About Me

I am me. I guess in some ways you get what you see. I can be brutually honest and straightforward. I am not a yes man. I go against the grain when needed. I am not afraid to do what I know needs to be done. I am a hard worker and a self-motivator. I am a good friend as long as you do not intentionally do me wrong. I am Scorpio in the true sense: Honest, Straightforward, Passionate, Sensual, and Sensitive. To my friends and family, I am very giving, understanding, and compassionate. I can be shy and quiet which is often taken wrong in social situations. I have learned to be more outgoing but it does not come naturally.

My Interests

I love to cook and bake whenever I get a chance. I also enjoy going out to eat and fine red wine. I try to travel as much as I can and I enjoy sampling the local food and wine wherever I go. I am a workaholic, so I do not allow myself a lot of down time. When I get a chance, I do enjoy reading on planes and before bed. I love going to the spa and relaxing but it is far and few between the times that I am able to do this. I love to garden and landscape wherever I live. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.

I'd like to meet:

Einstein.

Music:

I like a wide variety of music. Some of my favorites are Tchaikovsky, the Grateful Dead, Jet, Pearl Jam, the Beatles, the Dixie Chicks, Jewel, Neil Young, Dean Martin, Tori Amos, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Tracy Chapman, Eminem, etc...

Movies:

I am not big on movies. I am only compelled to see a few movies a year although I am often dragged to see more than I would desire to. I would much rather read a book.

Television:

If I had it my way, I would not have a tv. I find myself attracted to a tv when it is on in a public place, but I find that I get more done in life without one. I don't seem to miss it when it is gone either.

Books:

I love to read. My favorites are classics, historical fiction, and science journals.

Thank you for Smoking

Now those are words you won't hear out of my mouth anytime soon for sure. If anything, I am always telling my friends to stop smoking so close to me or not at all. Being asthmatic and growing up with ...
