I am right, behind, and you.
My Self-Summary
I'm on the precipice of nerd-dom. I got good grades in school and
don't go out much. I love to read. I like fantasy like
Lord of the
Rings,
Harry
Potter, His Dark Materials, Earthsea, and Eragon. I like
adventure like
Michael Crichton,
Dan Brown, and
Clive Cussler. And
then I like off-the-wall stuff like
Chuck Palahniuk and
Kurt Vonnegut. I also
enjoy sports--playing and watching.
Baseball is my first love, but I'll
watch all the pro baseball and football that I can. I'm an avid
fantasy
sports player; I love it.
I'm probably too nice and sensitive to be a man's man. I don't have
any stories about how I got so drunk that I killed a homeless
person or anything. I've never been someone to go out and get drunk
every weekend. I've actually probably only been drunk 2-3 times in
my life. I don't smoke--cigarettes or otherwise. I tried smoking a
cigar once and it make me sick. I liked it up until the point I
wanted to vomit.
I'm usually pretty quiet, and because of that I may go unnoticed in
a crowd. But I try to push myself to meet people.
I finally graduated from
Kennesaw State
University this past May with a bachelor's degree in
Chemistry
I think I have a good sense of humor. I joke around a lot. I've
never really had a wild side; a silly, stupid side, sure. My belief
is that to listen to music, you must also sing along, even if you
don't know all the words. I'm somewhat of a movie buff. My top
three are The Shawshank Redemption, Fifth Element, and Willy Wonka.
I usually rent some every week. I sure miss snuggling up on the
couch with someone to watch them though. I don't get to go to the
theater as much as I'd like.
I love to go
bowling. I'd probably go several times a
week if I had the time. I have my own ball and shoes. My high game
is 222. I go
fishing whenever I have the time and the
weather allows. I normally go up to
Allatoona or somewhere along the
Chattahoochee. I like to both
spin-fish and fly-fish.

What I’m doing with my life
Well, I just finished up my undergrad work at Kennesaw State
University. I now have a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. Now comes
the arduous task of getting a job with said degree. People have
been asking me forever what I want to do with my degree. I don't
want to limit my opportunities at this point by further narrowing
down my options. That said, I do like analytical chemistry.
I’m really good at
So you want me to brag about myself? I did well at school. I
graduated with a 3.85 GPA. I'm a good friend. I spent many hours
over my college career helping my friends at school out. I'm a
pretty good bowler with practice. My high game is 222. I will
definitely whip your ass at some
ping-pong. Generally, I can be
pretty good at anything I set my mind to. But I'm especially good
at procrasti

I spend a lot of time thinking about
The future, the ladies, the sports. The United States slowly
slipping into a Road Warrior scenario. I'm sharpening my boomerang.
