. . to meet me: 1) My smile and infectious sense of humor. 2) My name is of Celtic origin and means, “brave, noble, strong.” ; I’d like to think I’m at least one of those three. ; :) ; 3) I’m a very positive person. 4) I believe I have a nice balance of fun, sporty and intellectual interests. ; This is where I oh so casually mention that I’m immersed in writing my first book, that yes, will be published. ; I promise not to mention it again. ; 5) I’m a good guy (but certainly not in the boring, please-walk-all-over-me kind of way). ; If you decide to meet me, you will also find someone who is honest, social, athletic, energetic, and some just might say handsome. ; My life's credo comes from my favorite author, Jack London: "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."Ah, the gazillion dollar question is upon me! If I had the answer to this, perhaps I wouldn’t be single. ; The horror. In all seriousness, it's all about chemistry and to me chemistry is far more than just physical attraction. ; Sure, it starts there but once we meet it’s about “clickage”—do we click. ; I seek someone who has similar likes and dislikes as me, but is still different enough to broaden my horizons. ; Here are some of the things I like to do: go to movies, plays, concerts, comedy clubs, bicycle, bodysurf, run, swim, hike, lift weights, read and write, enjoy vintage automobiles, laugh, spend time with family and friends, travel (here and abroad) and basically enjoy life.
