If adventure is the spice of life then call me Bhut Jolokia. Extra points for you if you didn't need to Wikipedia that, and even more points if you DID wikipedia that, and it started you off on a random wiki adventure for at least an hour where you learned 7 different new things. Its rather weird to write an essay describing myself, because for some reason i have this picture in my head of an old man bragging about his wealth and accomplishments to a group of twenty somethings in a club. Oh and if you are one of those twenty somethings that actually ends up with those old men, then please move on to another profile:-)

Public Service Announcement: You don't need to tell the world that...

I am attractive/A model/I go the the gym 5 times a week: People are going to make their own decision about how slim/toned/appealing they find you. You can't logic them in to thinking you're pretty.

I like hanging out with friends: Everyone likes hanging out with their friends. Try using your profile to talk about what makes you different from the rest of your gender.

I hate drama: Normal people just don't need to say this. Anyone who broadcasts to the world that they hate drama is really saying they're a drama magnet.

Why you are on okcupid: Yeah, we get it, you're too cool for the internet. You're only on here because of your sister/best friend/cat made you sign up...

I'm down to earth: okcupid is not a celebrity dating site, so you can't score points for not being arrogant and full of yourself.

Work at a Russian language TV station, and setting the stage for a grandiose internet business (it's good to have goals). I'd tell you what the internet business is all about, but i hang out with smart people, and smart people steal ideas :-) Also, i like to get into random shenanigans, be outdoors, watch mind numbing reality television and be very "tourist-y" around NYC.

Stuff that involve one thing strapped to each leg - ice skating, roller blading, skiing, etc. Not a big board person:-D Trying to learn random magic tricks, knowing way too much stuff on "trivia night", ice hockey, picking hangout spots (I'm the "organizer" for my group of friends)

People tell me i look like a random Baldwin brother. I'm also a good conversationalist, so don't be surprised if withing 3 seconds of meeting me we start talking about growing up in communist Russia

Books: Catcher in the Rye, 1984, a bunch of OJ Simpson books (obsessed with that as a kid), Crime and Punishment, Oblomov, Beatles biography, magic and hypnosis books, Sherlock Holmes collection.

Movies:Easy Rider, Edward Scissorhands, Never Die Alone, 400 blows, pulp fiction, Heat, Spiderman 2, Brat 2, Ice Harvest, Phone Booth, Midnight Cowboy,the Pink Panther series, Safety Last, Usual Suspects, Taxi (french version), American Psycho, Butterfly Effect, Star Wars, Empire. I also am a fan of terrible terrible movies cause they are SOOO much fun to watch - Sci Fi originals, You Got Served, Taxi (american version), Ghost Ship, Biker Boyz, Torque, 2 Fast 2 Furious, XXX, Empire. My local game store knows me as "the dude that loves to buy shitty discount movies".

Music: This is a tough one, for me, every type of music has its own appropriate mood and setting. That being said, i can truly say i listen to everything.

Food: chinese, mexican, russian..... heck just about every ethnic food variety.But there is one thing that trumps it all - the greatest american contribution out there - BBQ!~!!!

6? Well, it says "things", not people, and there aren't that many "things" that my life would suck without. But if i had to list 6 "things", they would be.

1. Shoes - in random climates and conditions - people need shoes to stay comfortable and not hurt themselves.
2. Communications infrastructure - i like to communicate:-)
3. Fire - for cooking things
4. Refrigeration - for storing things
5. Condoms - they just make life more fun
6. Modern medicine - because the plague is bad

The meaning of life, new and cool ideas. I have an overactive imagination, and i like to write down what i come up with in my so called "idea book". I love my idea book:-)

is there such a thing as a "typical" Friday night anymore? I'm always doing something different, but the one constant is that it almost always involves my friends or family and some sort of shenanigans.

As a kid i didn't cry when Bambi's mother got shot. But i cried a waterfall at the end of Terminator 2 when the Terminator killed himself, and gave one last thumbs up!

You stand out, can talk about random topics for hours, or can hand me a few losses in Street Fighter.
