I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Most of my life is spent running and doing push-ups, thinking about natural resource optimization and pollution, waiting for pearl jam to tour, trying not to get hit by cars on erwin road, getting my car fixed, and pacing around whole foods trying to decide what to eat. I'm not a terribly exiting person but I have a lot to talk about and comment on.

My Interests

Fitness, rock music/rock history, hiking, biking, photography, traveling to new cities and countrysides, economics, environmental issues, cafes and coffee shops, rock clubs, libraries...love dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. but don't have any.

You know, cool people.
