Are you suprised when i touch de dwarf eenside!?

About Me

If i were to describe myself when i was 15, i wore Z Cavariccis which tapered into flared hightops, bugleboy tshirts, i had glasses with a strap to hold them around my neck, braces, pimples, and the worst...a mullet. but that was almost 15 years ago...Im at the cusp of a new career as a Radiologic Technologist now and it feels so good to finally have a sense of direction in life doing something i actually love and helping people in the process. 5 years ago i didnt even know how X-rays were created, now im basically an expert in practically all aspects of diagnostic radiography. Im a born and bred NewYorker and i plan on keeping NYC as my base of operations. there is no place in this country that pays as much, is as diverse, or is as exciting as NYC.Im an honest person who understands the importance of being humble when appropriate, but mindful of self-respect when necessary. Listening is essential to successful communication, and i do so love conversations, especially about music and fanboy shit like StarWars among other things. i love hard rock, classic rock, and extremely heavy metal, especially when being played on a jukebox in a chill dark bar. but i also love dancing (yes) to 80s pop and New Wave at clubs that feature said genres. "rock!? dancing!? they mix like oil and vinegar!" well, its very important to be a well rounded person, and different influences promote personal growth, right? makes a person more interesting, i say. anyway, if you want to make my acquaintance, say something to me first, and DO NOT SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST without SAYING SOMETHING FIRST! i cant stress that enough. if you violate this disclaimer, i will automatically deny you and i might even send you a nasty email. ive done it before and been cursed out, but i dont care. its actually amusing. other than that, send me a shout-out if you like what you read.

My Interests

Good conversation, Rock, beer, Radiography, fine art, fantasy/sci-fi, izm, extremely heavy metal, comics, diseases, pathologies that can be detected with diagnostic Xrays, phone surveys, trivia, bowling, Galaga, gluttony, belching..

I'd like to meet:

people who exude intelligence, sarcastic wit, and a morbid sensibility, and love the art of rocknroll music...and the 80s, and metal. and love to drink beer..yes beer.If you want to get to know me, PLEASE DO NOT send me a friend request without at least emailing me first! if im at a bar/club, i dont just walk up to someone and grab their hand and deem them my friend and expect them to comply, right? thats madness. show me youve got substance. throw something at me (in text form, of course) that you might think will pique my interest. otherwise, you look like a mere collector of pseudofriends with no desire to really get to know anyone...sorta looks compensatory for a shallow personality. sound harsh? i dont think so, and you automatically eliminate yourself from this category if you just say something to me first, the more original and outlandish the better. wit+sarcasm+opinionatedness+shockvalue+ORIGINALcompliments+ intelligence= a potential friend.
