I'm John, I'm finishing up my bachelor's over at Eastern Michigan University. I'm also looking all about for jobs. (Michigan jobs aren't always available. So, I figured I'd cast a larger net and see what and where I can snag a job) I love languages. I'm a dork about that.

Other dork qualities of mine fall in art, art history, history (Slavic pre-reformation history in particular), politics, and whatever I find interesting that day. Oh, oh, oh! And martial arts!! I study Toshindo. (a form of ninjutsu. Oh and a late addition, I'm now a Blue belt) Hopefully that explains why in one pic I'm dressed like a ninja, because technically I am one. (a ninja being someone who studies ninjutsu) No, I don't LARP or game or go to conventions. People who do... well, good for them. I'm happy they have hobbies, I even have friends who do that stuff. It's just not my bag.

I'm also trying to get back into running... and I'm kind of looking for a running buddy. So, if anyone may be up for it, drop me a line.

Like I said, I do graphic design, I'm a senior at Eastern Michigan University. I'm checking out grad schools for graphic design and art history. I eventually want to be a professor of graphic design or art history..

I just like just about everything.

here we go, I could never do without:
my art/ my design, it's the driving force in my life right now.
my family, they've always been there for me
my drive/ my inspiration, I could never settle for good enough.
my martial arts, it's helped to me to grow as a person
learning, I can't imagine not being able to learn and grow
my friends, times to unwind, let loose, enjoy worry free

Ok, I spend a lot of time thinking about my future, my goals.

Graphic design, martial arts, art, politics, how to make the world a better place(as dorky as it may sound)

More often than not, I'm typically at home working on some of my designs. I do like to go out to the pub or whatever.

When I was a kid I thought I could fly... (it's painful when you find out you can't)

If you'd like to get to know me a bit better. If you'd like a running partner, if whatever.... if you feel like it.
