Where should I start? I'm rugged, yet sensitive. I'm caring, yet care-free. I'm cynical, yet comedic. I love to laugh, to live life to it's fullest, and to explore all that makes this big blue world spin around.

I am not trapped in any time, or place, or circumstance... I want to see the world. I'm a little bit like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life"... I keep wanting to get away and see the world... and things keep getting in the way... lol.

I love going out to a concert with friends, or staying home with a good black and white movie and a nice bottle of Merlot.

I love working hard, playing harder... and most importantly when I find the one that sets my soul on fire... I give her my all. I spend most of my energy trying to please her, make her happy, make her feel special...

I simply ask for the love I receive to be equal to the love I give.

I grow tiresome of coming home to someone that cares not that I even walk through the door... I grow tiresome quickly of someone that thinks touch is only for the infatuated. I grow tiresome quickly of those who find it difficult to openly and honestly express their love...

I am a musician (pianist), composer, artist, writer, photographer... am incredibly passionate in all areas of my life.

If that doesn't scare you off...

Then...

... where are you?

Well, this would depend. How much time we had, how much money we had, and many other factors.

This also depends upon the personality of the person I am dating...

That said, I love a good steak... medium-to-medium rare, a nice bottle of wine... later, music or a comedy club is always a great way to break the ice or just enjoy the evening if it isn't going so well.

Now... depending on time and money... an impulse ticket purchase to Europe and a month spent back-packing is also a wonderful way to get to know someone. However... this would require a one-in-a-million-scenario ;-)
