Saif does stuff with yea, and sup. Yo.

About Me


Sup. I design. I enjoy making other people laugh, and having friends I can be totally honest with, and not have to worry about drama. I like people in general, and always love to study new people - physical for art, or personality wise for expanding my understanding of life. I hang out with friends. I joke, bonsai, and try to do new things. I live in OK; so I don't do... that many new things.
I'm a partner in/ owner of/ art director of a start up, so I spend alot of time in front of this computer. All the rest is spent either hanging out or downstairs in my party house of a home - it's nice to have friends come to you. I've also been doing recruitment for Tulsa Tech for 2 years now, and this'll be my last year. I do it part time, but it's still conflicting with my company too much timewise. I wanted to give back, and I think I've done that.
In my short lil lifetime I've gone from outcast to popular back to skater / outsider into class president [at Tech] while in school, the outta school and into a social type and then into workaholic - and now kinda back into a social / balance with running my own business. I've gone from BAHS and hating it lol, to hanging out at Union and Rhema and ORU and hating on TU, to now being around TU types [and hating on Rhema? lol] and all kinds of assortments of people, alot from Lj. I feel kinda lucky to have been exposed to alot of phases, and friends - I kinda feel it enriches me and gives me a wider perspective.
I keep a lj to help friends know what's up / event coordinate, and even a bit on me from time to time. I keep a Xanga to try and keep in touch with some hardcore band type friends. I keep a Myspace to take advantage of running into all the old friends, and also because somehow I think it might lead to meeting the right girl lol - but I'm obviously jus a hopeless romantic with a need for new outlets lol.
I'm also pretty happy with my current skin and music. Way to go me. Clearly.
Music - THE EVER AWESOME - Yoko Kanno! Well, she creates and composes music - this is performed by the Seatbelts. "Blue" - from Cowboy Bebop! I'm going to start doing anime music from anime I really love / current in Japan. Thought I'd start out with Blue though, just to give love to old school before going forward :)

My Interests

New things without fear, old things without stress. A relationship with God without religion, fun without drama, friends that follow the last 2, Soul Calibur, eventually getting back being into chess, eventually learning Go better, soundtracks and mood type music, brunettes, blondes/others with great senses of humor, good entertainment, bonsai, Tulsa, graphic design, ornery, soundtracks, anime, movies, cats, sarcasim, the daily show, 50 cent movies, brunettes, driving around aimlessly, spinners on hoopties, office nicknacks, Lost, Arrested Development

I'd like to meet:

Fun people, laid back, and such types.

New people for sure! Maybe also friends of friends that I haven't met cause of lack of opportunity. Open minded and fun loving get extra points.

Old people?!@ Yea, it's been quite a life already, and like - yea. sup. I enjoy running into old BAHS types, and Rhema/ORU types I used to and still could hang with, and of course Union and Tulsa Tech friends and randoms. So yea. Sup.

Girls? - I'm content with being single, but want to share my life with someone, ya know? I'd like to have someone to do 'non-guy things' with. If I want to go see the christmas lights - there's someone. Watch the stars, whatever. So, I'm looking for the type that doesn't mind design and randomness and maybe even video games. Must be ornery or sarcastic or at least able to keep up; please apply within.
