I am looking for someone who is open minded to new things and not set in their ways who enjoys life and all it has to offer I believe in a "friends first" relationship and taking it from there if both are interested in persuing further. I love the outdoors and also "junking" (looking for antiques of things I collect) I can do black tie affairs or blue jeans and usually trust the "blue jean" type more than the black tie type. I must be a glutton for punishment as I am a Microsoft Engineer at an Iowa University, shouldn't be hard to figure out, only a few in Iowa :-) I do Network troubleshooting and support and teach those silly enough to do what I do for a living some evenings at an area College but am blunt with them about the "real" world of Microsoft. Even though I am a glutton for punishment I have seen many head games, yes even guys get "played" and feel life is too short not to be blunt and honest, again yes some guys can be honest :-)

I post in forums when I can or have time but be warned, I tend to have a dry sense of humor at times but try to get my message accross. Life is short and too many take things including life way too serious! Many need to lighten up a tad bit. I work way hard during week so like to cut down on the drama end as much as I can and not dwell on the past, carry luggage, or anything along those lines. You can be serious when needed but also know when to apply the work hard play hard rule and enjoy life!

I like quotes, trivia, history and learning new things and am a bad spellur and many typos but if that bothers you then you might be taking things too serious. I do not spell check when I am not at work :-)

A nice dinner, somewhere where you can actually hear each other talk and learn more about the other or coffee/drinks in public so you don't have to worry if I am an axe murder or some internet freak :-)
