*** oh my god, the games. lol. please no more... we can play trivial pursuit or monopoly or watch the game show network (i love that channel), but please no more of the "on-here-not-fun-games".***

who were the last 10 presidents? is there a sequel to Boondock Saints in the works? who directed Slumdog Millionaire and what other films has he made? what are some of the better hostels to stay in when backpacking across europe? what is mos defs best song? what is Common's best album? who was "the fifth beatle"? what are the best tv shows from the last few years that have been canceled after only a few episodes? what is the best non-fiction book about the history and present situation on the continent of Africa? what are the 4 funniest shows on tv? what happened on last weeks episode of survivor? who is the greatest director of italian neo-realism cinema? who is the best director working today? why was LBJ such a great president even though he is most associated with the vietnam war? what is one of the best autobiographies ever written? in what episode of The Simpsons does homer keep losing out to an iron rod? was The Sopranos finale good? what FX show did Glenn Close star in for a season before Damages? where is the best sushi place in the city? who invented tupperware?

if someone who can answer all those questions sounds interesting to you then say hi... also, if you can't answer them i don't care - i think that being able to learn from the person you are with is just as important as having some things in common.(looking over the questions, i noticed that things tended towards tv and movies. my interests go way beyond that, but those were the things that popped into my head as fun question form items)

other things you might want to know about me: i have also done lots of traveling all over europe, have two university degrees (film and political science),
am eclectic in my interests,
i am a good dancer,
i like wine,
i can be very sarcastic (so you HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR and a sharp wit is much appreciated),
i love good stand up comedy,
i am very easy going,
i tip well at restaurants (bad tippers bug me),
i appreciate someone with whom i can have a debate without it turning into an angry argument - i honestly don't get angry much and appreciate someone who can communicate in a mature way when there are problems)
i can run pretty fast,
i'm not a grate speler,
i'm a decent cook and getting better,
i'm clean,
i do some photography,
i have a strong creative side,
i am a big film buff,
i write a blog about film and do a podcast as well,
i work out,
i shave my own head,
i think that Free Credit Report Dot Com commercial song is really catchy,
the SNUGGIE scares me,
i'm not a great singer,
i make a good smoothie,
i appreciate people that can have an interesting and intelligent conversation and disagreement,
my eyes change colours,
i write pretty good lists,
i have a rather large DVD collection,
i love going out for breakfast on the weekends...

i know i look young, but i really am 33. my background is italian and russian, but i unfortunately speak neither. i like a night out with friends for dinner and drinks and a good party, but a night in with someone special with tv or a movie is also really perfect...

also... ive been on here long enough to realize that women play a lot of games for some reason. PLEASE NO GAMES.... all i ask for is HONESTY (i have to stress that point) and i will give it back.

I AM LOOKING TO MEET IN PERSON... just saying, because it seems like people are on here to chat and chat and chat and chat and chat and chat... you get the idea.

of course we have to chat first, but if there is mutual interest i would like to know that the person i am talking to is also looking to meet in person.
