I'm a professional social worker, love kids and work with them as my career. I love camping, skiing, rollerblading, cooking, international cuisine, concerts, travel, martial arts and watching a good movie cuddling up with someone special. I have met my goal career-wise and I'm looking for someone to share my success with. I own a house and my life is stable. I'm a kid at heart and love to have fun. In a room full of adults, I'm usually playing with the kids and having fun. I'm apolitical and have my own spiritual views which tend towards Taoism and Buddhism, but with a Christian basis. I love all music, from Metallica to Mozart and most genres in between. I LOVE horror flicks (and someone curled up with their face hidden in my shoulder) but also love 'chick flicks' like the Ya-Ya sisterhood and such...I have many strong female influences in my life and sexism is something I'm not really capable of. I'm a male feminist. :o)

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So discreetly
We won't look back

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

My ideal date rests more with the person I'm with than with the activity we're engaged in...but a horseback ride thru the hills or a day spent perusing interesting shops would be nice. Meeting for coffee or drinks is also pleasurable. If you like sushi, we could explore the culinary arts of the Japanese, for I have a great love for all things Japanese due to my experiences as a martial artist. A Japanese tea ceremony is something I've always wanted to experience...I take pleasure in knowing my 'date' or partner is enjoying themselves, so anything that YOU enjoy doing, would rate highly on this list too...
