I just recently moved to into a house in Emmaus. As I am settling in I am getting ready for my new roommate, a Shepherd Puppy. I've been a contractor for about 10 years now, and although it's not my main job anymore, I still do jobs on the side. In my free time I'll either stay in and watch a movie, or I'll go out kayaking or hiking. I'm not one for large social events or hitting up bars.

My life is busy to say the least, and I like it that way. I have a 2nd shift job with a stainless steel distribution center. Not only do I enjoy it, but it provides a stable paycheck and lets me do tile installations on the side without worry as to when my next paycheck is coming. I'm kayaking at least once a week during the warmer months, and in the colder months I usually go hiking instead. I started taking a sword-fighting class, but that is currently on hold while I help my grandfather recover from a broken hip.

I'm good at my job and there seems to be no end to the praise that I receive after I finish a tile installation. I'm no survival expert, but I'm good at hiking and camping. I used to be in scouts and made it all the way to Eagle (If you know what that is) and also hold a 4th level black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I drove NASCAR at one of the training programs in the Pocono's and I'd say I'm ready for the advanced class. I stuck to the instructor's car like glue at 155mph!

The first thing... probably that I'm a little overweight. I joke around with people that I'm 'functionally fat', but there is an absolute truth to it. I have no problem hiking/backpacking or kayaking long distances. I enjoy keeping busy and the one thing I never got much enjoyment out of was cooking. Unfortunately that means most of my meals are on-the-go, and aren't exactly the healthiest things to eat. I recently started lifting, it's time to build a healthier me and do more adventurous things.

A) I don't spend much time reading, but here are a few that I like.... Making Love: The Bruce Campbell Way, the Dexter books, and the Diskworld series. If you would count them as 'books, I enjoy reading graphic novels and manga as well.

B) I love the big medieval/fantasy epics like lord of the rings, and braveheart. I like action movies and comedies. Also of note are some good horror movie and their b-movie counterparts. Dog Soldiers, and Army of Darkness

C) Metal and Hard Rock is where my focus lies. I love finding out about new bands and I often tend to confuse a lot of people on a regular basis with all the different sorts of music on my mp3 players. If you're looking for a list, you'd be reading a book... I have a few thousand cds

D) I'm a simple person with simple tastes... Pizza, Steak, Hamburgers, Chicken, and an incredibly weird variation on what some people might call a salad

Family. A kayak, hiking boots, and the friends to do each of those activities with. A car that I enjoy driving, preferably manual transmission. Music.

What to say...

I'm at a complete loss for words when it comes to trying to talk with someone online. The disadvantage is that I think I spend too much time thinking about what to write. Does it come across as boring and/or insincere? Did I pick the wrong thing to talk about? There are many times I find myself kicking myself for what I say, but that's just me.

working... but it's not so bad. I love my job. The best part is that I get to sleep in on Mondays when everyone is waking up to start work. I don't hate Mondays anymore

I'll tell you later

if.... you don't want the world to end? Alright, so the world may not end immediately if no one messages me. It could eventually though, right?
