Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into Game of Thrones. Like, I'll drop random phrases like "Words are wind" into normal conversation, completely stone-faced.

My favorite movie is, and always will be, Nightmare Before Christmas. It is essentially perfection as far as I'm concerned, though Pirates of Caribbean is pretty cool to.

I don't read many books, but I do enjoy comics. More of a DC guy I think - not that Marvel is bad, but after watching Young Justice, I just think DC has a better universe(s)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew a plane recently. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd consider getting my pilot's license, but I'd rather travel for now.

In terms of awe, I think Therme Vals is one of the greatest architectural works of our generation. The whole place is an experience that can't be describe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty good with computers, so I can talk for a while about programming and designing systems. I'm also not bad at planning events and designing non-computer systems. I guess it all goes back to studying architecture in college, in general I like designing things.

I've got a blac belt in Kuk Sool, a Korean martial art. So if you're down to spar, that would be great. I think fighting and dancing are two of the most emotive things two people can do together

My best skill is talking to people. I can't say I'm good at giving advice on how to talk to people, but I went from a pretty shy kid to a social butterfly with sheer persistence :)
