About Me

Let's see, where shall I begin? I'm 25 years young. I stand a towering 6'5". Brown hair, blue eyes, with Ravishing Good Looks! Currently in my final year of college, majoring in Computer Science. I also work full-time for an auto finance company. I consider myself a Renaissance Man as I do have a variety of interests and talents.I enjoy sports--primarily Football and Baseball. My favorite teams are the Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Falcons, and Atlanta Braves. I try to go to as many games of each as I can and can usually be found watching Sportscenter most evenings to stay caught up. Another of my favorite interests is Music. While my instrument playing ability is still limited to a wicked air guitar, I do love music of many genres, but I tend to listen to mainly Hard Rock. I am avid concert-goer and have been to over 100 different shows in my life. My favorite band is Sevendust--from my home state of Georgia. Seen them in concert 14 times now, and each time is still as amazing as the first. When I say I love music of all genres, though, I do mean it. I have over 7,000 mp3s on my iPod ranging from Country to Classical, Trance to Hip Hop, Jazz, Metal, Punk Rock, and Pop. What can I say? I'm a fiend for music. Another passion of mine are movies. I own over 200 DVDs and I probably go to at least one movie a week in theaters. I enjoy many different genres and it is hard to pick favorites, but if I had to, my 3 favorites are Top Gun, Seven, and Titanic. Some other things I enjoy is talking, watching, and driving high performance cars. Love watching drag races and enjoying learning about the ins and outs of cars. I also love reading--mainly non-fiction. My favorite subjects to read are politics and current issues, as well as military history and aviation. I also love debating and discussing politics and current events. Personally, I consider myself to be a loyal, trustworthy friend who is often the life of a party. I have a great group of friends and enjoy making new ones. I'm always down for a good time and often find myself creating a good time if one is lacking. I can be adventurous at times, and reserved at others--it just all depends on the situation. There are many nuances to my personality that would be hard to describe fairly here in a quick synopsis on my myspace profile, so to really get an idea about the real me, you'll have to get to know me! Rest assured, you'll be glad you did!
Some of my Current Favorite Songs!!(in no particular order)

Thank you, Kennesaw State University, for deciding that a million-dollar sculpture that didn't even stay upright for a month was worth more than fixing the horrendous parking situation on campus. ...
