Everybody says they have a hard time describing themselves, I like to think it comes naturally. People are more or less afraid to compliment themselves. I'm a boisterous, funny, and generally likable person. I go out of my way to try and make the world a better place to be and I like to picture myself the intellectual cross between Leonard for sweetness and Sheldon for aloofness on the Big Bang Theory.

I struggle day to day like everybody else and I truly do see the beauty in living. I'm a person who believes in a higher power. I go to church when I can but I don't go out of some dogmatic desire, I go because it allows me to get clarity. I hold out hope that there is a greater power even though my scientific side struggles with that occasionally.

All and all I got back on here to meet people as my circle is rather small but tightly knit. I'm now back to being free on the weekends. I have a regular life once more. Truly a nice change of pace.

Finishing my masters in history at Duquesne university. I have finally been freed from working weekends! WOO!

UPDATE: I just got accepted to the Northern Arizona University for my Doctorate in Political Science. So in essence I won't be here past august, I don't want to lead anybody on.

Being an awesome friend.
Bowling
Winning arguments about politics
Archery
Writing, but sadly only non-fiction. All my imagination juice is being used up right now in other areas.
Getting to the gym, lost over 100 lbs in 3 years.

I never ask people but I'm remembered everywhere I go. I attribute it to my size but everybody insists it's my pleasant demeanor and general pleasantness.

I wish I could say I read fiction anymore...

Movies: Inception, Robocop, Saving Private Ryan, Clue: The Movie...The list goes on but I tend to prefer comedies over mindless action films. The Back To the Future Trilogy are some of my favorite films of all time. I would truly enjoy owning a delorean sometime in my life.

Music: punk rock, top 40. Naming bands is not my forte but I'll try since all the cool kids seem to do it. Rancid, op ivy, the distillers, sleigh bells, the eels, garbage, be your own pet, Florence + the machine, Lady GaGa...really the list goes on but I fee cool enough now.

Food: I'm adventurous, I'll try anything once.

This space either makes you seem vacuous or seem like you're trying to hard. The more I read them the more I hate this space. But let's try and make me sound like neither.

Smartphone
Friends
Vehicle to getaway in
Books - preferably the good variety
Clean underwear - refer to bill Cosby on the matter
Life - both the cereal and the concept! Once you've stopped living it for a while you realize how much you miss it.

Where am I going for my doctorate? What kind of life am I leading? Am I being the person I want to be?

As an aside, I also mull over the future I have in this realm of existence, who will I spend it with, how can I impact it for the better, and when will I know.

Probably sitting at home watching Netflix or contemplating going out for some fun. Maybe bowling, maybe archery. Really don't know what would be typical, my fridays haven't been free in a long time.

I'm sadly the most pathetic person for bars and clubs. I can't hear very well due to various ear issues so loud places make understanding other people near impossible. I'm more a coffee shop type of guy anyways.

Also I can't really swim though I'm changing that.

This section seems to be growing, but I have no idea why people like chap stick. I understand it's use but I think I've used it maybe five times in life. I just fail at understanding people's absolute love of the stuff.

If you're looking to have a good time.

PS: I know most people won't read down to this level but as the internet seems to bring about more anonymity in an unhealthy fashion I do reply to all messages regardless of my personal level of interest if only to be polite. I picture this place as a giant sidewalk where if you were to say hello I should atleast be obliged to reply back with a pleasantry. Call it a pet peeve.
