Well, I'm 27 and am currently a student with a history major. I haven't decided how far I'd like to go with my education, but at the very least I'll get a certificate of education so that I can teach. Ideally, I would like to get a PhD, but that is both timely and costly. I suppose my decision will depend upon where I'm at in the near future. Other than that, I am in the Army Reserve. I was a combat engineer (That's mines and C-4...in theory), but I am transferring to a military police unit. It will be cool I think, since they sometimes train with the Pittsburgh SWAT team. I have also thought about going into the Active Guard Reserve, which is basically active duty, except I wouldn't have to live near an army post. I don't know, it depends on how well my teaching aspirations pan out, considering that it is hard to get a job in education around here.

Currently, I live in a house in South Park. I'm content here, as I love my deck and I love to grill. I use charcoal and believe that gas grills are a form of heresy. Anyone can use a gas grill, but only a pyromaniac chef can use charcoal. Besides, it tastes better.

I guess I'd describe myself as a bit of a character. I love to laugh and make jokes. To be honest, some of my jokes can be dirty, but I'm not a dirty person. My sense of humor is all-encompassing...ranging from the silly to the dark. I'm kind of a nerd, but not really. I'm intellectual and have a few nerdy hobbies, but ultimately, as my friends say, I'm just Phil. I can pretty much get along with most types of people, and my circle of friends reflects that. At the very least, I'm a memorable person, and I'm sure that all of the people that have known me will never forget me.

If I'm in a more serious mood, I like to talk about history and politics, or whatever else happens to come up. I love to talk. Perhaps the sound of my voice gives me comfort. I do have a sexy voice. Well, to me at least...heh heh.

Ideally, I'd like to meet a woman that is sweet, honest, sexy, funny, intelligent (I have a hard time tolerating people who are really, really dumb), and romantic. I guess that doesn't say much though...what man doesn't want to find those qualities in a woman? I guess I'll narrow it down to intelligent, attractive, and good...as in not evil. It is important that you are intelligent and can have intelligent discussion. That's not to say that I don't enjoy discussions that are completely absurd however. If the height of your knowledge consists of who's with who in Hollywood, then by all means leave me alone. I also want to meet someone who is affectionate. I like kissing, hugging, and cuddling, so assuming we get together, those are things that you should enjoy also. A sense of humor is a must. If you never laugh or smile, then you proabably won't like me too much. Ultimately, I have high standards, but I don't have a stupid checklist of necessary traits and conditions...except for the three above I suppose. I judge people based on the whole package, and not on specific traits.

Well, if you think that I'm awesome, drop me a line. If you hate me and want me to die, send me a message and let me know. Well, good luck fishing!

We would go to a place like the tried but true dinner. I guess a movie could be added, but it would defeat the purpose of trying to get to know you. Of course, we could always go miniature golfing or something like that. Really, I am pretty open to just about anything, so long as I don't end up in jail.
