Hola,
	Well, I've finally de-lurked (sort of, I'm posting anonymously) with
an ad.  Basically, after reading for a long time and seeing few posts that I
find intriguing I'm posting my own.  Sorry for adding yet another Male ISO
Female post. :)

	I'm looking for that "right" female to strike up a relationship with,
but I would like to hear from any females with similar interest even for a
friendship.

	My ideal woman is open-minded and interested in many diverse things,
from art/music to travel to skydiving (I'm not a skydiver, but I'm tempted to
scare myself silly.  The funny thing is that I can't even ride a
rollercoaster).  Most of the women I have known who I get along best with
are punks, hippies, ravers, computer geeks, etc.  Generally, intelligent
women who are still fairly "young of mind."  The only REAL requirement for
the "right" woman is that she be able to put with my oddities.  It would
probably also help if she wasn't intimidated by computers.

	I'm a young computer professional.  I'm only 20, but already have
an extremely well paying job.  My intention is to eventually return to
school (next year or so).  Don't let this fool you.  I'm one the few hardcore
computer "geeks" I know who owns a leather jacket, moshes, dances (sort of),
and raves.  I also go for long walks, long drives, and eat strange and exotic
food.  I'm interested in anything exotic and I'm out to experience life.
Concerts are one of my ideal "experiences."  If you went to Lollapalooza then
it's a good bet that we have a lot in common.  If you didn't, then you should
have it was awesome.

	I've just started learning bass guitar.  Like anything else it is
slow at first, but I'm slugging away.  Maybe someday I'll be famous.  Yeah,
right. :) I guess it's good to have dreams.  I play primarily as a means of
expressing myself and hope to eventually become good enough to write my
own songs and lyrics.

	Most of my favorite sports tend to be intellectually oriented games:
boardgames, cardgames, etc.  I also like racquetball and soccer.  I'm not Mr.
healthy or anything, but I don't like to veg in my house too long.  Of course,
I rather dislike the sun so I prefer to go out at night, but maybe that's
because I sunburn like a white white white boy (surprise! NOT).  Thank God for
Bullfrog.

	Speaking of which, I'm not religious except for believing in my own.
However, I fully respect other peoples rights to their religions: Buddhist,
Christian, Pagan, whatever.

	My favorite music includes punk, metal, pop, techno, goth, industrial,
some classical and others.  Some example bands include Suicidal Tendencies,
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Moby, Bauhaus,
Throbbing Gristle, and lots more.  The only music I buy is what I can't hear
on the radio.  And I'm going broke buying it.  :)  So maybe it is a good thing.

	I also enjoy "cult" and sci-fi movies.  My favorite movie is still
Bladerunner, with Flatliners and Hardware tied for second.  Among others are
Repo Man and Hawk the Slayer (gack, what a bad movie, <heh>).

	I tend to like anything new and different.  At least, I'm inclined
to like it.  No one has convinced me to eat monkey/cow/<insert_animal_here>
brains yet. :)  I'm a sushi fiend.  Yep, love the stuff.  In fact, I'm
trying to convince a friend to teach me to make it.  It's a pocket book
breaking habit.  I also enjoy Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, and just about any
other food.  The stranger the better.

	I'm a caring and considerate person, but very intense.  I'm very
responsible and mature, unfortunately the majority of the crowds that I find
interesting are very young and generally not very mature.  With the exception
of a few.  I really hope to find someone who feels good about themselves and
their role in life.  I feel good in mine.  I'm here to enjoy myself and life
to its fullest.  Make your heaven on Earth, right here and right now.

	I fully believe in the Golden Rule and try to obey it to the best of
my abilities, although like anyone else I flail about every once in a while. :)
I also believe that a person should do whatever one wants as long as it doesn't
hurt another mentally or physically.  The physically part is easy enough, but
sometimes quantifying what is mental/emotional/spiritual hurt is more
difficult.  Hopefully a person can make that judgement as best they can.

	I'm not to concerned over what you look like, but extreme obesity is
generally a turn off.  When I say extreme, I mean >extreme<.  I'm a bit
overweight myself (not too much): 5'10" 195 lb.s.  Extreme anything is
generally a turn off, but don't let that stop you.  I try to never judge a
book by its cover.  I think a lot of potential gets lost by people judging with
out information.

	Well, I think this has probably become overly long.  I don't want to
bore anyone into hitting 'n'.  If you have questions about other aspects of my
life, etc. I'd be more than happy to hear from you.  Even if you just want to
go to a concert, rave, see a movie, or whatever.  BTW, I hear there is this
interesting "industrial" club in SF.  I want to go check it out soon...
Anyone?


Take Care,
