I shut down an illegal hostel operating out of the apartment next door and felt like Liam Neeson in Taken.

I used to be addicted to showering but I'm totally clean now.

My idea of a great first date: dive bar, deep philosophical conversation, and dares.

I'm a progressive guy, but I think an "open" or "poly" relationship is an oxymoron. What's the point of being with someone if you're not there for each other?

Also: I'm originally from the Midwest, got a degree in math/physics from a university in the South, and have been in NY for 4 of the last 5 years.

Medical resident. When your grandmother uses modeling glue instead of her eyedrops, she comes to see me. Yup, that actually happened.

I'm passionate about preventing/ treating blindness in the developing world.

When my nerd superiors grant me time, I like to travel, play guitar, cheer for the St. Louis Cardinals and read.

Winging it. I just found the list I used to prepare for a month-long trip:

[x] Call credit card company
[x] Get cash
[x] Update music

Talking with random strangers. A great conversation starter on the subway is "Will this train take me to Jay-Z's house?"

Stats. I'm jealous of the statistician that works on OKTrends.

I reek of success and humility. Incidentally, it's the exact opposite of Axe ®.

That and long eyelashes.

Books: Just finished the Game of Thrones series. The fifth book should have been about 500 pages shorter.

Movies: Zombieland may be one of the greatest movies ever. Definitely the best cameo.

Shows: 30 Rock, The Wire. I'm really out of touch with TV... if there's something I should be watching, let me know.

Music all-time:I'm very much into music, mostly indie. Some of my faves: Neko Case, Catch 22, LCD Soundsystem, Steely Dan, Ryan Adams

Also, it's impossible to be upset while listening to Buena Vista Social Club

Food: Sushi, Indian, Thai. Not too long ago, I stopped eating land animals.

The wolves that raised me

The logistics of throwing a concert on my roof.

My next trip. I just got back from a month in Peru.

How precarious our entire existence is. Either of our moms turns down a tequila shot in the 80's and we're not even here.

Whether zombies or robots will get us first. I was leaning robot until recent events in Florida.

If I'm in NY: Grabbing a beer with friends.

If I'm traveling: Grabbing a beer with friends I just met.

I consider myself a bit of a music snob. I will judge you based on what you listen to. But if I'm within 100 yards of a dancefloor and hear Katy Perry's Firework, it's on.

Also, I'm pretty well-published in the field of chlamydia. That's great first-date material.

You are:

... smrter than me but won't shove it in my face.

... comfortable catching a last-minute discount flight to some distant land without any accommodations, but always wear your seatbelt in a cab.

... only single because you didn't forward that chain letter in 7th grade.

Also, if you are interested in trying our luck in the lottery for Book of Mormon tickets, let me know.
