About Me

I have lived in many places but seem to have settled here in columbus fo now. there is an aweful lot of stuff going on here...even if nobody is noticing.I like to travel..but these last few years been stuck. I spent most of 1998 living in asia. went to india, nepal, tibet (yeah tibet not china, need to make that distinction). 1996 was spent living in new york.right now I do marketing for a localy owned movie theatre. we have 2 locations and are known for being primarly an art house. after a failed business attempt I feel like I have actually settled into the thing I am supposed to be doing. well...we'll see. things change you know. and while I love my job its been a rough winter. so I am looking again.so as it turns out I am pretty interisting! my self depriciating aside. my wife and I are seperated for about a year now...still not final on the divorce...but were getting there... still trying to figure out just who I am these days...but seem to be pretty happy now. things are never perfect but they are what they are for a reason...make the best with what you got.hummm? looking at this map below is kind of depressing..guess I have not done as much traveling as I thought... goinna have to do something about that.

My Interests

don't let my lack of questions throw you off. I am intrested, just a terrible conversationalist. I like movies, and books. but am a bit of a snob. I like wine, but know nothing ecxept that I know what I like. I am the kind of guy who a girl can be flirting with and I won't realize it till next week, I don't eat very healthy, but am concerened about it. I don't want to be your friend, I want to be the bad guy, but I will end up your friend. I want to excersise more often but am too lazy. I have jumped out of a perfectly good air plane, but that was like 10 years ago. I love white water rafting. i used to write everyday,now I hope to have enough to say to the few people I talk to in the day, I like to drive long distances, I hate driving around town. I am a bit of a pushover if I love you or respect you. I forgive far too easily. I am my own worst enemy. I always have an excuss I enjoy walking my dog if it's not raining. I just plain love my dog. don't care much for foot ball, basketball, or baseball, kinda like hocky. and I played rugby in college(badly). I will watch any of the above if drinks are provided.the rest of this all got deleted. so perhaps one day I will write something new...not today.
