Let's see...

Not much is as satisfying as the exchange of ideas on a topic, especially when it causes me or another to see the issue in a new light. I have no problem speaking my mind, and applaud those that are capable of having an informed discussion.

I'm generally a laid back person, but enjoy being active. I love to hike along trails and run in green areas.

Recently I've become an avid reader. However, I buy farrr more books in a month than I could read in six. It's a problem...

I'm working full time while I go to school.......full time. I've just started a masters program. I plan to teach.

I'm slowly but steadily getting in shape. I'm training for a marathon! Exciting.....

I don't have a lot of time for much else...

- Solving problems
- Hugs

Beyond that....who cares?

I tend to read non-fiction and historic literature, but occasionally pick up something people won't shut up about. I'm currently reading Kafka's The Castle and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.

Some of my favorite movies: The Virgin Spring, Brief Encounter, The Fountain, Children of Men, Oldboy, Brick, The Thing, and Doubt

I don't watch much TV... The Office, Game of Thrones, Workaholics, The Walking Dead, Sealab 2021, MST3K, etc.

Podcasts like Skeptoid and Point of Inquiry make my work nights fly by.

Lately I've been getting into bluegrass, but I also enjoy classical, alternative, a bit of jazz and kinds of pop. Some examples: Andrew Bird, Hiromi, Soundgarden, Billie Holiday, Rilo Kiley, RX Bandits, Dredg, Judgment Day, Youngblood Brass Band, Flobots, and Madeleine Peyroux.

I currently can't get enough of The Goat Rodeo Sessions....

I enjoy experiencing new foods, but tend to stick with Thai, sushi, and Italian. I'm a fairly healthy eater, and have been accused multiple times of snacking on "rabbit food".

Ways to improve myself

....and animals

On my way to work....

I talk to myself. Sometimes it helps me think. Meh.

you want!

I'd like to find someone that has a passion for learning, and is open and available to experience new things....but if you're as busy as I am and consider the perfect relationship consisting of someone you hang out with a few hours before you crash, we should be able to work something out. Also, not taking things too seriously is important.

Although I'm interested in a long-term relationship, developing a friendship or "special friendship" isn't out of the question.
