First off, you probably want to go to Stevwen's page. He shares a lot of my perspectives but is more likable.

My name is Phillip, or Phil, or Moose (why? Because I was a fat, fat baby). I was born and raised right here in Vegas. How many of *those* people do you know?

Since I was a youngin', I've always enjoyed video games and football (the proper term for soccer [/elitist attitude]). In the past couple years, I've taken a liking to ballroom dancing, cooking, Korean. The problem with saying I like Korean on here is that someone might think that's enough to start a conversation with me, but I only know, like, seven words at the moment.

I'm blunt. I've been called brutally honest. Honesty is the foundation for any relationship - platonic, romantic, or otherwise. Still, I don't try to be rude, but it comes out that way sometimes. People have come to appreciate that in me. My friends know when they ask me the dumbest question to seeking possibly life-altering advice (and everything in between): my response contains no sugar-coating.

On that topic of honesty: many of my platonic girlfriends have described their previous relationships with men to take a backseat to video games. One even claimed that she walked in to the room her boyfriend was in, dropped her towel, and said "Let's go", to which he responded "Hold on" to finish whatever video game he happened to be playing. I'm here to tell you right now I get a lot of enjoyment out of video games. To the point that it's practically a requirement to play something (Rock Band works, The Sims does not) or at least be open to the idea of playing with me/my friends.

*** HOWEVER ***

I. Am. Not. Like. That. As much as I enjoy video games, my friends come first. I would much rather be out having a meal at Olive Garden or seeing the midnight premiere of a movie, or hell, until my legs hurt, I'd rather be working than sitting in front of my computer. Video games are cool, like alcohol and money, but they aren't everything.

October 2009: Decided I'm going to teach English in South Korea once I get my degree. 난 곧 희망!

August 2009: I start my Freshman year of college to become a Mechanical Engineer, with an emphasis on solar energy.

My life has been really hectic for the past year. I wanted to be a server and pursue that in school, and get mentored -- the whole bit. Unfortunately with this recession and the fact that I kept getting fired, it's been hard. I finally reached my breaking point when my last boss fired me and didn't give me a reason. How does that even work?

After that, I just gave up. It's time for me to learn a skill that few people possess and make myself more valuable than random grunt #236.

As a bonus, in 2 years I'll get to say I understand thermodynamics, which is cool. =D

Uhhh... first person shooters? Yeah, that's not too important.

Cooking. *I* think *I* make the best steaks. What other people think is irrelevant.

Oh, and if you're in to spicy food, my chili is a force to be reckoned with.

Salsa and Lambada (Excuse the fact that it's dripping with everything 80s about it). I'm sure I'm rusty, but it's no fun without a partner.

I'm a callipygian superman.
I'm a charismatic stallion.
I'm a herculean exemplar.

Pick two.

People never notice either of those.

But I love my eyes. They let me see the rest of my wonderful face in the mirror.

On a sadder note: I have a weak chin. It's tired from holding up my sexy smile all day.

(Unfortunately, I'm not clever enough to come up with that little quip on my own, and the excerpt that that was taken from failed to mention the comedian who said it. :( )

*shrug* I'll try anything that doesn't smell too funny. Except bell peppers and mushrooms. I'm a bell pepper/mushroom bigot.

Other interests:
I like cats and dogs. To an extent. I used to live in a house with 4 large dogs (3 golden retriever-size, 1 a bit larger than a coyote) and 3 cats. It's a bit much. Well, I don't mind the 3 cats, but I think I'd rather have 2 dogs than 4.
I want to own an octopus some day.

Penguins. I'm not particularly a fan of birds, but I would certainly enjoy a raven of some kind as a pet.
Boston Legal
SE++
Zero Punctuation
Musicals

I have a love-hate relationship with House. It's a neat show, and if there's anyone I can relate to, it's a prick with no concern for strangers. I hate it because I'm turning in to a hypochondriac and surgery scenes make me want to vomit. :(

I don't think I can come up with six if I exclude biological needs.

I will tell you this: I don't know where I'd be without my best friend Steve. Every one thinks two things:

1) Why the hell are you two friends? You're completely different.
2) Are you two gay for each other? No really, are you?

We worked together for a number of months in close proximity at a restaurant. When it was slow we'd often recite songs from musicals like Avenue Q, The southpark movie, or we'd just break out in to a Billy Joel or Queen song.

It got to the point where people were so certain we just started telling everyone we were married. Quite honestly, we might as well be. There's not many people I know that I can get in to a fight with and have everything be OK 10 minutes later.

That's personal, if not a bit sordid.

Sitting at home and possibly studying. Poor college student, yo!

Also sitting at home, on the computer, looking at Seoul, South Korea's craigslist postings for English teachers. It keeps me motivated for going to school.

I would go gay for James Spader.

You're not going to do it because you're a girl and you wait for guys to send you messages!
