Hi, I'm Eric, moved here from SoCal (Southern California) about 2 years ago and much to my surprise I like it here.I am a geek and proud of it...but not to worry I don't live in the basement with my mom and yes I have seen a woman naked...I think...I have a daughter who is 8, sadly she lives with her mom, but she is my whole world, she comes first and foremost. Currently writing a science fiction novel to which I am also during the art work for. Soon as i get it finished up I hope to get it published and start on the other books floating around in my noggin. I am a huge fan of Sci-fi and fantasy and love to go to Comic Con and Renaissance fairs. I am also an adrenaline junkie, love sky diving, rappelling and the occasional bungee jump. I love going to concerts, art museums and enjoy the out doors. I'm a damned good cook and enjoy showing off my culinary skills to anyone who will humor me. Been around the world, some of which with the military and the rest just out of curiosity. Been to 37 states and 21 countries...I figure you only get one life and you should make the best of what you got while you can. I don't want a booty call, so if that's what you were hoping for you just wasted your time reading up to this point. I'm looking for a kindred spirit one who can appreciate my geeky side, if she isn't one herself, or has an artsy/rocker (huge fan of Metal) side. Looking for the total package....intelligence, humor and a good heart. No drama queens. drug addicts or women desperately searching for a man to rescue her. She must be honest,independent, kind hearted and unwilling to take crap from anyone. I don't want to settle, seems I have done that my whole life and its time for a change.
