About Me

24 and live in South Florida. Originally from Massachusetts. If you know me, you already knew that. If you don't know me, well, now you know. Glad to see we're on the same page here.
Random facts:
- I work. A lot.
- I went to college to be a USDA Plant Science Scientist.
- I am not currently a USDA Plant Scientist
- I can't take a compliment if my life depended on it. In fact, the reaction I give is likely the opposite of what one would expect.
-I've spent a good portion of my life trying to hide from people just how much of a nerd I am. To make a long story short, it's pretty heavy. That said, if you're looking for someone to be absurdly random or discuss politics and rhetoric for hours, we should get along nicely.
- My desire for the tattoo is overwhelming. However, I don't have the time or money to get it done (it's a bit large-scale). Anyone with interest to get one done with me should inquire and pique my interest :-)
My buddy Jake and I will be coming out with a video game review site very soon. If you'd like to read honest reviews of new games, nostalgic reviews of ones you grew up with, or just simply enjoy the video game culture, check them out. Coming sometime after Christmas 2007!
- Pound for pound, I was the best player on Canton High's football team. Wait, that was Mike Karwin...

I'd like to meet:

I dunno. You? Drop a line if you like. I'm more fun than I lead on.Oh, and Kelly Clarkson. But only if no one's looking.

But seriously, any self-proclaimed nerds or video game enthusiasts in the South Florida area to hang out and, you know, be stupid. I have yet to meet anyone like this in Florida yet. I'm hoping they exist. If so, get in touch!
