Rauss! Achtung, baby!

This is where I'm supposed to go on about why I'm so wonderful, right?

I'm a generally upbeat, positive guy who tries to find the silver lining in any situation. That along with a sense of humor and seeing life as one really long class, I've found, gets you very far through life.

Physical activity plays an integral role in my life. I just can't make do without it!

I enjoy football, basketball, and racing.

I have a natural curiosity about how the world around me works.

I can get impulsive and restless from time to time. Sometimes I can be iconoclastic and anachronistic. I have little patience for flakes and fake people.

What about you?

I'm currently working a decent job to save up money to go back to school (movie reference anyone?) in a couple of years.

Eventually, I'd like to enter into some sort of spiritual counseling. I see a huge need for people to learn how to take back personal power in their lives.

Not taking things personally, playing chess, thinking and analyzing, being diplomatic, and enjoying the lighter, more joyful side of life.

My pretty eyes.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

The Big Lebowski, Back to the Future, The Usual Suspects, RoboCop, Office Space to name a few.

Even Stevens, Seinfeld, Two and a Half Men (with Sheen), older Big Bang Theory.

My favorite music tends to be older stuff ('70s, '80s, '90s), across a lot of genres.

Pizza and Chipotle.

Barbells, my adidas adiPower weightlifting shoes, motorcycles, Vitamin Shoppe, my friend Mike, and his daughters Amanda and Evelyn.

Which motorcycle I want to own next (pretty sure it'll be an R1), how strange the weather has been this year, how I can improve my snatch and clean and jerk (hey, look it up!), finding the right balance between thinking and doing, and how to get the most out of the limited time I have.

I'm working, making dollar bills, greenbacks, dividends!

My favorite color is purple.
