I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a simple man with a simple plan. I believe in avoiding materialism (except for, you know, a computer with high-speed internet, PDA, cell phone, TV, DVD, clock radio, automobile, electric toothbrush, and myspace page with epileptic seizure-inducing ring-tone adds...) I also believe in working hard to fix your own contradictions. I believe it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't. I believe in capitalizing proper names and the pronoun "I". The older I get the more pragmatic I am but I'm really trying to hold onto that warm glow of naive youthful idealism.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Friendly people in touch with their inner geek.

Life is better on a bike

Just the other day I bought an old ten-speed off craigslist for $65. You should understand that in my twenties I didn't own a car, by choice, even when I was flush with cash. I was the kind of guy wea...

There has got to be a better way.

Okay, technically this is a blog but in reality it is a diary that I just leave lying around. Like whispering to myself on the bus. You can hear exactly what I'm saying if you lean in close enough. My...
