Nice Guys Finish Last??

About Me

Its difficult to summarize everything about oneself or what someone wants without making it sound like a sales pitch, but I guess that's what this is :) I would describe myself as a confident person (most of the time), very perceptive and very thoughtful. I like to make people relax, laugh a lot, and enjoy long conversations (a dying art by the way). I enjoy playing sports, trying different cuisines, restaurants and going out for drinks on occasion, but I'm also equally happy staying home cooking, painting, decorating, doing arts & crafts (I know, I know, you can stop laughing now!) as well.I believe you should have a lot of passions or do things with passion; working out is a huge passion of mine. I'm at the gym 4-5 times a week and it is responsible for one of my most significant accomplishments. I believe in keeping your mind just as fit as your body and it would be great to find people that like to stay active.I'm also going to be posting a blog for the first time; a journal of how I lost weight, my dating misadventures, and other thoughts and opinions. Hopefully they strike a cord with people and make them laugh.

My Interests

Range from sports, working out, new restaurants, drinks at lounges or patios during summer, reading, home decorating (lol), and the standard movies/TV/going for walks/etc.

I'd like to meet:

I know I'm supposed to choose someone famous/popular/hero, but I'd rather meet new, interesting people. I think you should take pride in your appearance so I like to surround myself with people athat take of themselves both physically and mentally. I also believe the more facets to a person, the better. People that feel at home dressing up or down, and are open-minded enough to try new things, from food, to travel, to the arts, etc.

Music:

All over the place except for country, blues, grunge, teen angst college bands :) I'm equally belting out 80's tunes to trance to heavy metal, lol!!

Movies:

Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but thats rare for me since I like a lil bit of everything. Never listen to critics. Like epics/horror/suspense/sction/comedy/"B" movies/etc.

Television:

Don't have much time for TV and I don't do the whole "I have to be home by __ to watch ____". I'm always up late so late night TV is pretty much it. Like pretty much discovery/cooking/TLC with a few sitcoms thrown in, with King of Queens leading the way.

Books:

Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Military/Autobiography

Heroes:

Looks back at me in the mirror everyday, lol!!
