Computers (100% Mac Geek), the internet, playing as much texas hold 'em as i can, hanging out with my Juggalos, MST3k'ing bad movies with Mario (ever seen Active Stealth?), expanding my music collection, photography, reading, sleeping in on saturdays, Jamba Juice whenever i can, making people laugh, and generally causing trouble around Da No.
Plus a lot more stuff thats either too geeky to get into or the government has asked me not to talk about.
Im looking to meet some new local people for dating, fun, or whatever...I don't get along too well with people who are ignorant, self-centered or humorless.
A good sense of humor is one of the most important traits a person can have; those you cant laugh at a bad situation are in bad shape. Almost more than anything i love to hear a woman laugh! All of my friends are funny as hell so its always a good time! Im very friendly, send me a message!
