My Self-Summary

Hey, ladies [get funky]. I've lived in NYC for a little over 4 years. From FL, originally, and went to college/grad in VA and CA. Also taught English in Seoul, Korea for a year. I'm a big fan of the city. I like it even more since I moved from midtown to greenwich village a couple months ago. In general, i'm a very laid back guy. I'm pretty curious by nature and like to understand how everything really works. I watch/read a lot of news/politics, and also science-y,techy stuff. I'm not immune to reality TV, though. It sucks you in. I like seeing live music and my new neighborhood is great for that.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm an engineer at heart, but i work in finance now. I design and build systems to analyze risk of portfolios. I'm also building up a decent bonsai collection in my apartment.

I’m really good at

I'm decent at basketball. I played varsity in high school and have been on a weekend team here for 5 years. I can still dunk a basketball, too. This gives me great pride since I am white and 30 now. I've played guitar since i was 13 and pick it up most days. I also excel at games you do while drinking: pool, darts, bowling. I can also balance things really well on my finger. I have no idea why I have this ability, but it's been there since I can remember.

The first things people usually notice about me

kinda tall, i guess. I was at the Astoria Beer Garden a couple weeks ago talking to some strangers at our table for an hour. When I stood up for the first time, a couple girls were astonished how tall I actually was. The word "accordian" was used.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

All time favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Tool, Grateful Dead, Radiohead. I will say the same thing in 20 years, i'm pretty sure. Newer stuff: silversun pickups, santigold, battles, YYY, modest mouse. older stuff: cure, alice in chains, pearl jam, pixies, jane's addiction, phish.
I love documentaries. I rarely like hollywood movies anymore (except some comedies). I usually read books that i can learn something useful from (authors: Jared Diamond, Nassim Taleb, Noam Chomsky). I love mexican food and really good pizza.

The six things I could never do without

a guitar
celery + bluecheese
down comforter
frosty beer
flip flops
computer

I spend a lot of time thinking about

progressive politics
the universe (string theory, spacetime, relativity)
my next move
