Nonchalant optimism is true living!

About Me

Live life to the fullest, do what you want, and learn to accept others and keep an open mind for things you don't know a lot about. Strong opinions are made when you have a deep knowledge of the subject. An interest is gained when you are in the state of mind to accept. I like to try my best and do the things that make me feel good. I hate when someone believes that the only way to have fun is to drink TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey

My Interests

Way too many to list off, here... I guess the things going on in my life right now include: Work, College, Researching for the future, going to the gym, learning Japanese, trying to steer my life in the correct direction...but waves are hard to control. Some of the interests of mine that mainly have been put on hold include Water polo, kayaking, biking, backpacking, reading romance novels or novels about non-fictional events or life-stories in Japan, watching movies, making clothes, shopping at thrift stores to find the cool clothes that no one remembers, going to skate shows (in-line skating), playing video/computer games like World of Warcraft, Halo 2, Counterstrike, the sims, GTA Vice City, DDR, guitar hero, Diablo II, etc.... I'm currently trying to find more balance in life.. but I'm finding it difficult while having so many interests, so many friends, and so many hours at work plus classes at Sierra. I'm slowly working out any issues in my life, not that I have many. My one "interest" that will never leave me... is loving life. I will always be happy.. no matter what happens, I have faith in myself that I'll pull through and make it somehow! Unfortunately I learned how to frown now. That bothers me.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who knows how to have fun without getting drunk every night. Mainly I want to find all sorts of people who know how to smile, laugh, and have a great time no matter what you're doing... just have an open mind... I need to see the smile. I tend to like nerdy guys. Why? good question =) they're fun.
