My wife SioLazer and I are high school sweethearts looking to share the love, and the lust (not necessarily in that order), with the pretty ladies we both so adore. I'm a skeptical, dorky, feminist, eclectic, reserved, sometimes foppish, aspiring optimist, a perfectionist, and occasionally an idiot. INTP, FWIW. Sometimes too shy for my own good, but I'm trying to find the way out of my shell.

Mastering the zen of pinball.

Teaching myself to play the bass (as in electric, but string basses are cool too). Know any great bass lines?

Working nine-to-five, at a mellow office with awesome people.

Dreaming of opening a brewpub/grill. I'll run the brewery, she'll run the kitchen (our respective passions). Because Portland can never have too much good beer and gourmet food.

My other major aspiration is to become a lawyer; I'd like to practice in criminal defense and civil liberties. Perry Mason is a hero of mine. (Heroes can be fictitious, right?)

Fixing things, playing pinball, not taking myself too seriously, reading, writing, and arithmetic.

My laconic nature (more of a listener); sometimes goofy and sometimes dark, but always engaged sense of humor; gregarious and charming wife; and my bluntness.

As a news junkie I spend most of my reading time on it--web, newspapers, magazines. After the news comes my addiction to reference materials (I have over 10000 edits on Wikipedia and a copy of the compact OED). I do enjoy fiction but seldom find the time. The last novel I read? I noticed Song of Solomon on my bookshelf, which I was supposed to read in high school but never actually did (regrettably, I mastered the art of getting the best grades with the least effort). Read it in 2 days flat and wished I hadn't waited so long.
I dig movies by Tarantino, the Coen brothers, Buñuel, Monthy Python, and Hitchcock, among others.
TV: Simpsons, Futurama, Boondocks, The Office, Community, Outsourced, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Weeds, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Real Time, This Week, Meet the Press, Washington Week.
Music: I'll listen to anything with a good rhythm and melody--I dig (again in no particular order) zydeco, baroque, funk, classic rock, electronica, hip hop, bluegrass, metal, Motown, jazz, blues, ska, opera, and any anything in between--but I tend towards alt rock, punk, and pop-punk.
Food: I was a very picky eater as a child, but around adolescence I came to my senses and began to embrace all the flavors the world has to offer. I'll try virtually anything as long as it doesn't have an excess of raw onion, garlic, or cilantro (these are the flavors I tend to find overpowering). My favorites are anything spicy, barbecued, or meaty (so bbq beef brisket puts me on cloud nine). My favorite pizza combo is pepperoni and pineapple. I also have an incorrigible sweet tooth.

Love, sex, laughter, pets, verdure, and pinball.

The future; how everything could be brought close to perfection. I try not to dwell on the past. I do have a penchant for (over)analyzing stuff. For instance, when I rate somebody on here, if I subsequently message them and they don't respond, should I subtract stars? Proprietary algorithms, how are they operationalized?

Drinking a beer with SioLazer and perhaps a few friends, probably while playing pinball.

I'm an open book (e.g., I have no interest in "browsing invisibly"). Which page would you like to turn? I.e., what's the most private thing you'll be so bold as to ask? BTW, if you know when to use each of the preceding Latin abbreviations and what they stand for, you get eleventy bonus points in my book (no, I don't consider that a private detail; consider this my middle finger raised to the inane profile format of this site).

Your gut instinct tells you to. I promise I won't bite (unless you ask me to).
