My hobbies include:
Reading the works of Robert B. Parker & Terry Goodkind.
Debating political topics. I'm a conservative libertarian, much like Ron Paul.
I enjoy assembling and painting miniatures and models from tanks to scifi creatures, paying close attention to the fine details. This is very relaxing.
A good game involving strategy or tactics.
I'm also an amateur gardener who enjoys getting his hands dirty. I have a few tomato plants this year and can't wait to eat them.
My list up top says the rest. I guess you could say I'm an adventure seeking, fun-loving, geek at heart.

Goals and aspirations.
I'm a 1st year Business student at TMCC. Once I have my Associates Degree I'll be earning my Bachelors Degree in accounting. Other goals would include owning a house that's in the country with a couple acres of land.

My friends and family say I have a natural charm about me, that just draws people to me. I get a laugh out of most forms of humor or jokes I consider myself a hopefully not so hopeless romantic. I enjoy taking my friends out for dinner, or movies, or just getting them things, same with my family. I think I"m one of the few people that will drop almost anything to help a friend out when they really need help. I'm pretty good with kids, on more than one occasion I've gotten them to stop crying by merely holding them or just smiling at them. I'm also fond of animals even though I have allergies.

Music and Movies.
My taste in music is anything and everything. I'm fond of classical music and jazz, enjoy techno, love heavy metal and rock. Some rap is okay mostly the political rap and funny ones like Read a Book. I love good operas, and love songs. I'm listening to Fantasie of the Wind at the moment, by Lisa Desimone, it's the english ending theme to Record of Lodoss War and is the best love song I've ever heard.

For movies, I enjoy all genres. easiest thing though would be to list my all time favorites in no particular order.
Ground Hogs Day
What Dreams May Come
Shawshank Redemption
It
The Stand
Taken (though this is a mini series not a movie.)

As for my ideal woman. She would be some one who knows what she wants in life, who is honest, caring, and considerate. She should share some of my interests atleast and would prefer someone of similar political leanings.

For a first date I'd likely go for coffee since there's nothing to distract you and you can spend your time talking and getting to know each other. Perhaps at one of the little coffee shops in a local book store.
