About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Nice that you could drop by. I suppose the idea is to get a better idea of who I am: here goes. Who I am is how I look at life. I've been described as the guy caught in the middle of a rain storm with no umbrella, a huge grin on my face, singing into the storm. I've got a pretty good life, and it's nice to take a step back every now and then and realize that very few things matter as much as we think they do.I'm currently finishing off my PhD in robotics, which is a lot of work, but is really fun. I get to build robots and then play with them all day, and get paid for it; how cool is that? Plus, I get to teach, which is a passion of mine. Downside, the math get's a little intense. I was cool when it was just numbers. Then they added letters, alright, I can deal with that. Then they took away the numbers, and kept the letters, fine. Now the letters are gone, the numbers are gone, even the familiar symbols like '=' '+' and 'x' are gone, yet they still call it math. Whatever happened to taking home 32 watermelons from the store (because you gave Mary 8), and we all just pretend that there's nothing strange about that.Apart from school, I like to keep active. I ride my bike a lot in the summer, love going for walks and hikes, go to the gym when nature is having a tantrum, toss a frisbee in a field, or just run around with some friends goofing off. On the non-hyper side, I love to cook, play my piano, take on random projects, have a night of board games with friends, listen to audio books, watch documentaries, and often just kick back for the evening with a good movie and good company.For transportation, if I'm not biking or rollerblading, I prefer my own two feet. If I have the time, I would rather walk to a location as opposed to almost any other form of transportation (personal aircraft notwithstanding). I also really enjoy playing tennis, ultimate frisbee and a good debate about something pointless; most recently, which dictator had the best mustache? (The answer is obvious really)A few random facts about me:- I love the cold- I've broken 6 bones (at least. To be honest, I've really lost count)- I once fell of a ski lift (not one of the broken bones***I want to get my pilot's license one day- In my undergrad, I built a submarine, a blimp and a fuel-cell monitoring system, and two of those three things actually worked.- There is almost no type of weather that I don't like- I never turn down sushi, except for in extreme cases- The longest I've been without food is ***hours, which included my 27th birthday- Best live show I've been to is a tie between "Who's line is it anyway" and "Tim Minchin"So what am I looking for? It seems pointless to spout the usual "cute, funny, ambitious, smart, etc.", everyone is looking for that. Most important to me, I'm looking for someone who loves who they are, that's really important to me. Also a generally positive outlook on life is also pretty important; the world, frankly, is awesome. So someone who's always got a smile on her face; someone who loves life, and lives it in a positive way, and who thirsts for adventure. I'm also looking for a girl with a bit of a cheesy romantic side who can let her hair down from time to time to dance barefoot in the rain with.As for looks, I don't claim that they aren't important, far to the contrary. I just can't quite figure out how to describe what I'm looking for. Who someone is, and how they act really does play a big part in someone's overall attractiveness. Something that simply boils down as "Fun!" Perhaps getting thrown out of the ball pit at IKEA... Whatever's fun, I'm game.

    Hi there! I tried this before and well needless to say I'm back, oh well...The real funny part is I still don't know what to put here haha. Nice to meet all of you seems like a good start :) I find it kind of silly to sit here and say I do this or I'm like that, just the whole sitting here saying "I'm this and I'm that kind of person" seems a little big headed...So lets try to do this with minimal usage...not gonna lie it's gonna be hard though I'm single (Duuh lol!), . If you see me out I'll be the one with the silly smile on my face at every little thing...oh and you wont find me downtown boozing trying to get into every girl's pants because that's just not me. Friends and family mean the world to me and I would do anything for them. I've recently discovered this wonderful thing called a gym and I try to get there ***times a week. So far, so good! (I know some people are probably reading this going the gym is far from wonderful...but I like it). In the end I just want to make people smile; whether by my sincerity, or but my stupidity. I'm just looking for someone to be happy with who I can enjoy spending time with. Well that seems like a decent start, if you want to learn about the I am's then you will just have to message me and form you're own opinion. Hope to hear from you. Well I would like to say something unique, but given the nature of first dates I would most likely lean towards something simple in a relaxed atmosphere so no one has to worry or stress. Hang out at a Timmies, a few games of pool, or a nice walk down by the river seem like good starters. :)

    Je recherche d'abord la complicité. Par l'humour, le caractère ou les valeurs (ou toutes ces ré;insides", se comprendre à demi-mot...J'aime la musique sans en composer, le hockey sans vraiment jouer, le cinéma sans en faire, les voyages sans savoir voler.J'aimerais surtout quelqu'un avec qui partager ces petits moments de la vie, main dans la main.Je déteste le vinaigre balsamique.Vraiment.J'aime les trucs loufoques, mais je demeure quelqu'un de sérieux. Paraît que je suis une petite encyclopédie sur deux pattes, mais j'ignore encore le secret de la Caramilk. Je suis sociable et j'ai de la répartie mais je suis doux et sérieux. Bref, je ne peux être résumé en un texte, comme toi... j'espère.Je souhaite quelque chose de sérieux avec une femme capable de l'être tout autant. Mon souhait, c'est que tu sois une femme naturelle et allumée, qui aime les gens et qui a la vivacité d'esprit pour répliquer aux petites flèches que je me ferai un plaisir de te décocher. Détentrice de culture, d'humour absurde et de grande gentillesse? Vous voilà avec une longueur d'avance!
