My friends unanimously agree that in event of a zombie apocalypse, I'm their number one choice for whom they would want to survive with.

- I shave with a straight razor
- I have a wood shop
- I build wooden kayaks (for fun)
- I build my furniture (for fun)
- I enjoy chopping firewood
- I want to build my own a-frame cabin
- I enjoy dressing well (suits are like lingerie for men, except we can wear it in public)
- I tie my own fly fishing flies
- I would be happy putting on my backpack and heading out for a few days
- I'm a laser engineer
- I don't do drama
- I fix things
- I'm not spineless
- I'm beta as fuck..wait
- I want to punch a honey badger in the face
- I sometimes dream of packing up and joining the Peace Corps or Engineers Without Borders

I'm independent, and I thrive on being self sufficient. I take great pleasure in figuring out how things work. My dream is to build my own house/cabin and wood shop in a secluded area.

Lastly, I want my life to be an adventure. I'm writing a tale where I'm the main character, and I'm waiting for a kick-ass co-protagonist to show up.

Short term, I'm generally thinking about my next run on the hike and bike trail. That, or my next opportunity to get my kayak wet on town lake, as well as what pirate flair I might acquire (both for kayaking, as well as for the Drafthouse pirate party).

My non-superhero superpower is generally being able to fall asleep anywhere within about 2 minutes.

I'm really good at cooking.

Attention to detail when it counts (its important to know your relative position to the moon when evading pedi-cab drivers).

Favorite books include: Name of the Wind, Wise Man's Fear, Rant, Dune, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Wheel of Time. I tend to prefer fiction, classic sci-fi, or fantasy, however I have been expanding my reading list.

Movies: Everything is Illuminated, 300, LOTR, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Amelie, Wall-E, A Very Long Engagement.

Shows: Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Archer, Venture Bros.

Music: Florence and the Machines, 30 Seconds to Mars, Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, Metric.

Food: Anything

- Reading: Great way to stimulate the imagination. One of my favorite weekend activities is riding my bicycle down to Zilker, reading a book for 2 minutes, then falling asleep.

- Woodworking: Nothing like wrapping my manly hands around some strong wood..wait, what?

- The outdoors: Can't have outdoor sex indoors. Duh.

- Friends: Friends are important.

- Laughter: Laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

- Pets: Today I learned cats show you their butt holes as a way of showing that they are comfortable with you. I prefer dogs, but cats are assholes and make me laugh.

That I was born too late to explore the world, but too early to explore the universe.

That I should post self mirror bathroom shots on here, because apparently it's what all the guys do! /sarcasm

Let it be said that I follow through.

Every Friday I make a conscious effort to take a deep breath and find comfort in the fact that it is the longest moment before I have to work again.

After that, I am either (hopefully) hanging out with friends and relaxing while chatting, laughing, and drinking, or going for a run followed by a home cooked meal.

I miss being in love.


I never eat the last inch of a banana - that shit's gross you weirdo.

If you clean out the lint from the dryer every time you put in a new load.

If you don't cruise in the left lane (you know who you are).
