Hey people, I was born in Maryland (about 20 minutes outside DC) and lived there for 18 years. Moved out to Nevada almost 2 1/2 years ago and am looking to meet some new people. I love living in the valley here, it doesn't have the greens of Maryland but I can't think of much I'd trade for the mountains.
In some ways I am a hippie, I look to make my lifestyle more eco-friendly and all that jazz. I'm also looking for fun and interesting people to spend some time with and get to know. I'm sort of a hermit, spending most of my time indoors but I really enjoy the outdoors and playing sports. One thing I would really like to do is get to know Southern Nevada better, get out to some hiking trails and see the scenic side of things.
Cooking, baking and homebrewing are all hobbies of mine that I really enjoy and get a lot out of. I havn't been doing them for long but I'm getting better and trying more and more difficult stuff.

Right now in my life I'm trying to get to know more people and the area I live in. Although I am currently employed, i get little pleasure out of my job and am looking for a more fulfilling and lucrative place to work, unfortunately that is very difficult at this time. I do not got to school but i would like to finish college one day, but without a major/ profession in mind I don't believe I will get the education I should out of it; so I also am looking for a professional field to get into in the long run. Like I mentioned before, food and drink are interesting to me and I'm looking for more and better interesting ways to find the simple pleasures in life :)

I am good at sports and also really enjoy them. I played basketball, baseball, lacrosse, swam and a few others throughout my childhood, so I am pretty good at those things. I'm also pretty good baker for how new I am at it; only been doing it for a year or so and am pretty happy with how good I'm at it. I also enjoy cooking but have not had as much success with it, but hey you gotta eat right? Homebrewing (homemade beer) is another thing I am pretty good at although I'm pretty new to it, but the rewards couldn't be more fruitful

my sweet ass I dunno

Books: I enjoy fantasy books like the Wheel of Time series and the Harry Potter books are pretty good as well. I also enjoy reading/learning about wine/beer culture along with books concerning food and cooking.
As for Movies I'm likely to give anything a try, I enjoy comedies such as 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall', 'How High', Tommy Boy, 40 year old virgin, Coming to America, Idiocracy, & Pootie Tang. I also like all other kinds of movies like American Beauty, Pulp Fiction, Sin City, A Scanner Darkly, The Royal Tennumbaums, Sideways and stuff like that. I have recently began watching foreign films and found that I really enjoy them. couple that I like are He Loves me, He loves me not, Amelie, Priceless and Jekyll.
I LOVE SPICY FOOD! There isnt much food that I dislike (squash) but I like just about any type of spicy food. Shellfish is another one of my favorites but I am nervous about eating much seafood in this hot/dry place so far from the coast.
With music I am pretty open. I don't like most of what other people my age like, but I'm willing to give most stuff a shot. I'm more into jazz and blues, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Oscar Peterson, Chuck Mangione and other old stuff from the 40's-70's. Some british music is pretty good as well like Amy Whinehouse, Rolling Stones, Alice Russell, The Mighty Boosh and stuff like that. Most of the rap i like came out at least a decade ago from the early 90's mostly. I also get a kick out of music from independent tv shows like Flight of the Concords and The Whitest Kids you Know

I could never live with out my self deprecating sense of humor, cause if I'm not laughing at myself then I'm crying in the shower. My legs are also pretty important duh? seriously though i love to bike and walk and get around with my legs & feet. my access to a shower is also really important, i cant go dirty for too long. my desire to cook is pretty important, i really like to make my own meals than go out and buy them. If i had to go without toothpaste and floss it would be a big loss.

I like to think about places I'd like to live or visit some day. Planning meals and what I want to eat that day is also another thing I like to think about.....pudding :)

At home usually chowing down either watching a movie or listening to music. Getting to bed a bit early because I usually work early Saturday.

At work i don't wear my shoes and most of the people think I'm crazy for it

if you are from another country or speak another language or have an accent. if you like similar stuff thats in my profile like beer and food then id really like to pick your brain. also if your into nature stuff and want to expose an outsider to the area, please do! If you have lived here most of your life I would love to see your perspective of the area. if you feel like you would want to get to know me better and be willing to let me do the same with you :)
