Hey.

I'm in transition right now.

In the last couple years I've gone from the safety of college including a vibrant social life with everything pulling me in dozens of directions; and now to a nose-to-the-grindstone startup business following my dreams. I work hard and I work everyday determined to realize my dream of being a successful game developer. It's been a really tough road but I'm better for it. Everything I've done in my life I've done with every single cell in my body and this is no different. However such a blind charge ahead tends to come with certain consequences. A dwindling social life, for one.

Despite all the things I've given up to get where I'm at today, I still don't regret doing any of it. Though, sometimes I wonder if I It's even possible to have both (my dream job and my dream woman), but that doesn't stop me from trying (at least with an online profile).

Quasi-heartbreaking tragedy aside, I'm pretty laid back. I never take anything too seriously off the bat, which feeds into my sense of humor. I am known amongst my friends as being the "Brutally honest" one, mostly to my own detriment. I'm not mean-spirited and I tell white-lies when appropriate but when I'm around people I'm close with, I tell the truth as I see it. I've found with most people I've met that the ones I appreciate most are those that have the audacity to be themselves, regardless the situation. Even if I don't agree with any of their views on anything, I still find common ground for a friendship with someone like that. That said though... I've dated a hard-core conservative before and it didn't go well. I'm not one for stereotypes though, and I think walls harm the protected more than those kept out.

I could go into a long diatribe about my upbringing and "what makes me unique" but I'd prefer that happen organically in conversation as opposed to you reading this wall of text about my obsession with the food network at the tender age of 11.

Music? I'm listening to Boards of Canada right now. It's awesome late at night.

Maybe we'd meet up at a cafe to have coffee or whatever. First dates are always a bit strange so I think it's in both our interests to have an easy-to-access eject button nearby at all times. ;)

The second date is usually more romantically inclined, no? Probably dinner somewhere nice and go on a walk afterward if it's not snowing. If it is Winter, well then dust off your snow-suit, we're building forts!
