About Me


| View Show | DannyD
I would describe myself as a software engineer at heart who looks at C++/C/XQuery/Java/C# code all day, loves philosophy (Aristotle, Nietzsche, Kant), loves to find out how things work (from singularities in a black hole to electron microscopes ), very laid back, cant remember the last time I've been angry, would love to have a family. I also love to travel,420, meet new and different people, try different things.
I truly love all types of music and listen to Trance everyday, Techno everyday, Downtempo everday, mashup (bastard pop - bootiesf.com), rock, country, alternative, the unclassifiable (i.e:Sigur Ros) etc.. In short, I love finding the most eclectic music that happens to be out there. The songs I have listened to recently (Dynamically generated whenever I listen to a song):
I have an insatiable appetite for acquiring knowledge and experience, so I'm always reading (everyday).
I've also grown to appreciate relationships and having people I trust, can confide in, are there for me, and who are loyal. These are the most important things to me right now (I love loyal, thoughtful, appreciative people)

My Interests

c++, perl, travelling, Genetics, Sci-Fi, reading, philosophizing, symbolic logic, dreaming, volleyball, basketball, pron, linux, corba, slashdot

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people, so shoot me an email ! Ideally (though you dont have to be like this, since I like all types of people), I would like someone who can do shots of 191 w/ me at 2am at a cheesy bar, go skydiving, pull an all nighter working their ass off, drink and party at an all night shindig and wake up the next day to do it again, travel without being broke, go a week without getting angry, party for a week straight in Ibiza, dance at a foam party, debate Nietzsche et al. Basically, people who can bring it.
I'd like to meet people who are very intelligent, not overly emotional, intrigued by life and the unknown,loves to laugh, hard working, dedicated, realizes life is to short to be angry and dramatic all the time, ambitious and who likes to go out and kick their heels up once in a while and someone who'd be up for spontaneously traveling on the drop of the dime just for fun.
