I don't like talking about myself much, so I'll just add to this little by little & get most of what you want to know out right here. This way when we talk or meet, you'll already know EXACTLY what to expect with me even before the first message & we can just focus on YOU then. 8^) This'll probably wind up being huge then, butT whatever.

What to say first? I LOVE CINEMA & HOCKEY! After God and family, cinema and hockey are what mean most to me in the world. I'm a Rangers/Ducks fan, but I do respect the Devils. I myself am a screenwriter. I've completed a few works that I'll try to sell when I get to Los Angeles by 2011 & I work on at least one script every week.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY to a close-knit all-Italian American family & moved here at an early age. I'm very lighthearted & funny in most cases. Winning "Class Clown" and "Most Likely to Brighten Your Day" in high school, I’ve got a knack for “limit testing comedy.” -ha- DO NOT BE AFRAID to be an absolute crazy goofball when you're around me! I condone that & am attracted to humor & goofiness, so go nuts! -ha- No formalities necessary; life is short. Sophistication and maturity can be equally attractive, too. To be truthful, just don't be shy to just talk a LOT around me. The less uptight and reserved you are, the less uptight & reserved I am, so just be yourself. I actually prefer to listen than to talk, and I find mostly everything interesting, so please yack your ass off; it's fine. In fact, let's even show each other our worst, shittiest qualities right from the beginning so there're no pretenses between us. -lol-

I am a devout Catholic [though not a very good one], but that doesn't mean I expect you to also be. I'll date pretty much anyone except for a Satan worshiper. -ha-

I love to organize stuff and keep things in order; since I was young, I've been a neat freak. I'm also very pro-environment and try to abide by the three R's as much as I can. I hate wastefulness--but at the same time, even though I respect this, I find voluntary community service where everyone wears uniform T-shirts & cleans a river to just be so dorky & lame. I guess that's a flaw? By year end I'll have two AA degrees & one BA--not bad for four years of college. I'm currently in a certificate / grad school program right now for Screenwriting . . . plan on eventually becoming a full-time PAID screenwriter in the future, but working my way up to that point through various jobs in cinema in the meanwhile. I haven't abandoned my initial plan, however. Plans on somehow inventing the world's first ever "and/or" punctuation mark are still in the working progress!

Musically? Oof, here we go . . . I am a huge fan of film scores, actually, and classic heavy metal & rock. I've lately been getting into industrial rock & blues. I also like old school hip-hop & almost any songs produced in the 1980s. -ha- I love the classical orchestral stuff, too, like what you'd hear in 'Fantasia' (such an awesome hunk of cinematic ass!) -- even Scandinavian jazz music is kooL to me. To make it easy, the only music I definitely DON'T like is punk, hardcore screamygarbage metal, most reggae, new school hip-hop, country & overplayed poppy music.

I'm willing to try a lot of stuff, but drugs, adultery & smoking aren't included. The only drugs I've ever taken are for allergies, I'd go skydiving without a parachute before adultery, and I've lost enough family members to cigarettes to know better . . . not flexible on any of that. If you're a smoker, then you're not disqualified but expect me to be on your case about that. -ha-

I say I'm looking for dating up top, which for now is true--but a long term relationship is the ultimate goal. You've got to take things like that a step at a time, though. Hey, isn't there a Whodini song about that? . . .

What should I say about dating stuff? Well, I've never once had a problem being loyal when I'm taken; that's not an issue here & I'd hope it's not an issue on your side. I've also never had anyone say I was a bad kisser--no matter how bad an argument we were in after a breakup or anything. -lol- I totally pride myself on that. 8^) For as long as I live, I will never understand why females prefer personality types that abuse the hell out of them. I'm not a saint, but if I'm with someone, I'll treat her with as much respect as I have to give. I despise yelling; that's the worst. I'm soft-spoken & find yelling very difficult--which is ironic considering the average sound volume of any of my family members. Even if I'm right in an argument I'll just let it go & change the subject. I really, REALLY hate arguing--esp when it's over miniscule garbage. Obviously I never have or will strike a female; no one should do that, though. Shit, if I haven't with my latest ex then I know I never could. 8^O

Anything else about me you want to know, ask for my AOL/AIM, Yahoo! or Windows Live screen name--I'm on all that crap. Leave me a message, or even ask for my number--or Facebook, My--ahem--Space or YouTube links. I’m a pretty approachable dude. I don't do the whole "I looked at your profile, now look at mine as I play hard-to-get" crap. In fact, I really don't go out of my way to find people on here anymore, so just contact me, let me see the notification in my inbox & we'll start from there. That's why I keep so much text here; I'm baiting you, damnit! -ha- Thank you for your interest! 8^)

If you get in touch with me, you will get a response no matter what--unless I'm DEAD. I find it rude when people don't get back to me, so I make sure to reply to everything and everyone! I'm a strong believer in the golden rule.

CAVEAT: I'm not here to make married or separated friends. If you're married & want to hook me up with your sister or something, then that's fine; contact me. Also, if you already have a boyfriend, go 'way.

I'd obviously want to get to know you more than anything else. I actually don't think first impressions are do-or-die, but I'm still as formal as can be. It's important to know if our humor is compatible or not. I suppose after we know that, it should be relatively smooth sailing from there. Read the third paragraph I wrote up above! Just having a conversation & relaxing is all I'm looking for; you put too much pressure on it & you only set yourself up for disappointment or get nervous or whatever. Just let it all come natural--even if you come across as an ***hole. At least you're being yourself. -ha- Just walking around aimlessly & talking is a simple little pleasure of mine; it doesn't matter where it's to. I'm usually up for anything that involves being one-on-one; movies can even be distracting. Unless the first date is, like, eight freakin' hours or something, I wouldn't opt for a movie. Other than that, I'll do pretty much whatever. I'm not a supporter of more intimate stuff on the first couple dates. Kisses? IDK, they just happen or not, I guess. I love kissing as long as it feels right & doesn't seem forced or awkward.

"What I'm Looking for in a Girl" (paraphrase from a blog of mine)
- You have to smell good & practice good hygiene! Even if your looks are brutal and you're mean, if you overwhelm me with a sexy smell, then I'm under your spell. -ha-
- You have to live relatively close to me.
- You have never considered suicide, your childhood didn't "force" you to become a miserable [witch], and you are NOT--absolutely NOT--an unmedicated bipolar manic depressant! (Been there, done that. No more.)
- Yeah, I don't wanna go out with someone that sounds like a dude.
- If you are a diehard fan of Celine Dion or R.E.M., I don't like you. It's really THAT simple. -ha-ha-
- Unless it's something so obvious that it's laughable, I don't lie about anything, so I don't expect you to. If I find out you do, I'll lose a shitload of respect for you in an instant.
- Don't cheat on me . . . ever.
