Would you like to come over for some beer and DP?

About Me

Well, I'll try and do this as best I can, because most of my friends know that talking about myself isn't necessarily my strong point; other people though... ha. In my 23 years of life I've gone through more than alot of people would have at twice my age, if at all.
sumitup
A week before beginning my senior year of high school I was diagnosed with stage 3B Hodgkins Lymphoma (Cancer, tards) and went through chemo/radiation therapy for about 2/3s of the school year. On my return to school, I volunteered to be the technical lead (head dork) on a Computers For the World trip. We took donated computers, mixed and matched to bring them up to snuff, then went to St. Petersburg, Russia for two weeks where we then set them up in two orpahnages and taught the kids how to use them. Quite a rewarding and eye-opening experience if I do say so.

I have of pretty odd sense of humor, which most people seem to enjoy; although I do have my critics (don't we all?). I like spending time with my friends; day drives, road trips, camping, going to the bar, a concert... pretty much everything is fair game. For the most part, people seem to find me fairly enjoyable to be around; at least that's what they tell me, for all I know they could be lying.
At present, I'm working for FedEx Express while going to college for a business degree so I can move up within the company. Yeah yeah, I know I should aspire to bigger and better things, but so far I really enjoy working there.
I'm quite the nerd, used to be a avid PC user but have since gone Mac and haven't looked back at all. I'm also a gamer; used to play WoW, but not so much anymore cause I didn't have the time to devote to that thing (well, at least to make it worth the $15 a month). Now I just play on my XBox 360 with friends and the like.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who is self-motivating, someone who strives to make themselves better and move up in the world. Someone interested in the same things as me, likes to be active and go out to nature; but at the same time knowing how to kick-back and releax. A good (and somewhat morbid) sense of humor is a definate plus. I do not do drugs (nor have I ever), and don't really like to surround myself with people that do. Somebody that can be trusted and that has integrity.

Be sure to look at my interests, and as well as who I am before messaging me. If you think I sound like the kind of person that you'd be interested in talking to, then I'll probably be interested in talking to you. The MySpace Composition Book Club , be part of something.
