"They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather
and then they stand in the rain and say, 'Shit, it's raining!' "

I am single and dating - still looking for "the one". I've always been attracted to women who are maybe a little gawky, tall and thin; to me that is beautiful. But really it's all about the two C's isn't it? Chemistry and compatibility. I would love to meet a woman who is smart as a whip, knows how to have a good time and laugh, has a quiet self-confidence, and is not done exploring the world and all that life has to offer.

As a promoter and DJ in SF, I have an active nightlife. I get invited to a lot of events, concerts, movies, parties, plus my nightclub events and guest DJ gigs. But, I'm just as happy to stay home with some take-out, a pint of Häagen-Dazs, and a couple movies or a good book. I love to travel and I'm fascinated with other cultures.

I’ll buy you flowers, open doors for you, remember your birthday and our anniversary, say, “bless you” when you sneeze, put the toilet seat down, and hold your hand when the plane takes off.

Most of all, I want to meet someone who is honest- and you'll get the same from me. If that sounds like you (and you're single and available) or someone you know, please contact me.

Top-5 Movies that make me cry (but only when I'm alone 'cause I am a man):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dead Poets Society-
at the end when Ethan Hawke stands up on his desk and says "Oh Captain, my Captain"

Out of Africa-
toward the end when Karen tries to put dirt on Denys' casket, but her hand shakes and she can't.

Romeo and Juliet (Zeffirelli version)-
"For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Four Weddings and a Funeral-
the funeral scene when the W. H. Auden poem is read.

Braveheart-
"...and dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! "

Top-5 Pet Peeves:
-------------------------
1. At the end of a movie on TV-
after you've suffered through two hours of commercials just so you can find out what that song was or who played that part, they squish the credits off to the side and roll them twice-as-fast so you can't possibly read them or hear the soundtrack, just to make room for a fucking promo you've already seen 15 fucking times.
2. People who swear in public.
3. People who spit in public.
4. People who yawn without covering their mouth.
5. People who wear too much cologne / perfume.
Why does every personal hygiene product have to be scented? When someone walks by, you shouldn't be able to smell them. It's like they're crop dusting.
