THE WORLD ACCORDING TO SKIP...

I am single and dating - still looking for "the one".
I've always been attracted to women who are maybe a
little gawky, tall and thin; to me that is beautiful.
But really it's all about the two C's isn't it? Chemistry
and compatibility. I would love to meet a woman who
is smart as a whip, knows how to have a good time and
laugh, has a quiet self-confidence, and is not done
exploring the world and all that life has to offer.

I believe in the power of music, PDA's, friendship, the
joy of food (a fine restaurant or a taco stand,
cooking and sharing), drink (red wine, a Cosmo, or a
Margarita) and paying attention to the little details
that make life great. "I believe in the sweet spot,
opening your presents Christmas morning rather than
Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft,
wet kisses that last three days."

As a promoter and DJ in SF, I have an active nightlife.
I get invited to a lot of events, concerts, movies,
and parties. But, I'm just as happy to stay home with
some take-out, a pint of Häagen-Dazs, and a couple
movies or a good book. I love to travel and I'm
fascinated with other cultures.

I’ll buy you flowers, open doors for you, remember your
birthday and our anniversary, say, “bless you” when
you sneeze, put the toilet seat down, and hold your hand
when the plane takes off.

Most of all, I want to meet someone who is honest-
and you'll get the same from me. If that sounds like
you (and you're single and available) or someone you
know, please contact me.

Top-5 Movies that make me cry (but only
when I'm alone because I am a man):
------------------------------------
Dead Poets Society-
at the end when Ethan Hawke stands up on his desk
and says "Oh Captain, my Captain"

Out of Africa-
toward the end when Karen tries to put dirt on Denys'
casket, but her hand shakes and she can't and she walks away.

Romeo and Juliet (Zeffirelli version)-
"For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Four Weddings and a Funeral-
the funeral scene when the W. H. Auden poem is read.

Braveheart-
"...and dying in your beds, many years from now, would you
be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that,
for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell
our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! "

---------------------------------
Amy Adams

Top-5 Pet Peeves:
---------------------------------
1. At the end of a movie on TV-
after you've suffered through two hours of commercials just
so you can find out what that song was or who played
that part, they squish the credits off to the side and roll
them twice-as-fast so you can't possibly read them or hear
the soundtrack, just to make room for a fucking promo
you've already seen 15 fucking times.
2. People who swear in public.
3. People who spit in public.
4. People who yawn without covering their mouth.
5. People who wear too much cologne / perfume.
Why does every personal hygiene product have to be scented?
When someone walks by, you shouldn't be able to smell them.
It's like they're crop dusting.

"Beyond this point there be dragons."
