About Me

My name is Jon Rayl, and if you are reading this, there's a good chance you want to know something about me. I have a habit of walking up behind people and unintentionally scaring the hell out of them. Im quiet and soft spoken, until you get me going, and then I dont shut up. I have an amazing ability to say exactly the wrong thing at exatly the wrong time (which is probably the main reason I dont talk as much as the normal person), but I am slowly learning the art of tact, and trying to come out of my shell more often. I am emotional and not ashamed to admit it, and Im a pessimist with hope for the future. I really dislike being single and am actually pretty easy to get along with.

My Interests

Feeling comfortable in my surroundings, feeling stimulated without feeling dumb, conversations which are self-propegating, Looney Toons and similar old cartoons, discovering cool new music, complaining about just about anything and everything, staying out until way too late, staying in until way too late, cuddling, reading, spending far too much time fucking around on my computer, going for walks, bowling, talking about feelings, making new friends, reconnecting with old friends, and anything that lights up blue.

I'd like to meet:

Cool, down to earth, trustworthy people. There are few places in this city where I can go and not know at least a few people, but there are a few rare gems out there that I like to keep near and dear. People who mean what they say, and stay true to their word. Who understand values and respect boundaries.Above all, I want to meet people that can bring a quiet guy like me out of my shell and engage me in meaningful and exciting conversation.

Music:

Hard rock, Heavy metal, and just plain rock and roll. Plain and simple, I appreciate talent, skill, and songwriting. Just exactly what I listen to depends on my mood, but generally im looking for something heavy that still has melody.

Movies:

Im into pretty much anything. The only thing I get pretty particular about is comedy, as half of the shit that passes for comedy these day I just dont find funny.

Television:

I really dont watch much tv these days, but when I do its either adult swim or the history channel. Really dig old cartoons in the style of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.

Books:

Fiction. Into quite a bit beyond that. Favorites would include Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Dan Brown, and Terry Gilliam
