About Me

Hello ... I'll do my best here. I'm rather critical of myself. Always trying to improve so it's hard to pin point my better qualities. I do pride myself on trying to be as considerate as possible. To a fault sometimes. I always try to think of the other person, friend, foe or stranger. I try to stay as active as possible and eat right since I feel it's the best way to stay healthy. I'm not normally selfish. I'm pretty laid back and very casual most of the time.

My Interests

Year round I like to lift weights, read, run ( inside or out ), hang with family and friends. When it's cold I'm usually on the treadmill or watching what little T.V. I watch. I do tend to like cold weather though. When it's warm out I like to rollerblade, run at the park, hike, take long drives with the windows down ... anything outdoors. I'm trying to get back into playing the drums but time isn't helping me.

I'd like to meet:

People who are laid back, kind, considerate, somewhat health conscience and somewhat active.

Music:

Music has been with me for most of my life. My favs are Rush, Queensryche, Tool, Billy Cobham, Billy Joel, Better than Ezra, Buddy Rich, Chalk Farm, Dave Matthews, Dave Weckl, The Eagles, Eric Johnson, Fastball, Geddy Lee, Genesis, Journey, Kansas, Live, Matchbox 20, Metallica, Natalie Imbruglia, Norah Jones, Ozzy, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Rusted Root, Saga, Shinedown, Skid Row, Soundgarden, Spin Doctors, The Outfield, The Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Van Halen, Van Morrison ... and so many more...

Movies:

Last few movies I saw ... Babel, The Departed, Borat.

Television:

I don't usually watch television. If I do it's Discovery or TLC. Although I have to admit ... I do watch the Sorpranos and UFC when it's on.

Great song quotes ....

This list may get quite long ... "Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear" Tool "This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to" Tool "Fuck all those gun-toting hip gangster wannabes" ...
