I've created a profile here because I'm awesome. No really, it's true. Sure, I've got some quirks, but for the right person I'm like baby bear's porridge. Juuust right. I may not be the right guy for you, but you'll never know until you read further. So here's a bit about me.

I'm adaptable and I tend to go with the flow. I'm a low maintenance guy who's all about happiness and contentment, but I'm also interested in trying new things or going on random adventures. To me, an adventure could be anything from finding a new interesting place in town, getting lost on purpose (in the woods, on the roads, whatever), or even watching a movie I'm pretty sure I won't like. I smile a lot and tend to be an optimist. I am honest sometimes to a fault, but on the flip side I'm trustworthy and am trusting unless I'm given a reason not to.

I'm a pilot in the Air Force, and while I'm proud of what I do I hesitate mentioning it because I don't want to be defined by it. Still, it's a part of who I am and if it's going to come up eventually, it may as well be now. I enjoy traveling both for work and for pleasure, and don't mind moving around.

In my free time I like to play my drumset (sometimes with a band), play video games(anything from Wii to Starcraft), and to hang out in causal places so my friends and I can have a decent conversation, or light hearted debate. I like swing and salsa dancing, although I'm not very good at either. I like road trips (even for no reason than the journey), going to the theater (wanna see a play?), catching a local artist at a concert (know of any good shows?), seeing movies (the new Warren is pretty sweet, but so is the dollar theater), and catching the occasional Blazers game. I apparently also enjoy over-using parenthesis (did you notice?).

My sense of humor is one of the lame variety, and I still sometimes think "Why was six afraid of seven?" is a good joke. If you think that's amusing you should tell me one, or ask me my rope joke, it's great.

While I would really dig finding a date, I'm just as open to meeting new friends. If you don't mind a few odd questions and can speak/type intelligently with some sort of grammatical accuracy I'd bet we'll get along swimmingly. As for a date, I'm looking for someone who can be comfortable with themselves, and someone I can talk about anything with.

I fly planes, and have a pretty good time doing so. I have a computer science degree, but haven't really done anything useful with it since I graduated.

Avoiding answering questions when I want to, and asking random questions at random times. Though my memory fails me in many ways, I'm pretty good at identifying movie quotes. I'm actually good at remembering a lot of random facts, as long as they aren't too important q-: I'm a pretty decent drummer, and I'm better than I want to be at procrastination.

I'm told I have kind eyes and a cute smile.

Books: Most books by Stephen King (especially the Dark Tower series), Angels and Demons was pretty good, Ender's Game (and following series), 1984, Frank Herbert's Dune books, Candide by Voltaire, anything by Dr. Seuss or Douglas Adams, The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, The Count of Monte Cristo, hummm... Mayhap I need to read more books.

Movies: Depends on my mood, I tend to see a lot of movies. Anything from The Crow to Happy Gillmore, from Princess Bride to The Shawshank Redemption.

Music: I'm not a fan of most country, but otherwise I have wide and eclectic tastes. I like Smashing Pumpkins, Dr. Dre, Debussy's Clair de Lune, George Thorogood, Benny Goodman, Coal Chamber, The Beatles, Daler Mehndi, Aphex Twin, Tool, Weezer, The Cure, John Williams, Jeff Buckley, Rasputina.... I dunno, that's a good start. I love going to live shows and supporting local music.

Food: Not a huge fish fan, although I do enjoy shrimp. Anything else I'm game. I really dig Italian. I like going out to eat at nice places, but when I'm by myself I tend to either make a quick ham sandwich at home or get fast food.

Life in all it's mysteries. I'm told that at times I ask a lot of questions and that I overthink things, but I think an examined life is a more interesting one. I wonder how people make the connections they do in their life, how people can see the same thing in a different light. I try to see through others eyes, even if I don't agree.

Like most, I wouldn't say I have a 'typical' Friday. I've enjoyed going out to grabing a pint with friends, cut a rug/ flailed around looking silly at a club, and gone out or stayed in to watch movies. I've played semi drunken pool/bowling, and I have just chilled on the computer chatting with friends, getting lost in Wikipedia, and playing games.

Last weekend I had band practice, watched a hockey game, went out to a jazz bar with some friends, then came back to my place for some video games. The next day I had band practice with another band, watched a friend compete in a roller derby bout, and then went to the after party to say hi. Nothing is typical, but that's far from strange.

I like girls.

I intrigue you.
