About Me

I moved around alot being a child of a career Air Force man. However, I did much of my growing up in Tampa. I have a great group of friends and feel lucky to have them. I do not have any immediate family in Washington...but I always say that friends are your "hand-picked" family. I am passionate about my music and volleyball!!! My lifestyle is sort of an oxymoron...during the week I tend to be this pseudo-health nut. I go to the gym, do the usual, and I eat somewhat healthy, etc. Then the weekend comes, and I destroy everything that I built up by drinking and eating 3am fast food. I am quitting my bad habit of having the occasional clove cigarette. I have come to the conclusion that nightlife is my social life. I appreciate all styles of dancing. I have taken a few ballroom, latin, and swing lessons. I hope to take more in the future! I absolutely love nightlife, but I tend to stay away from clubs that would be considered meat-markets. Bars are okay, but I'd rather be dancing! I go to Green Lake in the summer to play some volleyball...and the mountains to snowbaord in the winter. I am much of a chameleon, and have many interests. I can act and dress appropriately for most occasions. I can have a conversation with a 3 yr old child all the way up to the President. OH, and I am one of the biggest animal lovers! I don't believe in keeping a bird in a cage as a pet. Hopefully, you can imagine why I feel that way, because there isn't enough characters left to explain! I tend to analyze things alot, maybe too much? I wish I could turn my thinking off sometimes. *sigh* My life is mostly black and white, with just a small amount of grey. I march to the beat of my own drum. I can be a pretty intense guy, but I am slowly trying to learn to chill a bit. What can I say...I am a Leo!

My Interests

I want to ever be evolving as a person! There is always room for self-improvement. I really love music and dancing. I like to play volleyball as well as most sports. I try to stay busy. Snowboarding = fun!

I'd like to meet:

Yo Mama..

Music:

.. width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .. I like mostly Alternative Music...but really love New Wave, Dark Wave, Gothic/Industrial/EBM, Alt Rock, and 80's. Depeche Mode, Covenant, The Smiths/Morrissey, The Cure, The Pixies, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Ministry, Cruxshadows, Belly, Nitzer Ebb, Wumpscut, Funker Vogt, Cocteau Twins, Apoptygma Berzerk, Assemblage 23, Frontline Assembly, VNV Nation, Pet Shop Boys, Joy Division, New Order, KMFDM, Front242, My life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Red Flag, Camouflage, Dead can Dance, Echo & the Bunnymen, Bauhaus/Peter Murphy, Concrete Blonde, Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, Razed in Black, Wolfsheim, NIN, Berlin, etc. I like some cheesy music too!

Movies:

The Crow, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton Flicks, Underworld, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Blade, Kill Bill, The Princess Bride, The Breakfast Club. Comedies: Airplane, Dumb and Dumber, Zoolander, Office Space. Kevin Smith movies. I like pretty much all sorts of movies even romance (The Notebook...sniff sniff), and musicals. It's really hard to find a genuinely scary movie though?

Television:

I don't watch alot of t.v. But I admit I do watch the Simpsons, Will and Grace, Friends, Food TV (Iron Chef!), Animal Planet, Discovery Channel.

Books:

You could be anyone by day, when the only thing that could give you away is the occasional band shirt and all the EBM in your cd collection. You probably have a day job, have alot of other interests besides goth, or are just too lazy to dress up for anything besides a club night. I bet you love 80's music.

I've been onboard 1 week today...

Well, I am adjusting fine here onboard the SBX-1 (see my pics). I must say, it's pretty easy adjusting since we are docked in Pearl Harbor. When we are ballast down, this thing is as stabl...

Something I would say...

I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no f-ing way paper can beat rock. Paper is supposed to magically "wrap around" rock, rendering it imm...
