Date a man from Canoga Park, United States. I grew up most of my life in the LA area (Cerritos), moved out to Japan (Kobe and Hiroshima) for six years to teach English, and now have returned to Cali for work.
I enjoy an active lifestyle, going to the gym 4-5 times a week. I've also been hitting the hiking trails for hikes and trail running as well. I love how running clears my mind and makes me feel healthy.
I get pleasure from satisfying others' appetites by cooking for them. My specialty is takoyaki (you get brownie points if you know what that is), but I like trying new recipes as well. Someone who is down to learn some new recipes with me, or at least be the guinea pig would be perfect. More brownie points to a girl who can bake some good cookies.
Other things I'm looking for in a girl: A great smile goes a long way with me. Someone who is fun and easy to travel with. I love to travel and see new places, whether it's a day trip or for a whole weekend. Also, I am just as comfortable spending a night in with a cooked meal and Netflix, as I am going out, so someone who could enjoy the same would be perfect.
Meet men and women from Canoga Park, United States. I'm an LA transplant, I grew up in the beautiful but cold Midwest. I moved out here for my job and the great weather after college. I quickly fell in love with this city and have no plans to move back. I love to laugh, joke around and enjoy myself regardless of what I am doing. I have made it to some of European countries on my travel list and am looking forward to visiting more places. I am so ready to see more of the world. Anyone want to join me on The Amazing Race?
I'm a huge fan of the theater (Broadway), love science fiction and action/comedy movies, and spend time outdoors every weekend while making repairs on my house or playing basketball. I also play work league soccer and softball. I enoy other outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, etc. Both culture and pop culture interest me. I am as comfortable at a musical, comedy club, or orchestral performance or gossiping about the latest celebrity gossip.
My days are spent working as an engineer protecting Los Angeles from the natural disasters that continue to occur here. It's great work that allows me to spend time both in the office and outside. I am spiritual, raised with Christian beliefs, with a degree and goals in life. I am family oriented and value quality over quantity. My ancestry is a great mix and I'm very proud of the heritage that make me unique. As such I am open to all races. I am interested in finding a quality companion. If that's you, drop me an email.
Date people from Canoga Park, United States. Bettie Page meets Betty Crocker with a twist.
PLEASE READ THE CHECKLIST BEFORE WRITING. (At least skim it.)
I like to work with my hands.:) I paint, sew my own costumes, craft, make jewelry, and work in a metal fabrication shop (we also do powder coating and sandblasting). I design flowers for special events/weddings (just for friends now), and work/play at the Renaissance Faire every year. Headed to my 6th Burning Man in 5 weeks!! 2012. :)
I have very cool parents. We still have family dinner every Monday night. They are still together after 42 years, and still having fun. (this would be my ultimate life goal.) And btw Mom taught me to cook.
If you were to describe me in one word, it would be "artist" (the other title would be sci-fi geek). I might have a slight tendency to say quotes from movies. Star Wars, Big Trouble in Little China, Anchorman, Tommy Boy, The Birdcage, Real Genius, MST3K, TRON and more. (yes, I loved the the new TRON!!!)
Music is very important to me, my favorite band is Depeche Mode, but I like a lot of everything with a good beat. Lately it's been all about ELECTRO. :) I also like industrial, 80's, punk, ELECTRO HOUSE, progressive house, techno, hip hop, some dubstep if I'm in the mood, old metal, classical, rock n' roll, anything electronic, electro pop, alt rock, etc. I can send you an extensive list if you really wanna know the rest.
I can have a good time whatever I'm doing, especially with the right company. I find it very easy to make friends, and have a select few that mean the world to me.
I don't play dating games, so neither should you. If you like someone then just call them. Relationships are all about honesty and compromise. Just BE DIRECT and say WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED, and HOW TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
The sparks gotta fly between us, or what's the point? I believe that the right person is out there, and I'm not interested in settling for less than GREAT! (for me anyway) I hold very true to my values, skewed though they may be, and so should you.
IF YOU'RE PICS DON'T TURN ME ON, THEN I'M SORRY, BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED. (If you only have one picture of you from the side in sunglasses, this doesn't help me.)
The checklist:
Let's just say I know what I like, so don't take it personally if you're not him. My soul mate... hmmm. In a nutshell: Age 32-39, WHITE, TALL (AT LEAST 5'10"), NOT BALD (sorry, it's an attraction thing), NO kids, (I want kids, just not today) athletic, fun, sexy, attractive, sci-fi geek, who's GREAT IN BED!, and NOT ALLERGIC TO CATS! I try to be honest and direct, so there ya go. NERDS and geeks welcome.
Please, no long distance for me. I would ideally like to be able to attack you within 20 minutes.
You might say I'm picky, or just that I know what I like, but trust me, I'll make it worth your while. As long as we can laugh at ourselves and take life as it comes. Just don't expect your life to find you, you've gotta go find your life.
Good luck, and may the force be with you!
movies I love: Star Wars (duh), Star Trek, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Indiana Jones (originals), Dune, Tron, Labyrinth, Grandma's Boy, Blades of Glory, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, The Crow, NBC, LOTR, Stardust, Willow, Aliens, and pretty much any vampire movie. Black Swan was amazing. Big Trouble in Little China might be my favorite movie of all time. John Carter was awesome!
Bands I love in no real order cause they all rock!!! : Depeche Mode, Beastie Boys, Oingo Boingo, Siouxsie and the Banshees, NIN, The Sounds, Sisters of Mercy, Concrete Blonde, Garbage, Junkie XL, old KMFDM, RAMMSTEIN, old Metallica, Frank Sinatra, the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, NOFX, Bad Religion, Jack Johnson, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Madonna, Sublime, The Aquabats, Weezer (blue and green albums), The Cramps, The Cure, Chemical Brothers, Mindless Self Indulgence, Pet Shop Boys, Swedish House Mafia, AVICII, Skinny Puppy, Weird Al', Deadmau5, Daft Punk (Homework), Ming and Ping,
