I am introspective, intense, and awesome.
My Self-Summary
I, like nearly every other guy on here, would consider myself
intelligent, funny, passionate, and loyal. I don't let the little
things bother me. That being said, when I am with someone I truly
care for I can be very intense. Myers-Briggs would classify me as
INFP. I laugh at myself several times a day and can be very random.
I am open-minded and non-judgmental. I am very focused on where I
am going in life but have the most fun when I am distracted. I am a
very empathetic person and value this above all other qualities in
others. I love listening to other people's stories and
perspectives. I am that guy who would be at a bar, and maybe it’s
the therapist in me, that ends up listening to the “weird guy’s”
problems regarding his estranged son. I'm weird. I still have not
determined if I actually like or hate cool ranch doritos (I still
eat them), I can't sleep when I'm hot or when it is silent, I
exercise often, I love to ski, and I am a huge football (Eagles)
and baseball (Yankees/Phillies) fan. I loathe Cowboys fans but have
this perverse desire to date a Red Sox fan. I like stupid humor
(think Chris Farley) and satire. I smile often and am respectful.
What I’m doing with my life
I just recently moved to Cincinnati to pursue a PhD in school
psychology. I have worked as an adolescent addictions therapist and
a family therapist. I wholeheartedly believe in what I do and feel
that success is measured by what you do for others.
I’m really good at
Listening. Conversing. Listing what I'm really good at. Making
people laugh. Kissing. Sleeping. Affection.
The first things people usually notice about me
On a shallow note...my arms and shoulders. Also, the fact that I am
either very engaging (when I want to be) or very shy...no middle
ground here

Water
Food

My friends and family.

A comfy bed.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I am a budding radical behaviorist but...I wish I could fly and
wonder if anyone ever has...I realize that the idea of a "heaven",
per se, is illogical...but I construct mine daily...I wonder why
people are the way they are (aside from being conditioned that way
of course!)...I try and imagine what it would be like to be
floating about in the great red spot on jupiter...I imagine what my
life would be like with strangers I pass in the street...
On a typical Friday night I am
Studying
Drinking wine (pinot noir is my favorite) and reading some cheesy
fiction
or
Out for drinks and conversation.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Hmmmm...I have 3 tiers of boxers...
1) Front line starters - Newer, great condition, and the elastic is
still tight. Typically are worn when going out or to
class/work.
2) The vets - Worn, ok condition, faded, loose elastic. Typically
work when the front line starters are dirty.
3) The originals - Very worn, sometimes see thru, several holes,
leave nothing to the imagination. Typically work as a last resort,
however, they serve a particular function. They embarrass me into
doing my laundry.
