I'm a typical Gemini with 101 ideas constantly whizzing around my head.
I tend to jump head long in to something just for the sake of it or to see if I like it, I learnt to fly an air plane before I could drive a car...didn't pass my driving test until I was 19. Did a little rock climbing to try and overcome my fear of heigh buildings etc., but haven't done any since the outbreak of foot and mouth a few years ago. Done some 4x4 off roading that was bought for me as a birthday present...wicked fun
. Learnt to ski a little as I was dating a girl in Montreal Canada.
Used to do Tae Kwon Do as a mate from work got me interested in it, but gave up after breaking my toe's twice and my body aching all over every week from the sparing. Took up kayaking about 4 years ago whilst on holiday in Turkey and love it, a sport you can do sitting down

This also means I tend not to go for the normal beach type holidays and prefer something a bit more active. I've travelled most of the USA (LA to New York, LA to Seattle and also Utah, Nevada etc.) along with some of Canada (Montreal) and South Africa (Jo Burg, Kruger NP, Cape Town up to Port Elizabeth).
I'm not a great lover of night clubs etc, prefer a more relaxed social scene such as a meal with friends or a natter over drinks. I like to visit new places, take my time, window shop and grab a coffee etc.
As for my appearance I'm stocky build I guess, used to cycle a lot and work out so relatively solid, I don't have any tattoos or piercings and also don't wear any jewellery...not even a watch.
Hair: Brown (though it has been electric blue at one point followed by succulent red
)
Eyes: Green but yellow in the middle though some people tell me there actually blue
My music taste is all over the place, currently going mental over Seasick Steve
but also listen to stuff from Marilyn Manson, Placebo, Garbage, Pink Floyd through to Julia Fordham, Norah Jones, Ibiza trans tracks, Stanley Clark and 80's stuff like Level 42, Simple Minds etc.
My film taste is similar to my music and all over the place, my collection includes Four Weddings and Funeral, When Harry Met Sally, Roadhouse as well as stuff like The Matrix, Stealth, Black Hawk Down along with Garfield and Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
I'm solvent, bought my house back when I was 21 and also got the usual stuff like a car etc. and to be honest I find money and people who measure there succsess by how expensive their BMW is a major turn off, I've learnt the hard way that life is just way to short...so make the most if...and there are far more important things than money.
Well this should give you a bit more of an idea about me...if not...then good luck but keep looking as I doubt we would click. If you want to know more then just ask me a question.
Something quick and easy, meet for coffee and a pastry...30 to 45 mins should give us both an idea if we want to see each other again.
