I am laid back, introspective, and honest.
My Self-Summary
Hi, I'm Seth.
I love to
game, watch movies, and discuss the intricacies of life. I'm a
gamer but I don't let it consume me. It was part of my career for
many years, and seeing it from the business side and development
side has given me a simple respect for it as an artistic form of
entertainment alongside movies and music.
I'm a
Christian
guy that knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that God exists, and
I hope to find a girl that shares the same beliefs. I also believe,
though, that my experiences are my own, and I don't impose them on
anyone.
I work hard, take care of my
dog Baxter, spend time with my
family, and play games in my
free time. I love movies, dabble in
photography, write music, and I'm
disinterested in most organized sports (except
golf; playing not watching). I can be
sarcastic at times, enjoy dark comedy, and I'm a little bit
misanthropic.
What I’m doing with my life
I work as a network IT professional for a large medical insurance
company. I love to travel but rarely find the time between work,
taking care of the puppy, and family events. I am hoping to visit
Japan sometime next year though.
Family is very important to me and eventually I would like to have
one of my own. My parents are divorced, but have been mature about
it and they get along in social situations. My Dad remarried 5
years ago to another wonderful lady, so family events are pleasant
and crowded.
I’m really good at
Over analyzing, digesting teriyaki, not doing lawn maintenance,
petting Baxter (he seems to like it anyway), golfing poorly,
rubbing feet
The first things people usually notice about me
The gadgets hanging off my person (I'm filling out this box from my
phone).
Either that or my aviator sunglasses. Why do people always comment
on aviators? They've been around for decades. Hmmm...
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books:
I don't read as much as I used to, but I did enjoy these.
*Ender's Game (orson scott card)
*Ender's Shadow (same author dude)
*Intensity (dean koontz)
*Anything Calvin and Hobbes (bill watterson)
Music:
I love European
symphonic rock. I believe that if
the great classical composers would have had electric guitar in
their day, it would have dominated a lot of their compositions.
String instruments belong in the genre. Most music I can appreciate
as long as it's original and actually composed by the artist (none
of that copy paste shit). I'm not a huge fan of country, but I
don't listen to it, so maybe I just haven't heard the right kind. I
do like
some
electronica though, mostly
progressive trance or
Japanese
sugar-pop.
*Within Temptation
*Nightwish
*The Gathering
*Apocolyptica
*Owl City
*Ruslana
*Sirenia
*The Lonely Island
*Flyleaf
*They Might Be Giants
*Smile.dk
*Sarina Paris
Food:
I love
Asian
cuisine.
Teriyaki is generally on my menu at
least once a week. I'm not picky about food really, as long as
whatever I'm eating isn't still alive. From
Italian and
Mexican to
Iranian and
Norwegian, I'm always open to
something new. My dads side of the family is very "down home"
though, so I also love thick slab of
prime rib and potatoes.
Movies: If I sat here and listed all my favorite films, it would
take hours. I really love all aspects of cinema and certainly enjoy
a good summer blockbuster, but generally I look for a film that can
move me in some way. I also really respect film makers that can
craft a terrifying experience without the use of CG. That's why I
love the older works of Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and John
Carpenter.

internet has supplied a solution to that though.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Life and why people
do what they do. Why I enjoy doing the things I like to do. What
makes us act the way we do. Why am I typing this right now...
Video game
theory, the evolution of gaming, and why the industry exists in
it's current state.
Space. The universe
is an incredible, violent, beautiful place, and when I step back
and realize how small we really are, it makes all of our
disagreements seem petty. Right now on Saturn's moon Titan, liquid
methane is raining down on the planet's surface. This process
continues day in and day out even though no one is there to see it.
Why is that?
On a typical Friday night I am
At work trying not to fall asleep.
If I wasn't working, my ideal evening would consist of curling up
with my dog on the couch with warm Japanese take-out, a good movie,
and a friend to share and discuss it with later. I'm pretty laid
back and love to just hang out, either at home, a park, or down by
the sound. I love the ocean. The calm brings peace to the fray.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
When alone, I can get choked up watching Scrubs.
You should message me if
...you're sick of drama and want something real. I'm as loyal as
they come. If you think we'll get along, let me know.
