I listen to most genres of music, and have a diversified CD collection from years past when people actually still used CD's. =)

I'll watch just about any genre of movies as long as the plot is well-written and the actors can carry the plot. But my favorite genre of movies is probably porn. JUST KIDDING! (or am I?) ;)

I don't watch a lot of TV, but if I do it's usually the Discovery channel, the History channel, Court TV, Crime TV, A&E...channels along those lines where you can actually learn something.

I don't really have favorite authors that I read on a recurring basis. I just read whatever happens to catch my interest at the time.

The only sport I take any real interest in is MMA. It's the only true display of the gladiatorial spirit. I also take a passing interest in X-Games, because the participants are required to develop a very high degree of skill in their respective competitive categories that can result in serious injury or death if they make even a simple mistake.

...Pretending that airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars...

At this point in my life, I think my dream is to meet a woman that I just find incredible in every aspect that will be my best friend, my partner, my lover...my everything. Not much to ask for, right? Um, yeah...sure.

I like to think that my best feature is my mind, because no matter how beautiful and sexy we all think we are, rest assured that the physical fades. So while you have that physical beauty, enjoy it, but remember that your mind is what can always become greater with each passing day.

In the interest of full disclosure right from the beginning so that there are no surprises later after we meet and fall madly and passionately in love after 30 minutes of sipping lattes, I'll tell you now that I possess abilities that tend to be very rare throughout the human population. One of my abilities is that I am psychic, so I know that you only visited my profile because you saw my photo and thought that I was really, really, really, really good-looking (just a Zoolander reference; I'm really not that narcissistic). Now you are debating whether to contact me and ask me out, or perhaps offer to cook me dinner with a sweet red wine. I won't say what you'll decide, but trust me, I already know. Sometimes my psychic powers amaze even me.

Err, uh, hmm. Well, I think I am kind, caring, passionate, compassionate, somewhat articulate (I can speak quite well most of the time with very few incoherent mumblings), and maybe slightly intelligent (nothing major in my opinion, especially since Mensa told me my IQ wasn't high enough for them). I'm reliable, dependable (no really I am), supportive, and can be a great friend. I tend not to be judgmental towards people, mainly because of my environmental upbringing, but also because of some rich experiences I have had over the years that embedded within me the importance of never judging the content of a book until you have at least read the first few pages. I've been told I'm handsome, but I won't really believe it until the woman who tells me that is fully sober (little joke there). I'm 43, 6'0", and about 200 lbs (although at some point I plan on getting my 21 year-old body back that weighed 185 - hmmm where did it go?).

I'm fairly career oriented, but have learned not to become obsessed with my career and get the tunnel vision of a workaholic and miss the things in life that were meant to be enjoyed before God sends me a personal invitation to join Him. I strive to attain the highest level of achievement in all things I do, and am still working towards achieving a few goals I set for myself, but I am still fairly laid back about most things. I definitely know where I want to be in life at the end of the road, so I am doing what I feel I must to end up there, but I would also like to have someone special beside me to share the journey with.

I've never been too enthused with the prospect of meeting a woman in a club (although you can occasionally find me surveying the local nightlife at the clubs), but I haven't succeeded with bumping my cart into a woman at the supermarket and striking up a conversation about Emeril recipes either (BAM!), so I thought I would give this a try and see where it leads. Being laid back and not taking the small stuff too seriously is a must. I realize no one is perfect, but I am somewhat looking for a woman with no major mental or emotional problems, and who values and can appreciate honesty and commitment. Physical attraction is important, as well as personality, so I am looking for a beautiful woman (inside and out) for friendship, dating, and hopefully more somewhere down the road. Other than that, I guess I would settle for a woman who is intelligent, attractive, caring, kind, a good cook (but I can (and often do) set things on fire in the kitchen as well), and has a good sense of humor. Anything beyond that will be considered an extra spoonful of icing on the cake. I look forward to hearing from you if you resemble the person I have described.

I recently bought the engineering plans off Ebay for a time machine designed by H.G. Wells. When we first meet, I would suggest we put the thing together, fast forward in time to the end of our first date, and ask our future selves how it turned out and whether they would like to see each other again. That way we get to skip the awkwardness of a first date, and put that burden on our future selves. When we pop out of the time machine in the future, if our future selves are hastily rearranging their clothing and the hair of your future self is a mess, then I will assume the first date went quite well, and there will be no need for any questions on our part.

If for some reason the time machine doesn't work as intended, a round of Twister always makes for a really entertaining first date...either that or Spin the Bottle.

Don't take yourself, or life so seriously. None of us are making it out of here alive.

My hair is currently short, but previously I kept it a few inches long, usually around my jawline. I also previously grew it to shoulder-length in order to donate it so that children with cancer that lose their hair from chemotherapy can receive a wig. Regardless of how long or short my hair is, I am still the rockstar I always was...that will never change. Hair is simply a superficial accessory that doesn't change who and what I am on the inside. Judge not, lest ye be judged first.

Life is not a dress rehearsal...this is the actual show that started on day one and doesn't end until your casket drops. The curtain for the show went up on the day you were born. Either go hard on stage, or be content to be an audience member staring up in awe at someone that is on stage putting everything they have into their performance. The best thing you can possibly do with your life is live it.
