I am outgoing, bright, and loyal.
My Self-Summary
I enjoy first and foremost is spending time with my son. I am a
single dad, so free time is sometimes hard to find as my son gets
most of my attention, but when I have free time there are a wide
variety of things I enjoy.
I focus on learning to bettering myself and being a continual life
learner. I enjoy studying and learning about anything to do with
technology, nutrition, neurology, anti-aging, muscle building,
weight loss, general health issues and many other things. I enjoy
having intellectual discussions about life, politics, any science,
philosophy, psychology, sociology, religion, other cultures, and
many other things.
Other things I enjoy are going to the coffee shop or bookstore,
traveling to new places, experiencing new cultures, going to nature
parks, museums, spending time with family and friends.
Around the house I also enjoy watching some TV (anything really,
some dramas or reality shows, but usually documentaries, history,
nature, news, science, or technology), watching UFC fights or
football, playing video games (computer or Wii/Xbox/Playstation),
going to the movie theaters or even staying home watching a
DVD.
On the physical side enjoy going to the gym to workout, martial
arts & mixed martial arts (MMA), walks, being outdoors, nature
hikes, mountain biking, golf, shooting pool, bowling, playing
darts, and table tennis (not to good at that yet). Have considered
learning to dance, Latin type like tango or salsa.
I also like to try new experiences, as well, to avoid falling into
a rut as life is about living it and is too short to not to enjoy
every moment of it.
I am honest, loyal to a fault, very social and a huge people
person, outgoing (shocking for a computer geek and book worm I
suppose), warm, passionate, and considerate, but am also perfectly
happy around being the house or by myself as well. I enjoy really
fun, intellectual, and interesting conversations. I also like to
mix it up with a dry, sarcastic wit. I always enjoy a friendly
debate about controversial issues of the day.

health, exercise, weight training, nutrition, neuroscience,

On a typical Friday night I am
With my son. He has really gotten into chess recently, so we have
been playing a lot of that lately (more than playing on the Wii...
crazy, who would have ever thought, board games over video
games...)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
That could be dangerous, lol...
