I've been told I'm intriguing. I'm fairly materialistic but choosy about what I desire. I don't give a damn about the hair on my head and you shouldn't either. It's just dead cells after all.

I like stepping on dry leaves because they crunch.

Function over form.

I grew up in Egypt so that's my excuse for just about everything American I don't know or understand.

I build things out of wood and steel that are so incredibly temporary - it's theatre! Also learning to take care of my motorcycle which I'm restoring/modifying as my own.

I'm blunt. I have a very bad filter when it comes to speaking my mind so I enjoy making people squirm.

I like learning with my hands and then improving upon what I learn before being able to teach someone else.

I'm really good at running up stairs instead of simply walking. I don't like escalators. Did you know the man who invented the escalator wished he had years later? Had he realized that people would just stand there and wait to get to the top, rather than getting to the top faster he would not have invented it. I could be wrong about that but I find it amusing none-the-less.

I'll sit and stare at the night sky until I see a satellite and I can tell the difference between stars and planets.

Also, not shaving. I don't know how to use a razor.

Making hammocks.

Without direct contact I'm fairly positive people think I'm a loud, self-centered asshole. So I've got that going for me.

I've been told I have large eyes and I certainly have a large smile. I don't laugh so much as I guffaw.

I'm not self-centered, by the way.

- I thoroughly enjoy books that entertain without making you think too strongly - mostly sci-fi and fantasy stuff. Top of the list would be Ender's Game and Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'. I did try to read the bible once but I didn't get very far.

- I just like music. If my ears enjoy it and my foot taps along with the beat, I'll listen to it. 9,500 songs and growing!

- I don't watch television much, but when I do it's on the interwebs. I enjoy Battlestar Galactica, Band of Brothers, Firefly, Lost, House, The Office, West Wing, and one of my tops is certainly Arrested Development. I think soon I'll join the rest of the world and get Netflix.

- I've never eaten a potato dish I didn't like and Root Beer is MAH DRANK.

Music to listen to.
Stairs to bound up.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Skin (on someone else, mostly.)
Manual transmissions.
My nose.

I day-dream about the work I need to do on my motorcycle, or a personal carpentry/steel project I have planned. Or perhaps just about the weekend to come when I can go to Uncle Sam's and get a hot sub and read a good book.

Perhaps rock climbing, running, reading or sitting here at my desk watching a movie or playing video games.

Open book - ask and ye shall receive.

- You exist.
- You can teach me to tie a bow-tie because I just can't seem to get it down.
- Or if you'd like to come rock climbing! I could always use a partner.
- If you honestly would like to learn to drive a stick. No stupid pun.
- You want to watch Fantasia with me.
