How does one write an about me section? this is a question mankind has wrestled with since the dawn of time. I will give it my best shot.
One of the biggest defining parts of my life has been my weight loss. In highschool I weighed 250 pounds.. even for a 6 foot tall guy that was a lot of fat to be carting around. Every day I felt like crap and my confidence was in the hole. After some major changes in my life I knew I had to really get on it. The only person I could rely on 100% to make me happy was me. Now I am a sleek 169 pounds with 11% body fat and have gone from a 42 inch waist to a 30, a extra large shirt to a medium. I still have chubby cheeks which I am somewhat certain will never leave me but I am strong, healthy and feel much much better. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I am careful with what I eat and I go to the gym many times a week. I am giving my body the respect it has always deserved, and putting the past that I never wanted behind me. I have grown a lot emotionally too, I am stronger and better than ever before. I still have my weaknesses but I strive everyday to overcome them.
I love to watch movies, my collection is so huge..which explains why I have no money from my first job. I love the outdoors (when it is warm anyways) biking is my passion, when the weather is right I am gone for hours exploring everything and everywhere my pedals take me. I watch perhaps too much tv and spend too much time on my laptop (which is a weird plastic third arm basically). Generally just hanging out with my friends and being a nerd is on the menu too, I won't tell you about my 19th level orc barbarian if you don't ask (and I recommend you don't haha).
I am a graduate of Sheridan College's advertising program, I looked for jobs that interested me, didn't find any, so I am planning on going back to school september 2007 (not sure where or what yet).
I am currently a night stock zombie at zellers.. little pay, little sleep, weird co-workers.. it builds character and pays the bills though. As a result I am on wonky hours. I usually work until 6 or 7 am and sleep until 2 or 3 pm. Then I repeat the cycle. I will relish the day I quit for a better job, one day I will see sunlight again, oh yes.
Everything happens for a reason, I truly believe that. Everything good or bad has shaped me into who I am today. I am a huge believer in fate and karma and I try to be the best person I can be. I am a vegetarian and I have been one since I was 16. I am not militant about it though. You don't force your meat on me, I won't force my tofu on you.
I am a bit of a neat freak and cleaning sometimes is a form of meditation for me. I value punctuality and hardwork.
In the future I want to dedicate my life to helping people. I would love to work for a non profit agency or something of the ilk. I love animals and nature a lot and would be immensely happy to spend my life working to protect and preserve them. I hope to find someone perfect for me oneday and travel the world (I know everyone says that but it is true).
It might seem like I am kinda an overly serious person and there is that element to me. This is balanced though by a huge goofball who loves to watch cartoons, be silly with his friends and still to this day eyes the toy section in stores with childlike joy. If you would like to know a little more about who I am check this out my myers briggs personality it is some seriously interesting stuff and I recommend you take the test to figure out what type you are if you have the chance.
If you would like to be friends feel free to add me, if you aren't a complete whacko I will add you back :)
