I just moved back to the Bay after living in Santa Monica for six years. I quit my fancy corporate job to run my own marketing/software company full-time which is going very well.
I enjoy all things excellent: music and live shows, reading, Lowbrow/Juxtapose art, fine dining, clubs/cocktails/dancing, and visiting countries off the beaten path, microbrews, running, swimming, riding, golf, tennis, 49ers, Warriors, A's, daytrading, fashion and decor... and indulge in all of the above as often as possible.
I know life is short and I value my youth. After living perhaps an overly-lavish life in LA, I am living a simpler life now full of routine, working 9-5 building my company, trying to find a house to buy, and exercising every day as I train for a triathlon with friends. But obviously revolving my life solely around work and exercise is a little boring and I need something/someone to spice it up and more... I can take my life any direction I want right now... Just looking for a partner in crime!
I work hard and play hard and try to avoid down time in front of the television save for a few main stream shows that we all watch. I feel bad for childless couples that stay home every night watching TV and have "movie night" five times a week, but also can't identify with those that go out drinking together and get wasted just as often. I prefer a busier schedule of healthy social interactions with friends, weeknights in the city "just because", cooking together, board games (Settlers of Catan), local community arts, museum/science/art exhibits, wine tastings, dancing/bottle service, reading at my favorite coffee shops and even (heavin-forbid) a night of quality conversation, and the list goes on! I naturally have a lot of energy, no Redbull necessary! Also any opportunity to people watch (however rude?) is always appreciated. I spend most of my free time trying to make people laugh.
