Sure, I could bore you with the latest up to date summary of who I am, but lets face it, I am a dynamic person. Trends come and go, and as we learn new things and grow from our mistakes, we change. Besides, I am sure you've already read the same basic fanfare about two hundred times in all the other profiles on here. That being said, I believe that actions speak louder than words, and the point of this website is to meet people who would give you a roaring good time, right?

I used to be hesitant about the thought of meeting someone in person that I first encountered on here. Then it occurred to me that the only difference between meeting someone online as opposed to say, running into someone at a library, bar, or in the elevator, is that when you meet in public, you really have no clue who they are or what kind of things they would be interested in. Meeting people on here, on the other hand, gives you that little bit of familiarity with them that blindly approaching in public wouldn't. For example, There is no Questions and Personality pages floating magically above people's heads out in public. Only in the wonderful world of Cyberspace does that happen.

I tend to surround myself with optimistic people who are going somewhere in life, and no, I don't mean the local Wal-Mart during Black Friday. I'm very open-minded with a worldwide (and occasionally galaxy-wide) outlook, a risk- taker who is always up for a
new adventure. Seriously, there is so much out there to waiting to be explored! I love dogs, cats, those little dog-like things that shiver even in the summertime (I think they're called Chupacabras? No...that can't be right), beaches, meaningful and intellectual conversations, carefree and fun banter, self improvement, self effacing, being a daredevil, flash mobs, and occasionally hopping on a ferry and pretending I'm Davey Jones of the Briny Depths!... okay, maybe more than occasionally.

I like to keep very busy every day of my life and enjoy each moment of it. Honestly, I don't have the time or inclination
to date everyone under the sun anymore. That being said, I do love meeting new people. I am pretty selective in that I know what I am looking for in someone that could become more than a friend. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with friendship! I am just fine if I don't
meet anyone on here... BUT, if you're that awesome someone special, I'd love to have you along for the ride and make our already great lives that much better; and if you're the right match for me, we would crack each other up every day and settle into each others arms every night. (Do you know why?)
 
They say "it takes two to tango", and I have learned from personal experience that while fun, it isn't quite AS fun to tango solo as it is with another.

For work, I am a literacy tutor through a before and after-school program through the YMCA, working with three different groups of elementary and pre-school kids, and I love it!

For hobbies, I have been working on an album (of the darkwave and industrial style of genre, if that's your thing) for some months now that I am hoping to have finished by this summer.
I also have been planning and preparing for a Capture-The-Flag League that I am going to be starting in the summer that I am super psyched for!
I've been attempting to sort through this massive pile of old vinyls that a buddy of mine and I acquired one night as we were leaving a bar and happened across the Queen Anne Easystreet Records as they were closing down and placing free loot outside.

Other than that, I've been attending the Art Institute to earn a degree in Audio Engineering.

Doing the Harlem Shake.

Dropping a "That's what she said" bomb at such perfect timing that Micheal Scott would poop himself with envy.

Laughing and making others laugh... At my laughter.

In order of most commonly remarked, to least:
1. My voice
2. That I look like David Blaine (although I promise, I'm not)
3. My smile
4. The way I walk
5. My hands

**PRIZE TIME**
If you honestly read through all of this, you just earned yourself a trip to any concert, movie, or bookstore of your choice. Boom!

1. The Song Weightless by Marconi Union. It is pretty much the best thing ever.

2. My corporeal form

3. Pretty much everything that has happened in that past which has culminated in me becoming who I am

4. The notion that despite maps, GPS's, and radar, that the world is still largely unexplored

5. Imagination

6. Viewing the world through the window of a Moebius painting.

oh, you know... Things and stuff.

Such as, if Schrödinger is to be blamed for why cats have such a peculiar obsession with boxes, or if he merely stumbled upon a means for cats to mitigate their 8 extra lives.

I also find it humbling that even in our corporeal, or completely physical state, we are nothing but a vast collection of spheres of dissonant energy, separated from energy in all it's other forms, though still nothing truly and ultimately "tangible". Yet, this is simply our lowest and basest of density degrees according to many elder schools of philosophy. It's definitely food for thought.

Often I wonder why is it that people cry when they are sad. They should find something that makes them laugh instead. It ends up making you feel happier in 15 minutes than crying ever did in 15 days.

The concept of "Friday Night" is kind of like the front doors of Hogwarts. You just have to believe it is there then voila! Every night is Friday night!

I think 90% of the questions on OKCupid are ridiculous, and thus have left them unanswered. (Okcupid percentages seem tenuous at best anyway)

Sometimes, I like to crush up triscuits and the contents of various teas into a mortar and pestle, and use it to season steaks or ramen.

If you are tired of guys who will only ever comment on your photos, or simply message you saying "Hi", and actually would like to talk to someone who thinks with the right head, and feels with his heart. I receive enough "hi"s and "hello"s myself, and figure you are probably as underwhelmed by them as I am.

I am not big on being online pen-pals, or texting buddies either. I prefer to meet people and actually interact with THEM, not a computer screen. So if you have no interest in ever seeing one another's faces, hearing one another's voices, getting to know one another on a deeper level, and actually having fun together, then why bother?

You have an advantage over the people I meet every day on the street, at work, in parks, at bars, etc.., which is that you have this whole profile at your disposal.

As an aside, it seems the Seattle freeze has begun to permeate cyberspace as well. That being said, please don't message me if you're just trying to humor me or yourself, and have no intention of actually doing anything other than trying to be online buddies. that's what tumblr and Facebook is for!
