I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm not too good at these things. I don't want to tell people my life story, but on the other hand I hate it when people just write something like "I like cheese," and leave it at that. So here it is, or here I am.I'm in to lots of do-it yourself projects. I'm not very good at too many actually but I have made my own wine, soap, furniture, and done a few home improvements successfully. I'm learning to build houses by volunteering at habitat for humanity. I hope to build my own house someday. I really like working with habitat since I sit behind a desk all day. Sitting behind a desk all day makes hanging drywall seem exiting :)I have a love-hate relationship with politics. I'm an independent, but sometimes I lean kind of libertarian. I'm not really happy with both parties, and am not really a liberal or conservitive. I just go by the issue. If you want to ask me about politics, ask me about an issue.Religious wise, I guess I'm a plain old Deist except that I actually obay most of the stuff that Catholics should but don't. My mom always tells me I'd make a great Catholic (my folks are Catholic.)I like writing. I'm trying to finish up a book now but the editing and grammer are killing me. I used to be in a band, and still write music here and there, but I keep to myself a lot, so I don't like driving to and from practice, to and from shows. Er... I don't know. I'm getting too old or something.I really want to adopt kids some day. Many people have a problem with the idea of adopting children. Well, they will always sasy it's a great idea, but a lot of people never really want to do it themsleves. The way I look at it is there are 6 billion people in the world, & 100 million orphans. I don't really feel the need to create more children & more people. I admit I'd probably almost feel guilty creating a new life. I don't have a problem with adoption because I think as long as you raise a child from a baby on, it's your child. I don't really care about biological stuff. Foreign and inter-racial adoption isn't an issue for me either.My personality is kind of hard to explain. I stay at home a lot. I keep a small group of friends and family close by. I think I'm an alpha-male trapped inside an ackward guys body. Hmmm... I'll have to think about this more...

My Interests

writing, music, tennis, poltics, movies, history, trying to learn languages- Spanish, Esperanto, & do it yourself projects, non-profit stuff

I'd like to meet:

Mainly girls, I'll be honest. Maybe a guy if he's into music and lives in my general area, and he isn't wanting to "hook up" with me:) But at my age (25) I'm not really dating, and I'm not married, and don't have any kids, so you know... what other reason would I be on something like this :) I think at my age you date with more long term goals in mind. Not like in highschool where my goal was getting to 2nd base. So yes, I'm looking for someone who shares common intrests with me, likes kids, and is looking for the same type of thing I am. That's about it (well, actually I'll probably revise this later :)

Music:

the cure, art blakey, lamb, delerium, johnny cash & rosanna cash, some aria's, nimbus, wolfsheim, 69 eyes, actually, anything but r&b, reggie, hippie folk music, and most country.

Movies:

Spirited Away, City of Lost Children, Garden State, Vampire Hunter D, The Shinning, The American Pie Trillogy, The Vanishing(dutch version), Soldier of Orange, Oldboy(and I'm a sucker for the Friday the 13th Series), and many more. I've got a top 100 list...

Television:

Connon O'brien, The Daily Show & Colbert, Cold case files, Law & Order, South Park, Adult Swim, Lost The discovery channel is good too.

Books:

CIA world factbook, Lies my Teacher Told me in School, Why Capitalism Succeedes in the West and Fails Everywhere Else, The United States of Europe

Heroes:

I like certain things about certain people, but I don't idolize anyway. Charles Barkley said it best "I am not a role model." If I had to pick, I'd just say something like my mom.... something generic like that :)
