About Me

I'm in my 4th year of teaching. I work primarily with 6th graders teaching Earth Science but also have a class of seniors in University Prep. They're a motley crew but fantastic all the same and I'm sad to think that they'll go off and become independent young adults after this year and probably fall out of contact with me. I'm trying to buy a home... as I figure that's the next logical step in life and I'm tired of paying as much rent as I do. I have the most fantastic girlfriend to date-- she can be thanked for the layout and so forth... we all know I wouldn't do that on my own.
I love sports as much as I love sitting in front of my computer. Currently I play softball, football, and floor hockey but I'm always open to other options and opportunities. I don't video game as much as I used to, but I play a lot of Flyff (MMORPG), Sims 2, and Star Trek Armada II. When I can't handle those, you'll find me playing solitaire (3 card draw, record is 58 seconds), freecell, or dice wars.

My Interests

I'll give anything a shot... or I'll give a lame reason as to why I won't :pmostly teaching, anime, hockey, bowling, doing any sport for that matter, computer games, and finding the right girl.

I'd like to meet:

Well I've met my special someone, but I'm always up for new friends in the area (UCSD area) gimme a shout.And finally... anyone who can figure out my code... I thought this up the other day and am curious if YOU can figure out my message! :D 021321211121122371521133132371121313221133111337141212141322 11213132211342112..

Music:

Anything. Well... maybe not rap... or at least bad rap. A good beat and good lyrics is all it takes to sell me.

Movies:

Have to admit, it comes down to sci-fi, comedy, "chick flicks", and the likes... not so much for the drama and horror...

Television:

Depends how bored I am... but my deep dark secret is waking up at 7am on Saturdays for Saturday morning cartoons... which will be AWESOME when I can watch em with my kids and make them pancakes or waffles or crepes too!

Books:

Honestly not much of a book person... I read when I have to and I read the stuff I'll assign to my kiddies but someone would have to recommend something for me to read... I don't usually just pick a book up and jump right in.

Heroes:

Everyone who is doing what they want to with life. Not letting anyone tell them who they are or what they should be doing.

My Blog

Makin’ the move...

So I'm considering myself off myspace. I'll check it out once in a blue moon but I'm pretty much enthralled with facebook. You can find me there ;D
