Hey all,

My name is Tony and I am 24. I was born and raised in Iowa, but have just recently moved to Austin, TX, in search of bigger, brighter, and more exciting opportunities. I have a degree in advertising and hope to someday find a career as an art director, but first this mess of an economy needs to get its act together.

I discovered a new passion for travel last year as I went backpacking through 14 European countries by myself and would love to experience all 7 continents by the time I die (hopefully far sooner than that, though). I enjoy both quiet evenings in with friends and a movie, and hitting the town for dinner and a few drinks. I enjoy cultured activities (art museums, theater, live music, etc.) and finding new and exciting places in this great city of Austin. I'm also hoping to get a little closer to nature - I haven't spent nearly enough time outside lately as I would like to.

I'm looking for a real relationship of any kind. If it's romantic that would be fantastic, but I'm also looking for great new friends with similar interests. Surely something here trips your trigger... shoot me a line and we'll chat it up.

Currently doing the service industry thing at the Roaring Fork. But my dream job is art direction for advertising. That would make me a very happy guy.

Aside from career stuff (why is that always so important?), I'm spending my life meandering around Austin. And I love it! I also just joined Big Brothers Big Sisters and hanging out with my little bro has been really great so far.

entertaining people. I have a knack for making people smile... or hopefully laugh. I don't have a lot of shame (though I'm not obnoxious about it), so I can usually find a way to have a fun time with people - which may or may not involve horrendous dancing.

That's a no brainer... It's my good looks and charm! Well, maybe the charm at least...

As much as I would love to read, I have trouble getting into a book. But I enjoy reading about multicultural/ethnic/socioeconomic sorts of issues. It's kind of become my thing.

I tend to lean towards the comedies. Favorites are Young Frankenstein, Little Miss Sunshine and more. I also enjoy the Kill Bills, Fight Club, etc. I'm finding a new fascination with indie and foreign films.

My music collection is incredibly eclectic. People usually laugh as the song goes from Sublime to Tim McGraw to the RENT soundtrack to some random Christian song to Dr. Dre to a random Brazilian song. Really, I like just about everything.

Food is amazing. That's really all the farther I need to go...

the future. I wouldn't say I live for the future, because it's all about living in the moment. However, I do like to know that the things I'm doing in the moment have me heading in a good direction.

probably working at the restaurant. But if I'm lucky enough to be off I enjoy having dinner and drinks with friends. I also spend quite a bit of time just vegging out and relaxing after a long work week.

Really? We haven't even met yet...
