My life is interesting. It is either running at full throttle, or idleing at the light. When I have the opportunity I really enjoy a fine wine or microbrew, and good company, just kicking back at home and relaxing. I think of my place as where I escape the real world. I have a good job that I enjoy, and I'm working with good people who appreciate me for my work ethic and my ambition. I believe in setting goals, and achieving them... nothing can stand in my way. Career wise, I'm solid. I'm am working where I am because I want to be there, not out of neccesity. It is demanding, but also rewarding. Relationship wise, I am a die hard romantic. I believe in movie moments. I want to have memories with my partner that are original and meaningfull and connected. Everything I do, I do whole hearted. Sometimes it works for a brief period, sometimes only for an evening, but I am an original. I am searching for that hit of lightning, that look, that pull on the heart that is inexplicable, but real. The girl that I have been waiting for.

I've been knocked down a few times, but every time, I get back up, dust myself off, and actually am grateful for the experience. I believe that there is no such thing as a bad experience, as long as you learn and grow from it! I realise that life, or God, or whatever higher power you feel, will never set an obstacle in your path to defeat you, only to challenge you and make you stronger. That to me is what it's all about.

To be totally honest, I'm not looking for any specific traits or attributes. I'll know who she is I think immediately. I'm not going to pursue anyone specifically on here.

I'm pretty open, so feel free to contact me.... I'm witty, confident, happy, and optimistic. I've got a sense of humor that's hard to describe, but I always am laughing, smiling and joking. Please don't try to make me take life seriously, I like living life to the fullest.

I am constantly trying to learn new things, and am into philosophy, self-actualization and religion (not the cult type, but the searching for meaning type). I have no belief in any form of structured religion. I suppose it is like losing your virginity, you generally do it with someone that you will not spend the rest of your life with. But, it is experimentation, and a learning experience. I did it for me, no one else.... it's just another step in my path to who knows where. And in all honesty... if you want to categorize me on that one little piece of info, get ready for the shock of your life. I curse, I drink, I fight, and occasionally I do things that would make my Mom blush. Ahhhhh.... good times.

I actually have met some really nice people who have made my life richer for just chatting with them, and getting to know them. But, I haven't found HER. I pretty much laid it all out there now, so if it is you, please, drop me a line. That's about it, be yourself, be honest, and communicate. A wicked fun sense of humor never hurt either.

Anywhere that we can talk and determine if there is a resonating connection between us, a first date should not be a movie or any other cop out to conversation
