Hello, my name is Pat Murphy. Currently, I am 25 years old. I live in Fort Wayne, and actually like it here (shocking huh?) Most would describe my personality as pleasant. At times I can be shy and reserved; but overall I hope to be a known as a decent guy.

I'm about 6'2, and 180 pounds. Not quite muscular, but not quite obese either. My hair is about a medium brown with a curl as it lengthens. At best, I will get described as "cute" by some; but never usually beyond that classification.

My interests are literature mainly. My major was in English; but it is also my passion. I also enjoy theater and musicals; although I am usually to shy to actually perform. Occasionally, I fancy myself as a writer, although I don't pretend to be highly skilled. Poems, and very short stories are typically works that I write. basically i am a huge nerd!

I love passionately to go on daily walks, and hiking, and kayaking whenever I can get away to a decent park. I sometimes worrying that I'm like a dog, and if I don't get walked daily I become restless. That was a joke by the way, my humor can be dry like that; and riding my bike as often as possible is pretty sweet as well. always up for a good biking pub crawl (our record so far is 11 bars in one day,but someday..........)

My sport is golf, although I do enjoy watching the occasional football game when the season turns. im trying to turn myself into a runner and hit 5k's couple times a week,but my genetics are not quite in my favor. working out is a small obsession of mine. Notre Dame Football, it's sort of a family tradition.

working for coporate lutheran doing there government billing crap. and please don't be fooled, it is as boring as you think, but pays the bills for now.

im just starting grad school. masters of healthcare admin, so yeah my free time is dwindling

generally, enjoying my life as much as plausible

Listening and patience. I'm good at being an empathetic shoulder to people's problems and worries.

and i dont just listen to females to illicit sex!! i know, its crazy right?

My hair. When its long the curls protrude everwhere, and most people like it.

also, i smoke a tobacco pipe bit unorthodox for a 20 something i know. like i said, im a huge nerd

Book (oh there are too many for this entire page)
First, any of the works of Jack Kerouac, but primarily Dharma Bums. the works of cs lewis, tolkein, and yes Rowling(got to get my british authors out of the way). The fifth potter book is the best by the way, if that tells you anything about me.

steinbeck, bradbury, nick hornby, sallinger, bukowski, philip k. dick, vonnegut, and many others. i wont bore you with reciting my entire library

Movies: I have a shameful obsession with war movies. but mostly comedy, and serious drama stuff. a few of my top would be chasing amy, dead poets society, high fidelity, and star wars

music would be you typical college indie rock scene: arcade fire, belle and sebastian, wilco, ect.

If you want the random obscure stuff i love jazz music (especially cool jazz), broadway scores (especially sondheim), and ole timey stuff especially sinatra

food: a mutual fan of many things, although my obsession is with anything that has mushrooms

yeah, things dont matter too much to me so ill just list what is really important, a few of which are things

1. my family (especially my mother, brother, and grandparents)
2. my friends
3. my memories
4. my books
5. my personal writings
6. my filing cabinet (and the vast wealth of educational resouces within its walls)

The past, and what could of been. And what the future is in hold for me. Day dreaming is a pastime for me, and these two fill my mind with all matter of craziness.

Sitting outside on my friends patio, drinking an assortment of high-end beer, and decent wine; and arguing about some topic that for this week we think is both pertinent and hilarious. Last week, it was a heated debate over different types of blankets. You know, whether the material name can also double as the type name, and that such silliness.

i have never climbed a tree in my life.. but someday i mean to rectify that error

You find me interesting, and with potential. im a serial monogomous, so i dont just date around. who has that much free time anyway : )
