About Me


Some random things I feel that you may want to know about me:
-If I had a lot of money I would live in a normal house with an awesome view.
-I look for the best in people and feel that I get along with everybody.
-I give good advice, but often forget to take my own advice. I'm alot better off when I remember to do that.
-When reacting to a situation, my first instinct isn't always the best. I make better decisions when I suspend my judgement.
-The things that I like best about people are the things that make them different.
-I am an engineer but I consider myself a little retarded at the things that other engineers are good at.
-I don't feel bad about that at all.
-Parents love me...I'm not sure how I feel about that.
-Balance is one of the most important things in my life. The others are ALL and NOTHING.
-I'm extremely driven, but I have chosen to devote my life to achieving goals that have nothing to do with making money.
-I can be a hypocrite.
-I think smiling feels good.
-Visits to the gym are like shaving and doing laundry. I don't really consider the possibility of not going.
-My two favorite places are The Beach and The Mountains.
-I can't stand it when people lie.
-I love to exaggerate.
-I can never find anything that I am looking for.
-When I party I am more fun when I drink hard liquor instead of beer.
-The day after a party I am more fun when I drank beer instead of liquor.
-I have a tattoo on each shoulder. One is a Northwest landscape, the other is a Texas / Louisiana landscape. They are full of colour and make me more intimidating to homies in rival gangs.
-I appreciate when people tell me how I can improve. I may not take it so well right away but I appreciate it in the end.
Some things I doubt you'll want to know about me but I want to put them on hereanyway:
-I don't like wearing shirts with brand names on them.
-For the longest time my viscious swing and I were batting 1.000. The day I tried to brag about it I hit the ball right at somebody.
-I sometimes catch myself laughing "at" people.
-Old people like me even though I find it awkward being around them.
-When I get a headache and take Tylenol, my headache goes away but comes back at the same time the next day.
-Food to me is like gas for my car. Fortunately my sense of taste is sub-satisfactory.
-Do you know the guy at work that everybody thinks is weird and creepy?...Ya, I get along with that guy and not just because I think he'll spare me when he finally rampages the office with an uzi.
