Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Independent, self-sufficient, laid-back, non-smoking, drug-free, mostly nocturnal.

Enjoy road trips (car or motorcycle), listening to a wide variety of music, relaxing with friends, working on mechanical-type stuff. Driving to desolate locations and photographing anything interesting.

No tattoos, due to not being able to decide on anything in particular. Used to have my right eyebrow pierced, but it got annoying and was consequently removed.

Own two cats. That's close enough to having kids for me. The world is overpopulated enough as it is, it doesn't need my help.

Ich soll mehr oft auf Deutsch sprechen und schrieben.

Though there is one TV in my house, and it's not plugged in or connected to anything. Come to think of it, I should probably donate it to Savers. No TV also means I don't subscribe to cable TV (but cable internet is a must). If I'm wanting to watch something (news, DVD, cartoon, etc.), I've got the computer.

To save you some time, don't bother leaving me a message if you constantly write in either of the following fashions:
1.) IF YOU WRITE IN ALL CAPS, LEARN TO USE A KEYBOARD.
2.) if u lyk 2 rite in a butchrd verzn of ne gvn language, lern sum propa gramr/spelin skilz.

If you occasionally throw in a sentence containing some "leetspeak" or random geek jargon, I have no problem with that. Perhaps I'd even encourage it, depending on the circumstances. If you know some or all of the following acronyms: FTW, WTF, STFU, GTFO, or RTFM, plus in my book. If not, I won't hold it against you.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

A month after graduating high school in small-town Wisconsin, I moved 2000+ miles away to Phoenix, AZ with a close friend. Have held a full-time job continuously since completing classes at a small trade school in Tempe.

Currently working full-time in Tempe for L3 Communications (previously Northrop Grumman). Never been late on a bill, almost always put down extra cash on loan payments. Hopefully those things mean something to you.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Having a very moderate personality. It's nearly impossible to offend me since I have a tendency to view things from both extremes of the spectrum. One exception would be religion, I can't really comprehend the thoughts of religious fanatics.

Understanding the cruelties of humanity and empathizing with the unfortunate, but still being able to laugh at the crude jokes that poke fun at those same serious situations.

Answering useless-knowledge trivia questions my co-workers sometimes have.

Getting focused on any given topic, therefore losing track of time and staying awake for extended periods of time. Then crashing out hard for hours on end after my body tells my mind it's time to get some rest.

Eating, anything... And almost always enjoying it in the process. Oh yeah, no matter what I eat, I can't seem to gain weight. From 2002 until now, I've weighed no more than low/mid 140's. At around 5' 9", I'm skinny. Luckily I do have some muscle definition, so I don't look starved or sick.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

10-15-08 Update: Turned out the moustache got on my nerves too much, so I shaved it off. Along with the goatee, and soul patch. So basically now I look like Robert DeNiro back in '76. The latter portion of "Taxi Driver" to be more specific, considering the mohawk.

If I'm seen in my Saturn, they'll probably notice the bright yellow paint first. Or, if I'm on the Buell, they'll probably hear me coming long before they see me.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Though I'm not too big on books (the Internet is like a giant book to me), there are a few books I keep bedside. Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge, Far Journeys by Robert Monroe, and Ultimate Journey by Robert Monroe. The thought of lucid dreaming and OBE's has fascinated me since I was around 11. As much as I'd like to become proficient at attaining lucidity in the dream state, I focus too much on things that happen in the physical realm. That'd explain why I've only been lucid twice so far. Admittedly, I envy those who were able to naturally achieve lucidity in dreams as kids.

Apocalypse Now, Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect, Alien, Matrix(s), Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, V For Vendetta, Snatch, Crash (the David Cronenberg one), more to come... As for TV, basically anything comedic on Adult Swim. Robot Chicken, Sealab 2021, Squidbillies, Mission Hill, etc. South Park and Drawn Together get me cracking up too. However, since I don't subscribe to cable television, I'm usually found watching them online or at friends' places.

Nearly any music that can hold a good beat. Depending on the mood, I could enjoy listening to Death Cab For Cutie, Joe Diffy, Blink 182, Rob Zombie, Pachelbel, Kronos Quartet, Queen, Queens Of The Stone Age, Stone Sour, Saliva, Pakito, Puff Daddy, Pink, Paul Oakenfold, Overseer, Outkast, Blue October, Evans Blue, Daft Punk, Kylie Minogue, Mozart, Flyleaf, Pet Shop Boys, Rush, Paula Abdul, The Eagles, Edwin McCain, Alan Jackson, The Cure, David Bowie, or DJ Tiesto. The list goes on and on...

Favorite foods? Anything edible. Sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter, they're all great. Now if only they'd bring back the Dark Chocolate Kit-Kat bars... Drinks tend to be the opposite, I'm usually quite picky about beverages. Diet sodas, light beers, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and water are on my bad list. For whatever reason, I only drink water if I'm ungodly thirsty, or it's freezing cold.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

The internet. Music. Good friends. A vehicle (or two) of my own. Food/drink/air/shelter (obviously).

Notice family isn't listed... My own family was never big on my list. Independence held more value to me than a relationship based on biology. Though I have respect for many members of my family, I don't particularly enjoy spending time in their presence. Mainly it's due to differing viewpoints on topics of discussion, and being mostly non-confrontational, I'd rather just avoid people that attempt to change any of my strong opinions.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

What the newest webcomics are about (Cyanide & Happiness, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, XKCD, and Penny-Arcade are my regulars). Wondering if there are any good buys available on Craigslist. [Sarcasm](Me, frugal? Never...)[/Sarcasm]

Otherwise, currently too many things to list... Thought patterns vary with my mood quite a bit.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At a friend's place in either Phoenix or Mesa.

Cruising around on some highway with no set destination.

Working in the garage.

Surfing the net.

Every now and then I'll stay home watching movies or something similar.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Vague questions tend to bring vague answers... Ask me a specific question, and I'll give a specific answer. No BS, no lies. Just be prepared to handle the truth. Rest assured, I won't get offended, whatever you ask.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You have a reason to. Doesn't matter if you think it's a "good" reason, just have a reason of some sort.
