Constantly on the pursuit of knowledge to improve the lives I come across. Soon to be pharmacist with passion for the mental health setting. Frequent user of marijuana, vegetarian, and open minded. Appreciative of nature. My goal is to help those less fortunate become advocates for their own health. Currently into trance and chillwave.

The tornado of time is slipping away - Let's grab it by the tail! I have a son who is the light of my life but I would love to have a few more lights like that. Looking for a serious relationship. No clowns, no silliness. Just love, respect, trust and . . . interest in whatever we agree on.

I was born and raised in Italy, went to college in London (UK), learned Spanish in Spain, and Portuguese in Brazil, and spend the last 10ys in San Francisco, USA. I go back to Italy every year, to visit friends and family, and try to visit at least one or two new countries every year - Dubai, Luxemburg, Singapore and Bali are on the list for 2013 and it would be much more fun to visit them with someone special. So, who am I? I like to describe myself as a funny and intelligent Italian guy with a professional job. I am an honest person, hard worker, down-to-earth, and easy to get along with - more you get to know me, more you will like me ...100% money back guaranteed ;-) I little more about me: I am adventurous – I love to travel the world I am romantic – I am Italian after all :) I am passionate – for life, food, and a few more things ;) I am very caring – I have a lot of love to give to the right girl, and I would do anything for the love of my life (unless she wants me to give up Nutella :) I am positive and have very good family values – I would like to have 15 kids …just kidding I am real and get along with real and honest people. I am 5.11 and nice built - I try to work out 3 times a week (because I eat a lot of pasta)

In late 2012 I moved here from the US for work. Knowing no Japanese when I first arrived made for an interesting experience, but I've been slowly learning and am getting much better! When I'm not working I typically am out with friends drinking around Tokyo or relaxing at home. I enjoy catching up on American TV, playing games (video and board), and studying Japanese. In nice weather I love going out to the parks and walking around Tokyo or even going to the beach in the summer. I also like photography, going to museums, going to dance clubs, seeing live music, watching new movies, and singing karaoke. I've traveled many places in Japan and really like to try out new things and see new places. In the near future I would love to take trips to Okinawa, Fukuoka, and Seoul.

Hello Ladies: A little something about myself. I am a very mature hard working professional. I worked my way up the mechanical engineering field. my passion for human growth and development encourages me. romantic things to me are , travel, dinner, movies, opening doors andmunexpected gifts just to spice things up. I enjoy good humor. I am a laid back ,easy going, affable man. a good book and good company is nice. Friends are important to me as well as family. I believe in second chances in love and life. forgiveness, honesty integrity are very important to me. forgiving self is equally as important. love, trust, commitment serve as my strong points. my feeling is this trust is the frame, commitment is the brush, my tears the paint and love is the painting. I enjoy golf, walking on the beach. Poetry is nice, smooth jazz really works with a special lady. I am comfortable in my own skin, love to laugh and have fun. humility is a plus but not because I am week but because I am strong. I consider myself established and a good catch. the lessons that life teaches us are endless. one thing that I have learned for sure. life is a journey, with a journey there is a destination. I have lessoned my focus on the destination in order to fully embrace the journey. not say I have arrived, because there are a few more hills to climb and some obstacles for me to overcome. who will be the recipient of all this wisdom, passion and desire? I know not the answer. what is for certain I know exactly who I am and what I want. if this is you look me up. TTYL

I'm a big boy and I like big fun! Karaoke? Love it! Eating? Drinking? Love it! Dancing? Movies? Love it! I like trying new things so - let's go! I like to find laughter and fun in all situations...But I am able to be serious when necessary. People find me interesting, fun loving, caring and outgoing...Heck, I'm a big moving party...But I will not date my students...So, I am here to try to find someone special for me...Are you the one? I hang out with mostly younger people, maybe my mind is young and fresh...I sure do not feel old. I really have a good life and am happy...now is the time for me to find someone to share that life with.

I've been in Japan for 5 years, moving around a lot. Now, as I look to the future, I'm looking to settle down somewhere, but where? I'm an easygoing guy living my dreams, losing weight and enjoying life as much as possible. I enjoy the outdoors,

A little about myself eh? It´s really hard to explain oneself but let´s see... Im from Sweden and came here to Japan to learn the language and experience it´s rich culture, and even maybe find the one to share life with and all of it´s moments. I love to go out and do some social stuff with friends and family, may that be to have some drinks, eating at a nice restaurant, do some karaoke, sightseeing, attending social events, I love it all. And even evenings at home with a good movie or some games. Here I´m studying and learning the japanese language but back home in Sweden I have a full-time job.

Hello! I'm originally from Wisconsin in the United States, but I have worked as an English teacher in Mie for the last 6 years. I enjoy traveling, watching movies, cooking, and hanging out. I love beer. I'm an extrovert and enjoying hanging out with people on the weekends. こんにちわ！アメリカ人だけど、6年前から三重県に英語の教師として働いてきました。趣味なら旅行したり、映画を見たり、料理したりするのが好きです。そして、ビールが大好きです。人数が多い方が好なので、週末は友達と遊びます。

I am american. I enjoy family time with my kids, but find myself needing more adult interaction. I love watching movies, trying new restaurants, sightseeing, riding motorcycles and everything else that is normal for a guy. I am shy until I get to know the other person. I already have 3 kids and would prefer to meet someone either cannot have kids or has had C-section and cannot have anymore, but my mind is open.

1.) I have a tendancy to look at things from right to left. I have no idea why, but when I scan a page full of stuff, its always right to left. 2.) I daydream a lot. Seriously a lot. Like at any given moment if I'm not obviously concentrating on something i'm probably daydreaming. 3.) I think about driving (including daydreaming, and sleep dreaming) way too much. I like driving through my hometown (Great Falls) late at night. When I drive through the backroads at 3am, I feel an odd mixture of nostalgia (because I do it a lot), calm, and adrenaline. I am also thankful that I'm not dead yet from doing this so often with my car(s) in such disrepair. 4.) I value my friends and family more and more everyday. Though this sounds a bit campy and sappy (eww); I've learned that I enjoy nothing more than to relax with friends and family. 5.) I have a lot of different ambitions, and I don't think that I have enough time left in my life to pursue half of them. 6.) I want to be a rockstar, and I think the closest I came to that was when I was DJ'ing in chicago. Music has always been a large part of my life since I was young. I soak up music like a dry sponge. 7.) I want to take a year off from everything and go to Tokyo and study judo at the Kodokon (http://www.kodokan.org) for a year. 8.) I have a love hate relationship with Japan. I always want to go there, but once I'm there for more than 2 weeks, I also feel like I need to get out. Between 2004~2007 I was in Japan 7 times (holy crap!) but my japanese still sucks. 9.) Is my number. Born 9 - 9 - 81 (which is 9*9, and 8+1=9). Graduated in 99. My last name (koo) is a homonym for 9 in korean. I have a wierd compulsion to add up numbers and letters to reach a number between 0~9. For example, my street address is 401, and apt number is 1201. I add them all up ( 4 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 = 9(YESSSS!!!)). If the number goes over 9, i add the two numbers to come up with the single one. Its totally wierd and another thing that I do without knowing why. 10.) I want to speak foreign languages well. I have a start in Japanese, and I'm interested in Chinese (mandarin AND canto) and want to learn farsi. 11.) I enjoy food (though I suppose thats pretty obvious if you look at me.). I like experiencing flavors. I like to cook it, I like to eat it, I like to smell it, and well I plan on selling it sometime. I hope to open up a restaurant within the next 5 years with a buddy (another one on the endless list of ambitions) 12.) I contradict myself on the strangest things. For example, I love fighting but I hate hurting people or getting hurt. This is probably why judo is a good fit for me. There are a lot of aspects about it that I find fascinating. The competitiveness in a fight is sharp and bold; in a way it is the opitomy of competition. Every moment of a fight is clear and slow, yet they pass so quickly in succession. I can't think when I fight, I just move and experience an intense adrenaline rush. Oddly it's the calmest my mind ever feels because I have 1 clear directive at any given time~ win, or don't die (like when someone is trying to choke me out). 13.) I hate this number. In 6th grade (i don't really like the number 6 either) everyone in the class was assigned a number. I was number 13. It was a horrible year even to the very end. At the end of the year we had a class tug of war. Each graduating class competed, there were 4. The rope had two large loops at the very end and somehow I got talked into being inside the loop. My class lost horribly and i got dragged THROUGH my classmates by the other class. What a horrible horrible year. 14.) I'm not able to be sad around other people. If something tragic happens I don't feel the sadness until I'm alone. Like when trang passed, I didn't feel it when I heard it, I didn't feel it when I said goodbye, I didn't feel it when I was at the wake. But when I left the hospital I was sad, when I left the funeral home I was sad, and for a while every time I left IRBAJ late at night I was sad. 15.) I try to be as rational and logical as I can; yet I throw that all into the wind and follow my instincts. 16.) I like to savor certain things. Like flavor (savor the flavor!), driving, and traveling. When I travel I avoid going to too many tourist traps. Maybe I'll visit one or two in a day. I like to explore in order to experience where I am and what I am doing. I listen to the ambient sounds, smell the air, meander through random streets, watch what people do and see how they interact, and examine whatever catches my eye. 17.) I feel like I should be doing more with my life. I feel like I'm a huge waste of potential. At the same time I want to relax and enjoy myself. I'm so lazy. This pisses off my brother. 18.) I miss chicago. 19.) I genuinely miss friends that I haven't talked to in a long time. I suck at keeping in touch, but it doesn't mean that I've forgotten or stopped caring about you guys. I just don't know what to say since i'm so far / out of touch with you all. I think this tends to be mutual because I never feel akward around old friends that I haven't seen in a long time. 20.) I used to be a pretty religious, since college I've have an appathetic stance to the whole thing. I wonder about religion and try to rationalize stuff. Maybe I'm in some strange twilight zone with how I regard god. I bet he's a little peeved with me. 21.) I used to try to imagine what it was like to be dead. This was one of those reoccuring daydreams when i was in 6th grade (it was that horrible). I could imagine not seeing, not smelling, not tasting, not feeling, but I couldn't wrap my mind around the concept of what it would be like to not be able to think. I gave up after a while because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't do it. 22.) I remember when I was really young (like 5?) I noticed that I REALLY LIKED GIRLS. For a while (few years?) I quietly worried that since I liked girls so much then, that I would run out of how much I could like them in the then near future. While I subscribed to this theory, I tried to stop myself from liking girls too much. This theory that my pea brain came up with has proven to be totally wrong. 23.) I get too serious about games. For example, I lost a good chunk of my college life playing counterstrike; it was a waste of perfectly good time that I could have been savoring the city of chicago with my buddies. I still play reversi + bubble breaker a few times a day. 24.) I don't like having dirty dishes. I like to clean them right after I eat. I hate leaving them in the sink. I think this is because I avoid bacteria as best as I can. I never touch anything in public bathrooms except for paper. (I grab a paper towel on my way in to avoid touching anything) I also wash my hands with soap at least 7~8 times a day. 25.) I'm AWESOME. At least I like to think so, it makes me feel more comfortable with my inadequacies. I have learned that no one, and nothing is or can be truly perfect. It is much too hard to be perfect, and the idea is too optomistic for me to believe in. I can find fault with anything. I've learned to get over this crappy fact, and enjoy (SAVOR!) things for what they are and have learned to appreciate things as awesome and not awesome. by the way, you are totally awesome for reading all of this.
