First of all, I'm sorry for the lack of shirtless mirror pics. Working on it. Anyways, I'm a big-time music and tech nerd and most things I like live at the intersection between new and old. Does that make sense? By that I mean I appreciate things that are real, genuine, and have authenticity. I naturally gravitate towards those characteristics in everything... people, music, books, etc. While I work at a Web Design firm and I'm also a grad student in HCI, I spend the rest of my time seeking out experiences that technology cannot recreate. I love discovering new music and going to shows around the city. While I'm driven, my personality is pretty light hearted and I keep a good perspective on everything. I'm also a the one who is usually bringing humor into the setting.

I can't say that experiences on here have been that great so far. Most people seem to be here for entertainment. With that said, I'm looking for something real with a good kick to it. So if you're only looking to be pixels on a screen and exchange endless messages, lets just skip it.

At the same time, I promise we won't be like this..

Aside from the career side of life, I'm a big brother to 3 siblings and I love being a couple hours away from home so that I can drive back and catch some of my little brother's soccer games or swim meets.

I've seen Titanic many more times than any man should have, and I'm quite alright with that.

Looking for the sweet girl with a warm personality who digs good music (or, you'll at least let me try to get you to like stuff).
