My Self-Summary

I'm a pretty easy going guy. My job takes a lot of my time, but I try to find time every day to spend with my friends. I'm looking for someone to hang out with after work and on weekends. Ideally we would go walking, play games, and find new and interesting stuff to do (I'd love to try something musical or artistic).

What I’m doing with my life

I got me a degree from NCSU, and now I'm working at a video game company as a programmer. When I'm not working, I like to exercise. I also like to play fake drums a lot.

So yeah, my life is pretty much going as planned. Living, working, playing, sleeping. Just looking for someone to enjoy my time with.

I’m really good at

Well, I'm good at programming. When I really get into it, it can be very rewarding.

Now, I'm REALLY good at Rock Band. I mostly do drums, but I like to sing and guitar too. I really enjoy getting 4 folks together and rocking out.

I think I do pretty well as a problem solver. That can mean logic problems, or real life stuff my friends are going through. Either way it's a matter of breaking down the situation and getting to the simplest form of the problem and solving that.

I'm also good at joking. Not knock-knock jokes, mind you, but wordplay and riffing.

The first things people usually notice about me

My hair (brown and curly) or my height (6'3'').

Sometimes I wish my hair were a little less insane. When I let it get too long it's like wearing a thick, tangled, hot rug on my head.

I do like my height. Makes it much easier to find people in a crowd.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: A Brief History of Time, Madrox, Hamlet (that isn't really a book, is it?)

Movies: Crank, Memento, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Die Hard, Donnie Darko, Broken Flowers, The Station Agent, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Star Wars, Alien, most of the Star Treks

Music: Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds, Jonathan Coulton, Cake, Everclear, older Eminem, Foo Fighters

Food: sushi, stromboli, bbq

Games: Rock Band, Battlestar Galactica the board game, Magic, DnD

TV: The Daily Show, Lost, Arrested Development, The Office (UK and US), Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Star Trek

The six things I could never do without

I will always need the internet. I'm pretty sure any time I may remember from before I used the internet everyday is merely the result of false memories implanted by flash adds.

My friends and family. I like to do something with my friends and/or family every day. I figure all that other time I'm spending working, sleeping, and doing chores is to give myself the opportunity spend times with the folks I care about.

That's only two.. I don't know, that's about it. I guess I could use the 4 things all humans need to round out the list: oxygen, food, water, and Home and Garden Magazine.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

So much stuff..

My friends and family, the universe, numbers, music, programming, what's going to happen on Lost next season, what I would do in various fictional disasters, how best to fight each animal.

On a typical Friday night I am

Playing Magic at card shop, seeing a movie, or getting food with friends. If I go home on a Friday night and spend it alone, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Socializing has become pretty important to me lately. It used to be that I liked being alone to play my video games and watch my TV as much as possible, but now, not so much. I don't like big parties, but I do like enjoying time with my good friends.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I used to weigh a lot. I'm in the middle of losing weight, still have a ways to go. I like to exercise whenever I can find the time, and I've been eating much better. I basically decided that instead of trying to "diet" to lose the weight, I'd just start living better. It's really more for me and my health than how I look. That said, I've lost 40 lbs in the last 6 months, and while the progress is slow I think it's real and lasting.

You should message me if

you've gotten this far and want to know more. I'm not going to give a list of what I like and don't like, because in the end we can only predict how we will feel, right? If you think we might get along, send me a message.
