I am laid-back, creative, and fairly awesome.

My Self-Summary

OK. Dammit, I hate writing. That's not part of my summary. I apparently joined this site in 2005, but this is the first time (2009) that I've done anything with my profile.

Let's see... I'm 23 (24 now I guess? I'm starting to forget, as I don't celebrate my birthday). I'm an employed fellow. That's always good, right? UH... I think I'm a good looking guy, and I am in pretty good shape, however, you may peruse my photos and decide that for yourself.

I am slightly artistic sometimes, when I'm not feeling lazy, which is a lot of the time. Most of my energy gets used up by work, and the remaining energy usually gets divided between working out, lounging around uselessly, and lounging around uselessly.

I'm not a crazy party guy, but I do like to have fun. I drink a tiny bit (I'm a huge lightweight), I don't smoke, and I've unfortunately never been high. I don't really care what you do, as long as you're not harming your health too much. I suppose you could call me "420 friendly."

Anyway, I hope that's enough uh... words. For my word box. Are we best friends now?

What I’m doing with my life

DAMMIT another box. Uh... What am I doing with my life? Does anybody know the answer to that question?? I thought I was on here to meet nice young women, but apparently I'm supposed to examine my life or have some kind of philosophical revelation.

OK, fine. Right now, what I'm doing with my life is trying to strike a balance between making a living for myself and having a care-free existence. I'm currently working a job that doesn't quite fulfill my life's ambitions (huge F-ing understatement), but it does provide a paycheck. In the future I may decide to go back to school and really try to pursue some of my dreams, but for now I'm just trying to enjoy life.

I’m really good at

Among other things, I am really good at drawing robots. That's one thing for certain. I can draw other things, of course, but little ballpoint pen drawings of robots on scrap paper are a forte.

I think I'm good at listening, although it does take some work sometimes. I'm good at getting the best possibly MPG out of my large, yellow Cadillac. I'm good at getting lost in Boise, even in areas that I supposedly know quite well. Lately I've also discovered that I'm good at getting pulled over by cops, even though I seem to be a pretty careful driver. I think I'm good at being courteous and thoughtful. I'm not going to say I'm good at sex, not because I suck at it, but because it's different with everyone, and everyone likes different things. I also try to be a good friend. Usually that involves gratuitously paying for other peoples' coffee, food, or movies. I tend to go overboard with that sometimes.

The first things people usually notice about me

Hmm... I'd like to say my biceps, but that's probably just wishful thinking. People probably notice my hair first. It's sorta light red, and an unruly mop lately.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I was going to copy and paste my exhaustive lists of favorite things from my Facebook, but it's probably better if I just list a few things for now.

A few of my favorite books are: Catcher in the Rye, American Gods, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and Neuromancer.

I have a ton of favorite movies, and my collection is growing all the time. I like a lot of sci-fi, a few indie and foreign films, the occasional thriller as long as it's not complete Hollywood bs, and sometimes even a romantic movie, if it's well done.

As far as music goes, I have a somewhat eclectic taste. Lately I mostly listen to post-punk, electronica, and indie. Some of my favorite artists/groups are The Jesus and Mary Chain, TV on the Radio, Pixies, The Cure, The Knife, Mount Sims, Fischerspooner, Goldfrapp, and Junior Boys.

The six things I could never do without

Ah man... The boxes never end. I can only choose 6 things? Physical possessions or what?? Ok... let's see...

6. My 1982 Cadillac Coupe Deville. (I'm not a gear-head or anything, but it's my baby)
5. My iPod. I can't go anywhere without it. I like having a soundtrack to my life, and podcasts save my sanity at work.
4. My wallet. I try to save my money, but I can't really go anywhere without spending a little bit.
3. My converse sneakers. I don't know why, they're just so sneakery.
2. Old friends. There are just some people that seem to stick around in your life, regardless of distance or how long it's been since you last saw them. Here's to old friends!
1. My family. As much as I want to be independent and carve out a path for myself in life, my family always has, and always will be there for me.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I spend a lot of time thinking about things I would rather not, like philosophical quandaries and whether I'm wasting my life at a dead-end job. I'd much rather think about Reese's Pieces or adorable puppies or sex. Although not all at the same time, I do not have a sexual fetish involving puppies or peanut butter candy, thank God.

On a typical Friday night I am

Unfortunately working (I work the night shift). But I have Saturdays off. On my nights off I'm usually up for anything. I love going to coffee shops (especially Flying M), going to movies, going to nice restaurants, going to 24 hour diners and dives (Merritt's, Piehole, Shari's), or just going on late-night drives with no particular destination in mind.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Hmm... I don't think I have any huge, musty, closet-dwelling skeletons to air out. I guess I'll admit that, for a guy, sex is fairly low on my priority list. I enjoy it of course, but I don't pursue it for sport like some people.

You should message me if

You should message me if you think I'm interesting, cute, or otherwise engaging in some way. I'm easy to get along with, a fairly good conversationalist, and I think I'm pretty good looking, if I may say so.
