To sum up myself, takes a little more than just a paragraph or so. I am definitely the one that is caught being sarcastic and humorous 90% of the time. I do, however, know when to be serious when the time permits it. I am an avid reader, who goes through 2 or 3 books a week... Sometimes the same book twice. I enjoy getting out of the house at least 1 to 2 times a week to take a deep breath of that thick Modesto smoggy air! You can catch me cruising around town on my beach cruiser once in a while, generally around that new corridor they built. I love spending time with my daughter and teaching her how to play softball, draw, etc.

To know me is to love me. I am the one that can diffuse any awkward or hostile situation. Some say I am a smooth talker, but I just think I have a neutral outlook on life. I will never be caught in an awkward pause during a conversation, and more times then not, I will come up with more than 1 witty remark.

I am non religious, as in agnostic, there are so many different aspects of each religion that appeal to me to not be able to choose just one. Being that the Universal Life Church is here in Modesto, I might just become ordained and start my own congregation. Maybe call it CatholiRastaMormoBuddhaTaoism. Or something that slips a little better off the tongue.

I am definitely not a native of the Central Valley, was born and raised in the Bay Area ( more particular Santa Clara) and tend to leave the central valley almost every weekend. I am linked to Modesto because of my daughter, and will be until shes of age to leave this hellhole...

My current living situation is as follows... ( now for those who have issues with trust, please turn around now) I am currently living in the same house as my daughter and her mother (my ex) we all live in separate quarters of the house, and are not connected either physically, emotionally, or mentally... This is for the fact that I am waiting for my ex to gain employment so that I may move out... This ensures me that my daughter is taken care of upon my departure from that living situation.

I am currently in the midst of my career in Mail and Property Services for the local University. This job allows me the perfect hours as well as a decent pay and full benefits.

During my non-business hours, I occupy my time with reading, drawing, and absorbing insane amounts of pop trivia... there are none that can compete with my skills in Trivia Pursuit Pop Culture or Scrabble.

I hope to attain enough drawing skill and patience to eventually open up my own tattoo business. I am enamored with the art of tattooing and have been for many years.

To re-reference my previous paragraphs, I am really really good at Pop Culture and am very eloquent and well versed.

The first things that people generally notice about me, is my piercing blue/green eyes, my plastic framed glasses, and the fact that I tend to wear hats all the time...

Most books that are appealing to me are of the Murder Mystery or Science Fiction genre. Two of my favorite authors are Orson Scott Card and Elmore Leonard.

My movie tastes tend to vary. I enjoy all genres of film but the ones that have always left a lasting impression tend to be of the Tim Burton/ Quentin Tarantino variety... I do however enjoy all the recent movies that Seth Rogen has been in (Superbad, 40 year old Virgin, Pineapple Express, etc.)

My music tastes also vary, but tend to lean towards reggae. There is something about the rhythm and the beat of the music and the all so powerful words that can be said that appeal to my inner person.

The six things I could never do without
1. My daughter
2. Macaroni and Cheese
3. Marinated Artichoke Hearts
4. A best friend
5. A person to share my life with
6. My Family

You should message me if I have struck any chord within your cerebral stem. I am a good friend and a good person, for those that are daring enough to message me.
