[Found an amazing woman that's keeping me on my toes and a smile on my face so the next time I'm on here it'll be to switch to "seeing someone". Good luck everyone!]

Hmm, let us see... I'm going to borrow from someone I met once and say that I'm smarter than the large majority of people but average amongst that minority. I'm one of those people that can excel at anything I decide to apply myself to and I'm in a good spot in life as a result. I'm an intelligent person that can step into most situations and figure out what's going on and the mechanics driving everything.

I do things as they pop into my head and I keep the advance planning to a minimum.

I'm generally a laid-back down to earth guy that's not into clubs and that whole scene. There's a bit of a geek in me. I've been around technology, computers, and a host of things related to them my whole life and they continue to keep my interest. I constantly try to improve myself, whether it's getting into better shape, refining myself as a person, or enhancing the overall environment where I work.

I am quite random and I have a generally offbeat sense of humor. Topics of conversation amongst my friends and I can vary from cartoons to arguing over a recent discovery in the science/tech fields.

I'm currently working in operations at a bank right now. I help manage a team that streamlines either small repetitive tasks by automating them or looking at a process through an entire division and working out the kinks. Kinda fell into it after college and I'm making decent money in my eyes and very good money in most other people's eyes. Itching to get out of my cloth covered box though. There's more to life than this and hopefully some of my side projects will pick up :-)

I would actually love to open a gaming cafe. A place where you can get fed, caffeinated, and spend a few hours playing PC or console games with friends.

Seeing the big picture and how things work together. I can do detail as well, but I tend to avoid it unless I have to. Or unless it doesn't make sense to me, in which case I'll spend hours pouring over the details until the elusive 'why' becomes clear.

I'm pretty damn good with anything requiring logic or tech related. I'm also rather good at writing, even of the more provocative kind. Actually I'm really good at that kind much more so than regular writing. :-X Hmm perhaps I can make a career out of that...

My red goatee? Most people think I'm Irish, when I'm actually 100% Italian. Or so I have been told...

Books:
Oh boy... I read a lot. Raymond Feist, George RR Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time), David Eddings, Hideyuki Kikuchi (Vampire Hunter D), Miller, Cook, etc etc. Mainly fantasy with a bit of science and technology books in there like Elegant Universe, Warped Passages, etc. Maybe a mystery or two as well.

Movies:
Action, sci-fi, abstract, dark comedies, comedies, etc. Some of my favorites include Equilibrium, A Knight's Tale, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Matrix (1st one), Gladiator, Grandma's Boy, Spaceballs, Ghostbusters, 2 new Batman movies, Iron Man, Happy Gilmore, LotR, Gladiator, etc.

Anime:
Cowboy Bebop, Noein, Helsing, Black Lagoon, Big O, Trinity Blood, Trigun, Blue, Elfen Leid, Gigantic Formula, Tokko, etc

Music:
Dope, Black Label Society, Depeche Mode, Rob Zombie, BLS, Metallica, Offspring, Tool, Manson, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, AC/DC, movie and anime soundtracks (ie 300, Big O), etc

Food:
Italian is a safe bet, but I do like Indian, Thai, Japanese, etc. I'll give almost anything a shot, except that crazy stuff the guy on TV eats.

Gaming: Mainly a 360 person
Bioshock, Fallout 3 (it continues to own my face, damn DLC), Fable 2, Halo 3, Mercs 2, Zelda on the Wii as well as Metroid, etc etc

-Some type of internet enabled device
-Family and friends
-Good books
-Coffee (caffeine in general really)
-Snowboarding - I only have four seasons of boarding under my belt, but damn is it addictive. Finally doing bowls, diamonds, and some doubles. The west coast totally blows away anything we have over here. Perhaps I'll find myself out there once I cut the corporate world tethers.

Why people do the things they do. I find it ridiculously fascinating. I've pretty much come down to the idea that people do what they want and there's really no good reason for doing or not doing anything unless you personally want to do it. Now the kicker here is, why the hell do you want to do it? No no I mean really why?

Yeah.... anything I feel like. I'm very much a person who follows what they feel like doing at that moment. So whether it's a flight to Vegas or suddenly deciding at 3am I wish to snowboard in Vermont.. it can all happen. I can last a few days without sleep and I rarely sleep more than 4 hours a night so I'm all over the place. Then again, sometimes I crash out and I'm out cold by 9pm. ::shrug::

After I say Child's Play as a kid I beat up My Buddy and buried him under stuff in my closet. I can still hear him crying to be released and saying, "Why? Why?". Disturbing isn't it?

You have an odd and or dark sense of humor, or at the very least don't mind someone that does. If you can deal with someone who does what they want, when they want, and plans very little.

If you like snowboarding that's a major plus as well since I spend a decent number of weekends during the winter doing just that. :-)

Overall just looking for someone with somewhat similar interests and a willingness to branch out a bit and have fun together.
