About Me

The Dalai Lama once told me that, on my deathbed, I would achieve total consciousness. So, I got that going for me (for those of you who aren't Caddyshack fans, no, I didn't really talk to the Dalai Lama). Now, I know what you're thinking -- bold and not altogether bright move to lead off with a quote from Caddyshack. But, I like the classics, so I'm sticking with it. This being said, I guess I need to say something more serious that gives a (better?) sense of who I am, so here's my more standard profile fare: Got a life want more. Got some insight working on wisdom. I am nice, outgoing but quiet, and warm-hearted. I’m looking for someone similar who is fun, intelligent, and has a great sense of humor (i.e., laughs at Caddyshack or similarly dumb movies -- in other words, sarcasm, dry wit, and banter encouraged and appreciated), who likes to share everyday life along with adventures, and who is comfortable hanging out as well as socializing. I want the whole deal — friendship, romance, laughter, and, if we’re happy, a long-term relationship. I enjoy working and my business is important to me, but I also like to have fun doing the usual stuff -- playing sports, getting outside to hike, bike, or be active, yada, yada, yada. At the same time, I'm also pretty comfortable just hanging out, reading, or going to the movies -- as long as you're doing something you like (and especially if you're doing it with someone you like), I think it's all good. Now, some odds and ends. I find that I use parentheses a lot in my e-mail exchanges (and, apparently, a fair amount in my dating site profiles as well). I'm not above speaking in movie quotes or song lyrics although I promise not to ask any negative-minded folk at cocktail parties "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" (if warranted, however, I might tell someone to stop calling me Shirley). Oh, and I think it's nice to be affectionate -- I'm not talking about being all over each other in public I just feel that, in the right time and place, it's good to show each other that you care (having experienced a few relationships in an Arctic climate, I'm looking for something in a more temperate zone this time around). I'm sure there's more, but we'll just have to talk further for you to find out.
