Currently I'm reading The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama (great book) and Dress Your Family in Cordouroy & Denim by David Sedaris; A few of the books I've read: Bias by Bernard Goldberg; Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon; Me Talk Pretty One Day by Sedaris; And books on philosophy, religion, spirituality, essays, etc. Perhaps I'll read The Art of War next to help balance out all of that Art of Happiness stuff. I read a lot of design mags and I love Toy Fare magazine.

I'm a graphic designer with a heart of gold, or is it stone...? I can never tell any more. In the words of Springfield's Gay Steel Workers, "I work hard and I play hard!" I actually don't play quite as hard as I used to, but the work ethic hasn't changed much since I was 16. I'm a pretty laid back guy who surrounds himself with good, honest and interesting people. I grew up on a farm so I have that certain country boy sensibility about me that knows exactly what someone is talking about when they say they had to help "pull a calf". I've done it... it ain't pretty. I'm into art and design and go to museums whenever I get the chance.

I love music, especially 80s, and have a major affinity for film. Anything from high brow, arthouse stuff to low brow, Adam Sandler schtick. It's all good in my book.
I'm pretty optimisitic and can be a "go-getter" when I wanna be. Some of my favorite things to do are going for a run in my neighborhood, eating warm bread pudding with that special someone (I promise that isn't a metaphor for anything), laughing at something really funny, collecting toys, and driving with my windows down while watching people on the street inadvertantly walk to the beat of whatever it is I'm listening to. "Thriller" or "Billy Jean" are excellent songs for this.
I love science fiction, robots, dinosaurs and coffee. If you can relate, I'd probably like to hear from you.

"You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist."
- Isaac Asimov

Cool and good-looking dorks. Do they exist, you ask? Oh, they do. They do.

Someone who speaks Klingon... But seriously, a bilingual person is nice even though I don't speak anything but good 'ol American. French is so far my favorite foreign language to hear a guy speak. I don't speak "Skank" so if you do then please don't bother.

People who are interested in grabbing a drink at the local dive and people who are interested in doing other things than grabbing a drink at the local dive. I achieved the "fiery ritual of Carousel" this year and the bar scene is getting a tad passe. Folks who like to do stuff outside. People who want to go camping with me.

On the romantic side... hmmmm... Screw romance. I'm looking for someone to love and someone who'll love me. Not someone who'll buy me a box of candy on Feb 14th because the calendar says they should, but buy me a box of candy on July 26th, just because. I think I may have just contradicted my views on romance, but I'm sure th
