I'm a 25 year old guy living out in Vernon, CT. I guess you could call me a passionate, big-hearted guy. I tend to really only be concerned with life's big stuff - it's too short to worry about the little things. When I'm on my deathbed, I want to be able to sit with someone and run through a lifetime of great memories. That's the stuff that really matters. The rest is just the scenery on the road there.

For starters, I work full-time as a software engineer at a software company here in CT. I'm also currently in the process of applying to UCONN's part-time MBA program in downtown Hartford. I think I'd like to go into Management. It's not an easy field (I think the best managers appreciate the true difficulty of it), but I love working with and helping people. So, I figure there's no harm in trying for a post-graduate degree now while I have the time and the means, you know?

Books: Michael Crichton and Steven King's stuff; "Anathem", Neal Stephenson; "The Great Gatsby", F. Scott Fitzgerald; "Stealing the Network" series; "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell", Tucker Max; probably tons more on my bookshelf that I can't remember.

Movies: "The Big Lebowski", "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels", "Gladiator", "Snatch", "Desperado", "Pulp Fiction", "Crash", "Batman Begins", "Kill Bill" 1 & 2, "Seven", " The Dark Knight", to name a few.

Music: Muse, The Editors, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Barenaked Ladies, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Jay Z, Kanye West, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, John Mayer, Fall Out Boy, Lily Allen, Eminem, Dr. Dre, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Keane, Filter, Death Cab For Cutie, Panic At The Disco, Something Corporate, Sara Bareilles, The Darkness, The Cure, Death Cab For Cutie, LL Cool J, Live, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Florence + The Machine, ... I tend to be drawn towards exceptional music: exceptional songwriting, exceptional voices, exceptional musical capability, etc. Hence the wide range of bands / singers / rappers.

Hmmm... I wonder if the question means immaterial or material stuff? The immaterial list is probably more interesting anyway. I'll just go with that.

1. Love
2. Great Memories
3. Music
4. Companionship
5. Good Conversation
6. Sex

Either going out to do something with my friends, or watching TV / a movie. Work drains me during the week - I'm way more fun on Saturdays. :-)

I don't really have any secrets - I'll tell you pretty much anything if you ask. Feel free to... !!

You're looking for a friendship or just someone to talk to.
