Most of what I say are desperate attempts at humor, so that's fun. I love a good story, whether it be in a book, movie, TV show, vidya game, whatever. Good writing, acting, voice acting, music ques, etc. I love how it all blends together.

I watch a lot of Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu, all that. Gordon Ramsay is my hero. Recently started going to the gym, work in progress.

Oh, and my name's Mike, though most people call me by some variation of my last name.

Since I am a student at northeastern, I am currently interning full time at the Brookline Police Department in lieu of taking classes for six months. And it's really awesome. The experience is making me seriously consider a possible career in law enforcement. Most of the officers have a very similar sense of humor as mine, which leads pretty much to us making fun of each other all day. Short of that however, I have no clue what I'm doing with my life. But hey, who does? I'm not overly concerned yet. If the whole cop thing doesn't pan out I guess my backup would be culinary school. I'm always trying to cook and usually failing.

I am also a member with the Brookline CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). It's basically a volunteer program where in the case of a disaster or accident or what-have-you (Fire, flood, terrorist attack, etc.) we can open and operate shelters to help displaced people with no where else to go. We are also trained in search and rescue, first aid, triage, etc. It's been a great experience so far and I can't wait to have the chance to put the skills to use. Planning to take these skills and join up with the Red Cross soon as well.

Bullshitting. That might not sound so great, but if you need an extra page on your essay I can make that happen with little to no knowledge on the subject matter. People underestimate the power of "fluff".

Maybe that I like to drink. Because I do. Also one of my friends has called me very "smiley" before, so maybe that. I like to consider myself as pretty frivolous. Get a few drinks in me and I'll start dancing like a fool, so if you're around for that you'd probably notice that pretty quick.

Also my eyebrows are seemingly non-existent. I have been asked multiple times throughout my life if I wax them (just to clarify, no I do not).

Books: I love Stephen King and Michael Crichton. Other than that A Song of Fire and Ice is obviously great. My favorite book is probably Swan Song, I highly recommend it if you are into post-apocalyptic fiction and the like. On the Beach is also an incredible read, though it is ridiculously depressing so unless your into that I'd avoid it. Just got a Kindle so looking forward to reading more. Doesn't quite compare to having the actual book, but the convenience of being able to lay in bed in the dark reading is brilliant.

Movies: Love the Lord of the Rings movies (honestly I think they are much better than the books, those things are just... slow, to say the least). Also I really like Shia Labeouf movies, make of that what you will. I love animated movies, classics like Lion King and Mulan, and also newer ones like Wreck it Ralph. I think Tangled is one of the greatest movies ever made. If you don't like Tangled then... then I just don't know.

Shows: Anything with strong characters and plot. LOST, Battlestar Galactica, The Office, Blue Mountain State, Fringe, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, 30 Rock, South Park, Burn Notice, Flashpoint, Chuck, HIMYM, anything that includes Chef Ramsay yelling at people, the list goes on and on. I eat this shit up. Game Show Network all day erryday.

Music: I like hip hop and rap a lot, as well as alternative rock. Also pop. My friends have commented on the shear randomness of my music library I honestly have a bit of everything. There are also a lot of game/movie/tvshow soundtracks which I enjoy a lot, like Assassin's Creed 2 or Modern Warfare 2 (whose soundtrack was much better than the actual game). The Django Unchained soundtrack is incredible. Seriously, go listen to it. You won't regret it.

Food: Love me some food (obviously). Steak is great. Love Sushi and Thai food. Anything spicy. Actually planning on taking some cooking classes in Brookline soon if anyone wants to try it out with me. I like cooking and want to actually get good at it.

Things I would hate to lose?

The Internet
My dog
Netflix
Thepiratebay.se
Beer
My teeth. I'm always having those stereotypical nightmares of them falling out. Not a fan of that.

Just turned 21 so just starting to hit up the bar scene. Let me know if you know any "hole in the wall" type places, always down to try something new and off the beaten path.

Also I go to Anime Boston every year even though I have seen little to no Anime. I just like the costumes and art.

I'm a terrible driver. Took driver's ed, but never actually got my license. Never would have had a car and have always had access to public transportation, so wasn't a priority. Hopefully I'll be getting to that this summer though.

I got a manicure once. And I liked it.

1) Really bored
2) Desperate for a response (I gotchu)
3) You want someone to watch game shows with
