My Self-Summary

A self summary. . . hummm. After 4 decades of self reflection, introspection and talking to myself; I have come so several conclusions. I value intelligence over agreement, knowledge over ignorance and strong willed stubbornness (if it's thought out) over tacit agreement (even if it's one of my core beliefs). I believe that if you don't have intellectual curiosity, you belong on "Reality TV."

But enough abou my beliefs, a little about me physically. I'm tallish (6' 0") in decent shape (185 lbs and lean). I not pretty, but I know I'm not ugly either (I look like an adult sized 'Webster' I'm smart, well travelled, and a master of whimsy. I have a sunny disposition and laugh easily and often.

What I’m doing with my life

In my own way, I try to make myself a better person. I workout as much as I can. I keep myself well informed daily (NY Times, BBC World News, WorldNetDaily - just kidding) I exercise regularly, and I eat healthy, tons of fresh fruits and raw vegatables, no fried foods except chicken of Lakers game days. (It's a ritual)

In my professional life I am a corporate mouthpiece. The official name is Technical Sales. It means I explain complicated thing to simple people for a fee. I am currently trying to upgrade to a better employer with better corporate benefits that' more recession resistant.

I'm currently learning Chinese for fun?!?!

I’m really good at

I am a great listener and an even better confidant. I'm an incurable romantic and genuiely emphathic. I am articulate, a great conversationalist and an accomplished racontuer. After writing all of this I feel compelled to add "huge blowhard".

The first things people usually notice about me

Usually it's the tail. I mean a two foot long furry tail isn't really that strange is it. Aside from the that, people often comment that I look like an adult version of 'Webster'. People also say I look smart, until of open my mouth and ruin the illussion.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Favorite Books/Authors: Paublo Neruda, Shakespeare, Theory of Justice (John Rawls), Immanuel Kant, 100 Years of Solitude, Jorge Borges,

Favorite Music: Elvis Costello, DMB, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Monk, John Mayer, Movits, classic rock

Favorite movies: LOTR, The Philadelphia Story, Grosse Pointe Blank, Much Ado about Nothing

The six things I could never do without

My iPhone
My fortress of solitude (someplace I can brood and question the path of mankind)
My ability to reason
My sense of humour
My friends and family
My bike

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How much my head weighs, why I have such a splendid tail when others have none. Why aren't there special for accessories for tails like there are for heads?

On a typical Friday night I am

Fridays I wash and set my tail. I have to keep my best asset looking good.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

It was like a bad dream, my first public appearence and I was completely naked. Well I was frozen in fear and dread. The lights we bright and I was cold and shivering. When my eyes finally focused, I saw my mother in the crowd. I thought things couldn't get much worse until a man in uniform grabs me and SLAPS me in front of everyone. The worse part of this story is that every year my "friends and family" get together to celebrate my first and greatest shame.

Or conversely, if left to my own devices, I will travel the caverns of my mind performing self evaluation and self discovery. But mostly I look for and find things that make laugh. And then there's the off-key singing to my favorite ballads.

You should message me if

You are interested in meeting someone who is serious about relationships but not serious about life. You're tallish (5' 6" or better) or very secure and confident. I don't want to tower over my partner or intimidate her unconsciecely. I am a 6 feet tall black man, I know the subconscious visual impact that can have. (Have I mentioned that I think about everything.) You have to like to talk, be strong willed, opinionated and above all else intelligent. I grew up watching Katherine Hepburn movies (Deskset/Adam's Rib/Pat and Mike) and came to think that she reprented the Ideal Woman.
