I am eclectic, sarcastic, and outdoorsy.
My Self-Summary
I'm a bit hard for most people to figure out. I'm a technology geek
that is also drawn to roughing it in the wilderness without any
technology for miles. At the same time I enjoy anything else from
the
theatre and
performing arts, cooling down at home with
friends and
family,
working out, or catching a movie.
I've recently taken a raw foods class and trying to work on
integrating
raw
foods into my diet more and more despite constant ribbing from
friends and coworkers. And at the same time love going to
Fuddrucker's or Five Guys for a cheeseburger. I travel fairly
extensively with work so some find it peculiar that I enjoy
traveling in my free time. I love seeing different parts of the
world and meeting people from different cultures. Most of the time
I end up traveling to the Pacific NW though when I travel for
pleasure. As my ID states I really enjoy
yoga (especially
Bikram or
Hot Yoga) among other esoteric studies
and practices. As far as outdoors activities that fill my free
time... I spend a lot of time mountain biking, trail running,
whitewater
kayaking and snowboarding (although a
friend of mine is trying to convert me to the dark side and become
a skier), but I am definitely open to other things and love to try
something new. My big thing now is barefoot running and getting
into
trail
marathons and
ultramarathons. Done two
marathons but haven't done a ultra yet. Got an achilles injury
right now but planning on trying to get back ready for the Pine Mtn
40 in Dec and want to run the TransRockies next summer. Then the
Trans Man the year after.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm in the consulting business so I spend some time in various
cities around the country and at rare times outside the country. I
enjoy it though since I get to meet all kinds of people and get
paid to see the country. I'm just looking to meet people who enjoy
having a good time and knows when to be serious but is also open to
have a good time and just meeting new people to hang with.
I’m really good at
I consider myself a bit of a jack of all trades. I know that might
sound pretentious but what I REALLY mean to say is I'm not really
good at any one thing but ok at a bunch of stuff and always
interested in learning new stuff. I'm really into
bikram yoga (as is evident by
my username),
snowboarding,
photography, camping, hiking,
mountainbiking,
whitewater kayaking,
surfing, movies, theatre, scuba diving, music of all varieties,
working out, cooking, bonsai, travel, ... you name it as soon as I
try it I'll probably fall in love with it... My latest interests
are sky diving and celtic fiddle. I haven't done either yet but
looking into both.
The first things people usually notice about me
I've frequently got some kind of minor injury. Mostly from mountain
biking (free ride mostly). Right now it's actually from barefoot
running (wait a minute isn't this barefoot stuff supposed to let me
run injury free?) :)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
(A) Dantes Inferno and Born to Run (B) PCU (C) Fragile Procelain
Mice (and many, many others) (D) All of them... Indian, Carribbean,
BBQ, Chinese, Italian, to name a few but not particularly in that
order.
The six things I could never do without
1. My family 2. My friends 3. My snowboard 4. My mountain bike 5.
My work (I love it) 6. My computer (unfortunately)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The state of the world and our nation and how I/we can improve
it?
My first step has been moving from my gas guzzling performance car
to a Jetta TDI. Going green is fun! :)
On a typical Friday night I am
It depends... Could be packing up for a early morning kayaking trip
or Hanging out with some friends intown or even staying at home
cleaning up... just depends on my mood and what's on my todo list.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I, like most men (probably all men really :)), don't really
understand the female mind but always willing to listen...
