Having spent the last seven months of my life going through some pretty drastic changes, I find myself sailing through uncharted waters, unsure of what is to come, but curious to find out where I'm headed. What I do know is that it would be nice to have some company on this journey.

What you see here is a work in progress. A man working towards his goals. A man in flux. And while that may be scary to some, I look at it as an opportunity. While many things about me might be changing (My appearance being the most obvious), there are many things about me that are constants. My intellect and sense of humor aren't going anywhere. My ability to coax a smile or chuckle haven't left, nor has my unique charm.

What you see will change, as it has quite a bit already. But what I am, who I am has never wavered. I have strong opinions, and I'm not afraid to defend them or stand up for what I believe in. I'm open minded, and always open for someone else's perspective. I'm a philosopher, a comedian, a smart ass, and I can hold a decent conversation on a wide range of topics. I am far from the typical Southern Californian, though I do enjoy the beach from time to time. And I've enjoyed going to the gym more than I ever thought I could.

What I'm looking for is someone that can handle me. Intelligence is a must. A love of film would also be nice to find, as I'm a movie buff. Women who enjoy staying in, as opposed to heading out to the "trendy" clubs. I enjoy going out, but I'm far more comfortable in a neighborhood bar than one of those dance clubs. I want someone who isn't afraid to try new things and explore her limits. The weak and timid need not apply. A rock fan, and I mean real rock, not that crap that passes for rock these days.

If any of this sounds up your alley, I'd love to hear from you.

I really can't describe a first date here. It just seems so unoriginal and silly to put out a form of what I would want to do with a woman when every woman is different. I like come up with the plan of action once I met someone, and got an idea of who they were. But not to get into specifics, I'd say something where you have a chance to get to know one another, a chance to talk. If you want a generic date, pick someone else.
