I'm unconventional. The whole school - internship - job life track doesn't work for me. I'm very relaxed and laid-back in day to day life. I'm an idealist. I have a lot of difficulty compromising if I believe in something strongly, and I am horribly stubborn. I know what I want my life to look like, and I'm on my way there.

My godmother, who was a playboy bunny in the 60s, always contended that I was an old soul. I am not religious, but I subscribe to a lot of psuedo-Buddhist beliefs, and do have firm morals about some issues. Religion/Spirituality is a very positive thing if you use it to better yourself, in my opinion.

I'm looking at renting a house in Midtown/VaHi/L5P soon. And I'm starting to collect guitars. And I taught SAT until I got fired for being "too fun".

I should probably mention that I have fun doing dumb random things that normal people would find quite odd: for example, I got this ridiculously ostentatious piece of "bling" from my uncle for Christmas (mainly because he couldn't think of anything else to give me). And it was supposed to be a joke, but I've taken to wearing it everywhere. When people ask about it I tell them my rap album is coming out soon. It's always fun to see somebody smile because you brought a bit of eccentricity into their day

I'm kind of a weird amalgamation of intellectual and stupid/random. If you can engage in nonsensical (yet intelligent) arguments, we'll hit it off. Being able to discuss philosophy / life is always a plus too.

I've been told several times that I have a "challenging" personality - if you can go back and forth with conversation really fast we'll get along great. I tend to pick apart people in conversation, but in a playful way. If you can give it right back to me then you'll get major points.

I run my own businesses; I've also taken classes at Harvard and Duke, but now I'm at Georgia Tech. I've only managed to complete one semester of school in the last two years, but I probably spend 15 - 20 hours per week reading. I don't believe that school performance and intelligence correlate very much. Not that I have any disrespect for education, it's just not my cup of tea. [Update: I actually completed this last semester, so now I've done two. I got 3 D's and a C, but I made A's on the tests. This is because I went to Little 5 Points, had a cup of coffee and walked around the record store rather than taking 3 of my finals. And I think I was much happier for it.]

Free time - I read, do music, go to concerts, travel, watch movies, and try new restaurants/foods. I don't really watch tv very much - would much rather have a conversation about philosophy, business, music, anything really, or maybe go to a hookah bar or walk around Little 5. Basically I like to do things with people and interact with them, rather than finding ways to numb/distract myself.
