If I were posting a personal ad...

Hello there!

I would describe myself as quirky, but not in a creepy/weird way. I tend to think of myself as pretty normal.

I like to do things outdoors and in, just depends on mood or weather. I like movies, but I prefer to be more social. I like to play most sports, I was recently in an outdoor volleyball league (as a first timer), played softball for the last two and a half summers, and am an avid basketball player (both league and pick-up ball). I like to run road races when I get a chance (I do the Butte to Butte here in Eugene every summer) , and will generally do anything I'm invited to do. I love to hike, and made several hikes of varying difficulty this last summer.

I'm not super big on video games, but I do have occasion to play (I get a real kick out of Guitar Hero and Rock Band). Not a car guy, but I do appreciate certain aspects of cars, sleek subtle
lines, power, performance, etc. I love to see car things live (I've volunteered at a couple of 'rally' style car races in the last 3 years).

I'm from the northwest, so I do fancy a good craft brew, and have been labeled as a snob. I've grown past the years of consuming just to consume (that is not to say that a night of tasting doesn't get extended...lol). I really like the complexity of the things I consume: chocolate, beer, coffee, sushi, wine...the list goes on.

I'm think I'm average looking (in a good way), as my attached picture should attest to. The stats? Before I forget, I'll drop that in. I'm 32, 6'1", 200lbs and have an average build. This is the most recent pic I could find that I like. It was taken this August in SFO, I was at a Giants game with my best bud.




I've been hesitant to date recently, and one reason is that I fear I'll be viewed as having no aspirations or maybe even motivation. In the last few months basically I turned my life upside-down. I quit a respectable job (pay-wise) I had in Beaverton and moved back here to
Eugene (Eugene being my hometown for the previous 23 years). Now I'm working a job that doesn't really look like much at this point. In Beaverton I was working far too much, not taking good care of myself, and not seeing my family enough. I decided to bounce it all to come back to Eugene and start over.

Whether its fortunate or unfortunate, I'm not motivated by money, I'd rather be happy. I've always thought though, that if someone wasn't interested in me because I wasn't interested in money, then so be it. I do get needing financial stability, don't get me wrong, I'm just walking a much thinner line than some folks are comfortable with.
