Sports: Swimming in pools, the ocean and the Hudson river (goal: another marathon next year!), scuba diving with the Wet n Wild divers of Queens College and my dive/surf/running buddy Andrea (mah munka), "surfing" in Long Beach, brazilian jiu jitsu @ the Serra academy with the crazy jungle monkeys, working out @ Synergy Levittown, snowboarding; running, rollerblading & biking on the Cross Island, taking my mountain bike off-road through the woods, white water rafting, camping, horseback riding. I'd like to learn to white water kayak, wakeboard, kite surf, windsurf and need to go hiking more!!!
Other: I love to read. I love to learn (working on my Scuba Instuctor certification). I love the sun, animals and small children. I wish I could save the world. I love going to church (miss being a youth leader!). I want a motorcycle and love looking at (and driving *hopeful look*) nice cars. I want to learn to fly a prop plane and a helicopter...
I'd like to meet:
I love meeting new people when I'm out and about. It always makes for an interesting time and great stories. I wouldn't mind meeting local people with similar hobbies or interests, and meeting a behavioral statistician would be fantastic!!!
I am NOT here for any romantic rondezvous, so please don't message me if that's what you want. Form a coherent thought before emailing me. Use spell check. "Yo ma, you look good" doesn't cut it. Dare to be different.
Music:
Everything....Alternative rock mostly--Seether, Hinder, 6 a.m, 3 Doors Down, EVE 6, Puddle of Mudd, Sublime, Nickelback, Uncle Kracker, Greenday, Sum 41, Bouncing Souls, Velvet Revolver, Hoobastank, NIN, Dropkick Murphy's, O.A.R (thanks Ry), Flogging Molly, Disturbed, Staind, Fuel, etc. I actually like country music, but not the depressing stuff. I love to dance to hip hop and reggae (no techno please!!). And, of course, the musical idol of all divers, the king of Carribbean Soul--Jimmy Buffett. :)
