Before you read the rest of the profile, look on Youtube and find Ella Fitzgerald and Louie Armstrong's cover of Summertime! Could this song possibly be any better? Could there even be a duet greater than this? You get Ella Fitzgerald, the greatest female vocalist to ever walk the planet, paired with Louie Armstrong, who is easily in the greatest Jazz entertainers short short list as well. This duet is the musical equivalent of Leonardo DaVinci and Rembrandt painting together (while Thomas Kinkade cries silently in the corner as the effects of cyanide make his life slowly ebb away). Porgy and Bess never sounded so good. If you don't like this song, you're likely a Scientologist who's not allowed to feel real emotion (Hope you didn't find me using the word "Scientologist!". This is the duet that other duets dream about being when they sleep at night. This is the song that's beaming through space and will get intercepted by aliens who'll decide not to invade us because even a planet as %#&@$!ed up as ours is worth saving if it can produce beauty such as this.

What am I looking for in a partner?
I'm looking for something real and lasting. Is that possible? Possibly a relationship that gels as well as that song. I have primary custody of my five-year old daughter and she is the light of my life. Having a good job, masters degree, a house and decent car never made me feel as good as having a daughter has made me feel. What else about me? Well, I am a simple kind of man with simple tastes and probably one of the most loyal and nice guys you'll meet (a curse to some women... er girls... not real women). Im fun but introspective and hard to understand at times... Don't try - just go along for the ride. Its worth it. I feed well off your energy. I don't think I know everything, but I try too hard to figure it out though at times!

I didn't have a real answer here... but that really depends on the person and the season. For me, you can't beat a patio, chips and dip and a pitcher of margaritas. There is also a great conversation that neither of us wants to end.
