I am geeky, funny, and shiny.
My Self-Summary
I'm a geek-chíc gamer who enjoys music, camping, traveling, film,
theater, and books. I am a connoisseur of
pop culture (unapologetically
so).
A conundrum, even to myself - a delinquent Eagle Scout who is shy
yet outgoing, loves comic books and classics, and allows
Søren
Kierkegaard and
Stephen King to sit side by side on
the same bookshelf. I work in video games, so my 9-5 is spent in
front of a monitor, entangled in wires, but I break away for the
outdoors as often as possible.
I'm a dreamer, the guy that still believes reality has the ability
to be magic. The loss of imagination is the most tragic part of
adulthood.
What I’m doing with my life
Currently in video game production. Trying to spend as much time as
possible with the amazing people around me.
The first things people usually notice about me
My perfectly-shaped bald head. It's a ritual I take great pride in,
everyone loves to rub it...I just realized how that sounds...
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I read, watch, and listen to everything, but my favorites are
anything in the "mystic realism" genre:
Big Fish,
Spirited Away,
Gabriel Garcia
Marquez,
Pushing Daisies,
Coen Brothers,
Terry
Gilliam.
When it comes to media, I love things that are amazingly good
(
West Wing,
Citizen Kane,
Paradise
Lost,
The
State) and amazingly bad (
Plan 9 From Outer Space,
Evil Dead, Aqua
Teen Hunger Force,
The Soup), nothing mediocre.

On a typical Friday night I am
Out somewhere with friends.
You should message me if
You should really send me a message if you're looking for someone
to hang out with. I like to go out to pubs and and spend time with
groups of people. I prefer house parties to clubs; the ability to
have a witty banter is important. If I go out, I want to get by in
jeans, t-shirt, and flip-flops, but sometimes I just as happy to
sit around the couch and have a beer.
You should be able to tolerate my occasional nerd ramblings and
willing to go out in the desert and climb dunes (the sand in your
bum is half the fun!).
