I am intelligent, insightful, and me.

My Self-Summary

I figured it was time for an update for two reasons. One, the first time I did this was at three in the morning, and probably does not make a lot of sense. Second, just because I feel like a change.

I will always live for the moment. I never want to look back over any part of my life and feel the weight of two of the most dreaded words, “what if?” I do not want to have those regrets.

To describe myself I am one of the true jack of all trades, I feel just as comfortable head out into the wilderness, as I am camped out on the couch for a really good movie. I really like to do new things, because as the old saying goes "variety is the spice of life." My best features would be that I am funny (but who doesn't think they are funny to themselves, so I will let you be the judge of that), I am always there for those who need me and that I am very smart (thought it has gotten me into as much trouble as it has helped me out.)

Work has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life, but also one of the greatest pains. I have gotten to see places and meet people I would have never had the chance to if not for it. I have gotten to use much of the languages and skills I have picked up which is a constant joy. However, dealing with the fact that part of my time I have no idea where I am does tend to bring you down a little. Thankfully after finish with this last trip out of the states I will be stationary for a good long while. As for what I do exactly, it is rather hard to explain here, so if you would like to know exacts just send me a message and I will go more into detail.

What I really came here for, first and most important, is friends. Yes ladies there are still men out here who want to be just friends and not just get into your pants. If something more develops out of the friendship that would be fantastic, I would love to find that person who I can come home to every day and spend the rest of our lives together. If it does not come to that, well then at least I have another friend to hang out with and cause trouble. I really want to deal with people who can hold a conversation that is not two words. I love to debate (I said debate not argue) issues whether they be political, social, psychological, or just plain off the wall. Also please, please, please, we all put down that we are fluent in English so if you are going to message can you use it and not "textiese." I am sorry but that is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Other than that if you want to know something that I left out, or you want more details, just ask.

What I’m doing with my life

I am working in languages and linguistics. Yes they are two different things, I have people who confuse it all the time. I am spending time traveling around this great world of ours, getting to see different cultures and people.

I’m really good at

Being there for my friends when they need me, I feel that my friends are the family that I got to pick so I want to see them happy.
Picking up languages, at the moment I am working with Russian, French, and Arabic. But I am starting to branch into a few more... if I can get the chance.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have been told my eyes, they are a blue with silver gray bits.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Love to read, anything from fiction to non fiction, from mystery to comedy.
Movie tastes are about the same but I always love a good comedy. Nothing is better to relax at the end of a bad day then with simple humor.
Music... I listen to just about anything, but tend to lean towards rock a little more than the rest.
I love food, love to cook to be more specific, thought have not had the chance to as often as I would like. But as for types you can never go wrong with Italian or Chinese in my book.

The six things I could never do without

Family
My friends
Home (no matter how much I may hate it sometimes)
Human Interaction

Hmmmm.... not certain on the other two, let me get back to you.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What the world has coming next, where else I want to travel to next, and who am I going to meet next.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with the friends, taking in a movie, or just out.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I was once a Casa kid.. If you know what Casa's was you will understand. If you don't message me and I will try to explain.

You should message me if

If you are looking for a person who can hold a conversation. If you want someone who can be equally at ease at a fancy dinner as he is as when he is throwing darts, then I am your man. Feel free, I will always answer, I feel everyone deserves at least that.
