I am easy-going, reserved, and cukoo 4 cocoa puffs.
My Self-Summary
My name is Mike, and Im a bit of a geek.
Computers are my job, hobby, and one
of my main interests. Not that I base my existance solely on
computers or anything, they are just a big part of who I am. I can
enjoy a variety of activities, but some of my favorites are
driving, or
tinkering. This is my first foray into open-community dating sites,
so don't be too harsh!
What I’m doing with my life
Right now I'm finishing a 2 year degree in computer programming.
Once I'm done with that I hope to find a position with a large
company that will allow me to continue my education and get into
something like IT management, or computer engineering. Living in
rural Iowa is nice, but probably not the best place to be for
lucrative computer opportunities, so a move next year is not out of
the question. Other than school I do computer-repair freelance
work, and will be starting a help-desk job soon.
I’m really good at
Driving! (haha, probably thought I'd say Computers, didn't
ya?)
No seriously, I've never done any professional racing circuits or
anything like that, but I really pride myself on being a
safe/skilled driver. That being said, I would like to at some point
be in a intermediate type competition, like auto-cross. Right now I
just don't have the money to spend on the expensive tires and track
insurance.
The first things people usually notice about me
People usually don't notice me, when they do they'd probably find
I'm awkard at first around new people, but quickly warm up to them.
I have a very friendly nature once I know a person, and I love to
goof around.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I usually like non-fiction books the best, informational
reading. While I don't dislike typical literature, I really have to
be interested or driven to finish it.
Movies: My all time favorite movies are The Whole Nine Yards, and
Matchstick Men. I enjoy a good sci-fi or thriller, so I also
enjoyed:
I, Robot. The Matrix. and War of the Worlds (the latest). Going
back to the driving thing, the Transporter movies are up on my list
as well.
Food: I prefer keeping to typical meat and potatoes, but I do like
Chinese, Italian, and Mexican. Nothing too spicy, and no crazy sea
food. I could live on home-made canned corn, frozen peas,
frozen/fresh steamed green beans, and fresh steamed Broccoli
(with/without cheese)
The six things I could never do without
My Family, car, computer, and MP3 playing phone are big on the
list. A large trunk (ask me if you dare! ;-) and definitely my
bag-o-tools.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My future, and where I'm going to be. My present, and the things I
need to do to get where I want to go.
On a typical Friday night I am
At home doing homework. I know, I know, boring, right? Ah well,
I've partied enough in my past to last me awhile. That being said I
do like to go out, but I prefer a quiet bar where it's possible to
hold a conversation.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I get the heeby-geebies from spiders. Once I've seen it, it doesn't
bother me at all, but if one surprises me I jump away before I get
my wits about me.
You should message me if
You need computer help.... LOL! No seriously, if you think I'm at
all worth a quick message do it, you won't be sorry. I don't list a
pic online for various reasons, but if you'd like one send me your
email and I'll have no problem sending it.
