Hockey, good books and movies. I'm an avid reader, and music is my passion. I enjoy good satire and sarcasm, people with wicked senses of humor, non politically correct people who tend to march to the beat of a different drummer and don't give a damn about being politically correct.
Looking to make some new friends, interested in all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds and interests, people who have spent a lot of time in Asia, basically anyone and everyone welcome.You must have a sense of humor and love to laugh, and must be open to new ideas without trying to shove your own down my throat. I like interacting with people who enjoy their lives and are open about sharing moments from their lives the same way that I am, warts and all.

My daughter because I love her more than my own life and because of the person that she is. My fiancee for all the adversity she has faced up to now in her life and the fact that an incredibly beautiful woman like her could love someone like me in spite of the fact that I am butt-ugly, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, who showed us all that we all have the capability to do heroic things like he did in July 1863. Pete Townshend and Hunter S. Thompson, who wrote things that touched my soul. My dad, who is the epitome of honor and the best example I have ever known of what it means to be a man.
