Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Always curious, I love doing research and finding out about new things. I'm really not this boring...but I admire great architecture and books, and I have an affinity for big city libraries, such as Boston and New York's. I have a background in art and design coupled with geoscience. I wear many hats, but those two are my strong points. I love nature, animals and people. I don't waste my time with worries and negativity...why? I stay positive with a happy outlook on life. I tend to be very appreciative of everything. I believe that if one door closes, another one will open. Life offers so many possibilities and opportunites, you just have to grab them.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I am a teacher and a space advocate. Much of what I've been doing the last 5 years has been continuing a life long dream to further space exploration. I have been a part of it from teaching space science, throwing space parties at Chabot Space and Science Center, to lobbying for the Moon, Mars and Beyond initiative on Capitol Hill. Which was won in '04. I've done research, attended lectures (the most fun was @ MIT), and have given lectures on space. Even going so far as to become the Director of PR of a non-profit space advocacy organization and getting myself on the steering committee in my spare time. When you believe in something so greatly you are willing to do whatever it takes. I continue my work as a Science teacher with the goal to inspire young minds about space. I am finally doing what I have always wanted. I have my own classroom inspiring the minds of young scientists and surely future spacefarers.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I have other pursuits as well, such as how to play the Viola da Gamba my favorite renaissance instrument, and get a Bernese Mountain dog and name him Apollo or Cosmo. I haven't decided yet. Aside from being passionate about my work, I also love to play. I have traveled to many places but still have some to conquer such as Egypt, China, and Iceland. I love to travel and explore and I am ready for any mode. I have dry camped for 3 weeks in the desert as well as stayed in five star hotels while zooming around Europe for a month in a new BMW 650. I think living in California is incredible, especially along the coast such as Big Sur or Mendocino. It is something about the cliffs that make those two places so magical. I suppose I should add Ireland to my list to conquer.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My eyes and my smile.

I do my best to smile at everyone. No kidding. It's my personal endeavor.

If it's a Monday at work (and I ALWAYS greet my students at the door), you will hear them whine: "Why are you so happy? It's Monday for goodness sake. It's too early to be smiling". Blah, blah, blah.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Fav book: Canticle for Leibowitz (witty and funny). Fav movie: Soylent Green (SPOILER ALERT!: Soylent green is people). Fav music: I'm well rounded here, BUT if I had to choose: anything by EBTG (Adore Tracey Thorn). Fav food: vegetables and fruit, Thai, Indian, Ethiopian (typically anything spicy).

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

I've dry camped for 3 weeks straight - I can do without many things - evidently.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Laundry.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Reading!? At a bookstore!? Ugh, I am boring.

Okay, well, the pole dancing happens on Saturday night.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I am particular about my laundry and how well I care for my clothes. I know - it's silly. But I think about 'how gentle is that cycle going to really be?', or 'is the temperature too harsh?', and 'I must have a drying cabinet, a dryer will just not do'. This is the most obvious evidence that I am aware of that shows the OCD side of me.

I am probably going to lose some points for this, but my workout tunes list always begins with Lady Sovereign's "Love Me or Hate Me". I know! At least it ends with the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs...LSOV always gets me started at Level 14! I work out about 6-7 nights a week so probably on Friday night you'll find me at the gym as well (dammit! - sigh). Well, it works for me, and you can't help but sing the tune, "I'm fat, I need a diet. No, in fact I'm just here lying..."

You should message me if Propose an edit

You are self-aware and are ready to begin a new chapter in your life - one with me. Having green eyes and being a UK chap would be icing on the cake!

Also, if you knew I was joking when I replied that I drink desperately.
