After various self-summaries that I never really liked, I decided to go another route. I think this 2 minute "video-profile" made on a rainy sunday will give you a much better idea of me, my dry (and occasionally dirty) sense of humor, and of course most importantly what I actually look like (curse you MySpace angle!), than any bio could do.

If it makes you laugh (esp. my favorite part near the end - Luda!), write me!

Obviously touring with my Bieber cover band.

My job, for which I am going to fight the DC power and not make that the first thing I talk about. Not that saying I'm a consultant is any more illuminating than saying I'm a bhrahsgjdkjasfkh.

Dance: By far my favorite hobby. I teach some classes in DC, and also recently joined a salsa performance group. I've traveled a lot, and seen a lot of random cultural things and performances, and for me, there's really nothing more beautiful than two people partner dancing together. Don't get me wrong, club bump&grind has its place, but as far as beautiful/sexy/sensual goes, it's got nothing on an intense tango, a slow bachata, a spicy salsa, or insert-next-adjective-next-dance-I-learn (anyone want to learn blues or west coast swing with me?)

Cooking: My homemade guac beat up your honor student.

Apparently that I am a tour guide (I'm not). I get asked for directions everywhere.

TV Shows: The Wire, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Firefly

Reading: Where the Red Fern Grows (dog books get me), The Giver, Mountains Beyond Mountains, Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, Calvin and Hobbes

Movies: Gladiator, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride, Up

Music: tango music (classic and modern), classic rock, mo-town (so sad I missed the Temptations when they were in town!), big band, basically anything that makes me want to dance

Oxygen (aren't I original taking this literally!!??)

Sarcastic people
Empathetic people
Someone to listen to
Someone to joke with
A place to dance
My FAFAFAF (My F**king Awesome Friends and Family...and Fajitas)

Why the world is how it is. Why people are as they are. How can we improve things. Wondering if am I earning my time here.

Also, we have sesame seeds, but what the heck is a sesame?

Last couple Fridays: jazz bar, salsa dance, milonga (tango), contra dance, Disneyland, house party, watching a movie with some friends, cooking a big meal for a bunch of friends then playing Rock Band.

I just know that in an alternate universe I am an instructor on Dancing With the Stars and won the 2012 competition with my partner Snooki.

You would be a good partner for going on the Amazing Race!
