Hello everyone. I'm a pretty easy going fellow. I'm interested in computers, motorcycles, movies, and other random boring stuff like that. I live in a small town in Idaho, but came from one of the largest cities in California. Mostly I'm just looking for people to talk to, and possibly hang out with. If more comes from it however, I'd never be one to complain. My current passions are motorcycling and too a lesser extent snowmobiling. I long for a curvy, well developed expanse of... road

I will admit that I am quite analytical at times, but I really do have a heart.. I think it's in my closet at the moment?

My work falls somewhere between a masochistic compulsion and a sadistic pursuit but I enjoy it sometimes. Really.

At this very moment? I'm typing on ok cupid! I'm currently running the family business. We work with developmentally disabled folk.

I should hopefully be starting school again here soon for my social work degree. Pesky things keep interrupting me on that.

Beyond my school and work plans I wander the western United States somewhat aimlessly. On my weekends off from work I pick a cardinal direction and get as far as I can until I need to come back. Now if only I could figure out how to not need to come back...

Figuring out broken things. I love analytical thought. I'm also very good at listening to people's problems, as long as you want help or a solution to it. I'm a guy, we don't really do that "oh I wanted you to listen but not do anything about it" it confuses us.

Well, if you're meeting me at my house, it's the buffalo I live next to. Owner says it's his big brown dog.

If I'm out in town it would be the fact that I'm wearing a coat on a 100 degree summer day.

Otherwise probably the fact that I'm attached to my cell phone with a stressed look on my face. Anyone want my job?

Favorite books: The Dresden Files series, Terry Pratchett stuff, though really I'll read about anything. I recently finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy and wow, just when you think it'd hit rock bottom, it starts to dig!

Favorite movies: Classics, Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, big epic films like that, also Coen Brothers stuff. I do dearly love me some Big Lebowski and Burn After Reading. I just watched Fail-Safe and forgot how amazing of a movie that is. I have a huge man crush on Henry Fonda and Gregory Peck.

Favorite Music: eh. I'm a bit of a nerd in this respect, I enjoy the classics, Floyd, Zeppelin, Osbourn, but I have a deep and abiding respect for the epic metal genre. That's right, I like Manowar. I'd never admit it in public though!

Favorite Food: hmm. I like good food. It doesn't necessarily have to be fancy, but I do find myself enjoying going to nice restaurants. Oh, and English Toffee without nuts. English muffins also. They're fantastic.

Favorite TV: I heard you can add tv here too, so I will! I'm dearly fond of Chuck, Heroes (mostly because it's like a giant train wreck) Top gear (oh James May, what horrible car will you buy this time?) and finally House. I view House as less a tv show, and more a documentary on how I would like to live my life.

1. My dog
2. Sarcasm
3. either my KLR650 or my DL1000, depending upon mood.
4. Probably my phone, as much as I hate it, It'd be awfully hard to do my job without it, plus it's an iphone, that makes me cool right?
5. My Mom
6. Socks. I love socks. Socks are quite possibly the greatest invention by mankind so far.

Work. It's pretty all consuming a lot of the time sadly enough. The joys of being in charge?

When it's not work it's where I'll meander off to my next free weekend. Last week it was Oregon. The time previous it was Northern Idaho I've also got the Going to the Sun highway and Lolo Pass in Montana and the Badlands in South Dakota on my list for this year.

I've also been pondering what you can't do with a JetBoil? It started off as mankind's greatest ramen cooking device and has become a way of life. Who doesn't want a man who can boil water in 30 seconds?

Nerding it up if I have to work. If I don't have to work I'm a minimum of 200 miles away from here.

I would totally go 100% irrevocably gay for Ira Glass. I would have him follow me around and read the dictionary or the phone book so I could listen to him. I <3 Ira Glass.

You want to I suppose. I'm a pretty easy going guy. Perhaps if you want to mourn Kawasaki dropping out of the MotoGP circuit or if you'd like to a deep meaningful discussion on the merits of cross plane vs flat plane crankshaft design.

On a more serious note, you should message me if you know something about photography. I've been interested in learning something beyond the simple point and shoot I currently have.
