I am lions, and tigers, and bears. Oh my!.
My Self-Summary
hi, i'm Chris. well, let's see...
i'm pretty awesome. and humble... :D
i have a degree in Computer Engineering - yep, i'm a dork - and
will get either an MBA or JD sometime in the future. i'm also
(attempting) writing a book... though i don't really expect it will
ever be published, and maybe not finished at this pace..
i play hockey, volleyball, rugby. i was raised on hockey and have
been a Red Wings fan since birth.
i like when thunderstorms roll through this city and everyone is
shored up in their castles peering out their windows at the poor
soul, crossing the river flowing down the avenue, with secret
jealousy.
What I’m doing with my life
livin' it
i work in NYC doing things for a media / finance company and
thoroughly enjoy it, although i really like traveling and having a
job puts a damper on my freedom to do that.
i do my best to live vicariously through myself.
I’m really good at
thinking;
making people smile;
sports;
engineering things;
blowing your mind! (ok don't hold me to this)
The first things people usually notice about me
is that i'm fantastically tall, but i at least like to pretend
that's a good thing. i mean, pretty much all girls can wear heels
around me and will always look little... sweet deal, right?
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
books... i don't really have a genre prejudice; i like anything
that is interesting
movies... i like comedy and movies that involve spies. that's
it.
it didn't ask me about TV shows, but i like how i met your mother,
entourage, breaking bad, californication, the office
music... well i love music. right now, the killers are playing, but
i like pretty much everything but old country (the ones about
trucks, dogs, how his girl ran away with his dog and truck, etc)
and bad gangster rap.
food... i like new experiences and old favorites. there really
isn't anything i DON'T like... i'm adventurous, and i like people
who share my openness.
The six things I could never do without
hockey,
family and friends,
new acquaintances / experiences,
nature / thunderstorms,
my computer / the intarweb,
ari gold
i cheated with /. shhhh
I spend a lot of time thinking about
things that i don't understand, or things i can create.
On a typical Friday night I am
somewhere, probably beer in-hand, enjoying the company of friends
and perhaps strangers. there's also always the chance that I'm
being super-cool and relaxing at home.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
is that i'm on okcupid looking to meet internet people... the type
of people i honestly just don't like. i have faith that there's
some worthwhile people around here somewhere though :)
Note: okay, so several people have taken exception to my not liking
"internet people." let's clarify. this may not be you! (i hope it's
not if you are messaging me) this is the type of person that
pretends to be something they're not, gives off the vibe that they
just escaped from Arkham, really ingeniune, probably punches
babies, etc.
You should message me if
what i am really looking for right now is someone who loves the
Fall in NYC, and someone with whom i can have meaningful
conversations with. i feel like i spend too much time on mindless
fun these days, and really would like some balance back. i miss
being intellectually stimulated by people.
aside from that, i'm always looking for spectacular and random
people from across the world to talk with. i love experiencing
other cultures.
any combination of:
you have morals in some capacity
you are interesting
you want someone in NYC to adventure with
you want someone across the world to talk with
you love hockey, too
you are cute and/or elegantly gorgeous
you're tall and are willing to stand near me to make me seem normal
:)
you're a dork!
you have anything interesting to offer
you have a friend who has many of the above qualities that you
think i should meet :)
honestly, if you've gotten this far... you should just message me.
