I'm a pretty cool guy who loves rock and roll, art, politics, wit, style, intelligence and elegance of thought. I like coffee, lazy mornings, good company, and cat pictures. I grew up in New Jersey, so be forewarned that when we go drinking together I will say things like 'tawk' and 'cawfee' and you will find this either amusingly endearing or painfully grating.

I lived in the midwest for a number of years as well during the college years, so I am also quite proficient in the dealings of small-town life. Everyone waves to each other in their cars. Kids really just drive up and down main street drinking alcohol...or at least they did when I was younger. They're probably all on facebook instead doing their parents' prescription drugs.

After all that noise it's time to come down to Austin, where awesomeness is plentiful and the days are hot. Did you notice how we didn't really have a winter this year? I personally don't care much for the cold weather, however it can be very helpful during the holidays for nostalgic purposes.

I wouldn't consider myself a very 'loud' personality, but pretty adaptable. I can be a homebody or be active, either way. I like to workout and swim in the summertime, but can be equally happy sitting around listening to music or watching television.
I guess the point is, i'm multi-faceted, you know, kind of like all of you.

I work in association with UT, so basically I do 'business' in 'academia' and spend the majority of my time on a campus seething with impressionable young minds. I live my life with awesomeitude where applicable. I dabble in curiosity and disdain ignorance. I fight for the common man, and attempt to charge limited processing fees. I like rock and roll and ironically enough am a musician...in Austin of all places!

blah blah blah I'm so interesting and you should like me.

I also have a Ph.D in procrastination and finding loopholes in people's phrasings.

Books that make you think, movies that make you forget, shows that bring your eyes to life, music that rocks, and food that makes the world go 'round.

You'd be surprised what you can and can't do without.

Too many people are spending too much of their time thinking. I am one of those people, but i'm trying to think less. I'm thinking about thinking less.

After I told this essay box what I did to it's momma the other night, it understood that I couldn't possibly explain 'typical' and exploded itself.

Online dating occasionally feels like browsing eBay for a good deal on positive reinforcement. I do not mind casual dating, and enjoy meeting new people, however truthfully it would be nice to settle into a long-term relationship with a partner. You know, someone to go to the grocery store with, and casually window shop downtown on a Sunday afternoon while holding hands. (Awwwwww.)

You love to be beautiful, dance with the conversation rather than dictate, suffer no games of fools, consider all variables flexible, rally for the underdog, obtain nirvana, or are getting ready to break out a teeny bikini you've been working out all winter for and are finally ready to squeeze into. (Teeny bikinis rule.)

Also, in a less abstract sense, you like to go for walks around town, generally engage in activities that require company, particularly with people you are comfortable around and enjoy sharing experiences with, love good rock and roll shows, or patio politics with coffee and a smoke or two. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts and all that jazz. Let's make the world our bitch.
