I am nice, intelligent, and laid-back.
My Self-Summary
Hi, my name is Tom. I am originally from Colorado where I went to
high school. I left here for sunny Arizona where I went to college
for 4 years and graduated with a B.S. degree in Software
Engineering. Since the economy went :( I had to expand my job
search, which led me back to Colorado where I just started my new
job and am loving it so far.
For hobbies I like to play video games, watch movies, read random
information on wikipedia, watch Jeopardy, and so on. I used to have
a job in the video gaming industry so I enjoy them, but I only play
for an hour or two a day, not crazy insane hours.
Seeing as I am from Colorado, I also enjoy the outdoors and doing
stuff in this beautiful state. I love to go fishing on a lazy
afternoon. I also like hiking, camping, and just exploring around.
In the winter I love to go skiing, something I desperately missed
while in Arizona.
Anything else you want to know, please ask away!
What I’m doing with my life
I am currently working as a Technology Project Leader for a state
educational organization here in Colorado on a two-year contract. I
work with some of the small school districts in the area, providing
technology equipment and support to special education teachers. I
love technology and I like working in the educational industry, so
I am really enjoying my job.
After my contract is up, I will probably get another position in
technology somewhere.
I’m really good at
Yikes, I am way too modest to answer this one. I am pretty good
with any and all technology. I'm the guy in the family all the
relatives come to for troubleshooting their computers. I enjoy the
challenge though, so I can't complain. I like to think I am good at
intelligent conversation and debating, something I learned from my
mom. I like conversing with other people about deep or meaningful
topics, or just random stuff I find interesting. I am a bit shy
though, so don't expect that right off the bat.
I also like to think that I am a good friend to anybody. I don't
like conflict and I hate hurting people's feelings, so I try to get
along with everybody. I don't ever lose my temper and try to stay
calm even through the most stressful situations. Life is too short
to be worrying all the time.
Also I guess I am pretty good at video games, since I have played
them my whole life. I know, it is a very useful life skill to have.
;)
The first things people usually notice about me
I don't know what to put for this one, since I don't go around
asking people. I suppose the standard answer is my eyes, but I
think it is probably my hair. Especially if it hasn't been cut in a
while and is approaching afro status.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Wheel of Time series, Harry
Potter, Tolkien, Dune and a lot more that I can't think of right
now.
Movies: Lost in Translation, The Big Lebowski, Into the Wild, The
Dark Knight, Grandma's Boy, LOTR, The Matrix, No Country For Old
Men, and I could keep going forever.
Music: I know everybody on here says they listen to everything, but
do they listen to video game soundtracks? Because I do, on
occasion. Seriously though, I listen to every genre of music.
Certain songs just catch my ear, and they could be any artist. Some
I like: The Shins, Nightwish, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Blur, Metallica,
The Beatles, The Lonely Island, etc.
Food: I am about 1/2 Italian, and I grew up on my Italian family's
home cooking, so I have to go with Italian. I also have a soft spot
for Mexican food. I love chocolate and sweet things too. Yeah, I'm
not too picky. Oh and, anything my mom makes :)
Bonus Category! Video Games: Mario, Zelda, Halo, any and all RPGs,
Mass Effect, Wii Bowling, Kingdom Hearts, and more.
The six things I could never do without
1.) My awesome family, including my brother, one of my best
friends.
2.) My other friends, who are also awesome.
3.) Computers/Internet
4.) Video Games/Movies/Books
5.) Chocolate
6.) Air/Water/Food
I spend a lot of time thinking about
A lot of stuff, I am a thinker, and I like to comtemplate the big
questions in life. I am always curious and looking to expand my
knowledge. As for more serious things, I think on them but don't
like to dwell or worry about them. Things happen, and I just go
with the flow.
On a typical Friday night I am
I live in a very small town, so usually nothing much. Maybe driving
to a movie or going out to eat now and then. Usually just relaxing
at home from a long work week.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I've never had a serious relationship with anybody before. I've
been on some casual and fun dates, but never beyond that.
Anything else you want to know, just ask me.
You should message me if
You find anything listed above interesting. Please don't be shy, I
always picture girls on these sites as getting tons of messages
from guys everyday, so sometimes I am reluctant to contact people
because I figure they are bombarded by messages all the time. I can
be a little shy at first but I promise I am nice and talkative once
I get to know you better.
