Well, I'm currently going to SIUC to study accounting. I'm a pretty easy going guy and I like to think that I'm down to earth. I love being with my friends even if it's just sitting around doing not much of anything. I'm really into sports. I play golf regularly and racquetball pretty often but I'm always game for some basketball, softball, football, or pretty much any other sport.

Some Things About Me:
--I love dogs. Getting to pet one for a while makes my day.
--I like to cook.
--I just graduated from SIUC with my bachelor's degree.
--I like to drive.
--I have a geeky side. I still own an original Nintendo and Super Nintendo and play them every now and then.
--I love movies and own a ton of them.
--I like trying new things and want to go skydiving or bungie-jumping sometime soon.
--I have a thing for good smelling stuff. My apartment has a lot of candles, a scented oil-burner, and lots of different house spray things from Bath and Body Works.
--I like having options in life, especially in the little things. I have lots of different scented candles because maybe one day I want my apartment to smell like vanilla but the next I want it to smell like coconut. Options are nice.
--I'm sarcastic. A lot of the time.
--I don't really fit into a specific group. I have a wide range of friends from geeky to hardcore party types. I'm pretty adaptable to situations and people.
--I can be a little bit shy at first. I don't usually make the first move (read: I probably won't send a message to you first). After I get to know people I open up pretty quickly.
--I like to cuddle.
--I like to read for fun. Dean Koontz is pretty much my favorite author. I also like Dan Brown and his books. The Harry Potter series is great and I've read it multiple times.

I'm currently going to grad school at SIUC to get my Masters of Accountancy degree. If things go according to plan, I'll be done in May 2010 and then I'll be off to St. Louis to start my career at a well respected public accounting firm. That's the plan anyways.

Whenever I'm not doing the work or school thing, I do the whole social-life thing. I enjoy going out to the bars or hanging out with my friends on the weekends. The nice thing about my schedule is that the weekend starts Thursday night.

sports, cooking, listening, and school. Basically things that I either love to do (sports and cooking) or things that I end up doing a lot (listening and school). If I want to learn how to do it or take an interest in it, I'll eventually get really good at it.

I usually get complemented on my smile or my eyes first, so I'll go with those. I have a lot of shorter friends and they usually comment on how I'm tall.

1) All the Harry Potter books, the Golden Compass series, anything by Dean Koontz

2) Boondock Saints, Tommy Boy, Superbad, Hitch, tons more. I have two DVD cabinets full of movies. I give a lot of different movies a chance.

3) Seether, Shinedown, The Fray, Blue October, Papa Roach, Matt Nathanson, Ernie Halter, Bascom Hill, All American Rejects, Dierks Bentley, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Frank Sinatra. Again, there's tons more. My 60 gb iPod is full of music. I give a lot of different kinds of music a chance too. I'm pretty open to new music. You never know if you're going to like it or not until you give it that chance.

4) Italian, BBQ, Sushi. I'm willing to try pretty much any food. I'm a huge fan of good food, fancy or not. The Food Network is on my TV a lot.

1) Computer/Internet - pretty much endless amounts of time-wasting fun
2) Blackberry - lets me stay connected to pretty much everything
3) Good Friends - always there for me
4) Laughter - without laughter, life wouldn't be the same
5) Sports - I have a slightly competitive side and I love watching them
6) My Car - I love my car

Future endeavors. Where I'll end up, at the very least for the beginning of my career, if I feel especially day-dreamy I'll wonder about where I'll end up later on. I also think about how everything works out in life and where I've been.

80% chance I'll be at a bar. The other 20%? I'll be at a friend's place or mine for a little party. Friday nights are always social nights. I have the rest of the week to take it easy and relax at home.

My name is Brad.

You like what you've read or what you see. If you want to know more, or if you'd like to!

Here's a tip: if you message me or IM me, don't sound creepy. Pretty common sense, but yet it happens more often than it really should.
