Date men from United States / California / Topanga, 53 year old

Date single man from California, United States. My name is Ric. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Let's get straight to the point. I am the identical twin brother of George Clooney. Recently I was abducted by aliens and sent back to Earth as a middle-aged, short Hispanic man. But underneath this relatively nondescript exterior I possess just as much charm, talent, and do-gooderness (is that a word?) as my brother George, who incidentally now does not return my calls anymore (the a**hole).
Actually I like the guy. He was great in "O Brother Where Art Thou?" I like the Coen Brothers brand of twisted humor- I even have a bumper sticker that says, "The Dude Abides." My boss, the stately, well-coifed dean of my college, hails from the Midwest and likes to call me "Dude." He thinks he's being cool but really he is exposing the fact that he doesn't quite know what to make of a Mexican American from South Central LA who has a Ph.D in world music. (Do they even have Mexicans in Wisconsin?) I feel like telling him, to quote Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, "I know the Dude, the Dude is a friend of mine, I am not the Dude." I also want him to know that the only other person who ever calls me "Dude" is the pothead in front of Topanga General Store who asks me for a light every time I see him. Now there's a dude.
Speaking of movies, my two favorites are "Casablanca" and "The Wizard of Oz." Come to think of it, aren't those two films really the same film? Now, stay with me for a moment. In both movies the whole point is to make it to Kansas, right? Both films have great songs. Here, let's do a quodlibet: "You must remember this, somewhere over the rainbow, a kiss is still a kiss, way up high, she not only merely dead, she really most sincerely dead!" Well, maybe that doesn't work so well. But, both films have good-looking people in them, right? Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Bert Lahr, ...the Munchkins, ......the Flying Monkeys. Oh! Did those monkeys scare the living bejesus out of you too when you were little? Well, maybe I have carried the similarities between the films a little too far now. I do think "Casablanca" is one of the most romantic films ever, especially that part where Rick (hey-aren't all Rics romantic?) helps the Bulgarian guy win at roulette so that his wife doesn't have to sleep with Claude Rains (who thinks up that crap?).
Speaking of Casablanca I have been to Africa three times and will go again in July. Now, if we date and get serious you can go on similar exotic adventures with me since I have summers off and get to travel to places where there is cool music like Spain, Ireland, Peru, Indonesia, and Mexico. If you don't have summers off I will make you quit your job every June. Or we can create some kind of excuse to get you out of LA in the summer and then we can go to Casablanca. I'll even dress up like Claude Rains and we can pretend that your Bulgarian husband lost at roulette. ;)

Meet someone special from California, United States. I love my work, creating sound effects for movies and video games. My favorite task is recording animals sounds to make creature voices.
I coached my son's soccer team for eight years and now I coach other people's children as a volunteer. I love to see the kids run and laugh.
I am a passionate person and I love learning new things. I recently took up West African drumming. It feels so primal and the dancing is so exciting.
I write musical plays for children based on Russian fairy tales like The Firebird. I sing and play the guitar.
An intelligent and gentle woman will win me over. I appreciate a woman that I can laugh and talk with. We can go hiking or biking together or exploring a new town.
