I am here for Networking

About Me

Bread good, fire bad. I'm just your typical hunter/gatherer. I'm not very smart, but I can lift heavy objects. Jack of all trades, master of none.

My Interests

Breathing, sleeping, eating, muay Thai, BJJ, running, social interaction, computers and cars. I try to run and workout daily and do my best to ignore the cool computer games that yearn for my attention. I spend a good amount of my day working at a startup that actually generates real revenue, master minding my own web site ideas and wondering where all my finite and precious time goes each day. I'm also an excellent consumer from time to time and have found that shopping for electronics never gets old and that shopping for clothes can be quite the adventure if you have no idea where to look. I'm doing my part to prevent a recession and increase domestic GDP growth. Are you?

I'd like to meet:

Ideally, I'd like to meet someone who has roughly the same interests as I do and could wax poetic about them in a heartbeat, someone who does not mind debating philosophical points, who cares about business prospects but can spurt out toilet humor and moreover, all within the same breath.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Television:

Joost and YouTube. I don't watch tv.

Books:

I've stopped reading books lately due to a lack of time. But when I was a youth, my favorite books was just about anything by John Steinbeck with Tortilla Flat and Cannery Row being my favorites. These days, I just read the usual car and tech magazines when I have the time.
