I'd like to meet:

A super cool, easy going girl, that loves nature/the ocean/ and life. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty or do some hard work every once in awhile. She loves her family, friends, and can always find a shining light in a bad situation. a positive ambitious outlook on life.

Gold Diggers, Princesses, Plastic, Lazy Bitches, VIP Whores, Bottle Servie Whores, and Spoiled Brats need not apply. Go find a Guido, Sarducci, Meat-Head, Metro that will cater to your every need.

In a perfect world she would look like Jessica Alba, Jolene Blalock, Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, or Jessica Simpson. A guy can always dream.

Music:

Nirvana / Matisyahu / Depeche Mode / Beck / Phish / Mark Farina / Pavorotti / Classical / System of a Down / Audioslave / Rage Against the Machine / Slightly Stoopid. Everything (I mean everything) except for new school country.

Movies:

Jacob's Ladder / Shawshank Redemption / Black Hawk Down / Requim for a Dream / The Thing / Lord of the Rings / Star Wars (all) / Godfather I & II / The Longest Day / Prince of Darkness / Starksy & Hutch

Television:

The Simpsons / Family Guy / Discovery Channel / TLC / Comedy Central / History ChannelI like to watch TV to laugh & learn something. There is so much garbage and pointless shows on TV that just waste your time.

Books:

Dante's Inferno / Brave New World / Lord of the Rings

Heroes:

My Family, Mentors, Victims & Heroes of 911, and our US Troops
