I am funny, neurotic, and kind.
My Self-Summary
I am 28 years old and live in Boston, but moved here from
California, where I lived for 18 years. I was born in a tiny city
in Wyoming, but moved to California when I was 5. Then moved here
when I was 23 or so. Had been dating a girl in California for 4
years, then she got a job here in Boston, so I moved here with her.
Things didn't work out, but I loved the city so much that I decided
to stick around regardless.
I never know what to write in these things, but I am very laid back
and just try to be an open and honest guy in whatever I do! I am
6'2", dark brown hair, brown eyes, size 13 shoes, an eyebrow
piercing (just removed it actually), and that is all the pointless
physical details I can think of. I am half scottish and half irish,
so clearly I am ok holding my liquor. And now that I've stated that
I will end up sick on my next trip to the bar.
In my free time I like playing
video games,
chatting,
reading,
working out,
going for walks,
going out to
dinner and
drinks. I am somewhat of a geek and like
comic books
and
video
games as I mentioned. But I am not too overboard with any of
it. I wear my geek well. I like to think of myself as laid-back,
and don't like drama. However, upon introspection and talking to my
friends, they assured me that I am anything but laid back. I guess
I just want to be that way, but am too neurotic to actually achieve
it. Regardless, I still hate unnecessary drama.
I graduated from California State: Fresno in 2005 with my degree in
Criminology. Right now I do like my job, as stressful as it is, but
can see a change in my future.
I have a hard time with meeting new people. It takes me a while to
get to know others and let my guard down enough to have fun. So I
wish i had closer friends, but it just seems to take a while.
I am not really looking for anything serious, even though its been
a couple years since our break-up. It isn't that I am not over it
or something, I just don't want a relationship. Hmm, anything else,
feel free to ask.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a supervising counselor for The Home for Little Wanderers at a
group home, residential program for kids that have been
abused/neglected. In general I work day-to-day and while I have
plans for things I want in the future, I try to just do what I want
in the moment. Because, and not to be morbid, but you never know
how much time you have left, so why spend time doing things that
make you unhappy.
I’m really good at
Listening, being a good friend, hanging out with, being a drinking
buddy, video games, being quiet, over-thinking things, having
patience with people but not circumstances, drinking beer, and
being thoughtful.
The first things people usually notice about me
My height, and my smile (if I am smiling, which I am told I don't
do enough of) my dark brown eyes.

My own room
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What life will be like when I am older and if I will be happy, what
other people are doing at various times during the day, over
thinking everything.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working. I have an interesting schedule, I work wed-sat evenings,
so typically I work till 11, then come home and crash from my 10
hour shift with abusive children (yes abusIVE children).
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am a really open person, so you can ask whatever and I will
probably answer. I have very little filter, it makes for good
conversation.
You should message me if
You are bored and want to talk, you want to hang out and have a
good time in Boston, you are a laid-back, no drama type person.
