I enjoy activities such as wake boarding, reading, rock climbing, swimming, tennis, golf, mountain biking, skiing and I'm open to a lot of new things as well. I can also be one of the biggest nerds that you will ever meet.

I enjoy talking about what's happening in this world around us. I would also love to travel the country and the world because there are so many places that I want to see and things to do. I have a few trips lined up and hope to have plenty more.

I currently work for the Department of Defense and is the main reason I am in Chicago.

I just moved to the North side and am in the process of hopefully meeting new people and exploring the area.

I can also be incredibly sarcastic, blunt and like to think I have some wits.

I am looking for something to give my life meaning. Whether it's a job, volunteering, a person, or a completely spontaneous event.

The hardest part is waiting for life to develop. Learning to have patience is the newest lesson I'm trying to teach myself. I love my current job but I'm waiting for everything else to fall into place. I have a lot of ambition and always strive to keep progressing.

Having prolonged and seemingly worthless conversations with strangers. I love making people laugh and smile! :)

I carry myself to be somewhat shy at approaching people but have no problem actually talking to them after that.

I'm pretty adventurous and bold. I love to try new activities, travel and many of Chicago's fantastic foods.

Books: Me Talk Pretty One Day, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, The Mistborn Trilogy, The Road, The Night Angel Trilogy, Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet, Confessions of An Economic Hitman, the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, A Simple Plan, The Joke, Catcher In the Rye and etc.

Movies: My favorites include top gun, star wars, bigfish, garden state, the shawshank redemption, memento, taxi driver, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, fight club and a bunch of foreign films. The list goes on and on.

I have a huge passion for music. If there is a dull moment in a conversation and someone mentions music, i can talk for hours. Check this for what I listen to: http://www.last.fm/user/brienl That sums it up.

TV: arrested development, chuck, dexter, californication, the big c, how i met your mother, weeds, always sunny in philadelphia, the league, scrubs, the IT crowd and plenty more.

1)Ambition. I want to meet my full potential and not worry about giving up.
2)Respect.
3)Love. One day I'll find it.
4)Humour.
5)Family. I'd be a nutcase without them.
6)Failure. Without it, I would never value success.

If I'll find happiness and love in my life and when.

Just hanging out with friends doing various escapades. Sometimes I will hit up the gym.

I used to be a yo-yo performer and still do it for fun. Yes, I mean the toy! :)

You like to travel.

You're from the West or North side of the city and want to meet up. I would love someone to go explore Chicago's restaurants and parks with.

An extra plus if you enjoy abstract conversations and thinking outside the normal.

If you can tolerate my dorky and nerdy self. :)
