Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Hello I'm Rob, and to my some of my buddies 'spooky'. I am your typical intelligently sarcastic, silently observant, and using that to hide behind true geek. I'm also quite proud of the fact I'm a geek especially since it pays the bills. I love to learn, figure out, and reverse engineer just about everything I find interesting. I like hanging out with my best friends Jer, Chuck, Zach, Nicki, and Rusty although we don't get to as much as we used to since they became gainfully employed in other cities and states. Personally I prefer to keep things as simple as the situation would allow. Typically I'm a cynic with idealist hopes. Here lately I'm learning to worry less and living life more day by day than I used to. I am not religious, but I respect those that are able to have blind faith in things I myself do not have.

On that note I'd like to leave you with a few quotes that I like...

"The gun has played a critical role in history. An invention which has been praised and denounced, served hero and villain alike, and carries with it moral responsibility. To better understand the gun is to better understand history." ~Tales of the Gun - History Channel

"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded faith."

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Information Technology... This is Rob...

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Figuring problems out that interest me or plague my users. I've been told I'm quite good at photography, and have sold a few photos although I still only refer to myself as an amateur. I'm awesome at being a friend. The few I've got can trust me with their lives and know that I would give up mine for them without question.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I love to read. Typically I read technical manuals related to some interest I have at the time. In non-fiction I prefer to read about historical events/figures that shaped the world today, which usually leads me into trying to understand how the events or decisions that were made came about. As for fictional works I'm a bit picky, I have read every novel Tom Clancy has written.

I'm an avid movie viewer. I prefer action movies, "based on a true story" types, and documentaries. My favorite movies would be Shooter, Blackhawk Down, War Games, The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, and any James Bond movie. I secretly always wanted to be Q since that man made all the coolest accessories.

For music I mainly listen to country, but also I also like alternative, rock, techno, classical, and some R&B. It really depends on my mood. Some artists I like are Black Lab, Nirvana, Wagner, Beethoven, Little Big Town, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, George Strait, Audioslave, Hans Zimmer, KORN, Sarah McLachlan, Metallica, Toby Keith, Disturbed, Ted Nugent, AC/DC, Daft Punk, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Yael Naim, Bon Jovi, Merle Haggard, Stone Sour, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Staind, Chantal Kreviazuk, Hinder, and Chopin.

I like some Italian, a little Mexican, but typically I'm a meat and potatoes kinda guy. I love Applebees, Polos, and Outback with all my heart.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

The future, past, and present. My job entails quite a bit of worrying, and that seems to carry over into my personal life. So I wind up worrying about things an eternity down the road that I have yet any reason to currently deal with. I also play 'what-if' a lot with myself and my decisions.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At my apartment watching a movie, hanging out with friends somewhere, preparing to go hunting the next day, or down stairs hanging at my little sister's apartment with her and her boyfriend. Occasionally I have to work Friday nights since the last thing my boss would want is me bring the entire system down mid-work day.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Now that would just defeat the whole purpose of it being private now wouldn't it?
