I am looking for someone to keep me company and an activity partner to laugh with and make dinner for, someone to go on a bike ride with or to the movies and especially to concerts.

I grew up in S. Florida, then did my undergrad and grad school in N. Florida. I lived in NYC for four years, working for a company that hired me out of grad school. I've been in Baltimore for two and a half years now, working for a branch of the same company. I ride my bike to work every day.

I work at a job that I like with people who are smart and fun.

I attempt to make time to: explore Baltimore, make new friends, go out and try new things, ride my bike to new places. I also like relaxing with friends or having a late afternoon BBQ.

I try to go to the gym 5 days a week when work and life permit. I do some boxing, running, weights, and crossfit type stuff.

I make time to play my guitar whenever I can.

I went to the Baltimore Bike Party meetup a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. I kept thinking what a sense of joie de vivre I felt from everyone on the ride and that this phrase well described the general tenor of the event. I am excited about going to the next one.

I am pretty good at cooking. I am somewhat analytical though not obsessively so. I can play some mean old slide guitar.
I am good at accents.

I guess I am tall and somewhat barrel chested. I am told I have nice legs and I am not one of those guys who is afraid to wear shorter shorts when the weather is warm.
I have a space between my teeth that is distinctive.

My new glasses are very round and my boss accused me of resembling Harry Potter. I think they are sharp looking though.

I have been reading Bernard Cornwell lately, who writes historical fiction about England - frequently chronicling characters who play a role in milestones throughout English history.
I really like Shakespeare, especially the modern adaptations in films like Richard III (1995), Titus (1999), and Macbeth (2010) -
where all the sets are taken into a more modern context, yet the characters and dialog remain (mostly) unchanged.

I love Indian, Thai, Middle Eastern, Italian, & Cuban food. I like cooking a lot. I love fancy pants craft beer. Last summer a friend got us tickets to take the tour of Dogfish Head in Rehoboth. It was a lot of fun. And the beach was nice too.

This season I have been watching The Americans, Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and House of Cards. I don't have TV, just internet.

I love live music. I just saw Andrew Bird live and he was pretty amazing. I have tickets right now to see Fiona Apple, Neko Case, & Florence and the Machine. I saw the Civil Wars in DC on U street and they were so good!

Update:
September - went to see Bon Iver and they were incredible!
Also recently saw Milo Greene at the Rock and Roll Hotel on H St in DC. Their singing and quiet/loud dynamics really slay me.
I like the way everyone trades off instruments on different songs and that everybody sings. It is great that they have a lady in the band too.

Right now I have tickets to see the XX/Grizzly Bear, the Lumineers, the Postal service, and Aimee Mann.

How I can make my life be more fun? How can I better connect with people and find community?
How can I have intimacy and genuine meaningful human interactions with friends, family, and acquaintances?
How can I create opportunities in my life to further seek these things out?

It depends, sometimes I don't find anything to do,
so I just wind up going to the gym, then home to make
dinner and go to bed.
Nights when I find planned activities via meetup groups or if I am invited to something, I like to go out and be with people.
Some example activities might include riding bikes, or seeing live music, drinking beer with friends in the neighborhood, or maybe cooking dinner for friends.

I think being naked is fun and not just in a sexual context. Although if we go out together I promise to be fully clothed.

You want to go for a bike ride with me or out to see some live music. You are intelligent and active. You are thoughtful. You like books. You want to teach me how to dance.
