About Me

i would be the asian looking one in the pic, that is of course unless i've decided to put up a picture with other people in it. if there's only one guy in the pic, well, that would probably be me. bottom line, i'm forest. i'm 27. i'm 5'8". yes, i'm an ex-cheerleader, you got a problem with it, well, you can go to hell. i'm currently taking a break from a master's program at radford university; working on my MS in school counseling. at the moment i'm working in advertising sales for the roanoke times (read it, it's good). i am a graduate of james madison university with a BA in english with a concentration in creative writing, a BS in psychology, and a minor in asian studies. my goal is to get my doctorate in clinical or counseling psychology then become a counseling psychologist for the US Navy. i am a delta chi. i cheered for JMU and also for RU, but i'm retired now. i'm currently starting in on a life-long (hopefully) hobby of fly fishing. i like reading, writing, messing with technology, travelling, cooking, motor sports (but not nascar), Navy and JMU football, meeting new people, and a whole slew of other things. i'm known to be a nice guy, but the truth is i'm just me, take it or leave it. yeah, i'm single, have been for a few years. might change, might not, you never know what the future brings. there's a saying, one i probably made up, but i don't know "we must stand alone before we can stand by others." life's interesting like that. i'm looking to meet new people out here since i have more time on my hands. looking to do some miniature wargaming as well.

I'd like to meet:

you know, i've never believed in the perfect mate, i just hope to find someone who's perfect for me. so, i guess i do have some kind of idea what i'd like. someone who's intelligent, sweet, kind, open minded, no prejudices (i hate that shit), someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, someone who isn't afraid to stand up to me and call me on my bullshit, independent, i like dark hair and light eyes, but that's the first thing to go if i meet someone. i like someone who's fit, cause that shows she cares enough about herself to exercize and eat right, if you can't do the basics in life, you can't do things that are more complicated, you know?

Music:

pretty much anything that moves me, so yeah, i'll leave it up to that

Movies:

the usual suspects, la confidential, bringing out the dead, three seasons, casablanca, boondock saints

Television:

Heroes, Scrubs, Survivorman, Top Chef, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Books:

way too many to count, my collections spans not only bookcases, but bookcases in different houses

Heroes:

my father, cal ripken, chuck yeager
