Somethings you just can't change no matter how much you want them to...

About Me

I'm a very out going person who loves to make people laugh and be the center of attention at times. I love being outdoors, I can be found out jogging, playing tennis, riding my mountain bike, or just out for a walk. Cooking is becoming one of my biggest hobbies since I started working at the Sunpree as a cook. And I don't mind cooking for people, just ask. I enjoy going out with friends and having a goodtime. I'm open to just about anything and look forward to learning something new. I've been trying to keep things simple and not to get worked up about anything cause it's not worth the stress. I can be very intellectual or I can be a complete dumbass depending on the situation. I recently moved to Raleigh and don't really know many people here.

My Interests

When I get some spare time to myself I like to do just about anything as long as I'm not sitting around and wasting my life away. Getting a bunch of friends together and going out for a drink can't ever go wrong. I wouldn't call myself a jock by far but I love playing sports and just being outdoors. Somethings that I love to do are playing football, tennis, ping pong, going out for a jog, riding my mountain bike around is always fun in traffic.....lol. When I can I like to read books on science and other nerdy things. Cooking has been an old intrest revisited because of my job at the beach. I never have a problem cooking for a friend just ask. Getting with a good friend, jump in the car and just ride........now thats a goodtime.

I'd like to meet:

I'm up for meeting just about anyone who wants to have a goodtime. Nothing like going out for some good laughs. I'm looking to meet a really cool gal who knows how to carry on a conversation. A person who is physically active and can push me when I'm being lazy. Who are self motivated and not about what everyone else is doing. I like girls who aren't afraid to play sports or get really competitive with guys. I love a good shit talker. I also like getting up with old friends and talk about old times over a pint.

Music:

I'm always listening to music no matter where I am. I listen to all types. Some of my favorite artists include, Rascal Flatts, Tim Mcgraw, Fort Minor, Jay-Z, The Game, T.I., DMB, 2pac, Shedaisy, Rage Against the Machine, Nickelback, John Mayer, and I'm willing to give anything a try once. As you can see from my list, my range of music is pretty wide.
..

Movies:

I like all types of movies really, except war movies they seem to bore me. The Rock, Days of Thunder, Road Trip, Grumpy Old Men, All the Friday movies, are some of my favorites. I love a good comedy anytime. Horror movies are great for a late night. I'm not too picky on movies as long as it isn't too long or slow going.

Television:

I can't get enough of watching Seinfeld, I relate to so much of the show with my friends. Smallville,Scrubs, Lost, Dead Zone, just about anything on Discovery Channel. I can't stop watching the food network and then making the stuff I just watched. And a good episode of King of the Hill can never be wrong.

Books:

I like mostly science and science fiction books. Lately I've been reading the Hithchikers Guide books and really into them. I have also read Do Fish Drink Water, book about all sorts of facts. Usually anything dealing with the science of space I can read. Books about facts andmethods can always capture my intrest. I want to try to read the Sherlock Holmes books to whenever I get the time to.

Heroes:

People who are different that accept and embrace it. People who make it from nothing. I will always look up to my little bro because he made it and I will always be proud of him. I admire people who can go outside the norm and aren't afraid to be critized for thinking outside the box and not conforming to everyone else. My friends inspire me everyday and in turn help me to become better. I think there is a hero in everyone and some people just choose not to be one and others just do it because thats who they are.

My Blog

WTF?

If theres anything that people know about me is that I've never really chosen to take the easy route in life. I would much rather choose to work my ass off than skip through it scott free. I'm just so...

Is it worth it?
