I am stoic, genuine, and almost a [[yeti]]....
My Self-Summary
Say hi, find out. I like to think I'm a tall, big, with a large
heart, with
a good sense of humor and
on the shy
side...
I enjoy both quiet time and more social outgoing moments too...I
also love using ellipses improperly...
What I’m doing with my life
Living! Whether going out with friends, going back to
Cleveland to visit
family, or finding more unique ways to spend my time, I'm just
having the best time I can when I can...
Lately it's trivia night, poker night, movie night, and since
spring's here the weekend barbecue and fun fun fun!
I’m really good at
Being a great guy. Being a good friend. Teaching what
math and
physics and
computer ideas I can impart...I
probably should go back into teaching, but the current computer
research job pays more bills...though I'm glad I just found a new
office...perhaps paying off the mortgage would allow going back
into teaching.
The first things people usually notice about me
My
Long Hair. A
stoic demeanor. But
that smile does shine through...

radio show back in the day...

D) FOODS
From almost anything with unique flavor to anything
american...Trying to eat healthier...and I'm not too fond of
seafood except sushi from time to time and I avoid mushrooms and
asparagus...no allergies etc..just avoid...
The six things I could never do without
I used to think: Oxygen, water, food, heat, friends, and of course
family.
Now I think
love
should be in there somewhere too...probably built into friends and
family...
Though the older I get, the more I crave to learn new and
interesting things...this week it's ,last week I forget...
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Take a
random
number generator. Find a way to correlate it's output to
Wikipedia. Then do that
5-6 more times. I'm thinking of about 4 of them...probably
On a typical Friday night I am
There really is
nothing typical about any given
Friday! Though lately it's hosting movie night for friends and
coworkers. Sometimes poker night. Sometimes game night. Sometimes
go grab a coffee. What are you in the mood for?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
that I like to gamble...
poker,
craps, etc...I save a little from time to
time...I usually put aside $20 to $50 a month...though I haven't
been to a casino in months...lately it's just poker...but fun...and
on a winning streak too...sweet
