Eternal Sunshine of the Geeky Kind

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The low-down: I'm 24 and I'm loving life! I'm an up-beat, optimistic guy who likes to keep his life drama-free. I'm currently persuing my Master's Degree at Florida International University (FIU) in Computer Science. (No, this does not mean I like Star Trek and wear tourist shirts and sandals). I'm a very goal-oriented guy who will not settle for mediocracy in any aspect of my life. I am also very honest; I believe honestly really is the best policy and lying only brings forth more problems than what you started with.I am always up for meeting intellectual, goal and family-oriented individuals; meeting someone like that in Miami is VERY rare, but I have not given up hope. Anything else? Just contact me.. would love to hear from you.* ;)
*Oh, and if your top friends consist of shirtless models each more gorgeous than the next, don't bother in contacting me; I highly doubt those are your best friends/most important people in your life.
