Doing stuff is attractive. People that travel, tinker, and are constantly seeking out new things is an extremely appealing quality. Going to Glamis/Octillo and riding quads and dirtbikes every weekend does not count.

*Note: this has been an extremely fun year. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for on here or that I'm really looking too much at all. It can be addicting to click through the photos on here, but if someone is looking to go out, I'll happily look for an excuse to go out and do something fun.

Marketing was my major at Cal State Fullerton, but I'm definitely a more of a geek that should have gone into engineering (as in my eyes light up & I get all enthusiastic over talk about material properties, the viability of mass blimp-based transportation, web programming languages, or domain name traffic). I love technical details. I have a good set of friends (though more & more of those are getting married), a great family (my folks and my brothers are good people) and enough goals to keep me busy for a while (you can't abolish daylight savings time in a day or bring about mass public transportation in your average weekend).

I've got a very sarcastic sense of humor -maybe an acquired taste. I play soccer and do crossfit... usually stay pretty active... like to cook/bbq/grill... am a very healthy eater (i prefer the raw & organic stuff, but don't get all gay about it), work pretty normal working hours -although if I get excited about something, I'll work deep into the night... i enjoy taking things apart and figuring out why things work they way they do.

Lately, I've got a pretty strict activity routine and I try to get in some sort of physical activity every day (usually crossfit training, indoor soccer, raquetball, some running or walking, and sometimes tennis) -so, if up for an activity, we can get started earlier in the night if you're up for starting out with something along these lines.

I'm very goal oriented -even if it take a long time (years or more) to achieve those goals.

If we're going to eat, then we're going to walk. Go ahead & bring out your high heels for going out, but keep a pair of walking shoes handy for a little 2-3 mile walk afterwards.
