Well there is a lot to say, and I wouldn't know where to start... but here it goes.
For the record, I am 1/2 white and 1/2 Colombian (mom side). Most people think I look half black, but I am not, and probably act more white than Colombian... seeing as how my Spanish is really poor. I am a down to earth guy who likes to hang out and have fun. I also like the occasional staying home at night watching a movie or playing board games with mutual friends.

The first thing people notice about me is my height and my eyes. But for the most I have a sarcastic sense of humor, and can laugh even if i am the butt of the joke, and I can throw the jokes right back.

As far as my goals go, I have a great job in the Whittier area as an Electrical Engineer. My coworkers are the bomb, and I enjoy the way we can all get along and crack jokes around the work place, thank god HR isn't around ;). I received my passport a couple of months ago, and plan to put it to use! I would like to travel overseas, and I am drawn towards Egypt and the Bahamas, not sure why :)

hmm... ideal first date would be a setting where we can interact with each other on more than just a social level. Bringing out each others characteristics and enjoying the moment so it 'breaks the ice' a lot easier, since first dates can sometimes be really nerve racking.
If its day time, meeting at a coffee shop, going to the park, a walk on the beach, browsing a mall, or even drinks at a bowling alley would be chill.
If its night time, dinner would be a must (I have to eat :D) and then a walk on the beach, going to a lounge, batting cages, mini-golf/go-karts, or even driving around places we grew up would be a nice way to get to know you.
