I am going to attempt the near impossible. I am to an Aston Martin, as other Men are to Cars. If you get that then I'm already impressed!

I want to know about your parents (in a non creepy manner! haha). I want to know I'm talking to 2nd generation "cool"! That's how 'real' I roll! (check out Spartacus and Gordon Gecko)

A few different things about me... I'm very claustrophobic. I don't do well in crowds, but I can manage. Although I can speak in public, even perform, I would liken my fear to someone public speaking for the first time. I think it runs in our family, or maybe it has something to do with growing up brown in predominantly white schools. It does come with some advantages. What's that you ask? I can see through other people's BS easier than most. For some reason, at parties with people I don't know, I seem to identify and make friends with veterans. I can spot a cop from a mile away, and I can read a room (sometimes even your mind :-)

I think it would be really cool to have a deaf or blind friend. Can't you imagine sharing inside jokes with one another! (I wish I could have known the artist Moondog while he was alive).

I've been honest and financially savy since before I was 10yrs old, and now I have a few businesses that I don't have to work as hard as I used to, in order to still make a great living. I work in investments and real estate, and don't take myself too seriously. I make as much as I am willing to work, but living life is still a high priority.

I want to have an extraordinary life. I want to be a cool old man. I'm in a great place in my life, and I want to enjoy it for a bit while sharing it with someone else. I prefer women without children, but I'm open to it, as well as all races, ages, and walks of life. I have even dated a Zoroastrian, even if the only thing that came from it, is the fact that I can write it. It's all about the "human experience".

I believe 'Sexy' is an attitude. I'm about 6' tall. I have a big but lovable nose. (My mom says it looks like a strawberry) I weigh a lean 167lbs, but the goal is to look better as I age well into my 60's! (I was also Mr UTDallas 1999... just sayin':-) I'm attracted to confidence, and one of the best ways I know how to get it is at the gym. Although I'd much rather be somewhere else, I know that staying sexy is important. We all gotta do our part to represent!(technically, a Sumo wrestler has an athletic body)

[excerpt from an email:

"PS: James Bond Costume?! Ha! It hurt me to change it, but I just got a drastic haircut. I visited my little brother out in Denver for Thanksgiving and he agreed to give up cigarettes if I would let him shave my head. I've had long[er] hair for awhile. [Guess it bothered him?]"

I’ve evolved beyond the need to date women exclusively for sex. I want to have an open dialogue with an interesting woman who can get past the surface and connect on a more human to human level, ie. Down to Earth! I find women who have the guts to ask out a guy they have interest in to be a rare and sexy quality. Guys deal with rejection, can u? Above all, I just want a really cool chic!

Some of the most boring people in this world are beautiful, because they never see the world with the perspective the majority of us do. Everyone laughs at their jokes, and men find reasons to start behaving themselves. I had to grow into my looks, or rather shrink into them, so I understand the hard decisions it takes and the hours at the gym, but I want someone who's coolness way surpasses their looks. Let's face it, we can't all be rockstars forever.[Slam on aging Rockstars intended!]. So when our looks do eventually fade, I'll know more or less with whom I can grow old.

I may change my profile, but that's b/c I wanna stay interesting... its the only way I can show you my best feature... My personality! Opposites attract because we are capable of finding other perspectives beautiful.

I like the quote, "it's pretty strange to know the world when you're not from it"

A couple of my favorite books were The Catcher in the Rye, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Siddhartha

A couple of my favorite musicians right now are, Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, Phoenix, and Pearl Jam (again)

Also, I'm not a frog

Dinner, movie, hookah, BBQ? I prefer to have a great conversation over drinks or coffee. It all depends on what we have in common, but if it leads to more dates, then a great one for me is staying in with a bottle of wine and watching movies like Tropic Thunder, or Fantasia ;), or my favorite... Into the wild.

Or...
A Radiohead Concert. A Pink Floyd laser show, sneak midnight movie screening, or even Roller Coasters!
