About Me

ADD REQUEST POLICY
Unless I already know you from somewhere else, I take a good, hard look at my add requests to see if the profiles seem like they belong to real people, with actual IRL friends in their friends lists. (Only having comments that ALL say "Thanks for the add!" doesn't cut it!) So to be on the safe side, PLEASE drop me a line and give me some idea of who you are and why do you think I'm special (heh) before sending off the add request :)
BTW, despite the huge amount of friends I have on here (and truthfully, I do know 80% of them), I'm more active on Facebook -- because it's SOOOOOO much better!
Where do I start? For starters, I'm an IT guy who works for a major bank in San Francisco's Financial District.
I received my bachelors in Business Administration, concentrating in Management Information Systems from San Jose State University back in May 2005.
I grew up in the San Francisco East Bay (Contra Costa Co.), and attended some high school that had their football team recently end their national consecutive winning streak (De La Salle). (I was actually at the game up in Seattle, when they finally lost)
When I try to find some time out of work, I enjoy the company of my friends, whether it's low key, kicking back at someone's place or pretty off the wall that involves clubs, bars, and maybe some alcohol ;)
I like to balance out the night time activities I do. One weekend I'd be hitting the clubs to get my groove on. The next and most weekends, I'd be hanging out at Irish pub (shocking I'd hit such a "breeder" place? I don't think so! lol) or even at a buddy's place with my friends (gay and straight) having a few drinks and casual conversation.
When I was living down in the South Bay, I could frequently be found at some bar doing some karaoke. And you wouldn't find me singing an array of showtunes (though an occassional one may slip though)! I'm usually straining my voice at some rock song that I love.
I'm always up for a chat, so you can AIM me at RAPP81.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Just anyone who's cool, true to themselves, laid back, well educated, and open minded.

I'm finally moving to the city at the end of January '08. To work and live in the same city is going to be an adventure! I'd love to meet some drama free (required!) guys to join me in this adventure =)

When it comes to guys for dating or a relationship, I tend to gravitate towards clean cut, masculine, fun, laid back guys, just like myself. It would be nice to go out with someone who can't stand drama of any kind (like I do) and someone who can break through most of the stereotypes of being gay.

Also, anyone who went to DLS/CHS with me... feel free to hit me up :)
