CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!What would you like to read about me? I am a German guy, living in the US for almost five years now and enjoying San Diego every day.It was a big step to quit the job and settle down in a foreign country but it was definitely worth it.Right now I have a job that pays the bills and that makes me work with really nice co-workers. On the side I still do some translations, preferably from English into German.My short term goals: Get the damn car fixed or better yet buy a new one. Long term: Finding a guy who is actually willing and able to deal with a grumpy anti-social guy like me. ;-)

My Interests

My interests right now focus on three areas.First, I am in a phase right now where I read books and cannot get enough of it.Second, I try to get more involved in politics again. The last elsction in the US and just recently in Germany make me wonder why people are so careless about who is governing them.Third... well, what can I say? I love sitcoms. If there is a good sitcom on TV, I watch it. Some sci-fi shows have caught my eyes too. But I must be the only one who cannot really enjoy Desperate Housewives. Not a bad show, but nothing for me.

I'd like to meet:

... the cute guy I have a crush on for several weeks now. Seems to be unavailable though. Urgh...Then I wouldn't mind meeting President Bush. Just to get an idea how this man ticks. I am afraid there is nothing ticking at all, but you never know.(More will be added later. There is a whole bunch of people I would like to meet.)

Music:

I leave a blank here.

Movies:

I love the old Hitchcocks. They are still fantastic. Have you seen 'The man who knew too much'? Otherwise I love comedies. 'Naked Gun', "The Life of Brian'.

Television:

What do I like? Sitcoms. Besides sitcoms: Lost, The 4400, Battlestar Galactica, Boston Legal. Love the Law & Order franchise but got an overload last season so I am taking a break from those shows. Daily Show with Jon Stewart? A must. And sometimes CNN because I am a fanderson.

Books:

Fingering The Family Jewels - by Greg Lilly ... Memoirs of an Invisible Man H.F. Saint

Heroes:

There aren't any real ones. At least I haven't met any personally. But the geek in me names Captain Picard.
