I am Like James Bond, MacGyver, and Gumbi -- COMBINED!!!.
My Self-Summary
"I am Michael, and I am part English, Irish, German, and Scottish,
sort of a virtual United Nations."
I am just a midwestern implant to the west coast, who after 4 years
of living here still has delusions of grandure that someone is
going to wave "thanks" when I let them cut me off in traffic. If
you couldn't tell by that statement, I am also an optimist.
I am super laid back, and probably take too little seriously (most
of the time). I could put the rest of the resume here, but what's
the fun in that...
What I’m doing with my life
I am a professional nerd (aka an Engineer). But don't hold it
against me.
I am also currently working on an MBA.
I’m really good at
My job, driving, golf, welding, legos, walking, watching TV/movies,
dancing (edit: making a fool of myself), eating fruit, puzzles (200
pieces or less), enjoying scotch (in moderation of course, doctor),
softball, poker, keeping the ice-cube trays filled, making fun of
jack-holes, bowling, sand castles (bit out of practice though),
skiing, falling down gracefully, et cetera.
The first things people usually notice about me
I can make almost anyone laugh, and that I am the LEAST photogenic
person on the planet. Seriously, I don't take a good photo. I am
usually the guy in the background ruining the picture, and later
being dubbed as "That Guy."
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I usually only have time to read boring technical books, and
business text these days...
Movies: I am kind of a movie nerd, so I will simply list my
favorite of all time:
High Fidelity
Music: I am a sucker for classic rock (Zeppelin, The Who, Bob
Dylan, etc.) but favorite band is
Pearl Jam
Food: Mexican (Close second: Italian)
The six things I could never do without
Humor (can you imagine drive-by shootings w/ squirt guns and the
Benny Hill song...would be a lot better world)
Coffee (I would go through alot more keyboards at work w/o
it)
College Football (I am allowed one "dude" obsession, this is
it)
Friends (self-explanatory)
Intelligence (someone has to bail out the idiots)
Water (that's just science)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How not to take myself too seriously, while at the same time
becoming exponentially more successful at life.
On a typical Friday night I am
Enjoying life (and the beginning of the weekend) in one way or
another.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I netflix-ed "The Notebook"
I guess to generalize, I am a sucker for a chick flick...this will
haunt me till I die.
You should message me if
You're awesome.
