I'm the first person to laugh at jokes. I love spicy food. I make things from found objects and I'm always tinkering on something. I love to cook, hate to clean. I like the classics and the modern, the refined and the rough, wood and metal. I am a born leader but I get tired of it at times.

I am a moderate person politically and philosophically. I believe in tolerance, but I'm intolerant of intolerance. I'm not at all religious but I always strive to be a good person and act responsibly.

I'm really NOT into sports. I follow my school's teams and the Rays at times, but that's it. I stay fit and try to eat healthy but I'm not an exercise freak.

I'm a computer geek, but I don't take it too seriously. I work at one of the few remaining successful internet companies. I work to pay the bills; I spend the rest of my time pursuing whatever strikes my fancy. I have at least three future trips planned in my head. I plan on moving to the West Coast in the next few years--not sure which city yet.

Something casual, coffee or a couple of drinks at a laid back bar....first dates are for getting to know someone, so it's not all that important where it is as long as you can talk.
