ME!
I am 5'10", 155lbs, brown hair, blue eyes, HETEROSEXUAL. My interests include computers (duh), music (thinkin' about buying myself a keyboard), astronomy, parties, dance clubs, flying (as soon as I can afford it), weightlifting (not lately), and running . The only drugs I have ever done are caffeine, Tylenol, and alcohol. Never smoked anything, never will.
I have lived in the same city all of my life but I was actually born in Washington D.C. My parents divorced when I was 3 years old and, for the most part, grew up with my mother and sister. I have always loved to learn but have always hated school.
You may be wondering what the name Kornbeeff is all about - look at my FAQ for an explanation. I live in Maryland between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Incase you are wondering where you might have heard those names. Washington D.C. is where hundreds of people from all over the country meet to decide how to screw with your life and Baltimore is the home of the Orioles - one kick-ass baseball team. Lived in this state all my life and am quite happy here. There are no earthquakes, virtually no tornadoes, I live right between two really busy cities, and the air is clean.
Right now I work full-time as a network integration specialist. My current project is assisting in upgrading a major network that covers North, Central, and South America. I setup the computer systems here and, in many cases, travel to the locations in Latin America and the Ceribbean to integrate them into the network.
Some of my Favorites:
Music: I like all kinds of music with the exception of country. This is just a tiny smattering of names of artists, groups, and singles I can think of at any given moment. I will add to the list as I think of more. Just because I list a group or artist, dosen't mean I love ALL of their music or have their album. It basically means I like at least two or three singles they have released.
Rap: Coolio, Snoop Doggy Dog, Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, Dr. Dre', PM Dawn, L.L. Cool J., Ice Cube, Ice-T, Lil' Kim,
R&B: R. Kelly, Marvin Gay, Boys ][ Men, New Edition, Maxi Priest, Sade, Mariah Carey, Keith Sweat, Al B. Sure, Usher, Brenda Russel, Ralf Treasvant
Rock/Alternative: Sharyl Crow, Collective Soul, Smashing Pumpkins, Journey, Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Seal, Sting, The Police, Aerosmith, Blues Traveler, Sarah Macglachlan, Depeche Mode
Dance: All kinds, such as 'Move it Move it', 'What is Love', 'The Bomb', 'Plastic Dreams', 'It Takes Two', Real McCoy, Snap ('Rythem is a Dancer') and just about anything with more than just a repetitive beat.
Ambience/New Age: Roger and Brian Eno (absolute masters), Enigma, Enya, lots of the music found in Cosmos, the series by Carl Segan, the album Pure Moods
Food: Need I explain this category???
Pizza (of course)..with green peppers and onions or nothing but cheese. Pan is good: you get more for your money.
Bagels! Love bagels, especially with deli on them or chicken salad. Breakfast bagels are excellent too.
Ravioli, the frozen-in-a-bag kind, not the canned crap - With Prego sauce
All kinds of meat - NO LIVER
Oriental food including lo-main (or however you spell it), egg rolls, sweet/sour stuff, mildly hot stuff
Chicken burrito supremes (from Taco Bell) their Mexican pizza is good too.
Garden salads with Italian, French, Caesar, or Ranch dressing.
Sea food: CRABS!!! YES! lobster, scallops, and shrimp. I don't really care much for fish. I have tried so many kinds and they are all so bland and taste almost the same.
Ice Cream: my favorite is Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Women: again, self-explanatory...
Height: I like 'em short! Shorter than me! :-) Ohh.. I guess 5'0" - 5'7" is cool. I have been asked to give some more accurate details.. To be more specific, I guess I could add that I am strongly attracted to petite, full-figured, proportioned women. That is a must. I would take someone like Paula Abdul over Uma Thurman anyday. Skin and bones just isn't my thing.
Hair: I never thought I had a hair preference for the longest time, but I have found that I like long, brown/black wavy/curly hair. Gotta have long hair. :-) Of course, they don't HAVE to have that kind of hair, I'm just a bit partial to it.
Personality: Open-minded, kind, generous, humor is nice, intellectual, very affectionate, sensitive, NON-SMOKING. Someone who actually thinks sex and intimacy is something important in a relationship. Someone who is mature and doesn't bitch and whine about every little thing (anal). But we all have our little quarks - I'm flexible. Someone who is feminine. Someone who is very sexual and sensual like myself. I guess that's it..
My Voice
Since I have lots of pictures of myself, I thought I would put my voice here as well. I used the MPEG3 audio format for a couple of reasons. First, to conserve space on my server. Secondly, I can use a much higher quality sample since the file is so small in MPEG3 format (Its original size was 760k!) Finally, MPEG is the standard for moving high-quality audio over the internet. You may have heard about the illegal copying and distribution of music over the internet - MPEG is the format used since it is so good. I have also included links to an excellent MPEG3 player called Winamp. Even if you already have a player, I suggest that you get this one - It's loaded with features and its only 300k AND its FREE.
Ryan.mp3 - (68k) This is a recording of one of the greetings I have had on my voice-mail pager. I think it's a good sample of my voice.
