I grew up in New Jersey and now live in San Diego. I like to travel and to explore new possibilities. My goal in life is to be the best me I can be, and I believe the way to do that is through trying new things, meeting new people, and constantly challenging my current beliefs.

I am intellectual, funny, and open-minded

If you're interested in making new friends, whether you're a guy or a girl, feel free to write me. I'm using this sites match/friend % as a way to find people I have things in common with. If you have any thoughts on that, write me too. I'd love to know if the % numbers on this site are actually accurate, or if you think there's any other ways i can find people I have things in common with.

Exploring and trying new things. Trying to expand my mind and abilities to be the best me that i can be. Trying to help others less fortunate. Finding new and unlikely sources of wisdom to grow from.

Trying to find a way to make a beautiful, creative inspiring piece of art. I'd prefer something collaborative since I love seeing others express their creativity.

Open-mindedness (life is about adapting and evolving. never stop growing)
People (siblings, family members, friends, they keep me connected)

the future and developing myself further, and trying to live in the present at the same time. How the only thing I know is that I know nothing.

I kissed a girl, and I liked it...
I once got busy in a burger king I athroom...

One of the three above is true, while the other two are song lyrics. You guess which one :)

the things you've read so far resonate with you on some level, or you just think i'm hot (j/k). You are an 80s child, or really identify with all the amazing things that were produced during that time period (John Hughes movies, the music, Knight Rider or A-Team, The Smurfs).

If you're intellectual, fun, easy going, funny. If you like to go out, but also like to get comfy on the couch watching a movie.
