Born to a half-Filipino father and a mainly Scotch-Irish mother, I used to have copious amount of hair on my head. Now, that hair has migrated to my chin. It's glorious, that beard is.

Part of me was going to write a list of pros and cons but in the end, I figured that what might be a pro to one person might be a con to another. I do like making lists, though.

I'm one of the most competitive people that I know. That's not to say that I'm some asshole bent on stomping people into the ground with everything that I do, but I generally like to compete with people. Whether it be board games, sports, video games, or anything else that you can somehow make into a competition, I just like the challenge. Some people get it. Some people don't. I'm an unhappy but gracious loser. If I do lose, I generally expect a rematch.

I'm looking for new friends, people to banter with or people to otherwise waste what little spare time I might have with.

I admittedly enjoy looking through peoples' profiles, have been known to use the star rating system for absolutely no logical reason, and am quite forgetful. This means that there's a likelihood that I might look at your profile multiple times. I apologize in advance.

Being the happiest cynic you might ever meet.

Trivial Pursuit, procrastinating, being a father, bobbing my head along to great music, proofreading, flirting, drinking rum, being a geek and thinking too highly of my own abilities.

That my genetics cursed me with a bubble-butt. That I have a beard. That I have robots tattooed on my right forearm.

Books: Usually anything by Tom Robbins, Augusten Burroughs, Palahniuk, Bukowski or David Sedaris. I also enjoy Chuck Klosterman and I have a special place in my heart for the geektastic Robert Jordan.

Movies/TV: The Mighty Boosh, Coupling, Spaced, Let the Right One In, pretty much every decent zombie flick ever. Amelie, American Beauty, Au Revoir les Enfants, Best in Show, Boondock Saints, Breakin', Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Children of Men, City of Lost Children, Dancer in the Dark, Delicatessen, Donnie Darko, Evil Dead (all of them), Harold and Maude, Human Traffic, Pi, The Professional, Requiem for a Dream, The Royal Tenenbaums, Science of Sleep, Secretary, Shaun of the Dead, Stranger Than Fiction, Trainspotting, Waiting for Guffman, Y Tu Mama Tambien

Music: I'm an indie electronic type of guy which stemmed from a lifelong love of synth pop, drum and bass and other such electronic music. Groups like Lali Puna rock my world. I apparently have a thing for Au Revoir Simone since I can't get "Anywhere You Look" out of my head to save my life. Really, though, I like good music. If it's good, I probably like it. I know that's incredibly vague, but for the most part, I have a pretty diverse collection of amazing music sitting here in front of me. Indie hip-hop is another love of mine. Needless to say, I'm a proud contributing member of KEXP and jam out to it every day here at work. Now that I've seen the Cure, Depeche Mode and am about to see Morrissey, my list of must-see concerts is growing painfully short. Here's a list of some of

Food: Spicy. Recently, I've vowed to start cooking more. This week's menu included making chicken adobo, bacon fried rice and sloppy joes from scratch.

1. Mental stimulation
2. Touch. I'm kinesthetic.
3. Family
4. Friends
5. Great music
6. Hot sauce

Granted, this list seems rather petty when I look at it, I think that the question lacks in its originality. Too binding. I mean, technically, I COULD live without the sense of physical touch, but quite frankly, tactile stimulation is just too wonderful of a thing for me to want to imagine living without. Just like bland food is too horrible of a thing to have to live with.

Monkeys. Rum. Monkey drinking rum. Robots and zombies. Monkeys fighting robots and zombies for rum.

sitting home and playing with the little one, planning on going out for a zombie walk on Saturday, possibly watching a flick or looking for an excuse to drink rum and eat cheese.

I try and go out to see as much live music as I can, but admittedly, it doesn't happen that often.

I am electro boy. I sing a lot. I'm not very good at it, but I find myself singing random songs about just about everything over the course of the day. Vastly amusing to the little one. Sometimes amusing to people other than the little one. Either way, I'm wacky. Silly. I'm not afraid about being embarrassed, I suppose.

If you're scrumtralescent, too.

However, if you consider yourself religious or conservative, we're not going to get along. So if you're not either of those things, we might just get along. If you're liberal, open-minded, bored or curious, there's a good chance that we'll get along. I have the wonderful opportunity to work at home during the day, so sometimes I get bored. Help entertain me!
