Calvin, at heart

About Me


I'm easily entertained. I enjoy clever, witty people and occasional good sarcasm . I like physical challenges. I love foreign languages and want to speak as many as possible. I love architecture and am fascinated by european buildings. I'm a big family man. I love to challenge myself and my friends to accomplish things they thought were "impossible." I'm a huge flirt. I sometimes don't know when to keep my mouth shut. I love to salsa. I'm completely random. I love to travel but I don't get to do it enough. I love live music and theater. I enjoy hanging out with my boys, plotting how we're going to take the world by storm. I'm looking forward to sky diving sometime soon - update...I did it. Can't wait to go again, right guys? I'm looking forward to retiring early and designing my first custom home. I'm torn between the city and suburbia. I love camping with my friends and family. I really want to take up mountain biking because I love the rush of "driving" fast combined with the beautiful scenery.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sushi chefs that have an affinity for pro-bono work. A patent attorney. Carmen Electra. A screen-writer. Someone who's started their own LLC. Witty people who make and understand obscure references. "We can't stop here, it's bat country..." and "I fart in your general direction," and "What's the soup du jour?...that sounds good, I'll have that," spring to mind. People who aren't afraid to be the only one laughing in a theater. People who are easily entertained with nature and being outdoors. Risk-takers. People who have eliminated "can't" from their vocabulary. I want to surround myself with people that know more than i do about many things so that I can learn from them and share with them. People who would be good future business partners, think-tank partners and idea-people. People who have a burning desire to succeed at what they set out to do. I want to meet people with a passion for art, community service, music, self improvement, charity, language, travel and success. and food...I can't believe I almost forgot that...this boy is slippin'

Clarification...

It's Calvin as in the creative, philosophizing protagonist from "Calvin and Hobbes"....not the 16th century ecclesiastical theologian. I know, some of you weren't sure.
