I am here for Friends

About Me

I consider myself a man of contradictions. Intelligence is absolutely the most important attribute I look for in others, yet I love to watch football, play video games, and spew out lame, crusty jokes people find sophomoric at best. I tend to drink and smoke too much and attempt to counter-balance that with working out regularly and watching what I eat. I grew up listening to heavy metal (Metallica, Skid Row, Kiss, Sabbath, etc.) and still love to rock, yet I also play the trumpet, am obsessed with the Blues and Jazz, and listen to almost any composer from Verdi to Shostakovich. I'm nearly always thoughtful, caring, and romantic, but also overly sensitive, worrisome, and high maintenance at times. I think I'm a pretty nice guy when I'm not playing the "extra-masculine-and-tough-lone-wolf-who-neither-wants-nor-n eeds-others" routine. I can't imagine this is the best self-promotion job around, but I figure it's best to air the laundry in the the front yard. Oh yeah, I am indeed an actor, so if that's a turnoff, so be it.
