I'm a 24 year old white male living in the Bay Area.
Oh, and I’m a fanatical sailor and a hopeless romantic, not to mention
enviromental hippy. I grew up on a commune farm!
So how does one best go about describing oneself? I prefer the “get someone else to do
it” option, but that is not currently available as I’m the
only one at home. So, here’s a list instead.
Name: John C. Glass
What's the 'C' stand for? - I am not telling. It's a secret.
How old are you? - I don't get carded when buying alcohol.
What do you do for a living? - Surprisingly very little. I'm a systems
administrator - if I'm working hard, then I've probably not been doing
my job!
What do you want to do for a living? - Senior Net.admin for a huge e-commerce
center. UPDATE: I've already done this now. Update: I'm doing it again!
Are you gay? - Show me your breasts, and I'll tell you if I feel anything.
Update: I'm not sure if that worked. Can I feel them too?
What is your favorite color? - Blue
Music:
Frank Sinatra
The Beatles
Phil Collins
Paul Simon
Nat King Cole
Fenix TX
Countless others –
I have many [legal] MP3s, just about everything is represented somehow.
Even Jesus-Freak.
I love the oldies though
Books:
Les Miserables
Issac Asimov
Les Miserables
Anything else is just so-so
Alcohol:
White Wines, with an occasional
merlot
Good pale ales –
not cheap beer, or even beer (don’t like the stuff)
Good scotch
Honey based Alcohol
Milk (mmm, prefer over
all the rest combined)
Dinner:
Italian
Persian
Mexican
American
British
Tiramisu
--all home cooked of course.
No microwave cooking here
Not Dinner:
Asian food (can’t cook
it) Update: after my roommate's mother moved here, I've grown to like
a few things. Having an Asian girlfriend whose mom is also a wonderful
cook is good too. However, I still can't cook anything, so it isn't for
dinner.
Sushi (no taste, doesn’t
fill me up, but I’ll still eat it)
Communicable Diseases:
HIV- no
Gonorea - no
Sylfiss - no
Measles - no
HPV - no
Asshole Syndrome - yes
Neat stuff I've done:
--Been in love
--Been World Champion
--Been homeless (once by
choice, and once not by choice)
--Accepted to UC Berkeley
AND Stanford. I was probably the first person to write a scathing letter
to Stanford refusing to attend.
--Been published
--Seen Dead People -- and
not just the Greatful Dead people either

type)

Santa Clara, California
Computer Stuff:
FreeBSD

Colocation.net - I have to volunteer somewhere!
I don’t want to be
a geek any longer – it doesn’t pay well enough.

A
Beautiful Mind
Hero (Chinese version)

Contact
Thomas
Crown Affair
