I am outgoing, funny, and honest.
My Self-Summary
I have a very outgoing personality, and my friends describe me as
friendly, honest, and funny. I'm the kind of person who strikes up
conversations with people on the bus or the Metro. I like to find
humor in everything. I enjoy making people laugh.
I keep myself bus with various hobbies. I've been playing
guitar for a couple of years
now. I like going to open mic night to hear local music and meet
musicians. I started playing at local open mics at Arts Cafe and
Grumpy's this year. It's a blast!
I'm also
cooking
and
baking. I have
perfected a butter chicken recipe. I bake a mean batch of ginger
cookies. I find it fun to put on some music and bake or cook. I
just need to add more recipes to my repertoire.
I started riding a
motorcycle again. I had a bike many
years ago. It feels nice to be on the road again and go for rides
in the nice summer Montreal weather (while it lasts!).
I like
photography. I just started taking a
photography class, which is a lot of fun. Send me a message and
I'll send you a link to my flickr stream.
I rock out at the
gym
a couple of times a week, and also
muy thai (kickboxing). I did some muy
thai when I was younger, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm enjoying it
even more now. Such a great work out, and I'm learning something at
the same time!
I'm also a modern day geek. I'm social and outgoing, but I also
like to geek out sometimes. I've built my own digital video records
and written a bunch of software. Lately I've been sticking to the
geek stuff at work and focusing on the photography and music at
home.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a software engineer at a company that I love. I can't imagine
ever working for another place. I enjoy my work a lot. It's like a
game or puzzle to me.
Although I enjoy work a lot, I keep a good work life balance. Gym,
kickboxing, photography, and guitar.
I’m really good at
Keeping a conversation going. I like going on adventures and having
a different kind of fun that people are used to having.
I'm good at almost anything to do with technology. I'm trying to
get good at playing guitar and taking pictures.
The first things people usually notice about me
Probably that I'm brown :)
People usually notice my outgoing personality and friendliness. I'm
not shy. I like to get to know people and share a laugh or a story.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I started reading "for fun" after university. The first book I read
was "Life of Pi." It was great! It really made me want to read
more. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Time Traveler's Wife". I'm
interested in anything to do with time travel, and it was a nice
love story as well. Yes, I liked "The Notebook" movie as well :P. I
enjoyed "Diary". I recently finished reading "White Tiger", and now
I'm reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.
As for movies, I've always been a big fan of the "Back to the
Future" trilogy. I like to have some silly movies around for when I
can't get to sleep, like "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Anchorman". I
like watching "Love Actually" on a rainy or snowy day.
I love "Arrested Development", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia",
"Family Guy", "Smallville", "The Office", "Dexter", and
"Californication". I'm a huge Superman fan. I watched all seasons
of Alias. I got to the point where I looked into working for the
CIA and CSIS.
I like to try all kinds of food. I like Indian, Ethiopian, and
Vietnamese.
The six things I could never do without
My brother (and the rest of my family!). He's been my best friend
for such a long time.
Guitar. I play almost everyday.
Hate to say it, but laptop/internet. My life has a lot to do with
technology. I enjoy it a lot. I don't need to be online all the
time or anything. I've gone weeks without sitting down at a
computer during vacations.
Camera.
iPod.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Not much. I'm pretty content with my life right now.
On a typical Friday night I am
Grabbing beers and dinner with colleagues or friends after work. I
like to socialize, but I also have moments where I appreciate some
solitude.
Exploring new restaurants or pubs is fun. I like to trade favorites
with friends. Take me to your favorite this week, I'll take you to
mine next week.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Well, I'm not sure if I'd really admit to anything too private to
people I don't really know.
But I can share somethings that some people may find embarrassing
(I don't get embarrassed too easily). I used to be a big fan of
Elvis Presley when I was a kid. I was also a huge Jewel fan in
middle school. I still dig their music, but their not my favorite
anymore.
