I am Random, Chill, and Creative.

My Self-Summary

I'm 26 years old looking to let loose and enjoy life again; to let life come to me naturally, rather than force it. I am an educated, well-rounded individual who knows a thing or two about everything. I am a random guy who could one day pick you up and have an interesting, fun evening and be the life of the party but the next day be as tired as anything and just want to engulf myself in pillows. I enjoy being silly; life should only be taken seriously when it needs to be, other than that you'll most likely catch me singing Madonna's "Who's That Girl?", pointing out sexual innuendos in any conversation, talking like a four year old and being extremely playful. But don't let that turn you off because I can also be gentlemanly, classy and very mature.

I love music; I play guitar, write songs and perform with my band. I could talk all day about music, it is my #1 passion. I love being with new people and experiencing new things -- especially if I connect with a person in a certain way, in which I can be myself. I graduated with a background in Architectural Technology, and currently work as an Architectural Stone designer. Next to my passion in music, discussions about designing homes, architecture and building systems are topics that I enjoy as well.

I'm a laid back guy, with a sense of humour. I can be a great friend. You just have to experience me to know me.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm changing it. That's what..

Over the past 3 years, I've really come into my own. I've found out who I am and what I'd like to do with my life socially and in my relationships. I'm doing things now, that I never thought of doing before, and I'm shedding some old habits.

I've set personal goals for myself in the second half of 2009 in which I hope to achieve. It's an exciting time for me right now after being in the gutter for almost 2 years.

I work, and take my job seriously. However, that won't stop me from having a night out if it presents itself to me. I play in my band, and love the release that playing music gives me. I love having a good time, with whoever is around me.

I’m really good at

Playing guitar: I've been playing since I was about 12, a self taught guitarist. Wanna hear a song? I take requests.

Writing songs: I currently write songs for my band, and have been writing songs since my late teens. I guess it's a gift that was given to me from listening to music in class, instead of doing my homework!

Drawing & Design: I was once a very good sketch artist, while I'm sure I still have the talent, I haven't drawn anything in 7 years. In high school I made the switch from Art to Architecture and have a very good working knowledge of residential design.

Other things I'm good at include:

Bad jokes, sarcasm, driving, putting things together (being handy), thinking ahead, saving money, cooking (even if it turns out bad), quoting The Simpsons from the top of my head, and other useless talents.

The first things people usually notice about me

My smile, I guess... when I do smile! :D

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I'm not really a book reader but the books I did read, I enjoyed very much, and they include: Ghost Rider, Tuesday's With Morrie, The Iliad, The Oddessy, The Book Of Secrets and The Divine Comedy.

Movies: I really like alot of movies.. I'll watch pretty much anything. I do enjoy comedies and drama's mostly.

Music: Incubus, Rush, In Flames, Mastodon, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Third Eye Blind, Stone Temple Pilots, Katatonia, OSI, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Hoobastank, Magic Numbers, Portugal. The Man., Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork. Necrophagist, Paramore, Does it Offend You, Yeah? Metric, MGMT, Cut Copy, Junior Boys, Crystal Castles, La Roux, Lo-Fi FNK, Klaxons, Depeche Mode, New Order, Duran Duran, all kinds of 80s, hip and electronica.

Food: Italian and Greek - but I'll eat anything that smells good. :D

The six things I could never do without

1. My Family
2. My Friends
3. My Health (mentally & physically)
4. My Guitar(s)
5. My Randomness
6. My Car/Keys/Cell Phone.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Everyone else and everything around me.

On a typical Friday night I am

I'd love to write "there is no typical Friday night" however, alot of the times, I'm not able to go out an experience different things, most of the time I end up staying local.

Ideally, I'd love to be doing something different each and every Friday night.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I watch "What Not To Wear" and "Style By Jury" secretly, then when someone enters to the room, I quickly change it.

You should message me if

You like what you read.

You want someone you can call and shoot the shit with, and hang out with.

You want someone who knows the city well.

You want someone who you can jam with, or go to an open mic with.

You want an awesome friend.

:)
