Remember, always be yourself. Unless you suck.

About Me

I'm just a nice semi normal guy. Pretty smart if i do say so myself. Mostly shy, quiet type...although i've overcome that a bit since becoming a teacher. Pretty much a home body, although i i love going out to eat, get some drinks and head to the movies. Hmmm...not sure what else to say, especially since this is starting to read like a personals ad..."To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

My Interests

Love going out to eat and drink. Movie buff. College sports. Internet/echat. Video games. Music. Stand-up comedy (social commentary). Most of my free time reading, because it relaxes me...and i'm a bit fantasy prone. I love to learn...about people, different subjects, etc. I'm a political kind of guy, although i certainly don't push my beliefs on others, especially those who aren't big on politics themselves. I recently joined the ACLU as i feel the need to become a bit more active. I enjoy learning about history and culture. Love stuff like philosophy, psychology, sociology, criminology...you know all that social science stuff...which makes sense since thats what i teach.

I'd like to meet:

Just some interesting new people...
