I'm 31 years old. I went to the Univ. of Maryland: College Park (Go Terps!) where I got my Bachelor's and Masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering. I live in San Jose, CA and work as an engineer on defense contracts.
Hobbies:
Watching TV
Playing video and computer games
Watching movies
Watching basketball
Board and card games
Puzzles
Dislikes:
Cheese
I can't stand the taste of cheese. It just makes me sick. I can tolerate the cheese on most pizzas though, but more toppings is better.
Alcohol
I have nothing morally against alcohol. I just can't stand the taste.
Eczema
It's practically disappeared since I moved here to Cali, but I hate my eczema when it flares up. It makes me want to scratch so bad, plus my skin dries up and starts cracking.
Cooking
I just hate to cook, mainly because I'm lazy. I just can't stand all that preparation.
Favorite TV shows:
My favorite TV shows of all time are Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Simpsons. Other shows I currently watch regularly are 24, Battlestar Galactica, Family Guy, Futurama, Justice League, Lost, Robot Chicken, Samurai Jack, Smallville, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Teen Titans, and The Venture Bros. Notice that I'm a big fan of the Cartoon Network and SciFi Channel!
Favorite movie:
It's hard for me to pick one favorite movie, so I'll list several:
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Matrix
Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
The Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Books:
I used to read a lot of Stephen King novels as a kid, but that stopped once I got to college. Since then, I didn't read books at all, only magazines. But a few years ago, my ex got me started reading again with the first Harry Potter. Since then, I've read the rest of the Harry Potter books, the Hobbit, and the LOTR Trilogy.
Sports:
I'm not really very active. The extent of my activity is somewhat regular pushups. I'm also not a very physically coordinated person. However, I do enjoy watching a lot of basketball, both NBA and college. Favorite pro teams are the Wizards (my original hometown team), Suns (so much fun to watch), and the Rockets (T-Mac and Yao Ming). Also a big fan of Dwyane Wade. My favorite college team is of course my alma mater, the Maryland Terrapins.
