Always get myself into interesting predicaments!

About Me

..

I am a 31 year old DC Native who has varied interests. I workout regularly, play recreation sports, do triathlons, take acting/improv classes, and produce/direct films/videos. Check out my youtube channel with some of my shorts below:

I am also a huge movie buff. I watch two movies every night (quite sad I know but, if you have seen my 52 inch wall mounted plasma in my room, you would understand!).
I love people and meeting different kinds of people. I even love people I hate. I am VERY extroverted and social.
I love travelling and trying new things. I have been blessed with a great life with great people surrounding me. I have the greatest friends and family in the world and for that I am thankful.

My Interests

Dewey Beach, partying, drinking, socializing, PS2, XBOX, watching movies, making movies, working out, kickball, and snowboarding!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and Everyone. My goal in life is to get to know as many people as I can before I die. Preferably open-minded, laid back, and non-judgemental people.

Music:

Grand National, Moon, Citzen's Utilities, Jellyfish, People in Planes, The Fratellis, Better than Ezra, Beck, Radiohead, Stereophonics, Ok Go, Robbers on a High Street, Head Automatica, We are Scientists, Bloc Party, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Kasabian, Chemical Brothers, The Faint, Lo Fidelity All Stars, Fischer Spooner, LCD Sound System, Groove Armada, Gorrilaz, Alien Ant Farm, My Chemical Romance, Stabbing Westward, Fall Out Boy, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, The Rapture, Under the Influence of Giants, The Postal Service, Lucious Jackson, Beastie Boys.

Books:

"My Sister's Keeper" is good and "Beneath the Banner of Heaven." I am obssessed with studying about mormons now.

Heroes:

Not that I admire the messages these people transmitted, but they had the power to convince mass amounts of people of ridiculous things. I am a talker, so I want to learn how these people convinced people to do really strange things.
Hitler, Joseph Smith (The Morman thing), David Koresh, you get where I am going with this.
