Date a soulmate from Topanga, United States. I am a creative speller and often play in the dirt. Nothing scares me except june bugs and dentists. My reading roams from the New Yorker to number theory. My favorite words (today) are "malodorous" and "comeuppance" , though I fancy any word that contains all the letters r, m, l & n (like Merlin or normal). I'd rather drink wine than eat dinner but I'd rather play fiddle than drink wine. My favorite movie, author, mathematician, rock and food are Dr. Strangelove, Robert Sheckley, Tom Lehrer, rutilated quartz and cheeseburgers, respectively.
I like to cook, read and write, often while driving or in the bathtub. My singing scares most people. I'm a big fan of West Virginia modal tunes, butterscotch, and bags, the latter reaching almost fetish proportions. Despite documented photos of me in a tux, my usual garb is shorts, aloha shirts and flip-flops, even in winter. Given a choice between Paris and Rome, I'll take Victoria, Seychelles. I grow guacamole in my garden: avocados, onions, peppers, tomatoes and cilantro.
I grew up in Kansas and Indiana, speak fluent Spanglish, and believe that they should never have outlawed dwarf tossing. With only duct tape, safety pins, corn starch and back issues of Rolling Stone, I can build a hovercraft that travels faster than light (and with a hot tub in back). High on my list of evil people are Jimmy Swaggart, Michelle Bachmann, Bill O, and that pesky roadrunner.
My political views tend to the extreme, both left and right. They are naive and simplistic, so I stay away from politics. On the other hand, I like ducks.
I have a large house that I built with these two hands. I often travel to out of the way places. My most recent trip (2011) was to Namibia where a buddy and I rented a pickup truck and wandered around, often camping.
Velveeta and Twinkies are under rated. "Fine" wines, and "luxury" cruises, over rated. Silliness is serious business and big problems usually aren't. Hand in hand with my lover, I'll take anticuchos in dinky South American villages over pretentious Parisian restaurants anytime. Let me take you into the hills with a blanket and some grapes, and I'll tell you tales of lust, treachery, heroism, broken hearts and true love. Need that foot rubbed, a back massaged or a kiss for just your being you? I'm you man.
Resume-ish items: BS Astrophysics, PhD Astronomy, author of twelve absolutely fascinating books, 160 journal papers, 300 scientific meeting presentations. I am an official "Frisbee Immortal" and won the romance category in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest a few years back. Don't be too impressed: I also flunked 3rd grade, failed HS algebra and have published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results.
As for you my future friend and ultimate romance, you are brainy and beautiful (I repeat brainy and beautiful), capable and capricious, energetic and erotic, dependable and devoted, thoughtful and thoroughly thankful for your good life. You are not allergic to cats, have a current passport, are fearless in the kitchen, know the difference between "imminent", "eminent" and "immanent", can catch me off guard and make me laugh, don't freak at the sight of a mouse, can run down anything on the internet, and find pleasure in little things that most people overlook.
I want to get married. Let's delve into each other for the grandest adventure of all.
Meet a man from Topanga, United States. I could best be described as an existentialist. Though I take life as it comes, there is part of me that wants to become proactive, particularly when it comes to finding a partner with whom to share what remains of life.
