I enjoy the word ****. A lot. It's a good out loud word. Give it a try, say it right now. How'd that feel? Right. I've never understood people who say that "vulgar" or "adult" language is a crutch for those lacking intelligence. They're completely wrong. I rather enjoy finding new and interesting ways to use swear words. Of course, not a single ****ing idea comes to mind right now, but that might have more to do with the 18 mini-bottles of vodka I just downed in a five minute period.

I work for myself, which means I work a lot, but I definitely know how to take time off. I haven't forgotten that to be truly creative and productive, one must spend time relaxing and enjoying the things they love.

I'm a bit of a raconteur. I've got a geek side (I read comics, yo), but I've always had that in check. I work out four times a week, either with a trainer, taking a class or riding the bike. I'm a basketball fan. I like politics, but I don't get in political debates all the time (mostly with my lawyer cuz he likes to argue). I work out about three to four times a week and have goals to run my first 5K and working up to a mini-tri.

I like funky places. I prefer to stay away from chain restaurants and go for the local eatery. I like to find those fantastic places in LA you just want to drag your friends to. I love playing tourist in my own town. LA's an amazing place that's constantly upstaged by movie stars, movie studios and 45 year old women with boobs of a 20 year old (don't misunderstand, I'm not objecting on that last point. If there are any 45 year old women with the boobs of a 20 year old reading this, drop me a line! Please! OH GOD, PLEASE!). LA's a beautiful lady and she deserves some exploration.

Travel has been a big part of my life. I love the random adventures that happen during travel. I've been to Italy, Switzerland, England (twice), France, Holland, Mexico (too many times), Canada (Montreal and Vancouver), Fiji, Tahiti, Western Samoa, American Samoa, Taiwan and China and most of the United States.

I once almost died at the hands of a churro salesman in Tijuana, as well as the son of a village chief in Western Samoa. This is true. I'm hoping to avoid murderous situations moving forward.

I'm a funny, smart guy. I like new adventures of all sorts. I'm open minded and laid back. I'm honest and ethical. And I seriously have the most awesome, most cute dog in the world. People are powerless in his gaze.

I'm looking for someone with poise, smarts, confidence, a great sense of humor, goals, direction, desires, a sense of adventure, dreams and, naturally, the hotness -- of course that last one is very subjective and varies depending on the time of year, moods and, of course, the lighting. Someone who knows what they want and isn't afraid to voice that desire, whether it be professionally, personally or sexually. Someone mature, but who also knows how to revisit her inner 12 year old. To sum up -- someone awesome.

Something awesome.
