Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I am an engineer and have been working in the North Hills of Pittsburgh since graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in this past May. I lately have been missing the college life where it was easy to hang out with people at almost any time of day. However, I have been spending a lot of my free time of late just enjoying having free time again. I also tend to be very sarcastic at times and will take most any opportunity to make off the wall statements with obcure references rather than responding to what the person really said. I also have the dubious honor of having been named most likely to answer a rheotorical question by my friends from college. I tend to be rather quiet and reserved most of the time, which leads to me not meeting that many people when I'm out at a bar or club by myself.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Working at a Civil Engineering company where I am involved with building and inspecting bridges. I'm considering both if I want to go back to school to get a graduate degree in structural engineering, and when that might be financially realistic. Looking for new book series that I would like to read, as I have a tendancy to devour books at a high rate (occasionally reading 600+ page books from cover to cover in one sitting). I recently bought a new car and have in general been enjoying not being a broke college student anymore. I'm now looking for some new things to do around North Hills.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Skiing, certain computer games (Halo, Halflife 2, any civilization game), I'm an ok cook, I can easily remember what would normally fall into the category of useless trivia or things that I will never need to know again without trying, or wanting to.

I can also be really good missing painfully obvious things for a long time... not that I really enjoy being good at this as it has caused me to say something stupid or embarrasing from time to time, but I am good at it.

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

That I'm 6'4 or that I have a really sarcastic sense of humor.

Or if I'm at a bar they may notice that I have a rather high tolerance...

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

A) Wheel of Time Series, Sword of Truth series, most of the Starwars books (None of this New Jedi Order crap), Orson Scott Card's Ender books (Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind), Dune

B) Matrix, Star Wars, any Indiana Jones, some of the Batman movies (minus the 2nd and 4th of them), Lord of The Rings, Italian Job, The Rock, Equilibrium, Down Periscope, Fight Club, Old School, Boondock Saints, Stargate, Spies Like Us, Spaceballs, Serenity, Anchorman, Talladega Nights, in general anything that has a good science fiction story or is just absurdly funny.

C) I like a very eclectic mix of music which primarily consists of modern/classic rock and electronica, but is not limited to just those. Pretty much I am willing to listen to most any song at least once and then determine if I like it, I will not reject something just because its in a catagory I don't normally prefer. Some bands I like: Steve Miller Band, Juno Reactor, Metallica], System of a Down, Greenday, Bush, Weird Al, Paul Oakenfold, John Williams, Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Eminem, Bond, Nirvana, Audioslave...

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

My computer/internet, friends, books, skiing, music, and video games

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Opportunities in life that I have missed and how I should be more assertive in pursuing new things. Occassionally there are a few philosophical type questions that crop up... sometimes while I'm drunk, others not.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Doing something fun with friends (watching movies, drinking, hanging out) Or if not that I am probably at home, watching Stargate on TV, and playing some computer games. I vacilate between being a complete geek at times to normal person.

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

I was within a foot of both the flipped car in Oakland and the riot police at the same time after the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl.
