I am Honest, Genuine, and Loyal.

My Self-Summary

I like to live my life in the world of originality and uniqueness. I tend to think a lot, and think outside of the box when I do. I'm an INFJ, if you know what that is, and surprisingly the descriptions for it usually describe me quite well.

My interests currently coincide with that outside of the box factor. I'm a musician and a scientist. I play the bass, double and guitar in case you're wondering, and practice a Japanese sword martial art not too different from iaido. My work is in the field of Computer Science, working with graphic design-related things, so its quite refreshing to work in an environment where you can be artistic and logical.

I'm very passionate about everything I do, and try to incorporate a piece of everything into what I do.

Also, I'm a gamer, so if you hate video games, better keep moving. I grew up on it, and its what drove my career path. That isn't to say it is my life, however.

I also have an interest in learning as many languages as I possibly can, and have already learned Japanese and am working on Hawaiian and Gaelic.

What I’m doing with my life

I work as an Interactive Developer, basically a software developer specialising in interactive and creative programming, and love every moment of it.

Aside from that, I'm currently researching more about the languages I'm trying to learn, working on developing my own games, and learning more about the world.

Unfortunately, I'm currently injured from pushing myself too hard in martial arts, but as soon as that's over, I'm jumping back in. Also, I have this fascination with Wakeboarding and Snowboarding that I will, after the injury, try and with any luck continue.

I’m really good at

Overthinking. I try to decipher how things work on a regular basis, so overthinking.

That and being who I am. Being true to yourself has always been my way to live life. Doesn't help explain anything though...

The first things people usually notice about me

My beard, and a "I don't know what to think of this guy!!!" reaction. People seem to get a bad first impression of me, but upon actually talking and interacting with me, they discover I'm not what they thought. It's quite annoying, but better to be yourself than someone else anyday.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Musashi, Norse, Celtic, and Japanese Mythology, History

Movies: The Departed, Godfather Part I, Pirates of the Carribean, Miyazaki Films, Scorsese Films, American Gangster, Braveheart, Gladiator, Boondock Saints

Music: The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, blues, classical

Food: Italian or Japanese

my mind

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How things work. I love to understand the mechanics of things. Anything from how an algorithm functions to how the rhythm of a song is moving. I also like to think about other cultures and languages.

When I'm with someone, I'll admit that I'm also thinking about what I can surprise them with next.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends, or taking a break at home. Either can encompass a large variety of things.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm a hopeless romantic. What I mean by that, is it makes me smile to have the person I'm with happy, or smile. I look forward to seeing them. Cuddling, holding hands, everything. The way a girl looks when she sees that he really does care is so amazing and so priceless. Her eyes widen with excitement glistening in the light, and then her smiling. I love it, I really do.

You should message me if

You made it this far and...

If you're just looking for friends, then if you like to have challenging and intellectual conversations, play music, or just hang out. If it gets to something more, be prepared for surprises and lots of fun.
