I think it's about time for last call here. At least for a little while.

If you think having a "November Rain" themed wedding sounds like the best idea for such an occasion...

I just want to have fun in this half of my life. Doesn't mean I am a man-child or irresponsible. Quite the opposite actually. Work hard, play hard as cliche as that sounds. Suck the most out of what this life has to offer. Adventures. Road trips. Scavenger Hunts. Bike races. An occasional baseball game where we really are keeping score of who's up on beers.

I'll cut to the chase because everyone skips to the back page of the book. Funny, sarcastic, dry, witty (with an H), imaginative, creative, warm on winter day like blanket. Yes, I did not use "a"s in the last sentence for the Russian effect.
Likes outdoorsy type stuff, cooking, fermentation/distillation appreciation, going to shows, usually slumming it bar wise, occasionally and ironically up in the club. Working on my next career as a bad guy actor. Kidding with this one, but have found out there are sooo many ways to say the line "KILL HIM."

Pretty honest to a fault. I won't exaggerate or lie on here. There is really no need to. To do so would be silly. I will admit I take bad pictures. And these aren't the best side I could be showing. As someone said "You look mean in all of them."

I was in Chicago a bit ago for a presentation in front of a thousand people. Before I came out, the crowd was instructed to stand up and bust out their best dance moves for 10 seconds by the person before me (my job is kind of weird sometimes). I always heard with public speaking it's best to lead off with something light, ya know, like the fascists used to do. And I come out and apologize to the audience because I was busting out my sweet Magic Mike routine back stage and they all missed it. Everyone laughs. I talk a little. Miss a paragraph. Speed through speech like I won an award for technical excellence at the Oscars and grab a cocktail waiting for me back stage.

For some reason I was inspired to write this instead of the usual hubbabaloo about how laid back I am and blah blah blah because, not only is it a true story, but I think with a little critical thinking, a few deductions can be made. But I'll throw some hints...Serious about his job, so much so he is trusted to travel to other places to talk about it. Has a dry, smart, sarcastic sense of humor. Always like a good science joke. And has some pretty sweet dance moves for a white boy.

I will respect your opinions and thoughts if you promise to do the same.
Listen, don't just hear.
I believe in science. See above statement.
I stream NPR on KCRW on my way to work. It makes Atlanta traffic sound not so bad.

I'll ramble on about me later and make sure to include all of the things people like to hear.

Trying to enjoy every minute of every day. General Badassery. I have an amazing group of friends who I learn the weirdest stuff from every day. Redditor. Gun slinger. Thinking about my general existence on earth, how to improve it and humanity while trying to decrease my carbon footprint.

Riding "fucking hipster" fixed gear bikes. Taking the beltline here and there mainly fr bar to bar.

Planning for a Zombie Apocalypse. Really. Well, not zombies particularly, but preparedness isn't such a bad thing. I think it comes from growing up with Hurricanes in Florida. Can never have too many candles, flashlights or jugs of water.

I'll totally go to the Braves home opener, but my group also wears Hockey masks when Jason Heyward comes up to bat. The ultimate goal is to get on the Jumbotron as "Jason's Jasons" I'm there for the social aspects, moral support and over priced beer. Let's face it, the food at Turner Field is subpar for a high school cafeteria. Yes, that statement will also indicate that I like and appreciate really good food. Taking Saturdays off must be done a good bit in advance due to the nature of my job and is a luxury! Don't think I will be making it to any FSU home games this year. There is always Thanksgiving, but I will be in sunny LA.

Spearheading the Heaven Seventeen revival (if you get that, then I have a ring for you)
Finding humor in the small things.
Deductive reasoning.
Great listener.
Winning over your mom.
Fixing or at least rigging almost anything.
Can cook pretty damn well.
And not to sound all pervy, but massages. Yeah, I said it.

Green Eyes or my indiscriminate origins. I keep the rippling abs tucked away under clothes and a healthy layer of good times.

The Dirt by Mötley Crüe ( I don't care who you are, this is an amazing read. Truth is stranger than fiction. You will never look at a breakfast burrito the same again)
Confederacy of Dunces
A People's history of the United States
Post-A urban survival
Neil Strauss, David Sedaris, Oscar Wilde, Irvine Welsh...and all of the other important things that were ever required on a reading list or whatever your lit nerd friend told you to read because it was good.

Music...That can go on and on...I worked at a couple of really amazing record stores in Florida. Think High Fidelity, but a little bigger? But yeah...I like all that old sad bastard crap... Neutral Milk Hotel, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cure, The Killers, Interpol, Iron and Wine, Band of Horses, Jawbreaker, Springsteen, Ryan Adams, Hank Sr., Cash, The Clash, Slayer, Old Metallica, fun hip hop, old Motown soul. Yeah, kinda random. The Songza Ap has now changed the game.

As far as TV and the like... Mad Men, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Walking Dead, COSMOS, Breaking Bad. History Channel.

Energy drinks: I think they help with my undiagnosed ADD
iPhone: hundreds of uses even when the battery goes dead. Go on, think of a few.
Laughing every day: essential!
Great music
Fact based evidence and logic.
Concealed Carry

What a good story some stories would make.
Why I am not writing more.
And how I would make it in a post collapse society.

Out with friends. Doing exactly what, I have no idea. Or staying in because I know Saturday night is just more fun.

I used to go to "science" super Saturday's as a kid. Yep. Cool kid here.
And I may enjoy the occasional Fast and Furious movie from time to time. Sometimes you just need some crap action adventure with fast cars.

You got smarts. You like good music and you know what is good music. You know the best seat at a restaurant is at the bar and not a table. You think going to a show, go karting or shooting off a couple rounds makes for a great date.
