I am a pretty laidback gentleman with a positive outlook on life. I like to do what most people like to do, hangout with friends, get a drink, catch a movie, and eat. I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Sweden. Spent the first glorious 23 years of my life there. Decided America would be fun so I came over to go to school. Now I can't bring myself to leave this awesome city.

Doing my absolute best to enjoy it, as should you. I found that to be able to really enjoy it you do need some coin. So part of the whole "enjoying it" equation is working. I do like what I do, I work on the trade desk for an online brokerage firm, but it doesn't define me. Or at least I hope it doesn't since the financial industry is filled with douchebags.

Reaching things, speaking Swedish, making fish lasagna, checking ID's, keeping manual score while bowling, and pinball.

My unquenchable thirst for life, I wish. It's my height. I am tall. At least that's what I think, it's what people generally comment on initially. No need to write me a message to ask me if I'm lying about my height, I'm not.

Favorite books, tough one. When I was 9 years old my mom read Ian Fleming's Dr. No to me. It was a big book and I have a feeling she didn't really like it but she did it anyway. I also used to read a lot of Agaton Sax books growing up. He was a crime solving man that worked closely with Inspector Lispington at the Scotland Yard. Of course I have read a lot of good books since I was a kid but the ones I read, or had read to me, as a kid are still my favorites.

To me a good movie is a good movie. I don't necessarily have a favorite genre of movies. The only genre I struggle with is horror, but it does ask for a favorite so I'll say Snatch. I have yet to grow tired of watching it. Streaming Netflix is a great thing, they've got Swedish police dramas.

My favorite show on TV right now is Mad Men by a landslide. I even bought the DVD's so I can watch old episodes when the show is on a break. I also have to mention Friday Night Lights, it is a great show. Even if you don't like football or sports you should watch it.

Favorite music? That's impossible because it constantly changes. Jay-Z has been a long time favorite, not a fan of most of his recent stuff though. My fellow Swede Robyn is awesome. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Odetta are somewhat recent discoveries.

Food, it's so good once it hits your lips. Big favorite is fish in all possible ways, as long as it is not cooked with fruit. Other things in the food world I enjoy are green peas, sprouts, a nice boiled potato, and biscuits & gravy. To mention a few.

My phone, CTA pass, and keys are some things I can't leave my house without. A warm hat, clean underwear, and my glasses would be right behind in importance. This is of course under the assumption were not talking oxygen, food, friends, love etc.

Should I quit my job? Will this taco make me sick? Am I gonna miss the bus? Are the Cubs ever gonna win a World Series? If we make choices based on our beliefs and we're not in direct control of our beliefs do we really have free will? Should I play Josh Freeman or Philip Rivers? Why is Kevin James employed?

Enjoying the fact that I can sleep in and not work the next day. Out socializing or at home being non-social with the TV, a movie, or my XBOX.

Access to my hilarious stories is earned, not handed out like dinner mints.

You're a perfect balance between "weird" and "normal".

You feel it would be worth both of our time, or you've always wanted to go to IKEA and have someone translate the names of everything for you.

Just one quick note, something to consider. No point in messaging me if you're looking for a guy that likes to put on jorts, drink Bud Light Lime and laugh at Kevin James movies, I'm not him.
