I'm 18, I am from East Lansing, Michigan, and I attend the University of Michigan. I love to play guitar, especially fusion-based shred, but not mindless noodling. I'm a big-time Democrat, and have done voter registration for my area's Democratic Party for every election since 2004. I get great grades, but I never study. I play Ultimate Frisbee every day with my friends, and I have the sickest forehand toss. I love comedy and action TV/movies, but I have tons of guilty pleasures to go along with my masculine tastes. I am good at almost all sports (not soccer/non-American football, tennis, or Skiing/other non-ball sports). My friends and I have TONS of inside jokes and references. I get annoyed by overly philosophical/ideological people, as I believe in practicality and moderate solutions. I have a very wide range of musical tastes, that include classical, jazz and fusion, blues, flamenco, pop, folk, rock, funk, shred, comedy music, punk, some rap/hip-hop, metal, instrumental rock, some country, and progressive anything. I am open minded, extremely positive, not very mean or critical, and always looking for a good, friendly conversation.
I'M JEWISH!
My favorite artist is Bruce Springsteen, and I've loved him since I was 18 months old.
I work at Panera Bread, making salads.
I love sushi.
I love burritos from Chipotle.
I'm a big dude (in case you didn't figure that out from the 3 things above).
I have the worst lust for guitar products, but I need to save money for my college experience.
I have big palms, but short, stubby fingers.
I have awesome chin-hair, but I am known to grow it into a full beard.
I follow politics a lot.
The Detroit Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, and Pistons are my favorite pro sports teams.
When it comes to college sports, I love the Michigan Wolverines, and the MSU Spartans.
I have 4 siblings (3 sisters, 1 brother).
There is so much more that doesn't fit here.
