Occupation:
I am a CNC programmer for Agilent Technologies (past 2 years). I program equipment that is used in the production of Class 2 printed circuit assemblies (test & measurement equipment for cellular services). I haven't had a damn thing to do for the past year, so I post on AF all day.

Romantic Status:
I've been dating Michele for a little over 2 years. Sometimes, I just wish she would go away... Don't want to spend the rest of my life with a tactless pot-fiend alcoholic bitch. But I love her to death

Education:
Dropped out of HS my senior year, cuz I wasn't going to graduate anyways, and I was tired of being grounded (was grounded for 3 years straight).
Got my GED when I moved to Spokane
Got an AAS in Electronics Engineering Tech. from ITT Tech. Biggest waste of $25000 I've ever seen.
Plan to return to school when I get laid off within the next year...

Personality Characteristics:
I'm pretty shy until I get to know you (unless I've had a pint or two).
I'm funny (I've been told).
I don't usually have alot to say to people (I know, I know, it doesn't explain why this post is so long)
I like everyone, but I don't necessarily trust everyone until it is earned.
I'm generous, but sometimes people take advantage of the fact.

Hobbies/Interests:
I play drums, guitar, bass, trumpet, piano, etc. I'm not exceptionally good at any of them, but I'm best at drums and guitar. I haven't had any lessons on any of them except for piano when I was little. Recently started a band with some of my friends, so I've spent alot of time writing new songs.
I love music.
I work on my car.
I would love to read, but haven't been able to read a single book since I started dating my girlfriend.
I love to build things... usually, I build lamps out of junk, but they turn out nice.
I love beer. I'm not an alcoholic, I just enjoy drinking beer. So, I end up going to the bars alot to play pool.
I smoke, but I wish I didn't. I've cut down to about 4 a day in the last few weeks though.
I love watching movies of all kinds, especially foreign films, independant films, and action/suspense films.
I watch Law & Order every chance I get.
I love to eat, but I'm really picky about what I eat.
I love piercings, can't wait to get some more.
I love to draw. People say I'm a good artist.
I love digital art, like photoshopping pics and whatnot.
I love the women, and chances are, at any given point in time, I'm thinking about them in some way.
I will do ANYTHING for a laugh or a smile, regardless of wether it's humiliating or not. I don't care, it's worth it.
I love stand-up comedy, and have always wanted to be a stand-up comic. People tell me I'd be good at it, but I don't know.

Goals:
I want to find a woman that I can spend the rest of my life with.
I want to have kids with aforementioned woman.
I want to find a secure job where I like what I do, and if I can make a bundle of money at it, then all the better.

I grew up in Utah, I was born in Layton at McKaydee Hospital at 10:20 p.m. I grew up here most of my life and moved to Colorado when I was in middle school. Lived there for about six years and have now moved back. I don't like it here and would love to move back to Colorado as most of you know. The only thing that keeps me here is lack of money and my family. Yes, I am LDS.

I am into anything electronic, computers, stereo equipment, video games, I am also big into cars, DUH! I am big into all types of entertainment.

Hi, I'll keep it short.

Moved here to work in the space industry after 12 years in the airforce.

Like ci5ic, I like piercings, have a couple of 'naughty' ones, both aquired for a bet after too many Jack Daniels whilst in the military.
