roman catholic / democrat / 5'10" / no kids
I have the curse of being a hopeless romantic - that's no picnic. I do not like green eggs and ham, I don't suffer fools gladly, and I love sushi. I hate Spam and all other canned meat, I always eat all my vegetables, I hate it more than anything when people don't wash their hands after using the restroom. I have one sister, two moms and two dads. I never turn on lights in my house, I just burn candles. I believe in Heaven and Hell. Tubas disturb me, it's easy to make me laugh, I've been fired from 6 jobs, and Forrest Gump makes me emotional. You can't beat me in Scrabble, don't go there... Monopoly either. I'm pretty lazy sometimes, but only for a few minutes at a time. I get annoyed when people use too many abbreviations and acronyms, I can't dance to save my life. I collect quotes. I am known be quite an asshole, but I am fiercely loyal to my friends. I own a Porsche, but my Apple MacBook is my most prized possession. I am ruthlessly ambitious, slightly self-centered.
I usually can't make up my mind, though I always know exactly what it is that I want... go figure. Si habla espanol, je parle le français. Vodka martinis makes me happy, I think. My family calls me Moose, which I hate, but they spell it "M-U-Z." One time I fell asleep in an airport and was stuck in Las Vegas for two days. Sometimes I just need to be alone. I have a seven-year-old outstanding traffic warrant in Mobile, Alabama. I give to every homeless person I come across, even if I know they're just gonna buy liquor. My profile describes me as 5'10" and athletic, which is true, but my only method of exercise is walking back and forth to the car each day. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life, but forgot to write it down. I've won spelling bees, I've been caller number 9, and was always picked first for dodgeball. I've discovered that when I close my eyes I become invisible and the madness stops, I just saved up to 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico, I met my best friend in Latin class, the laws of physics do not apply to me, and I never, ever use a preposition to end a sentence with. I am a walking contradiction.
I am Michael-Ellis.
Somethings I like are: Mild weather, the color beige, remote-controlled ceiling fans, gratuitous violence in movies, football (watching it), golf (playing it), sending flowers to my mom, Europe, obscure literary references, wikipedia, spontaneous combustion, driving well over 150 MPH, generally risking my life for less than noble reasons, black jelly beans, volcano sushi, people with accents, Casino (the movie), Caesar's Palace (the casino), the Clintons, vodka, Bernie Mac, Blockbuster Nights, boy-shorts on a woman, the roar of the ocean at my beach house, air conditioning, jazz, private jets, subtlety, constant adoration, cool gadgets, rainy nights, reading, spinach artichoke and feta cheese pizza, traveling, mexican food - especially those steamed tamales in the banana leaves, elitism, capitalism, Seal (the singer), the mirror, high-brow humor, Bender from "Futurama," French Country Architecture, total randomness, the idea of love, world government, metabolism, and a woman who knows what it means to be a lady.

"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken."-Fydor Dostoevsky

Perhaps an end to the running mistake...

Okay, that thing about all my girlfriends being devastatingly beautiful but fatally flawed? ...maybe they're not all flawed... or at least one isn't. Of course, I'm still waiting for the other shoe ...

West coast road trip...

Kind of a spur of the moment thing, I'm heading west to San Francisco and then Portland, Oregon for the weekend, with a short stop in Vegas for some Blackjack. Every hotel in the world has WIFI access...

Something... more.

Surely, I am not the only person who feels like something is missing. It's not companionship or love, I have plenty of friends and enough admirers; it is not money, I work hard and earn well. It's not...
