I’ve been in the Boston area for about three years so I’m still exploring New England. I’m originally from a small city in Northwestern Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Superior. I love nature and wildlife. I really miss that connection if it goes too long without getting back.

Since I’ve moved to Boston I’ve fallen out of playing my sports a bit but am looking to get back in. Golf, hockey, softball, running, weightlifting, kayaking, hiking, swimming, roller blading, cycling, skiing are all things I enjoy and wish I was doing more of right now. I’m a casual sports fan and enjoy watching in person but not so much on TV. I love watching good movies and quality TV series though.

My favorite ten movies (at this exact moment) are: High Fidelity, Spirited Away, Fight Club, The Sword In The Stone, Return of The Living Dead, The Godfather, Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, The Secret of Nimh, Howl’s Moving Castle.
TV series that I love(d): The Wire, Futurama, The Simpsons, Last Exile, The Sopranos, The X-Files, Cowboy Bebop
Music: Spin Magazine is a good barometer of what I’m probably listening to right now. Scrolling through my ipod at this instant (complete albums only) is AC Newman, Air, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Band of Horses, Bat For Lashes, The Beta Band, BRMC, Bon Savants, Bonde Do Role, Bright Eyes, Broken Social Scene, Brother Ali, Bruce Springstein, Camera Obscura, Crystal Method,… ahh you get the idea. Indie pop, alternative rock, some hip hop, trip hop and dance. I think I need to put some motown on.

I’m fairly well read. This is something I wish I did more of. Quality reading, and less of the online fragmented style. Books I love include Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Dostoevsky (more of an essay, but beautiful), Eye of The World by Robert Jordan, Stumbling Into Happiness by Daniel Gilbert, Lord of The Rings, Freakonomics by by Levitt and Dubner, Macbeth, The Sacred Balance by David Suzuki, The World According to Garp by John Irving, A Deepness In The Sky by Verner Vinge. I can carry on a conversation regarding the transcendentalists and existentialists as well.

Online I look at boingboing.net, woot. No myspace page, although I love writing privately and to friends. My drawers and pockets are littered with little composition books filled with my thoughts, maps and occasional drawings. One of my favorite things is writing in small notebooks.

I work as a research scientist in Cambridge. I enjoy it and feel I’m set on my career path. I am also working towards a MA in Biotech, one course at a time through night classes at Harvard. My schedule can be busy but isn’t full.

There is a lot this small profile doesn’t convey about myself. Even though I’ve been a relationship for most of my adult life, I’m pretty inexperienced at dating. I don’t have a gameplan or anything, I’m just looking to meet and make new friends and “romantic partners” in a fun and low pressure way.  If you are interested let me know…
