It's so hot!

About Me

24 years old, Gemini, June 7th, 1983. I work for California Bank & Trust managing our securities and position with the Federal Reserve Bank among other things. It's a decent job, they trust me with a surprising amount of responsibilities. I am perpetually the youngest person in my office. I live with two of my oldest friends in Clairemont Mesa. I have a gift and it is called sarcasm; to the point that my friends never assume something I say is genuine. Used to be a big anime and video game dork, nowadays I mostly only read a handful of manga and play Guitar Hero 3, which means I need new hobbies. Getting back into reading, used to play golf, going to Egypt mid-Feb 2008. I drive a Civic Hybrid, go me! I'm looking for a nice girl to snuggle up and watch movies and cook dinner and have endearing, adorable back and forth banter with. Then maybe bake a kid or two in the oven and take them to Disneyland. I enjoy taking ridiculous pictures of myself. 2008: Trying to give up fast food and soda, trying to eat at home, trying to learn how to cook some things beyond eggs and mac&cheese, trying to get into decent shape.

My Interests

Anime, games, movies, music, friends, billiards, pool, golf, hamburgers, my sweet new cell phone. And bears.

I'd like to meet:

Lincoln. Tall guy, long reach. Skinny guys fight til they're burger.

Chuck Palahniuk.

Sawyer from Lost.

Peter Jackson.

Myself in 25 years.

Resolution!

Nah, still don't want to write it out.  My first resolution starting today is no more soda.  I'm not convinced that going 100% is worth it, maybe like once a week is a more reasonably achiev...

Here’s what I was thinking about at work
