About Me

I'm the guy who can make people laugh and feel more relaxed in a given situation. I can be serious though when I need to be. I can be a pretty deep guy and don't mind having meaningful conversations. I'm all about doing anything for my family and friends. I'm pretty laid-back and easy to talk to. I like meeting new people, so feel free to ask me whatever you want. I also like to change the songs on my profile to go along with something going on in my life.

My Interests

I like hanging out with my friends. Playing and watching sports is cool too. I have the patience to play poker or chess for hours. I like listening to music, maybe even reading a book from time to time.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet a nice girl, someone whose positive attitude can rub off on me. I think it's amazing how an optimistic person can put you in a good mood. I'd like to think I do that for people, and I'd like for a girl to do the same. I think it's awesome when a girl can keep a conversation going about sports. It's cool too when a girl plays sports or at least is interested in watching.

Music:

Shinedown, Daughtry, Linkin Park, 3 Doors Down, and Hinder are all my favorites. I'd say I like Rock and Alternative music the best, but I like all kinds of music. I know enough about all of them. I think I'm good at finding the right song for a certain situation. I like going to concerts, and I've been to more country concerts than any other type of music concert.

Movies:

Anyone who knows me knows Dumb And Dumber is my favorite movie. Other movies I like are Old School, Dead Poets' Society, Forrest Gump, and Good Will Hunting. I like psychological thrillers such as Saw. I'm up for any kind of movie though depending on the situation. I actually have a soft spot for love/romance movies.

Television:

Seinfeld is the greatest show of all time. I also like Family Guy, American Idol, 24, Murder She Wrote, Making the Band, Laguna Beach, Real World, and poker.

Books:

The DaVinci Code, Seinfeld And Philosophy, I Am Right You Are Wrong, And Then There Were None, A Time To Kill, and Catcher In the Rye.

Heroes:

Phil Hellmuth, Pedro Martinez, Darryl Strawberry, Eeyore, and Twinkie the Kid. To be more serious, my family and friends, along with some teachers and coaches I've had are my heroes. I've learned so much from them.
