I'm a nice, easy going guy. I'm honest and hardworking. I'm also
very straightforward; what you see is what you get. I enjoy humor
and try not to take anything too seriously. You can usually find me
laughing my ass off. I like making strange connections, and I love
odd/interesting facts.
Education is very important to me. I love maths, the sciences,
history, languages and the like. I have a passion for learning, and
I admire that in others.
Art is also very important to me. Not specifically gallery art, but
art in a general sense. I grew up playing an instrument, and am
currently trying to learn another. I don't have the ear or the
chops to make it more than a hobby, but I enjoy doing it anyway. I
admire artists of all kinds. I try my hand at sketching now and
then (I love drawing on my phone), but mostly it's just the music
for me.
I like to exercise. I try to run at least 3 times a week. I love
lifting things, be it packages or weights. I'm planning on trying a
boxing class (I don't intend on sparring) and I'm getting into
ballroom dance. I love hiking and camping and am always looking for
opportunities to do both more.
I prefer warm weather over cold, though I love the rain. I prefer
pubs over the clubs, though I can't help but dance when I'm
drinking.
I'm in school (in the last quarter of my BS). I work doing manual
labor; sorting packages.
I'm growing my hair out.
I'm stopping to smell the roses. And the
sea air.

-Ridiculous arguments with people who take themselves and the
subject entirely too seriously.
-My height. I'm tall.
-My calves. I get a lot of comments about them.

Music:
My favorite music depends entirely on my mood. When I'm drinking, I
love dance music/top 40's shit. When I'm working I love energetic
ska or rock. When I'm just hanging out I like to keep it a little
slower, a little more down temo. A lot of jazz/swing. Especially
Bobby Darin, Louis Prima, Tony Bennett, etc. Some soul, some
motown. In between I like pretty much anything with a catchy
tune.
Right now I can't stop listening to Queen.
Food:
I've never been picky. I've recently been eating more spicy foods.
I like to mix it up.
-What I'm going to do after college. In what order. Work, travel,
etc.
-What life would be like if more things had to be proved
rigorously.
-Starting a
funk band
like Lovage. Or just learning how to run some funky bass lines.
Learning how to walk bass lines in general.
-Where in the greater Seattle area I would be happiest
living.
-Whether or not I want to try out for the Sound Wave.
-adventures
I work friday nights. Afterward I am either relaxing at home or
having a beer with some friends. I'm much more of a chilling in a
pub kind of guy, but on occasion I can be found dancing my ass off.
