About me:

I am an International traveler for work just living and enjoying life a little bit until I decide what I really want to do when I grow up. My hometown is Milwaukee, WI, although lately I have seen little of it because I am out of the country 80% of the time. I'm also a graduate student year round.

I consider myself "soft-souled" with a pretty strong back bone. I believe in life-long learning, accepting change as it happens and getting as much experience as possible by learning from my own mistakes, and that of others. I can adapt to any situation, any genre, or any scene. As a pretty mixed bag, you can find me studying at the local coffee shop, out on the town for the weekend with friends, at a concert venue, or just staying in and watching a good flick. I like people. No, I love people! They make me laugh -- and laughing is important.

Personally, NOTHING surprises me. Never say never, I know. But, I like to think that I am evenly content with taking each day as they come and networking with good people. Isn't that what most people do anyway?

The older I get, hours seem like minutes, months seem like days, and so on and so forth. Which sucks, by the way... because that leaves 100+ more countries to visit before I die, and I would like to visit them before I am old and decrepit. Plus, you can never have too many friends!

I am the most procrastinating anti-procrastinator you will ever meet. I am working on that. The good news is that if you earn my trust, and I haven't scared you away or vice versa, then you've probably earned my friendship forever. I do like to think I am a pretty good judge of character, but I never judge a book before it is read. I also think that ninety percent of the people in this world are good people...okay maybe "ninety one" percent, and I tend to be optimistic about most things. I can, of course, become skeptical with people who have lost their credibility with me early on. Oh, and if you suck -- well that sounds like a personal problem. :)

Abercrombie is not cool.

Armani is better.

Global warming is real.

Boxer-briefs.

Bush sucks.

It is soda, not pop.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is a word. Look it up!

And no, "Gino" is not short for anything.

Other than that, I am really a very nice boy worth getting to know if you could be so lucky. ;)
