Me in a nutshell� eh? ^_~

I'm a genuine, sincere, and honest guy. I'm also a huge goofball. I really care about people, and I do my best to help people around me. Nothing makes me happier than to inspire and motivate the people in my life. I'm very loyal, and I care deeply about my friends and family� I'd pretty much do anything for them. I tend to mostly be a people person� I like to meet new people and try new things� but sometimes I need alone time to recharge. I can be pretty shy when I first meet someone, but it doesn't take me long at all to warm up.

I majored in Philosophy in college, so I REALLY love to have deep conversations! I'm a good listener too. I'm very open about myself and my life. I don't believe in holding grudges. I'm big into communication� if I have an issue with someone or something I am quick to resolve anything and everything. I consider myself driven and proactive. I had my own business for awhile, and even though it didn't work out� I am grateful for the experience. It's hard sometimes, but I try and learn from my failures / mistakes. Along those lines, criticism is something I am open to� if someone gives me free advice on how to improve myself, why not take it? Haha, and by criticism I don't mean insults� haha� good criticism!

I love to laugh� and I have a uh� �unique� sense of humor. Not too many people laugh at my jokes because they're pretty corny. =P Usually people just poke me when I make a bad joke (I am fiercely ticklish� a thing that people really take advantage of� haha ^_~)

Music is really important to me. Pretty much anytime I am driving or at home alone I am listening to music. I really love Techno and Alternative the most� but I will listen to just about anything. I know it sounds corny� but I think of music as poetry of sound� expressive, full of emotion, influential� yay.

People who are judgmental, ignorant, and selfish really frustrate me. People who are driven, passionate, fun, charismatic, and kind are awesome.

Ok ok, I'll admit it� I am kind of a geek. I like computers, I'm into scifi a bit, I like to learn. It's all good though� I'm well rounded.

Love. Ahh yeah. I'm looking for love for sure. Sadly, I've never really been in love� not that I haven't tried! At this point in my life, I really do want to meet a girl that I fall in love with� and she with me. I want to make her happier than she's ever been� and that alone will make me very happy. Along those lines� relationships. I believe in equality, understanding, and communication in relationships. I have no attachment to gender stereotypes. I'm all about affection, passion, understanding.

I do my best to have a positive outlook on life even when it's impossibly hard to do so. I'm a firm believer that negative thinking can spread like a disease. I am a bit of a dreamer at times. I've got a pretty beefy imagination. I like reading, but I just never have as much time to read as I'd like.

I have a bit of an adventurous side. I've gone skydiving, rock climbing, and rappelling. I LOVE jetskiing! I really love Cedar Point� haha, except that sometimes I get a little motion sick� but eh� oh well! I enjoy traveling� seeing new places, meeting new people, etc. I'd like to travel around the USA and the world at some point. Usually I'm stuck in Michigan though� baah.
