I am cunning, debonair, and abstract.
My Self-Summary
Updated: 10/6/09
I've lived in
Los
Angeles for the last 8 years or so. I have a small apartment
all to myself. It serves as a place to sleep, and that it does
well. To be honest, that's about all it does well.
I used to commute to work on my
long board. There was a tragic
accident on the way to work one morning, and by accident I mean I
ate it hard. Now I just walk to work. Sometimes I even take the
bus.
I probably spend too much time on computers between work and home.
It happens when you work IT.
I consider myself a liberal thinker. I like new ideas and different
ways of looking at problems.
I need a new photo. Maybe Halloween.
I now use the following process to determine how my day is
going:
1) Was there recently a zombie virus outbreak? If yes then it's a
bad day, else continue.
2) Are there large space ships in the sky or aliens forcing me to
take them to my leader? If yes then it's a bad day, else
continue.
3) It's a good day.
See, it could always be worse.
What I’m doing with my life
"Check check."
I do advanced
audiovisual and
multimedia services for
the conference center and other venues at USC. Some days it can be
fun, some days just drag on; it just depends on the types of events
we have booked that day.
The rest I'm still trying to figure out.
I’m really good at
I'm good with
computers and electronics. I've been told I'm
really good at carving
pumpkins, but see for yourself in my
photos.
The first things people usually notice about me
9 times out of 10, I'm wearing a jacket.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
The last books I read were from the
Ender's Game series -- pretty
damn good.
Fight
Club is a favorite too. Just about anything by
Crichton is worth reading.
I don't even know where to start with movies. I've seen so many
that I liked so I'll hit the ones I've seen recently. WALL-E, Fight
Club, The Fountain, Star Wars (IV-VI)... Labyrinth?
Nothing beats the
80's for music, but I enjoy most. A lot of
what I prefer is entirely dependent on what I'm doing and my mood.
Sting is ALWAYS
acceptable.
I remember when 1 in 10 people said they actually liked
sushi. I was that 1. Now
everyone "loves" sushi. I still like it, regardless of how trendy
it's become to say so. All is good as long as you can admit that
cake > pie. I'm not saying pie is bad, just that cake is
vastly superior. If you disagree there may be a brawl.
I think favorite quotes should be in here, so I'm adding it:
"There is no right and wrong. There's only fun and
boring."
"All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in
rain."
"If you build a better mouse trap, the terrorists will build a
better mouse."
"We live at a very interesting time, namely the only time in
which we can empirically verify that we live in a very interesting
time."
Editors
The six things I could never do without
1)
Sleep -- I can get grumpy after about 36 hours without
sleep
2)
The Internet -- Duh!
3)
Hulu -- because the cable company is... lacking
4)
Puzzles / games -- keeps the brain young
5)
My imagination -- like brass in my pocket?
6)
The number 13 -- and the letter C; "C" is for cookie and
that's good enough for me!

Rules attempting to limit what I can do -- after all, I
can't break a rule if it doesn't exist
I spend a lot of time thinking about
... reality. What is really real? What does
"real" mean? Do
we physically exist or are we all part of a
shared consciousness
creating the
Universe? Does it matter? There's so much
debate about what happens after we die, nobody bothers to ask what
we are before we're born. If the
Earth isn’t flat, and
centrifugal force doesn’t exist, why do we blindly cling to
antiquated models of physics that are poorly taped together with so
many exceptions that they can't possibly be right? Whether or not a
mathematical zero actually represents a state of somethingness, and
yes, I know that's not a real word.
That's the basics. It doesn't constantly stream through my head
like that, just every once in a while.
Hey, you wanted to know...
On a typical Friday night I am
Finishing up work and then most likely drinking. Assuming I'm not
working Saturday as well, I'm probably out in Hollywood, maybe
playing cards with the guys.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have a rough strategy plan in the event of a zombie outbreak.
You should message me if
You should message me if you read my profile. You should message me
if you looked at my pics. Frankly, you should message me if you're
taking the time to read this. You could have typed out two solid
sentences by now. Let's face it, the worst thing that could happen
is that I write back and you have to spend a few more minutes on
another couple sentences. Would that be so bad?
Winks are flattering, but unless you're someone I could potentially
consider "the girl of my dreams" I probably won't respond.
I'm always looking for new places to eat and get drinks, so if you
want to share your favorite spot then fire away.
I'm taking suggestions for pumpkin designs this year, so throw your
ideas at me. No promises though.
