I live in beautiful Sonoma County. I am that rare human being - a happy person...or at least I strive to find that moment of happiness and being STILL.

I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little.
One of my common answers is "don't ask me, I just know stuff."
I love interacting with people that keep me on my toes.

I find that my sense of humor always tries to find the most absurd finale to any joke or situation. If you lob me a softball, I will try to smash it out of the park

I am funny, thoughtful, and irreverent

I make a living doing what I love. I am completely passionate about my work. I spend my days designing wonderful AV systems for people and hoping that they will re-connect with their music. I spend my nights listening to music on my precious stereo. Some music only sounds good when it's really clear, and really loud!

making people laugh and feel comfortable.

I am a good listener, but being a male, I am always searching for solutions.

Spelling. I make an effort, I wish more people would as well. Please tell me if I have missed something in this profile!

Investigating random topics and research online. If I don't know the answer, I will not hesitate to look it up. I have a hard time in conversations when people are debating a correct answer or saying "what was that thing?" or "who was that...?" I have usually already pulled out my phone and started searching, so we can move on. Gone are the days when we don't have immediate access to just about any type of information. Take advantage of it!

People notice my smile. At least that's what my family says. My Hazel eyes were once described as looking like stones at the bottom of a cold creek. Pretty cool analogy!

Also, My Huge...Stereo System. It rocks my world!!!

Books: I hate this part! Everyone that I match with seems to love Bukowski. Maybe I should give him a shot? I don't have an eclectic list of writers or books that I can list.

Music:
I'm going to take some time on this one because it's one of my driving motivations. I am a sponge when it comes to external input! I think that it helps quiet my mind and gives me something to focus on now, and process later. Every morning I wake up with a random song in my head. Some days it's lovely, and some days I am disgusted by the horrible DJ in my head. I tend to take snippets of music and process what turns me on about that specific progression. It's rarely about the lyrics, it's about how the notes make me feel. I believe that music is a force of nature and I am happy to ride the wave.

My classics: James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Pink Sloyd, SMASHING PUMPKINS "HUMMER", 80's and 90's metal (Metallica, Pantera, Tool, etc.)

My dad took me to Kmart when I was in 6th grade to buy some albums. I came back to him with Motley Crue "Shout at the Devil" and Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" You should have seen his face when he saw IM's "Eddie", and the black on black pentagram on "Shout at the Devil"!

Who am I listeing to now? Nick Drake, Jose Gonzales, Ray LaMontagne, Zero 7, Brandon Flowers, Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Fleet Foxes, Iron and Wine, My Morning Jacket, Sun Kil Moon, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Wilco, Goldfrapp, Phoenix.

Will write more later. I'm sure that I will update this part often!

My Imagination!
My Ears!
My Fantasies!

Something to laugh about (in just about any situation)
The Internet

What it means to be Center Brained. Every time I take Left-or-Right Brained test, it says that I'm Center Brained. Maybe that's why I often get stuck between my feelings and the conflicting logic of a situation. I am the one always saying "Now, let's look at both sides of this". While that trait may be desirable in theory, vacillation as a result can certainly cause as many (or usually more) problems as "going with your gut" or "just the facts ma'am".

With friends, or...surfing the interwebs :), listening to music and watching TV. Sometimes all at once. As stated earlier, I am an input junkie and it helps me to engage my visual and auditory senses, so I can process what's going on deeper within my head.

Sometimes I am abuser of punctuation!

You want someone who's not into being cool, who's actually interested in your opinion, and who will let you be you.
