Cool points for you if you know my headline!
First, thanks for checking out my profile, you're the best, seriously... I'm not just saying that. Describing yourself like a slick-talking used car salesman can be pretty awkward, so to make this a more interesting read, here's the skinny on me presented in four parts for your reading convenience:
PART I: A spiffy list of cheers and jeers:Thumbs Up: the Yankees, spending time with my family, dogs, drawing, painting, cooking/grilling, fantasy football, Halloween, The Simpsons, spending time down the shore, running at the park, warm weather, barbecue, tattoos, LOST (and all its nerdtastic theories), sloths, The Nightmare Before Christmas, collecting vinyl records, reciting Seinfeld lines, the 49ers, good grammar/vocabulary, Panera Bread.
Music is one of my favorite things in the world as well, Indie, hardcore/punk and alternative in particular. I can often be seen snapping my finger and tapping my foot along to bands like Thrice, The Smiths, Sigur Ros, The Chariot, The Postal Service, Radiohead, Margot and the Nuclear So & So's, Thursday, Pearl Jam, Elvis Costello, The Number 12 Looks Like You, My Bloody Valentine, Ramones, Animal Collective, The Cure, Maylene & the Sons of Disaster, Depeche Mode, Every Time I Die, Ryan Adams, Converge, At the Drive-in, Joy Division, Brand New, The Gaslight Anthem, Circa Survive, Deftones, Explosions in the Sky, and Modest Mouse, amongst others.
Thumbs Down: 
celery, Nickelback, drugs, heights, cold weather, cigarettes, rap music, the crappy Eco-friendly plastic they now use for water bottles, and those Geico Cavemen commercials(...these just aren't funny!)
PART II: The sincere, corny part that'll melt your heart. Ladies, feel free to swoon... I'm an old-fashioned, pretty simple guy. I was raised to believe that good manners and treating people nice goes a long way, my family, good values and morals are very important to me. I've been told I'm like a big kid too, I like to enjoy life and smile as much as possible, life should be fun, someone should tell all the goth kids. But above all else, I try to be a good person, and follow the "treat people how you like to be treated" school of thought. My parents have been married for 43 years, I admire that and aim for that kind of long-lasting relationship. My ideal girl would be a good, geniunely sweet, silly, loyal, slightly dorky, funny, family-oriented girl that loves dogs, and who would like me to cook for them or watch a Yankees game with me, preferably rooting for them, even though A-Rod will drive you nuts. If you have good taste in music, all the better.
PART III: The standard "my friends made me do this" explanation for being here to save face...Going on a dating site was far from my first choice, and I still contemplate 86'ing this daily. My friends kept telling me to try this, I was stubborn, stuck to my guns and said "No... Dating sites are for squares!". Then in fear of it being made for me, I eventually caved like an avalanche, and long story short, here I am. I figure this site should provide some good stories if nothing else, plus I do enjoy fish, be it fresh, ocean or Swedish. And for anyone who's kind enough to take the time to write me, I will write back, it's common courtesy, and the right thing to do.
And that's the thrilling story of me on here. I'm selling the movie rights to Hollywood. Look for it in theaters, Summer 2011.
Happy fishin' to all!
Later gators.
