I am a self starter solo adventure type in search of another like minded individual who enjoys traveling, art, and heavy metal!

Right now I work at the Student Union at the local university while I intern as a staff photographer at an independent magazine. I also freelance some photography work on the side.

I'm getting by, saving up what I can to go on solo adventures and pay off adult stuff like loans, rent, and bills. The end game plan is to eventually return to school and work on my masters, or teach English overseas.

In the meantime I've been getting into the best shape of my life to prepare for my first international trip!

Being a self starter. I don't wait for things to happen, I make them happen, this often includes doing things solo. I have no problem if someone wants to join in, but if "you want to get something done, you got to do it yourself." I learned that most, if not everything, needs that initial push to get the ball rolling.

Photography. I get paid to do it and I've also been published several times. Plus gallery showings. Yeah!

This one has been popping up alot more than ever lately: MY AGE. Everyone thinks I look younger than I actually am.

For some reason or another people get the impression that I am a tech person when they first see me. I am to some extent, but my overall knowledge isn't broad nor extensive. I can't help you code a website or program software, but I can take your photograph or somewhat build your PC.

Or given the situation, my leather jacket.

Favorite Dishes:
Sashimi with Peach Sake, pizza and cold soda. Most food is delicious though. Pig Newtons are pretty good, too.

Music:
I'm open to most flavors, but these bands in particular really get me talking:

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Iced Earth, KISS, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Sodom, Warbringer, Napalm Death, Municipal Waste, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, The Doors, Kimbra, Foreigner, Boston, Queen, Journey, AC/DC

I'm not going to list them all

Movies:
First Blood, Dawn of the Dead, The Thing, Robocop, Highlander, Big Trouble in Little China, Akira, The Big Lebowski, Event Horizon,countless others. I really love 80's action and horror.

TV:

If you know what Outlaw Star is, yet alone love the show, we will get along just fine

Adding a seventh one, but I realized that this is a really important one for me:

My determination to see things through to the end.

This and how it applies to both to texting and OK Cupid and how frustrating it is.

I'm leaving on my grand journey in a couple of months!

I've seriously have been thinking about the questions on the website.... Do they matter? Are they a real indicator that I will like this person? I haven't answered any questions in the last 6 months, so my answers then are not an accurate indicator of how I am or who I am now. Responses have a bit of fluidity to them, so they can easily change over time.

doing something I guess... It really depends on what's going on, no such thing as typical anymore.

You're going have to work at this one to get it.

-you want to go out on an adventure and try new things

-you are the artist or creative type

-looking for a work out partner

-if this song triggers any signs of nostalgia.
