Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm awesome! Why, you ask? I'm unique, observative, clever, intelligent, creative... blah blah blah. That's enough narcissism for my taste. =P

On top of what you'll read below, here are a few things that define me in a nutshell. I'm a city boy, but I love to escape the city to go camping, hiking, etc. I love electronics, gaming, home theater, computing, cell phones, you name it. I'm a drummer, and although it's been years and years since I've picked up a pair of sticks for anything but Rock Band, that makes me a rarity; a white boy with rhythm. I love music, and although I was practically raised on it, I'm not much of a fan of country. That said, I do enjoy classical, jazz, opera, etc. I sketch, write poetry, photograph, enjoy plays and musicals, and all-around have an artistic side. In a bit of a juxtaposition, I love watching UFC/Pride fights, the NFL, the NBA and just about every Fox TV show ever made.

I'm on this site looking for a few things. First, and most importantly, this site is pretty fun. There is a remarkable cross-section of society on here, and it's pretty intriguing to poke through the profiles, forums, questions, etc. to see who's out there. Pay a little attention next time you're cruising profiles on here. Four out of every five people are either already, or studying to become, an engineer, teacher, chemist, programmer, nurse, or some other cream-of-the-crop career choice. People eloquently portray their points of view on the forums, for the most part, which if you've ever been to another online forum is an impressive feat. Secondly, I'm simply looking for a girl who I can be happy with. Easy, right? =P

The most important things in my life are my friends and family without question. I was raised by a very capable single mother. I attribute just about everything that I have to her and my grandparents, but beyond them my family is very small. Alternatively, my group of friends is quite numerous, and it's with them that I have all of my fun. I love each and every one of them, and really consider them all family. Depending on the day you'll find any number of us playing basketball, raquetball, volleyball, football, swimming,bowling, hitting the bars, singing kareoke, clubbing, raving (as of late), hitting up concerts, moshing, and plenty of other things. I'll try pretty much anything once, and have a fairly eclectic taste with regards to entertainment.

Past all of that, I'm definately a nerd, and am persuing a degree in computer systems engineering, and I work on computers for a living. I'm one of those people who is really quiet and reserved when I first meet someone, but I open up after a bit. I'm a people-watcher... sue me. :P And, I tend to fall into the sarcastic category, but I do everything I can to keep from being cruel with it...maybe.

I'm probably equally as introverted as I am extroverted. Like I said I'm shy at first, but once I get comfortable you'd have a hard time believing that I was ever the shy or quiet guy. My mind never shuts off or slows down. I probably overthink just about everything I ever encounter, but I have fun doing it. That's one of the reasons I don't do drugs. I'm told that E, weed and a few others make your brain work in overdrive, and I'm afraid that if that happens I will explode. I truly love observing people, without judging them, but not in any creepy man-behind-the-curtains kind of way. I love all of the differences that people have and think that in any group, in any situation, that diversity makes you stronger.

*Note* My screen name on here happens to be my name on AIM. So, if you want to talk and happen to catch me during one of the rare occurances that I'm logged on, feel free to shoot a message my way.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Like I mentioned above, I'm going to ASU for a CSE degree. I'm working full time, coincidentally, fixing computers. Otherwise, I'm just having as much fun as I can! I'm also going to the gym to trim down, since I'm far more plump than suits my liking.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Fixing computers, I suppose. Other than that, you'd have to ask people who know me. I'm also really good at some types of video games, as would be expected of any computer nerd.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My height, since I'm relatively tall I suppose. And my eyes, or so I'm told.

I'm also told that from afar I look pretty intimidating, which is, I suppose, both alright and pretty crappy at the same time. I think it's partly due to this that I've never been in a fight, and usually when I'm out with my female friends the sleezeball dudes stay away from them. So, I'm pretty thankful for that. However, people who I don't want to scare away, well, they tend to get scared away. It's ironic, because I probably have one of the least intimidating personalities you'll ever find.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Anything and everything, to a fault sometimes. I guess I'm mostly considering people, and what drives them. Usually it's fairly particular, I suppose. But I can bounce from thinking about my favorite song to lava lamps to a friend I haven't seen in a few weeks in mere seconds!

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

With friends or working. We usually play volleyball on friday nights. If you fancy yourself a player and want to play with some newbie-intermediate players, let me know!

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I'll tell you ANYTHING, just ask. That is, of course, I have the answer to your question. And before you ask, no, I don't know the meaning of life. :P

You should message me if Propose an edit

I'll admit that my shyness extends to the online world as well, so I'm usually very slow in the message sending process. So, if you're interested thus far?
