I am sarcastic, sarcastic, and redundant.

My Self-Summary

I'm reasonably smart, witty, and a little on the sarcastic side.

I go to the gym approximately 2. 57 times a week, not because I enjoy it particularly, but I enjoy the results and feel so much better being in shape instead of being pear shaped, lol.

I'm pretty competitive and like to win... and if you beat me I will pout for a little bit, but quickly get over it. I like almost any "bar" game... pool, darts, foosball, air hockey, basketball thingie, etc.

I really like playing Texas hold 'em poker. I love the social aspects of the game; the skill, intuition and luck keep me coming back for more.

I like to go golfing occasionally... ok, I don't really like to golf. It's more about having a few beers, driving a little cart recklessly, and swearing at a little white ball while relaxing in a nicely landscaped setting.

What I’m doing with my life

I do techie/web Chandler Bing type stuff for statewide non-profit organization which pays the bills and keeps the soul relatively intact. I only consider myself half sold-out to "the man".

I'm building up a repertoire of stories, life experiences, and non sequitors to form some form of novel, screen play, or stand up act. Eventually... maybe. I'm the writer type who hasn't written shit (lately) ;)

I’m really good at

Making people laugh until their drink squirts out their nose.

The first things people usually notice about me

My eyes... and my sparkling personality... then my butt ;)

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love spicy food: Mexican, Sushi, Thai, & Indian. I also enjoy All-American fare like burgers, steaks, and BBQ. To top it off I have an insatiable sweet tooth.

Bands: Gn'R, Radiohead, Beatles

Don't watch much TV but like: Family Guy, True Blood, No Reservations, man vs food, random travel channel shows, and 3 sheets.

Favorite books/authors: Currently reading, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" Recently re-read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Vonnugut & Bukowski... do love more pulp/pop stuff like Stephen King, Dan Brown, & those damn Twillight books. Also like Chuck Klosterman, Chuck Palahniuk, and Malcom Gladwell.

Movies: Love Quentin Tarrantino films. Actually like most *good* flims. If someone is to formulaic or cheezy, regardless of genre, I won't like it. Just saw "The Invention of Lying" and really enjoyed it. A bit of a geek so of course Star Wars and LoTR... I never collected comic books but do enjoy a good comic book film adaptation (dark knight, watchmen, etc). Really like Coen brother films (burn after reading, I *LOVE* Big Lebowski, etc)

The six things I could never do without

still working on this list (but here's a rough cut in no order):

good friends
the interweb
good food
beer/wine
music/books
sex --> (actually that comes off a little more crass than I intend, maybe physical affection would be more accurate)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

whether or not I've reach 1000 words in my profile so that I can get to the mythical 90% completion achievement in my OK Cupid profile. Dammit, still not there. I'm pretty verbose and find it hard to believe I am NOT at 1000s words yet. What do these OK Cupid profile nazi's want from me?! The old man and the sea?! Who would actually read 1000 words in a profile? We'd have nothing to talk about in person? My whole profile as it is, is only about 500 words...

UPDATE: AHA! Success! 90% profile completion -- I can now remove the cruft!

UPDATE: FAILURE: You can't temporarily bloat your profile to 1000 words get to 90% then remove the crap... :( I'm back at 85% unless this rambling put's me over the top. What? Don't judge me! We all need goals in life.

UPDATE: SUCCESS again, that last ramble put me over the top. 90% completed. Next up suggesting a profile question, hmmmm...

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

You can ask me pretty much anything in person (and probably *alot* on chat) and I'll answer honestly. I don't feel the need (at this time) to publish my misadventures at this time ;) Quid pro Quo, Clarice!

I do mention a few things in my journal entry ^^^^^

You should message me if

You're of at least average intelligence, have a sense of humor, and are not easily offended.

If you're smart, sexy, and sane. I seem to attract the first two, which makes life interesting at least (well message me anyway... 2 out of 3 isn't bad) ;)
