About Me

I take great pride in my music selection, but I also try to be open-minded. If you have at least some favorite bands in common, don't be afraid to come at me.
I do like it when people message me first before randomly adding me as a friend. Though, I must say that I am very flattered. I don't see this as a popularity contest, and I'm already content with the friends I have so far. However, that doesn't mean I wouldn't be open to welcoming more. I think it just defeats the purpose of being friends if you're not going to introduce yourself. Right? Of course.
A classmate once told me that you could tell a lot about a person from the music that they listen to. I believe the same thing, even before he mentioned that to me. As he took a look at my iPod, he noticed Telepopmusik, Linkin Park, and JS Bach on the same playlist. I have great appreciation for the creative outlets of other people, whether it be music, modern art, or just a journal entry.
Right now, I'm working to get my PhD in Psychiatry. And then, we'll see what goes on after that.
I like to think that I'm a pretty out-going guy. I like going out to eat and having nice dinners with friends or family. Trying new things with new and old friends is something that I like to do often.

I'd like to meet:

Friends are good for you. Add me...your body will appreciate it(Just don't forget to send me a message first. Introduce yourself and tell me about you).

I'd like to meet all kinds of people, but I particularly like meeting people with similar interests:
1. Drama-free,
2. Respectful,
3. Know how to have fun,
4. Eat Japanese food,
5. Watch the Discovery Channel,
6. Studying or Employed in the Science Field.
Usually, I'd like to have the option of meeting up with cool new people. It'd work out better if you feel comfortable meeting up after talking .. for awhile. I'm really straightforward. You'd know if I wanted to hang out or not. You should be, too.
