I am eclectic, passionate, and witty.

My Self-Summary

I love traveling, drinking, music, food, and wine. I feel weeknights are under appreciated, so I make full use of them.

I appreciate people who are honest, caring, and have good intentions. I like girls that are smart, independent, and young spirited.

What I’m doing with my life

- Hoping to hit all 7 continents and 50 states
- Trying to deplete the earth of as many good bottles of wine as I can
- Playing bass guitar in a part-time band
- 16" Softball in the summer, volleyball in the winter
- Cubs games in the Summer, occasional Bears games in the Fall
- Regularly attending Concerts and Theater
- Designing software Mon-Fri

I’m really good at

- Picking the right wine, from the right region, for the right price
- Lightening the mood with a random comment
- Shopping online... the receiving room of my building gets frequent visits from me
- Computers... it's kind of an important thing to know in my career

The first things people usually notice about me

My height and my smile... both are usually present unless I'm sitting down and frowning.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Music: Bob Mould, Dr. Dre, Screeching Weasel, Bob Marley, Beatles, Coldplay, VNV Nation, Sublime, Less Than Jake, Bright Eyes, TV on the Radio, White Stripes, Skinny Puppy, Killers, Public Enemy and too many more to mention.

Movies: Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, Godfather I & II, Donnie Darko, Ali G Indahouse, Usual Suspects, 40 Y.O. Virgin, Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 2001, and so on...

Books: Currently reading After Sunset by Stephen King, other favs: Brave New World, God Delusion, Pagan Babies, Everything's Eventual, Sway.

Food: I haven't met an ethnic food I do not like. I usually get Thai, Spanish, Italian, Sushi, Mexican but I also enjoy Middle Eastern, African, South American.

The six things I could never do without

In no particular order:
- Wine
- Chicago
- Friends
- Internet
- My Music Collection
- Something to look forward to

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Politics... especially all the conservative faux outrage going on right now.

Music and whatever song happens to be stuck in my head at the moment.

Eating... yes, I usually have some thought process churning somewhere that is trying to figure out what my next meal should be.

On a typical Friday night I am

usually recovering from the weeknights, grabbing drinks after work, or going to check out a concert.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I've never smoked a tobacco cigarette in my life. This statement doesn't have anything to do with my thoughts about those who do smoke tobacco, but there is some hidden message in this somewhere... hmmm.

You should message me if

you've made it this far down in my profile and are interested.
