You know that moment when you realize you're awesome? Like you catch your self makin a face in the mirror and laugh, deciding that moment was meant just for you, and it makes you feel great? I catch myself doing that all the time.

If I could climb all day, I would. When I climb, everything in the world becomes unimportant and falls away; it's just me and the wall. I find that it makes me move through the world slower, and I like that.

I love getting to know people. I don't mean learning the basics: likes, dislikes, career, past. Those are interesting, and necessary to go deeper, but the faster I can get to what motivates and inspires a person, the sooner we can be motivated and inspired together.

Another defining feature in my life is the nerd culture. I continuously amazed at what I learn, and what science is making possible. Also, memes and pictures of cats are pretty funny ;)

I recently spent a month in Central America with my dad. On our trip, I practiced sitting quietly and listening to my inner wisdom. I found it gave me the chance to not just know what I think, but WHY I think or believe something. I'm working on bringing this into my "normal" life.

Now that I'm back from the trip, I'm working on getting into graduate school for marriage and family counseling.

I also really want to get a tattoo of the chemical diagram for oxytocin and serotonin (The love and happiness hormones).

You know? I kick ass at a lot of things. I can fix just about any computer problem, I'm also pretty good at driving stick, and I make a mean stuffed pepper. Oh and I played roller hockey for 10 years, so I can skate pretty well too. And that's just the short list :P

I could list favorite books for quite some time, but the ones I've thought about recently have been Childhoods End, Looking for Alaska (Because John Green is a boss), and Quiet: The Power of Introverts.

When it comes to movies, I really digg chick flicks. Woody Allen has to be one of my favorite directors. I also really enjoy weird and quirky movies. Things you'd see at the Lyric, The Royal Tenenbaums for example.

This seems like a weird way to phrase the question. So I'm going to answer with what I'm stoked is in my life.
1) Cuddling.
2) Science fiction.
3) Ted talks.
4) Climbing.
5) Conversations at 2 AM.
6) Surprises.

I spend a lot of time think. If I could get a job I think about meaning, judgement, and life all day, I would be a happy man. One of my favorite things to think about is the depth that people can feel. If I find a really interesting story, I can think about the characters for days.

For a long time, I thought I liked going out on a Friday night. More recently, I've found that I much prefer to relax with my friends, play some games, and shoot the shit.

I wear goggles when I cut onions.

You're looking for a climbing buddy to share a beer with.
You're a nerd.
Failing those two, you're awesome in some other way.
