nothing much to tell about me, since i live a pretty simple lifestyle. i work as a photo retoucher and sometimes do graphic design for freelance when opportunities present themselves. on my spare time you'll find me on the computer, playing my guitar, watching TV, and playing on xbox live (oh i bet like 90% of you reading this are hitting the 'back' button on your browser with that one).

i do excercise regularly but i dont have big arms or six pack abs. i spend about 5 minutes a day in front of the mirror simply to shave and brush my teeth and fix my hair...this means no flexing, spiking my hair, applying spray-on tan, bathing in cologne, shaving my nuts, or any other various douchebaggy grooming activities. im very shy and reserved in person but when i warm up i like to think im quite amusing, so you'll just have to have the patience to charm me out of my shell.

requests for anyone would be that you...

-are not married.
-are not into pointless depressing fabricated drama/laid back.
-UNDERSTAND THAT CAPS-LOCK IS NOT CRUISE-CONTROL FOR AWESOMENESS.
-understand that rudeness is not a substitute for honesty.
-know that romantic comedies are fiction and thus approach relationships in a realistic manner.
-have a scewed sense of humor with a dash of sarcasm...or at least the ability to put up with mine.
-does not consider foxnews "fair and balanced"
-enjoy argument in the form of debate but avoid bickering.
-are not part of a 'scene'.
-are not looking for someone to 'click' with, because that would just be weird and awkward.
-are someone whom i can clique with.
-don't mind that i love playing to video games.
-can understand and cope with the fact that i don't like to dance.
-can live with the fact that i just don't feel like using the 'shift' key.
-love animals, epecially ferrets, because i have 3.
-don't mind that i like to smoke weed occasionally.
-love sushi. (ok, thats not really a request, but it would be great if you did)


most importantly, i despise dishonest people, and far more than that i find cheaters to be utterly deplorable.
if you think there are times when its justifiable to have intercourse outside your committed relationship, then our basic grasps of logic and ethics are completely incompatible.

if you message me and i'm not interested, i'm not going to message back. i just think it sucks to get a rejection email. so, following the golden rule, i dont send them either.

i'm not interested in getting to know someone online. it takes too long, and always gives the wrong impression of people, including myself. i will be happy to answer any deal-making/breaking questions, but i'd rather have the 'get to know you' chat in person over a cup of coffee. i just think its a big mistake to run through all our small-talk topics before even meeting each other.

as far as meeting eachother, i prefer a brief chat over a cup of coffee for a little while and thats that. not a date, but also i hope not some dry awkward job-interview scenario either. hopefully we'll walk away still interested, but if we don't its no big deal. coffee is cheap and so is 20 minutes, so we should approach such a meeting in a strictly casual non-crucial manner.

but before anything i want to see a photo or two.
please keep it honest. anyone can look way cuter, younger, and more fit when they take a birds eye view shot and crank up the contrast.
