I am Athletic, Nerdy, and Goofy.
My Self-Summary
*UPDATE*
Hey, so I'm currently swamped with student teaching in the mornings
and classes at night so I will probably only be checking this site
every other day for the next 2 weeks. Please be patient if I take a
little longer to respond to messages or things of that
nature.
-Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago
-Graduated from Santa Clara University in 2008 with a Bachelor's in
Physics.
- Enjoy being active.
-Enrolled in the teacher education at SCU so that I can teach High
School physics beginning in Fall 2010
What I’m doing with my life
What am I doing with my life? Gosh, you sound like my mother.
I’m really good at
Whistling,
Beatboxing,Non-Land Based Sports,
High Fives, and
Reaching things on the top shelf.
The first things people usually notice about me
First thing is either my height or my tribal armband tattoos.
The second thing is that I am not to be taken seriously most of the
time. Especially about tattoos.

The six things I could never do without
Survival Gear
1. Towel (don't panic/don't forget to bring a towel)
2. Stupid Rope and
3. Rambo Knife(You don't know what you're gonna need it for. You
just always need it)
Intangibles
4. Exercise (It keeps me mentally sharp)
5. My Sister (She's my twin, only two years younger)
Non-negotiable
6. A Long Bed (I am not gonna let my feet hang off the edge of a
twin. Sorry, that ain't me)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Time. The Philosophical and Physical nature of it. I'm currently
writing a research paper on time, particularly as it applies to the
Twins Paradox and the possibility that the Universe is not
Expanding, but rather that time is slowing down and what this would
mean at the general and also the atomic level
For realz, I'm a
nerd.
Other than that, my thoughts are semi-scattered but completely in
the moment. E.g. I heard Red Hot Chili Peppers and I'm reminded of
the house I lived in 4 years ago because one of my housemates
played the RHCP cover of "Higher Ground" on Guitar Hero all the
time. As a result, I often find myself in dynamic conversations.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
The Last 100 pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made me
angry. In fact, I can no longer enjoy the other 6 books as I once
did knowing that in the end it won't really matter because JK
Rowling had some Deus Ex Machina planned to turn what could have
been a truly inspiring story of sacrifice into a poor excuse for a
saga.
Other than that, if you have any burning questions about me just
ask. I'll either answer them or attempt to change the subject. Too
honest?
You should message me if
You're single and interested. Intelligence is necessary, either in
college or graduated preferable. Some experience with banter is
helpful but not required. Must be capable of changing speeds
(sometimes up for whitewater rafting, sometimes up for a
movie)
You know the difference between Sarcasm and Wit. Bonus points if
you know the word roots/meaning of sarcasm.
Tall is always a bonus. Like over 5'8" is what I start calling
tall, but that's not a firm number.
