I'm an intelligent, kind, witty, goofy and well rounded and grounded person.

I'm an introvert, occasionally shy.

I'm one of the most understanding and compassionate people I know. I don't believe in social type-casting or putting up any fake personal facades. I am who I am, and I like myself that way.

I'm very liberal, but politically open-minded. I'll listen to anyone's point of view.

I very well could be a pacifist.

I'm also a very mellow person. My moods are steady and rarely change without reason.

I'm a good friend of Mary Jane. I've found most people in my life accepting of that, which is good.

I've been struggling to find a sense of direction in my life, and lately I think I've found it. My passion is photography. Any sort. People, nature, industrial - I've done it all and I enjoy it all. I also enjoy poetry. Politics intrigue me as well. I'm one who doesn't struggle to play devil's advocate just to see two sides of an issue. I strive to always be open minded. I've always been afraid of missing out if I was otherwise. I'm also big into culture and history. I hope to travel virtually everywhere in the world by the time I'm too old to do so.

Considering photography school. In the mean time, I'm majoring in history. Chances are I'll be doing the latter, but I'd like to have something to fall back on. In the mean time I'm working my tail off to cover some bills.

I'm also working for an author friend on his fifth book. I do the historical research for his American Revolution historical fiction.

Photography. Poetry. The Internet. Negotiating. Getting along with people. I have a friendly demeanor. Dry, sarcastic humor.

I've been called "baby face" many times. I'm waiting for the time that looking young is an asset to me.

I'm an intellectual with a sense of humor.

If I'm speaking first, its usually something witty or sarcastic that comes out of my mouth. Or some random fact.

My dark features. Hair, eyes. My lips. Most people think I'm Hispanic. I'm not. I'm 100% white, actually. I prefer to call myself black Irish. If you know what that is, +2 points for you.

TV: Love the Office, Kings, Real Time with Bill Maher, George Carlin, Eddie Izzard, BBC America, The History Channel, Deadliest Catch, Seinfeld, Most Evil, and ghost stuff whenever its on.

Zodiac Unmasked: the Identity of America's Most Elusive Serial Killer by Robert Graysmith. The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald. Lord of the Rings, J.R.R Tolkien. Lincoln, Gore Vidal. 1776 David McCullough... the list goes on.

Once. Across the Universe. Spirited Away. The Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Garden State, O Brother Where Art Thou, Pulp Fiction, Gangs of New York. Waking Life.

I may very well bleed music, though I can't play a note. I sing to myself in the car pretty often.

I'm a HUGE music buff. I like most of it. I love going to concerts and festivals. Road trips with good music = heaven.

Lately I've been into the whole lounge and down-tempo movement. Mos Def, Immortal Technique, Pharcyde, Beat Assailant, Why?, Morcheeba, Sneaker Pimps, ZERO 7, Air, Arcade Fire, Beck, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Mark Ronson, Black Keys, Bright Eyes, Chromeo, Daft Punk, Fischerspooner, The Strokes, Interpol, Iron & Wine, Jet, John Mayer, Kings of Convenience, Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Pete Yorn, Pink Floyd, Portishead, Psapp, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Rilo Kiley, Ray LaMontagne, Smashing Pumpkins, Tegan and Sara, Royksopp, The Dandy Warhols, The Faint, The Postal Service, The Shins, Ulrich Schnauss, William Fitzsimmons, Thievery Corporation and a ton of new and old stuff that would be too cumbersome to continue listing.

Fruit. Love me some fruit. Grapes, apples, oranges, bananas - whole, divided, or blended. Its all good.

Oxygen. Water. Food. Shelter. Life. My heart.

Being optimistic, which I never was in the past. I've a renewed zest for life. I love living it, and you should too.

A lot of stuff. I come up with a lot of great photography ideas throughout the day.. but I don't carry a pen and a pad around with me, so I often end up losing them.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about why people act the way they do. Current state of affairs in the world. Where I'd like to travel to next. What I want to do with my life. That sort of thing. I'm an open mind, open to experiencing new places, things, and people.

Honestly? At a friend's house or at home. I don't do the clubbing thing. Not a slight to anyone who does. Just ain't my bag. The occasional comedy act or concert are always fun, though.

I'm an open book. I'm willing to admit a lot of private info. Just not en masse.

You feel like it? Find my profile interesting? Go for it. I respond to everyone. I always have a lot to say. I'm not here to find a soul mate, but open should the right person come along. I'm here to find friends. If something more comes of it, cool. If not, it's good to have a new friend. Who doesn't need friends?

I'm totally cool with OKC IMs. I have no problems receiving them.
