Logical Thinkers--Nice Contrast to the Real World

About Me

Well, defining oneself by mere words can be an arduous task and risks not encompassing the totality of a person. As they say, actions speak louder than words, but let me attempt to share a few words about who I am: I am intellectual and introspective; personal growth is important to me. I enjoy intellectual conversation, but it needs to be balanced with light hearted banter and comical relief. I'm not a "serious" person all the time, in fact, I can be wild and uninhibited at times and I definitely enjoy having fun. I'm driven and am someone who doesn't live life by regrets. Life is too short and can be taken away at any time. I believe in strong, close friendships. Quality not quantity. I look for genuineness and a good character. Those qualities matter most to me. Often, I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. I am confident and secure in my sexuality.

My Interests

I love music, all types. Fall is my favorite season – love the colors. I love men who smell good – doesn’t mean cologne necessarily. I love dogs. I love my family and am very close to them. I love getting caught in the rain, ice cream, and Christmas. I love being around good friends. I love the first snowfall (does Austin get snow?) I believe in the spirit and goodness of others. I believe that we are the masters of our own destinies – we have choices. I believe in love...honesty...and commitment.

I'd like to meet:

I look for honesty, maturity, and respect in every relationship in my life, be it friendship or otherwise. My family is vitally important to me, and I'd like to find that certain someone with whom I am able to build something that truly compliments the good aspects of that family life I've been lucky enough to have.I could always use more friends who understand what respect and honor mean. Friends who care about others and aren't afraid to be honest and consistent are also a virtue.I'm not partial to strict rules or specific places as far as style or going out is concerned respectively. Fun is where you make it.

Books:

Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" still ranks as my Numero Uno after reading history books and technical journals and Pulitzers and everything in between. I also like the "The Color Purple" and "The Alchemist."

Heroes:

As Willie says, "my heroes have always been cowboys." Although that's not completely true, I do respect and honor people with adventurous spirits, those with a knack for surviving outdoors, and those with the ability to whip up something for dinner over an open flame.
