It's very hard to gauge what I can write here without labeling myself as one thing or another. Seems like when you write something on the internet (especially about yourself), rather than simply losing substance, due to lack of tone/facial expression/etc, the words tend to take on a life of their own. Usually in a bad way. So the conclusion is probably minimalism.

About myself:

I like making things happen

I try to be honest when possible

Trying to be aloof, usually failing

Business...tech (but not some bs twitter/facebook thing)

Wishing I had more time to pursue my graduate degree in chemistry.

I also "manage" a "band" so I'm constantly asking bartenders to set up a night for them to play.

Pretty sure I am a vain son of a bitch at heart, so it would be healthier if I abstained, but let's just leave it at:

Billiards
***Update, I recently lost $1750 to a friend on a 1:350 bet in a russian billiards game that seemed impossible to lose (this was my 3rd time making the bet). Luckily the sum is only payable in 5 years, so I can still buy you a slice of dollar pizza, for the time being, without missing rent***

I'm Russian, but not in the "Gucci, buy you a gold watch and think of you as property" sense, just culturally.

For example: Joe Frank Radio- http://www.joefrank.com/listen.ph

I like singing and playing Russian music on guitar. I like listening to it as well.

Finally audiobooked Atlas Shrugged... if you are Dagny Taggart lets talk at least, one rarely meets women that like engineering.

I read a lot, lately in audio form (still stubbornly calling it reading!!).

Things I have and can share on google drive in exchange for msgs:

Sherlock Holmes complete set (you read it when you were young, but you didn't have an impeccable British man read it to you)
Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
Atlas Shrugged
Assorted Vonnegut
Sun also rises
Zolotoi Telyonak
At Home (actually awesome... Bill Bryson reads it himself)
Etc

Not my favorite books but awesome books very well read

1. Second chances
3. Outsourcing
5. audio books
6. Vysotsky

How things work (manufacturing processes, bee hives, polymers,etc)

How to make money without doing anything boring

Going fishing (mostly in the literal sense not in the literary one)

When drinking:

-Sometimes I also do regular things like drink 12 dollar vodka cranberries or wtvr.

-I'm a big fan of Mehanata (the bulgarian bar).

-Any night where I don't have to hear K$sha is already a cut above the rest.

When otherwise:

-Sometimes I'm managing Indians (update: and ukranians) on Odesk.com over my phone at the bar while occasional helping a friend throw some pointed words at girls or some pointed objects at a dartboard.

-Camping, etc

-Wasting a perfectly good friday

couldn't ask for more objective descriptions of me

I kind of despise television, and not just the kind you might despise but also netflix, hulu, etc. I guess such things are more enjoyable when you are warmly curled up with your favorite or even second favorite girl, but even at that point I don't have much patience for them.

You think here might be a conversation to be had in person... even if I'm not romantically interested me and my roommate are always looking to meet cool people in the area.

And here are some more reasons:

-You are sick of guys refusing to laboriously explain, with wild gesticulation, the function of mundane pieces of technology that you have always taken for granted. I'm there for you in that department.

-whiskey

-[some generic dating site statement about having fun and being laid back], play chess, go fishing, depraved sex

I wonder if that last one disqualifies me from getting messages I would otherwise receive...have a sense of humor, girls.

If you think science is boring, we will probably have to stay "activity partners."
