Haha, I WAS punk, though that's still all I really listen to. I'm actually only 28 (not balding), getting my PhD in HEP-Th, and I've been listening to punk since about the 6th grade. (To name a quick few of the stuff I listen to: OpIvy/Rancid, NoFX, Lagwagon, Millencolin, Hi-Standard, Slapstick, Deftones(old), Strung Out, Suicide Machines, Propagandhi, Minor Threat, Decendents/ALL, Less Than Jake, At The Dive In, Braid, Tuesday, Beirut, Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, The Get Up Kids, Bayside, Saves The Day and so on and so forth.)
My hobbies/interests the last few years include:
SCCA Pro Solo and Solo-II Racing (I know a lot about cars as I was an engineer in undergrad, but not a muscle car fan). I've learned some martial arts (BJJ and Wing Chun), I ski(twin tips, I'm good), and snowboard(rent, I'm bad). I surf occasionally too but I'm bad at that as well (When I'm out in LA, HI, or sometimes in the summer in Michigan). I read a lot. I play tennis when I can, trying to learn racquetball now. I love cycling, ride my bike pretty much everywhere when it isn't snowing. I just bought a 250cc motorcycle 3 years ago, I may get something bigger, but I don't like cruisers, nor do I like crazy crotch rockets. I like standards LIKE THESE

Lets see, what else, oh I play some musical instruments. I was in a punk band in high school, but have never stopped playing. I'm a quite decent guitar player, but I can also play the bass, drums, trumpet and piano. I have all of it set up in my basement so when friends/my brothers are over we always play (most of my friends are still in bands, doing quite well to be honest). I'd love to start a band, as I've written tons of stuff.
I speak english, a lot of spanish, a little of french and japanese.
I get bored easily when things aren't interesting and I'm constrained from doing something else, but I never complain about it. If left to my own devices I NEVER am bored. This leads to the problem of not caring if those around me are bored, as I will just start thinking about physics or something to pass the time, or get up and do something on my own. I don't work well with people who can't entertain themselves.
For some reason I despise when people get upset over frivolous things and tell me about it. I'm lacking in empathy, but I am OK with that.
I'm not super talkative when meeting people for the first few times; I am friendly and not shy but rather reserved. Unfortunately people think that if you're not some super-outgoing attention-hog then you must be insecure about yourself. I'm the opposite. I'm probably too confident and so I have no care whether or not the people I meet like me.
Thats pretty much it. I've tried to be a well-rounded person, dabbling in a little of everything. So if there's one, there must be many! I'm sure you'll find someone, the key is to get creative in where you look.
