Vastaukset joihinkin kysymyksiin
Miten kuvailisit itseäsi?
Love to laugh, to learn, and to experience new things - I'm passionate in all that I do. I am athletic, enjoy a wide range of sports and also simply being outside. I try to be generous with my time and energy and am kind, affectionate and honest. I value taking risk whle also appreciate stability.
Miten kuvailisit omaa ihannekumppaniasi?
She is quick to laugh and shares her humor with all around her. She loves the home but appreciates travel and adventure. She is nurturing, both with me and others (children, hopefully), gives love and knows how to receive it too. She is passionate, takes care of herself and is active. My ideal partner should care enough about herself to look good but need not be muscular or even go to the gym every day - much more important is that she be intelligent, healthy, and caring.
Jos tietäisit maailmanlopun koittavan 30 päivässä, mitä tekisit?
Build/buy/steal a very large and fast space craft to get up and out! I would live life to the fullest, treasuring each moment, I guess. Isn't that how we're supposed to live all of our lives?
Jos sinulla olisi 10 miljoonaa dollaria säästössä, mitä tekisit sillä?
Spare $10M?!?! Give some to friends and family (buy my mother a new house), save some, spend some, then give most to charity.
Kuinka usein ja keneltä sinä kysyt neuvoa?
When I feel that it would help - I'm not too proud to learn from others nor am I under the mistaken impression that I have all the answers to everything. However, when I do, I only ask people who have expertise and carefully evaluate the information to make my own judgements.
Mitä ominaisuutta arvostat eniten oman sukupuolesi ihmisissä?
Honesty, integrity, cheerfulness. Sometimes challenge and competition.
Mitä ominaisuutta arvostat eniten vastakkaisessa sukupuolessa?
Same as similar question above for same sex people. Except for the obvious!
Mikä on elämässäsi merkittävä viimeaikojen tapahtuma ja miten se on vaikuttanut sinuun?
My divorce. I was married for 4.5 weeks. What a joke. An expensive mistake. Very happy to now be divorced though.
Mikä on tärkein neuvo jonka annat lapsillesi?
Never stop learning and growing.
Mikä on tuottanut kaikkein suurimman vaikutuksen (shokin) sinulle?
Recently? That my country was stupid enough to elect GW Bush to president (twice!!). Also one of the largest recent disappointments...
Viimeisimmät lukemasi kirjat?
The Crucible of Time by John Brunner, other science fiction stuff
Mitkä ovat tämänhetkiset tavoitteesi?
Find love and a partner for life. Also, I am shifting my career to work in energy and alternative power from science and research.
Ketä ihailet?
My father, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Elie Weisel and all the surviors, the Dali Lama!
Onko sinulla paljon ystäviä?
Many, many. I am very fortunate.
Mitä ominaisuuksia eniten inhoat omassa sukupuolessasi?
Seems like testosterone makes some guys very stupid. The machismo that leads some men to violence, to showing off, to abusive behavior, is an embarassment to the rest of us.
Mitä ominaisuuksia eniten inhoat vastakkaisen sukupuolen ihmisissä?
Vanity, preocupation with appearance and materialism, unrealistic expectations (guess many of these are complaints that can apply to men too...)
Mitä haluaisit muuttaa itsessäsi?
I have always felt too responsible for too many things, like I have always been the one who must fix problems. Life for me would be easier if I could relax, let some things slide, and to simply enjoy and be happy.
Mitkä ovat heikkoutesi?
Who, me? Assuming that I'm not perfect, well, I can be cynical at times, judgemental at others, but rarely are these apparent from the outside.
Mitkä ovat vahvuutesi?
I am forgiving, very caring, extremely generous. I make an effort to see the bright side of life. I don't drink or do drugs.
Kuinka ystäväsi kuvailevat sinua?
Someone who is fun who makes people laugh. I guess they also see me as a reliable friend who makes time to help others. But really, this question should be asked of them.
Mitkä ovat suosikkipelejäsi?
Soccer, baseball, skiing, tennis, golf - I will play almost all sport. Don't play video games or board games much.
Ketkä ovat suosikeitasi kirjoituksessa ja runoudessa?
Dante, Arturo Perez Reverte, Nabokov, Richard K. Morgan, Dawkins, William Gibson, Neal Stevenson. Poets? Pablo Neruda

Kerro meille unelmiesi kumppanista.
The details don't matter too much - she will be beautiful in her own way. Hopefully we will recognize each other when we have a chance to meet...
Missä haluat asua?
On Earth. There is beauty everywhere but I do like the oceans and rivers so the home should be close to water.
