Short Biography:

I am straight forward, and pretty laid back. My new life philosophy is basic: Do good and be happy. It is working out marvelously. You should try it.

I think I have a great sense of humour, but everyone thinks they have a great sense of humor; so it may not count for much. Things I find funny: The Office, any joke that revolves around word play, sarcasm, satire done well, and The Three Stooges.

Also, I am a introspective guy. I like knowing what makes me tick and why. I feel that a better world can start with me if I work hard enough. 

Random things about me: 

  1. I think nerdy girls are hot. Is it sexist to say a woman is hot?
  2. I have found something I like in every person I have ever met. 
  3. I have embarrased myself so badly 3 times that I can never forget. Word of note, never ASSUME that someone is pregnant.
  4. I laugh at myself because I think I am a little weird.
  5. My self imposed nickname in elemetary school was "Flash." I wanted a nickname. It didn't stick. 
  6. I have a secret that no one will ever know. 
  7. I think freckles are sexy.
  8. I randomly quote lines from movies in conversations. I am not really sure why I do this, but I get a kick out of it when someone can name the movie.

Favorite activities:
Things I love to do. Whether I get time to ACTUALLY do them; whole different matter. 1. Micro-brews. Most are great hangouts ran by people who love doing what they do. 2. Movies. I love grabbing the popcorn and Jr mints and catching the latest! Something still magical about the experience. 3. Live music. I especially like open mic nights at the local pub or dive. Jazz, folk, hip hop, poetry- doesn't really matter what it is. 4. White water! Love, I MEAN LOVE white water rafting. Too much fun! 5. Road trips. Gimme some tunes and the open road with a rousing game of punch bug, I am there! 6. Road side BBQ. It may look a little "interesting" from the outside, but if there are 18 pickups in the parking lot... its good! 7. Heading to the beach. I am basically transparent (yeah, that white) and am somewhat shaped like a doughnut, which is irony in the highest order, but I love the ocean and the sand and the frolicking and everything thing else that goes with an afternoon at the beach. 8. Coffee houses. Friends and great conversation, or my macbook and a cup o joe, pretty much heaven. 9. Factory tours. This is odd I know. I just love to know how things are made! 10. I am also an accomplished couch potato. I have been known to watch an entire season of Dexter in one setting, but this only happened twice, and the first time I was sick and feverish.

All things technology. Weird historical trivia. I am a complete Cult of Mac ordained priest. I personally have 10 converts. Two more pending. This is sad.
