Mountaineering rocket geek with a taste for the unconventional. I'm not always the suavest, but I'm usually the first to point it out for a good laugh.
Quite frankly, I'm not a fan of long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners. I'd much rather go for a motorcycle ride to napa and sit through a lightning storm eating hummus in a tent.
There aren't many people that I dislike (except bad drivers), and I particularly admire people who can tell a good story.
Existence is so unfathomably huge and we are so ridiculously finite that there is no good reason why any of us should take ourselves so seriously.

Really though, just chill.

I'm enjoying it very much, thank you.

Aerospace Engineer for a big corporate war monger, with free time spent doing anything that excites me usually involving a speed rush or getting dirty.

Honestly though, I'm just waiting for Nitro Circus to give me a job on the weekends, and Top Gear to accept my application as the new Stig.

Authors: Rilke, Loren Eisley, Howard Zinn, Allan Watts, Frank Herbert, & my dad.

Music: Pretty much anything but whiny country music. Atmosphere, Pendulum, Flux Pavilion, Amos Lee, Ray Lamontagne, Gavin Degraw, Andy Hunter, Jay-Z, Radiohead, Ghinzu...just put the tunes on, they're all good.

Shows: Nitro Circus, Family Guy, How I Met Your Mother, Top Gear...and the Bachelor Pad if the company I'm forced to watch it with is cute enough.

Food: Mexican and corn dogs. Mmmmmm

The smell of rain, good tunes, thumbs, Google search, patience, and the weekends.

badass inventions I'll never make, and interesting people I'll never meet. And how is it that "reality television" is so unrealistic?

giggling with anticipation for Saturday. I also tend to mooch off of other people's epic Friday night adventures.

I had a rat tail until 8th grade...yeah, I had a lot of friends. In space camp.

You're 5'7" with blue (mildly devious) eyes, subtle dimples (yeah, those ones), a tattoo of blooming foliage, and the ability to drive like a competent human being.

You're fun enough to spend more than five minutes with and you don't take yourself so seriously that my off handed comment about your weird shirt won't make you cry when no one is looking.
I'm legitimately looking for some decent people to hang out with. BBQs, Camping, Beerfests, and motorcycle rides are all made better with good company.

You have nothing better to do. That's good enough too.
