Hi, I'm Matt. I'm a geek of many trades, but most of all, I am a self-professed Music Geek. I'm constantly seeking out & listening to new songs/bands/musicians (as well as great older stuff I missed along the way) that cross my path in some way. Recently I had the chance to cull all the music I possess into a single itunes library and was still slightly disappointed to discover that it would only take about a 1/3 of a year to listen to my entire collection (for now anyway). And if I'm motivated & in the company of people who are interested, I can prattle on for hours about all sorts of music history & band trivia (occasionally this can happen without provocation though). I also play guitar, but mostly at an amateur level, what I really enjoy is collecting them; searching for a new guitar is like seeking out a fine painting or sculpture.

I am: 
Single
My social life: 

Outside of work I spend a moderate amount of time playing Geeks Who Drink pub quizzes around Denver; it's the one place where all the random crap knowledge I retain can actually make me feel like a god. I also enjoy going to lots of small venue concerts. In the summer I try to get in as much hiking & biking as possible.

My outsides: 

I'm 5'7", in decent physical shape, have 2 medium tattoos on each arm (one a Tom Petty tat, the other the Pink Floyd hammers from The Wall). I'm a nerdy referential t-shirts & jeans type of guy; also like to wear Vans alot.

Occupation: 

I'm an Online/Finishing Editor for an outdoor television production company in Littleton.

Schools Attended: 

Heritage High School / University Of Utah (Film Studies)

Places you've worked: 

Barnes & Noble Music Dept. (Employee for 3 years, Manager for 3 more)

My interests, hobbies, obsessions: 

I also geek out for many things sci-fi related: Doctor Who, both the old & redux series (the Fourth Doctor is my favorite with the Fifth a close second, although I'm also partial to the Eleventh [same first name and all]); Star Trek (primarily the Original series & Next Gen, I wouldn't consider myself a Trekkie or a Trekker but I wouldn't turn down the chance to attend a convention, in fact it's my goal to attend Comic Con at least once), and Futurama, which is the show I willfully geek out the most for. I also grew up on a fairly steady diet of Monty Python & Fawlty Towers, so it practically goes without saying that I'm a huge Brit-com devotee; my recent favorites have been The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Spaced & Look Around You.

I love delving into the world of science (even just saying the word out loud, emphatically... "SCIENCE!" [like in the Thomas Dolby song]). I primarily go about this by reading amazing (and relatively [not an intended pun] complicated) books about space, time, physics, quantum mechanics and the history of different scientific fields & people (particularly Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil DeGrasse Tyson & Michio Kaku). I'm particularly fond of books that incorporate science with elements of pop culture, history & sociology.

Education Level: 
College Graduate
I would like to meet: 

My interests are fairly esoteric, not eccentric, but it would be amazing if I could meet a fellow geek girl who not only understands them, but digs them as well.

Your thoughts in a nutshell
My thoughts on Smoking: 

Smoke if you've got 'em, however, I have wicked allergies to the smoke, so I don't do it, nor do I like to be around it.

My thoughts on Religion: 

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

My thoughts on Politics: 

"Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters."

My thoughts on Pets: 

Grew up with cats, but dogs are cool.

My thoughts on Alcohol: 

The occasional couple of beers, mostly when I'm at a quiz or the 1Up. Or a glass of wine when I'm at a classy restaurant. But not all that often.

My thoughts on Diet: 

Pretty much mostly willing to try about anything.

My thoughts on Fitness: 

Lots of hiking and biking in the summer, but I like to have fun doing it, so nothing ridiculously strenuous.
