They just don't see my nicenessness, or my fiercenessness...-Jade ANTM 6

About Me

I guess I'm not too complicated...I'm just a college aged guy trying to get by in the NoVA and (sometimes) Logan, Utah areas...I go to Utah State University where I major in Molecular Biology and Behavioral Psychology, and minor in Computer Science. I'm pretty chill; I enjoy going out, but at the same time enjoy just kicking back and relaxing around some good friends. I'm often told that I care a lot for others, so I guess that's a strength of mine (although I could argue that it's a weakness too). I'm an outdoorsy type of guy, as long as I'm doing something that doesn't bore the hell out of me: hiking, various sports, running, etc. Basically, I try to make the best of any situation. Being in Utah, I've noticed that the people here are generally less accepting of diversity (whether it be cultural, religious, or sexual), and as such, tend to be a little closed minded for my tastes. It's sad, really. I grew up in DC, so I'm used to diversity and such, and tend to look for that in my friends. So, having said that, if you're a good person, feel free to hit me up. I don't accept friend requests without a message if I don't know you. So send a message so I can get to know you! =P

The sole argument facing homosexuality today is that it is not biological: that it is simply immoral and disgusting because scientists have yet to find a "gay gene." While this may be true, one must b...
