About Me

Hey, leave me some love...
AIM SN: DeluxeDutch
Well, if I really have to summarize myself in a short blurb, here goes:
My name is John Charles Decker.
My life is a never ending cycle: The cycle of work, pleasure, and sleep. When I'm not tending the bar, I'm usually at home with my awesome roommates (who, just so, happen to be my best friends in this life).
I am the most stereotypical Capricorn around; read anything about my sign and you'll have a good basic understanding of me... Not that I really buy into astrology, but coincidence happens.
I really like to have fun, and fun can mean a lot of different things for me.
I try to live my life to the fullest, and with no regrets. But if I have nothing to do on a given day, I WILL sleep the day away.
I drink pretty frequently, not to get drunk all the time, but mostly just to take the edge off.
I hit the reefer quite a bit.
I can drink a liter of hard liquor in a night, no problem, assuming I'm determined on getting plastered. I have one hell of an alcohol tolerance, and I guarantee, I can drink you under the table. I am a bartender, after all.
I love thrills.
I savor good, intelligent conversation.
I'm a good cook, because I love good food and drink.
I live for having barbeques and parties with friends.
I crave knowledge at all times. Whether it's reading a book, the news, or Wikipedia, or watching the History Channel, Discovery, or PBS, I'm constantly seeking new information. I'm also a trivia master. I've NEVER lost a game of Trivial Pursuit.
I appreciate the simple pleasures in this world; A pink sky at sunset (or sunrise... I see a lot of those), feeding birds, or the sound and smell of the ocean.
I'm a pretty calm, laid-back kind of guy; it takes a long time to ever see me angry (unless we talk politics and you happen to disagree with me).
I'm funny... or at least I think so. I love to see my friends laugh and smile.
I'm having a good time when the people I care about are enjoying themselves.
I'm a happy-go-lucky, yet responsible (sounds paradoxical, I know) kind of guy who's always looking for more interesting, intelligent, humorous people to be involved in my life.

I'd like to meet:

Crazy, fun loving, thrill seeking, intelligent people. I love to hear from everybody... unless, of course, you like George W. Bush.

Meeting Jesus would be pretty cool too, I guess. But I think that whole English - Ancient Aramaic language barrier might be a bit of a problem. But I wouldn't mind chilling and having a nice glass of wine with him, or maybe a loaf of bread. I do make a pretty mean sourdough.

Oh yeah, I'd also like to meet people that can watch this for 20 minutes and never find it any less amuzing.

That's what happens when you try to breakdance on the Shabbat. Keep the seventh day holy, shit.

Tom is the man.

Tom created a site that has been helping friends find old friends, helping distant friends stay close, and helping guys to hook up with random chicks. God bless you Tom! ::raises a glass::

Harold and Kumar

Yeah, if you've ever smoked weed in your God damn life, you'd better go see that movie. My face hurt for a good hour after I left the theatre because I was laughing so hard. Another piece of advice......
