I'm 25 years old, and I live in South County, St. Louis. I work for a liquor distribution company as a merchandiser and I really like it. Great pay, full benefits, union, the whole thing. I finally have a "real" job and probably couldn't be more happy about it.

I LOVE Music of all kinds. And I mean that, my playlist goes from Bach to Digital Underground to Linkin Park to Reel Big Fish to Avenged Sevenfold to 8 1/2 Souvenirs(Bonus points if you know who that is). And much more obscure stuff as well. If you play it, I'll find a way to dig it. I also play alto saxophone for the funk band Groove Conspiracy here in Cape. I'm actually a Bari Sax player. But I don't own a Bari, and I DO own an alto. So I'm an alto player. Grrr. We should have some gigs coming up pretty soon so keep an eye out.

Music truly is one of the greatest things there is. It's therapeutic, it helps us relate, it calms, it stimulates, it arouses deep emotion, instills pride. Even doing things that are vaguely musical can make a person feel wonderful. Don't believe me? Get a group of your friends, give everyone something to make noise with, and just start playing something. Rhythmic, tonal, melodius, atonal, whatever it doesn't matter. After getting into it, tell me that you didn't feel alive. Our very bodies pulsate in rhythm and our minds are tuned to pick up beats.

Other than that, I'm a generally laid back guy that probably plays more video games than he should and has a slight cartoon network addiction.

So yeah, anything else, just ask me! I love meeting new people.

I quoted my old "What I'm doing with my life" because it's explained in the first paragraph of my self-summary, but I felt it sort of allows another view of me.

"I just graduated college and am currently looking for a "real" job. If that doesn't pan out soon, I might run away to Italy for a few months/forever. A Bonnie for my Clyde would be preferred in this endeavor. Ok fine, probably won't happen, I'll just find a job and be happy making money, but it'd be fun, eh?"

This is 1 part this box and 1 part "Private things" box, but here goes. I'm currently on a very big self-improvement kick. Many months ago I lost nearly 40 pounds. At around the 40 pound mark I managed to mess up my shoulder pretty bad and as a result put a large chunk of that weight back on. Well now it's time to shed it once again. I've already lost 7 since I started again and I started 10 down from my original weight, so I'm almost halfway back to where I was!

Anyyyywwhoo, I'm looking for people that can help me be active. It's not that I don't want to active type things, but I'm not so much into the typical running or lifting weights. I need to find some clever (and fun) ways of working out! If you think you can help in this endeavor, we need to be friends!

Making people laugh. Being blunt when I need to be. I would say Guitar Hero, but recently my friend's little brother showed me what "Good" at Guitar Hero is. I can play most songs on expert. He can get 98% + on most songs on expert. ...While playing the guitar behind his head. O.o

I shave my head bald, and am almost always in good spirits. I also have dimples that are often noticed. Depending on the group I can chill out or be the life of the party... and trust me... you'll notice if I'm in one of my rambunctious partying moods.

Books: Anything by RA Salvatore, Douglas Adams, or any books that have to do with music.

Movies: Waiting, The Usual Suspects (My all-time favorite), Indiana Jones, anything by Quentin Tarentino.

Music: Everything. See above. I -EAT- and -BREATHE- music.

Food: I figure try everything once. If you don't like it, wait a few years and try it again.

Air Conditioning.
Literacy.
Intelligent Conversation.
Periodic Privacy. I love people, I just need Steve time from time to time.
My family.
Music.

Everything really. It's always interesting to think of how the tiniest things affect us in the biggest ways, and how had that tiny thing not happened, what might have happened differently. Theoretical stuff. Anything that provokes more thought. Silly goofy things.

I also wonder about all of the females listed on here as Gay and why the heck I wind up having 85+ % match ratings with them and not people that actually have an interest in me >< haha.

Working, hanging out with friends, or at home doing something. I typically like hanging out around the house or with a small group of friends as much as if not a bit more than going out and partying or barhopping or what have you. That's not to say I don't like going out, but I find that unless I'm going to a scene for music, it's generally too loud to hold a good conversation.

I enjoy playing video games. The plots are generally as good as any book, they're interactive, and test any gamer on their problem solving skills; they'll give results through the roof.

If you have an irrational hatred of guys who play video games, don't bother messaging me. I don't care that guys who played video games jilted you in the past. I don't care that you got stood up cuz that ex decided to raid instead. I AM NOT YOUR LOSER-ASS EX BOYFRIEND.

I consider video gaming a hobby, so I make time for it, but that's not to say I won't make plenty of time for other things (You). Tell me that video games are addictive and a waste of time and I'll probably tell you that so is drinking/getting drunk. But you do it in moderation and enjoy it for what it's worth and don't let it become your addiction and all is well.

Uh, ahem, yeah, /endrant.

You love music. Music is truly an amazing thing, and even just making noise to a beat can be a life-altering experience. Someone who will cuddle up on the couch with me and listen to CDs or the radio while singing along(terribly even). Living room dancing preferred.

You enjoy video games. It's a hobby of mine, and something I've grown up doing and still love. If you'll stand in line with me to pick up the new version of Guitar Hero, or whatever damned goofy game I want at the time all the better. Extra mega double points if you'll play it with me.

If you fight back and are ornery. I want a girl that grins at me and hits me with a pillow. Who actually challenges me in conversation. Doormats need not apply.

You're intelligent. Self explanatory. Also factors into the previous paragraph.

You can make me laugh.

You're spontaneous. Let's go watch the sun rise somewhere. Let's pack up and head off for a weekend somewhere.

If any of these apply, please send me a message. If they all apply, then WHY HAVEN'T YOU MESSAGED ME YET?!
