About Me

Life has been fun so far. I've got a boatload (or two) of friends and acquaintances. College life has been good to me and the working world is proving to be a good challenge. I'll be relocating to Alexandria and actually owning a place rather than just renting and I'm excited about that.First off, I'm an Eagle Scout. A fact I'm damn proud of and I still follow its rules. Next, I'm a geek, a well-rounded geek, but a geek all the same. If either of these scare you, walk away. I drink, I party, I exercise, I camp, I cook, I dance, I watch movies, I read, I date and I love to travel. I enjoy my computer games, paper and pencil RPGs. I go to all movie types rather than just he sci-fi ones (though sometimes I'll go to the bad ones just to satisfy a curiosity). I actually don't watch that much TV. I get my news online and the few shows that keep me fascinated, I don't I have time to watch. I like a lot of music. I'm not generally a fan of country or rap/hiphop, but there are exceptions to every rule.

My Interests

anime, camping, chess, computer programming, computers, cooking, fantasy, folk/ballroom dancing, go (the japanese boardgame), martial arts, massage(giving/getting), movies, music, philosophy, photography, religion, roleplaying, rock climbing, science-fiction, theology, video games, the list goes on and on.

I'd like to meet:

Robin Williams, other cool people, exercise/dance partners. I'm interested in dating, but I'm pretty busy right now. Meybe I'll meet somebody along the way

Music:

I'm a poet at heart, so I look at the lyrics first, if a song has them. Don't get me wrong, the rythem can move you, but I like words. I love my '80's and alternative music, but they just make up the majority of what I listen to. I enjoy most everything, even the occassional Rap or Country song, but honestly those are few and far between. MY favorites of the moment are: Billy Joel, Depeche Mode, VNV Nation, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Era, Simon and Garfunkel and the Prince of Persia:sands of time Soundtrack.

Movies:

Semi-movie nut. I hate TV, so I get movies and various series on DVD. Currently I am aiming to collevet everything Robin Williams has done. In addition, I have a nice collection of other must-see movies and even a few tv-series that struck my fancy. Random highlights of my collection: 10th Kingdom, Alien, Boondock Saints, Buffy the vampire slayer TV series, Dark City, Fiddler on the Roof, Fight Club, Goonies, Highlander (there should be only one), Iron Monkey, Jacob the Liar, Lord of the Rings (FotR& TT, both extended editions), MOULIN ROUGE, The Neverending Story, The Princess Bride, The Royal Tennenbaums, Spaceballs, The Three Musketeers, Vanilla Sky, X-men 1&2. Yeah, so I've got a movie collection. Wanna talk to me about movies? Go ahead

Television:

Evil, soul-sucking device, only good for playing movies, video games, and occasionally the weather and rarely the news.
