About Me

I'm a mountain of a man. Or a man of a mountain... I'm not sure which. I weigh in at a hefty 240 (lowest weight since high school! Rockstar!) and stand 6'4". I have really long blonde hair and a bushy goatee. I can brench press a semi and squat the Chrysler Building. Ok, so maybe I can't, but I can wiggle my pinky toe without moving any other toes. Let's see *you* do that. I'm insanely verbose... I speak at great length and with great eloquence about absolutely nothing. I'll play Devil's Advocate in any argument, whether I agree with you or not. I'm very open and extroverted, while at the same time cripplingly insecure. I sleep with an Alf doll. I sometimes take my niece to the mall and pretend she's my daughter because it makes people smile at me. I hit on men to make them uncomfortable. One time I ate a grape without washing it off first. I write limericks about everyone I meet. My comedic timing is impeccable.... to your mom! Oh, and as of 07/30/05, I'm married to the most amazing girl in the world. Tessa and I are incredibly happy, and if you didn't come to my wedding then you suck, cause there was karaoke and it rawked.

My Interests

Computers and other nerdly activities, Chess, Saxophoning (it's a word, damnit), Bad Poetry, Genocide

I'd like to meet:

Well, now that I'm a married man, I guess I don't need to meet any more supermodels. Which will be a bummer to the super models I was dating, but hey... I'm not getting any younger here. I'm not much for the talking to random people .. thing, but if someone is really interesting I would chat with them for awhile. So, really interesting people is who I want to meet, I guess.
