i'm mike, and i'm a little shy at first. i'm pretty smart and i work hard, but i'm not very motivated. the glass is often half empty. don't get me wrong; things aren't all bad. i mean, sure, every girl that i've gone out with in the past couple years has been either B----y, ----ty, flaky, or dumber than a box of hair. there was even one that told me she was "still technically married" on our third date. (there wasn't a fourth) - but i'm not bitter. life goes on, as they say... or maybe that was the name of a tv show... either way, i think it still applies.

i might come off as a smart ass, but i'm usually not trying to be mean... usually.

i'm typically way too nice to people, even when they don't deserve it. there's been a few that have pushed me over that line, but they're few and far between. and we don't dare say their names aloud... sorry. that sounded much more cryptic than i thought it would...

anyway, i graduated from umass dartmouth, but i never wanted to pursue a career in my major. i was forced to choose a major by the end of my sophomore year, and since i've always been good at math, economics seemed like the way to go. - of course, i wouldn't have chosen it if i had known what i know now. hindsight is 20-20. and a B----. now if i could only find something that i might enjoy doing for the next 50 years or so - maybe i'll be a writer or a kindergarten teacher, maybe even an evil genius - only time will tell.

anyway, i love anything sci fi. a certain mr. mcfly got me started when i was young. after that, i got into the next generation and was hooked for life.

my screen name on AIM is mikjaeg in case you wanted to get in touch.
