Who am I? In a grand sense, just a guy who wants to find his way to leave the world a better place than he found it, hopefully with someone great by his side.

In a somewhat less "what are we here for" sense, I love a variety of music, and enjoy going out to concerts, as well as the occasional club. I know guys aren't supposed to, but I do love to dance and just have stupid fun sometimes. My favorite genres tend to be more of the punk/metal/metalcore/screamo/etc. varieties. I play guitar albeit I haven't been able to practice much in quite awhile, so I'm probably terrible at it right now. I'm a big movie buff, and love pretty much any kind, especially something I've never heard of.

As my name indicates, I am somewhat geeky, although I don't really think I could be labeled as a geek. I play video games, know about computers, watch documentaries, read the occasional comic, and could probably have a long conversation about zombies, but that's about as far as it goes. I also do Krav Maga, the Israeli self-defense system. It's a great way to get into shape, learn to kick some major ass at the same time, and is immensely fun.

I'm a pretty sarcastic guy, and tend to be the type of funny based on acerbic one-liner. I love it when a single sentence can make someone laugh for minutes. I'm a pretty smart dude, but I have a habit of not acting like it at all, but when appropriate, I can bust it out.

I'm from Detroit, MI originally, and have been here in Memphis for about a year. I'm truly a Yankee at heart, and feel somewhat out of place here. I've even had people say they can't understand my accent.

Right now I'm working in medical and dental instruments at UTHSC, but I'd really like to go into the military or law enforcement, and am working feverishly to prepare for that.

being funny, or at least that's what my friends and family say, although to be honest, sometimes I just don't see it.

is probably that I'm a really tall and mean looking dude, when really, I'm only slightly mean on the outside, with a chewy nice center filling. I'm still tall though.

My top 5 (in no particular order), all time, desert islands are as follows:

Books: jPod by Douglas Coupland, Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, Microserfs by Douglas Coupland, and Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. An honorable mention goes to I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.

Movies: Boondock Saints, Green Street Hooligans, Equilibrium, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Black Hawk Down. High Fidelity is an honorable mention.

Musical genres: Metal-y things as indicated above, indie rock, hip-hop, blues, and nerdcore.

Bands/Musical Artists: Throwdown, The Decemberists, MC Lars, Killswitch Engage, and Death Cab for Cutie. Breaking Benjamin also should be on here, but I can't figure out who to displace.

As for food, I'm pretty picky.

1. My best friends
2. Music
3. iPhone/whatever becomes the next leap in technology along that line
4. Movies
5. Wit
6. Books. Well, books or sex. One of the two. Okay, if I'm being truly honest, it's probably sex, but books are a somewhat close-ish second.

how to achieve my goals, and what exactly to do with my life. Not just career wise, but in a larger sense, wondering about marriage or things of that nature.

out at a show, or a low-key bar if I'm not too wiped from work. Or possibly just chilling at home.

That zombie conversation above? I've had it.

you managed to read my profile and weren't turned off or offended by anything in it.
