I get myself into trouble a lot. I play hard, I don't take shit, I take risks, I don't tolerate fools, I don't back down from a challenge, but thankfully I rarely lose. My life is messed up and awesome.

I'm 28 years old and I'm a graduate student at UBC who runs his own business. This means I'm really busy, flying out of town on weekends and writing papers during the week. So it's hard to meet people in this sleepy little town.

More random facts for those who are interested.
- I'm "artsy". I sing, write, play guitar, and hang out in that scene.
- I'm finally allowed back into the USA, yay!
- I fought a kickboxing match this summer, and won free drinks.
-I can be an a**hole. But the kind of a**hole that's impossible to hate. I have my principles and I stick to them, whether you like it or not, and hanging out with me is always fun.
-I'm the guy who is perfectly comfortable making the first move; whether it be a romantic kiss on the doorstep or throwing you up against a wall and making out with you HARD.
-I travel all over for work, so I'm out of town a lot...buuut I also take my friends along sometimes to keep me company ;)
-A lot of my friends are artists (In a variety of mediums) so having an interest in the arts is pretty important.
-I read a LOT, mostly politics and philosophy, and I think Hegel is an idiot.
-I have a therimin, which is the musical instrument of the future from 1962.
-I'm not looking for the trophy girlfriend, I'm much more interested in personality. You don't have to be a model for me to respond, but if you are a model...please prove to me that you're ALL not bat sh*t crazy.

Hmmm what else...

I'm not taking this too seriously. I don't play mind games, nor do I placate low self esteem. Until you impress me I will treat you like my bratty little sister. I'm not just looking for sex or a girlfriend or just friends or anything specific, I'm looking for a feeling, and when I have that feeling I'll follow it.

Sorry if that's not specific enough for you, but anyone who tells you they don't work that way, is either lying or doesn't know himself.

I like short girls, sweet girls, girls who like it when I take the lead, I like a challenge, I like intelligence and creativity, I like it rough, I like nice smiles and bright eyes, I like adventure, I like warmth and innocence and idealism, I like your bad girl side and girls who can spell.

In the end, I don't really know what I like but I know it when I see it.

Bonus points if you can name the song in my title....
