Basic Information

About Me

Let's see, I just turned 43. I'm tall and slender (but very fit). My friends claim I wield a strong intellect and should be considered charmed and dangerous. I'll let you be the judge of that. I'm known to hang out at bookstores, farmers markets, and restaurants serving outstanding meals. My rap sheet includes multiple counts of heart breaking and entering, unlawful use of probing discussion, and inappropriate displays of public affection. My friends also describe me as energetic and fun to be around, but I also employ a small amount sarcasm (consider it a test). I relish learning new things and improving myself in areas of life I feel are important. I enjoy reading, fitness, and dark chocolate (processed sans alkali, of course). I'm not a huge fan of television, but I enjoy Lost and Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I tend to spend my time on productive pursuits. For fitness, I practice yoga, swim, perform body-weight exercises, enjoy a long walk or hike, and generally anything I find to be a physical challenge (no more gorilla chins because that's how I tore my right bicep). I find cliff diving is especially thrilling (to watch, not actually do). I am flawed, wickedly amusing, and always ready.

I'd like to meet

Seriously? An alien. ;) If my choices are more terrestrial, I'm very interested in meeting someone who is like me. That is to say, fit, fun, interested in health, reads, uses their brain, and enjoys life and what it offers. I'd also like that person to help me transition from being "textiled," to that of a person completely comfortable nude OUTSIDE my home.

Interests

Books: It, by Stephen King. That, or The Stand, also by S. King. Am currently reading The Age of Reason and The End of Faith. I just finished Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. Food? After careful consideration, it's gotta be grilled dolphin. I mean, they are cute and all, but damn if they ain't some tasty fish! If you have the option, go for the Bottlenose variety. Actually, I'm a health freak, so I take excellent care of my body and think about what I put into it (and, if you want to relate to me, you should too). My rule is simple: 90/10. 90% of what I eat is going to be extremely healthy (so, if I'm going to eat you, you need to rate) and 10% is going to be somewhat less-than-healthy. That means no smoking, a rare glass of wine or a beer, and lots of healthy (but fun) activities.

Music

Music? I have tons of old CDs, and thousands of MP3s, but my favorite music streams out of Pandora.

Movies

Movies: It varies, but older movies like the The Godfather Part I and II certainly rank in the top 10 for me. Jaws was sick for its time (scared the shit out of me). Newer movies, like Avatar, are simply amazing to watch.

Heroes

Anyone who brakes the shackles society has placed upon them.
