About Me

I'm single and very spontaneous. I love to travel and it's not uncommon for me to just pack and go. No reservations or agenda only a destination in mind. I'm not independently wealthy but the next best thing... I work for an airline. I love to socialize and I have a great circle of friends here in Chicago and St. Louis. I'm pretty much the anti-homebody. Staying in and watching the NBC lineup will be great when I'm old and they need to send me to the 'Home'... but for now it's seek, play, learn and retain.Simplicity is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Minimize the stress and exercise as often as possible. I have my vices. I like to throw back a couple of beers from time to time... I'm Irish. I don't smoke but I don't mind if others do. Don't do drugs but if we should have a weekend in Amsterdam, well never mind.I'm pretty open minded. I respect other peoples beliefs, vaules and ideas but I expect the same in return. I always try to see the other side of things even if your take on something is still bullshit.Familiarity brings comfort, but avoiding the new and different minimizes your growth.

My Interests

snow skiing, running, football, ice hockey, baseball (sorry only Cardinals), camping, people watching at the airport, traveling and much, much more but I'll let you find out.

I'd like to meet:

I think we can all answer this pretty much the same way. If you have any sort of minimal social skills and are generally interesting then I want to meet you. I just ask that you are not too high & mighty, overally needy nor shallow. I believe most people have some sort of redeeming qualities it's just that some have more than others. Yeah, I guess I'm trying to meet more of the others but then again isn't everybody.
