Beauty, truth, love....
And after that, hanging with/partying with friends, movies and DVDs, videogames, esp. when playing friends (in Halo 3 multiplayer, I'm a Captain with a 20 skill level), Orlando Predators games, WWE and local wrestling, patristic theology (?!) ... and more....
Xbox 360 Gamer Card:
Music
Music that stirs your soul (e.g., 19th classical music from the Romantic period, John Williams' movie soundtracks) or stirs you to your feet (No Doubt, Black Eyed Peas, Pink, etc.). In other words, music that gets the party started!
Movies
Last movie seen in the theatres: Get Smart. Fun movie! I give it an 'A'.
My favorite movies: Casablanca, the Star Wars and LOTR trilogies, It's a Wonderful Life, The Best Years of Our Lives, Pirates of the Caribbean, Caddyshack, The Thin Man series, Office Space, Stripes, Christmas Vacation, etc. Actually I love movies and have over 600 DVDs in my collection, including every single James Bond movie. (DVDs are definitely an addiction for me, but at least it won't give me lung cancer or heart disease.) Overall, my favorite genres are comedies and action movies.
Television
Currently my favorite shows are My Name Is Earl, The Office, Chuck and Heroes. Past favorites include Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Firefly, Hill St. Blues, SeaQuest DSV and Fawlty Towers. When it comes to classic TV, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show are the holy trinity of sitcoms. Let's not forget '60s sci-fi greats like Star Trek and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. And of course old spooky shows like The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Kolchak: The Night Stalker. They were always fun to watch.
I'm also into wrestling (WWE). Yes, I know it's fake, but who cares? It's good fun. It's like a soap opera with stunts. The guys are crazy, the girls are hot and action is over-the-top! Favorite wrestlers include the Undertaker, Chris Jericho (Y2J), Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio and Candice Michelle (Go Daddy!). Favorite retired wrestlers include "The American Dream"Dusty Rhodes, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (Woooo!), the late Jos LeDuc ("The Canadian Freight Train"), Trish Stratus and Lita.

I'm a fun-loving individual with a great sense of humor. Life is just too important to take it too seriously. (I do take relationships seriously...).
I'm a graphic designer at a statewide newspaper (Photo Editor, Layout Artist) and I also freelance on occasion.
What else? I'm single, never been married, no kids. I'd like to be married someday and have kids, but it has to be to the right person. Better to be single than be trapped in a bad marriage.
Oh yeah, I'm a UCF graduate, a Florida native (seldom seen in the wild) and have been living in the Orlando area for more than half my life.
Tattoos? Nope, not my style. If I ever do get a tat, it's gonna be done to an internal organ during a surgery, so that it only shows up on X-rays. That would be cool. It would probably say, "If you can read this, you're too close." Piercings? Just my heart. Several times. Ouch.
My heritage is Hungarian on my mom's side and German, French and Belgian on my dad's side. My mom's father came over from Hungary as a boy in the early 1900s and married a Hungarian-American. My dad's side of the family was in America prior to the Revolution and the brother of one of my ancestors was a surveying partner with George Washington when George was a young man.
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting easy-going people ... People who believe in themselves, people who are playful but who don't "play games." People who see the glass half-full, not half-empty. People who have read this far. ;)
Also, "friends" who leave comments. :)
