Well, here I go again changing the profile, but I promise, no more boring monologues. I never liked writing them and put entirely too much sarcasm behind 'em. This one probably isn't much more exciting (it's a list), but at least I don't have to think of clever/witty segways. So grab a cup of coffee...here's a list of what makes me, me. Please note, I add to this list about every day, it's a constant WIP (and in random order)

I'm Jay....this is not a legally binding name, but it's what EVERYONE calls me and has, at least to me, become my identity.

When I was little, I wasn't allowed to watch McGyver because my parents told me I'd get ideas to take stuff apart...20 some years later and my friends are calling me McGyver for my abilities to fix things/make it work.

I've spent more time on the computer in my life than one should...but I'm working on fixing that.

I work a rather geeky job of coin-op repair. In English, that means I fix pinball machines, arcade games, and anything else what will eat your money. This sounds like a glamorous easy job...fixing games all day..but I come home every day tired, stressed, cut, burned and possibly having been electrocuted at some point during my day. I work Monday - Saturday too if one really wants to add insult to injury.

I used to have a social life....but due to my job and previous relationships, I sadly find myself surrounded by no one...all the old friends no longer talking to me. Some friends eh?

I *SERIOUSLY* love music, and I'm not one of those people who says that and listens to like, one or two bands...I have a very wide taste in music and appreciate all of it.

I went out and bought Beatles RockBand as soon as I was able becuase The Beatles are just badass like that :)

I love coffee...I don't care if it's starbucks or not...if it's brewed, i'll drink it!

I drive an old pickup. Let me repeat that...I drive an old pickup. It's an '82 (hey, all the best stuff was made in '82, like me for example) with manual transmission...meaning I know how to work a clutch. Don't laugh at my truck, I love that much as a man can love a vehichle without getting too creepy. It runs....like new..and that's all I care about (although the nice stereo system helps too).

Yes, I smoke..you likely have a problem with that and it's the real reason I'm not getting emails...but guess what, I'm not changing for anyone quite yet.

I've known the joy of finding one's soulmate...and the agonizing pain of losing that someone....this is probably the only way I'm scarred...and it's a pretty deep one too. I'm not saying that for sympathy...or anything...I'm just letting you know..there's deep scar I do my best to hide and get over, but sometimes it hurts...and being lonely doesn't help.

I'm random...and have been known to act like a dork...in public.

Being a random geek...I've done the Wikipedia surf-in-to-the-black-hole...in which you start off reading one random subject and 200 articles later you're on something TOTALLY unrelated and can't remember how you got there in the first place. I'm not gonna come in handy on Jeopardy, but once in a while I spew out a little tidbit of information that's actually sometimes relevant to the conversation.

I've almost stopped watching TV...then I got a DVR, now at least I don't miss Simpsons or Family Guy every night.

No matter how much the meal is, it comes out poo in the end. (It's a song quote, recognize it and I'll likely love you forever)

In the console wars, I algined with the Wii...because all I cared about was Tennis and Rockband...and who needs impressive graphics for RockBand?

Speaking of Rockband, I'm absolutely hooked on that game (a game about music? I LOVE music, sign me up!) and tend to play it a lot...I'll likely have you try it too.

I've got a laptop I use entirely too much and a desktop I've never powered on.

I wear a beanie...even in the summer. I feel naked without it.

My temper is quick but I generally snub it out before it gets out of hand.

I barely drink enough to say I don't drink. Special occasions, yes...every day? No.

I could take or leave football...seriously. I got in to it for a few years but decided it was worthless to waste so much passion behind something like that. Plus my team isn't doing so hot this year (and no, it's not the Redskins). I feel the same about most sports. Baseball tends to be boring, hockey can get a little exciting, racing is mind-numbing..although I've gotten a bit in to golf.

Pull out the Atari, I could kick your butt at Pong!
Same with Wii Sports Tennis.

I spent a bit of time being that social outcast you always see sitting by himself at Starbucks...I watched a lot of people...and I learned something...a lot of people get this interaction thing wrong. It almost doesn't matter WHAT the interaction is...so many times...it's wrong..or maybe that's just me thinking I'm more intelligent than I actually have and learned nothing from watching people.

It annoys me some people consider an all-natural earth-growing herb to be a drug. There's no reason to put it in the same class. That's how you're going to judge me...seriously...you don't want to know anything else about me than that? That's fine, you're probably too closed-minded and shallow for me to want anyway.

Seriously, just send me a message..I don't bite unless you ask me to.

I always like the first one to be relaxed and involving coffee (which I'm not using as a metaphor for something else, I mean literal actual brewed beverages with caffeine) and perhaps just walking around....movies are a horrible date and a bad way to really get to know someone.
