I am Relaxed, Practical, and Direct.

My Self-Summary

I am a hard drinking, emotionally unavailable individual with a moderate superiority complex and little tolerance for bullshit. That said, I spend most of my time in a pretty good mood since life generally isn't serious enough to worry about. Also, a little manufactured rage can be fun from time to time.

As for this site, I'm not here looking for anything meaningful. Having just gotten out of a relationship, the concept of being unattached is still new and wonderful. However, the concept of occasional contact with women is still very much appealing.

Si tu as un ordinateur, je suis sur que tu peux lire en Anglais. Aussi, je suis paresseux.

What I’m doing with my life

School mostly. Grad school is great because I don't have to be a real person yet. That doesn't sound very fun.

I'm working toward my PhD in mechanical engineering and human computer interaction at the moment. My research involves emerging interface and visualization technologies as well as some less cool sounding applied math stuff.

I’m really good at

Paddling a canoe. All sorts of other outdoor stuff too.

Drinking. That's not to say I can drink way more than you, though that may be the case. Rather, it's just that alcohol and I seem to have an understanding.

Spending money I may or may not have on ever expanding hobbies. Currently, that means biking and homebrewing.

The first things people usually notice about me

I'm tall. Not circus tall, but still up there.

I drink a lot. Some may think too much, but I'm a professional and this is what I have trained for.

Sometimes I wear a lot of flannel.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without

My music: I say "my" for a reason. Bad music is perhaps the number one way to ruin a good day.

Teh Intarweb: Ever been without a connection for a few days? Boring as shit.

Alcohol: Let's break this down highlander style. Every new drink I try is like a quickening. Once I've had them all, I win the prize.

Cooking: The thought of only eating stuff that comes out of a box depresses me.

Friends: I'm certainly not dependent on people, but it's nice to sometimes have someone else to talk to other than my dog.

Humor: Everything can be laughed at. More things should be laughed at. Too many people take too many things much too seriously.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

If there is any way America can live up to its potential without rebuilding from scratch after a zombie apocalypse.

Religion and how to kill it...kill it with fire.

On a typical Friday night I am

Probably at the bar

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have never loved in the romantic sense of the word. I find it is a term/emotion that is often misapplied.

You should message me if

You have something more to say than "hi". I find chit chat to be pretty grating, and it's easier just not replying. So be interesting since I'm not desperate enough to feign interest...yet, anyway.
