I tend to have an optimistic view in life. Plus an overactive imagination, I sometimes keep this to myself, but sometimes, I just can't resist. I can go from shy to super outgoing without any rhyme or reason, although I usually love meeting new people and can get hyper when I'm comfortable. I, um like like movies, I'm sure I would be down to take long walks on the beach if that is your thing, although it's not something I tend to do often.

I am happily married to Mandaryn, She is seriously awesome, If women are more your thing, you should totally check her out. Right now our family consists of 3 cats; if they would actually get along they would probably build an army of kittyness that would rule the world. Instead though, one just sits around like Jabba the Hut, the other one sings, and the third one is a kitty supermodel. Hopefully our feline overlords will grant me a small island or something.

******* Disclaimer *******
I am married and in a poly relationship. I realize that most people aren’t. I’m not going to try to move people over to the dark side or anything. Unless you mention being open to this on your profile, I will just assume you are not. So if I actually message you, it’s probably more in a friendship way and not some sinister plot to text my way into your pants.

Mostly working out how to best improve it. Right now I am doing a small interpretation of a headless chicken as I juggle a few work projects, Studying for a technical certification that 99% of the people reading this won't care about, being woefully unprepared to spend a week out in the desert, and also giving a panel once I am out in said desert. The more I dive in though, the more I'm feeling like I got this. But sometime the panic button likes to blink a little.

Other than that I am trying to make it to the Gym a few times a week, occaisonally get into cooking fits, Trying to get my motorcycle registered so I can take a ride, and am seriously considering helping out being a Ref for my wife's Roller Derby league if I can work the schedule right. Since I can be shy and introverted at times, I have been working to challenge myself socailly and try to get involved with the poly/non-monogamy community and just get out to more events.

I am one of the co-hosts of the San Francisco Under 40 Poly Coffee Social. The event is held every third monday at 7:00pm at Wicked Grounds. The event usually goes on until Wicked Grounds closes for the evening and is basically a great place to hang out with poly people. The makeup of the crowd is always evolving, but always awesome.

Finding an excuse to break into song. Although it doesn't quite happen all the time, and if I don't know you very well, it might not happen at all. But I like to make up songs about whatever random situation I'm in, or my cat's, or nothing in particular. I will probably never be up there with Freestyle Rap artists, but it's fun.

I have a ton of things that I have been trying to get better at and get more into. Unfortunately procrastination is something that I am VERY adept in. I’ve been told I’m good at dancing too, although really I don’t have a clue as to what I am doing. I want to work on my cooking skills more; I can do some basic things rather well, weird things can sometimes cause me grief. I can sear a mean steak, but I can mess up Mac n Cheese. I am currently working my way to unraveling the mysteries of frozen pot stickers.

There are work related things I am good at too, but I don’t think computer dorkyness is going to score me any points on a dating site.

Most likely the fact that I carry around a notepad and rock a lab coat, so that I can ask strangers what the first thing they notice about me, then I tally it up, and post the data on dating sites. I honestly have no clue what people notice about me.

Let me check: *asks room* everyone has puzzled look on their face, they slowly come to the consensus that it is my T-Shirts usually hailing from shirt woot, or threadless that they notice. My wife says it's my charming brown eyes. I suspect she's just trying to say that to butter me up and put something more physical about me on here. I have a septum piercing that usually gets noticed when I actually have it in. At some point I will likely have some very nerdy Tattoo, but I still need to draw it out.

TV:
Dead Like Me, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, Party Down, The IT Crowd, The Soup, Daily Show/Colbert Report, are some of the shows that come up at the top of my head. I do have a guilty pleasure of some anime series from time to time.

Movies:
Idiocracy, Saved, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, Anything Mel Brooks, Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, Pixar movies (although I haven’t seen anything Toy Story), the Alien series, The occasional guilty pleasure involving things blowing up. I'm not really a movie snob, I can enjoy things for what they are, Don't care if it stayed true to the book/comic/scratch paper, and I understand that robots blowing the crap out of each other is not the height of intelligent cinema. If you want to watch a movie with me, I will most likely be willing to see it.

Music:
Industrial/Goth, Synth-Pop ( I have a weak spot for Depeche Mode, New Order, and The Pet Shop Boys, as well as newer stuff such as Freezepop and Ming & Ping, Cheesy simple beats and bleeps really get me all giddy! ) Trance ( Dj Doboy Mixes are my favorite ), 80's, Ska ( I for some reason believe that many problems can be resolved by simply listening to more Ska ), Punk, Alternative, I do also have weak spots for 80’s and early 90’s rap, Comedy music groups as well. I feel that I need to throw out the Aquabat's out there as well.

Books:
I have been reading way too many Technical books, and Schoolbooks lately. The last thing I read was World War Z. Once I get into a book it will suck me in, the main problem, is finding the book to get into. If you have a suggestion for me, I would be open to checking it out.

Food:
I love good food, and have been starting to get into beer more. Wheat Beers and Framboise are some of my favorites, but I have been getting into darker beers as well. (I blame my wife, who will blame her boyfriend. It’s a vicious cycle.) The Pumpkin Ale at BJ's is one of the most amazing things to enter my mouth.

I love Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Indian, American, Tapas, Fast, Fancy, "Lets see what happens when I throw a bit o this an' that together", the main thing I'm not a big fan of is fish. I don't know, a giant trout probably took my lunch money or something.At some point this year I want to try to pick 1 month and be Vegetarian for that month. I am not really sure why the heck I am doing this, as I love meat more than I even like dessert. But I think it's more to challenge myself and force myself to think creatively about one of life's biggest questions: "What the heck do I want to eat?"

Love
Good Friends
Good Food
Sense of Humor
Internet ( Keeps me occupied AND employed, what a value! )

oh and dihydrogen monoxide

6! ah! ah! ah!

I also spend a bit of time thinking about what would happen if a giant race of string alien's came to rule the world and it was up to the feline population to play and eat them into submission.

My likelihood of learning an instrument so I can recruit a band to follow people around and do theme music. and seriously, wtf kind of theme music would I have anyway?

I also think it would be funny to see real life bust out into a musical. Bonus points if everywhere I walked, people just started breakdancing, and there might be glowsticks involved.

How do you blind someone with Science?

Whatever song is stuck in my head.

Also Glitter Zombies

Probably either at home doing schoolwork, hanging out with some friends playing Rock Band with Chickens, or getting a beer somewhere, at the gym, or clicking around on the internet.

Yup, I’m a wild one.

I'm not going to spew out a bunch of random unprovoked confessions about how when I was 2 I accidentally broke pandora's box and unleashing evil upon the world and royally pissing off my parents. ( Evil makes a stain on the rug, who knew! ) But If there is anything you want to ask, I am generally pretty honest and straightforward.

You don't want to, and you're susceptible to reverse psychology!

You feel that we are either a good match, or could be good friends. No seriously! Friends are awesome!

Enemies might be fun too, we can create robots and battle them, and every day have some sort of epic battle where nothing actually ever get's resolved, but one of us shouts "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!" I'm pretty sure the hate sex could be pretty epic too.

If you own a motorcycle, it would be cool to go on a ride.

If you get stupid songs stuck in your head, are sarcastic, funny, nerdy, and have a mostly positive outlook in life, I think we would get along just fine.

You read that part that I am already in a relationship, I'm not going to do any sort of sneaking around or anything along those lines.

You are bored, and feel like talking to me.
