Hi all! I am a person who grew up in a very sheltered life on a farm in WV. I graduated from West Virginia University but was still delivering pizzas so I moved to NC :) I have been working in the corporate world for a few years but hate the politics and process BS of it all. I am a somewhat shy, and consider myself very honest and hate when people lie. I like to think I can be romantic and goofy as well. I enjoy surfing the web, working on my 4x4 trucks, skiing, playing golf, watching football, standing in the rain, and being a goober :) Haha!. I believe that true love exists and would like to prove that to myself by finding it! I drink sometimes, usually only 4-5 beers but once in a while I'll get trashed...oops, can you say * hangover the next day * :). I read a lot of profiles and they seem cookie cutter and not very in depth, so that's what I'm trying to avoid here.

Ok, so most of that was cut and paste from another personal I did. I don't think its too bad, maybe a little cheezy. Eventually I'll get around to revising it.

Recent addition: I will be 35 in a couple years. I still have trouble comprehending that I am over 30. Anyway, I'm realizing if I have anything that I want to get done in life I need to start on it now. So far I can't really think of anything except I would like to get married. I don't know about kids, I usually don't like them but I'm not 100% against the idea.

Why do I have to do anything with it, can't I just be a couch potato???? :)

Update on my job situation: I have been working at Jimmy John's deliverying for 13 months now. My career field is IT, and yes I know that makes me a computer geek. I haven't worked in an IT job since I got fired from my last one in Sept 2008. I have been looking to get back into it and got a job offer on Tuesday that I am going to take. I will be working 3rd shift weekends eventually, which really sucks but it's a full time job with benefits so what can I say. It *should* be about 2 weeks before I start but this company seems to have their heads up their asses when it comes to getting stuff done on time so it might be a little longer before my background check, etc is still done. I am going to keep the delivery job at JJ's and cut back to about 20 hours per week. It will be nice to have extra money to spend on toys again!!

Dancing on top of my car??? LOL...it's not like a lot of other people do it so I definitely should be one of the best!!! Everyone needs their own unique thing that they do!

I like most country music.
LOVE Journey!
Enjoy BBQ plates from Cook out.
I use Wikipedia to do almost any research. Its fabulous!
Just watched the the new transformers movie...before that I watched the new Star Trek which was great.
I saw previews for a movie called "2012" which looks at the prophecy of the world ending in that year. I've had some discussions with people about that including Nostradamus' prediction that the world will end on 12/31/12. I think I'll go read about that some more.

1. Hope 2. Sleep 3. Internet 4. Laughter 5. Cute girls with big smiles :) 6. I don't know...stop interrogating me!

What I want out of life. I try to think about how to get it but that doesn't come very easily :) Every once in a while I get the urge to change my image. I've considered getting a tatto and explored being a devil worshipper, but I guess those urges have worn off after a bad weekend or the beer is gone. LOL. I know I'm part computer geek and part redneck, and probably after that nothing is certain. Guess part of what makes life worth living is finding out what else is out there, although some days I'm completely content to just stay inside all day and watch tv and play on the internet.

Update 9/19/09: I read someone's journal comments today about their struggles to keep losing weight and better themselves. They came to the conclusion that they needed to be happy with themselves before they can have a real relationship. I thought about that a lot and I am in the same boat. I need to find motivation to stop being lazy, find a good job again, workout and get my body in better shape, and other things. I admit working out seems to be a catalyst to help start all those other things but I can't seem to find the motivation for it. If someone reads this and needs a workout partner maybe we should talk :)

Here's kinda the weird story of my life I guess....I found the strength to finish college, and that's probably the accomplishment I'm most proud of. I moved into the corporate world and I actually think life was better when I was in college. I stayed in the same job over 4 years even though I HATED it. I was always living paycheck to paycheck and didn't want to deal with not having money for bills so I didn't quit. I did finally manage to buy a house and get a better job but it still felt empty, I guess because I have a hard time making friends and only have a couple close ones. I sold the house after like 15 months and can't really say I miss it. It was your typical 3 bedroom 2.5 bath on like 1/4 acre land in a housing development, totally wrong for me. I don't know why I couldn't see that before I bought it. I am not working in the corporate world now, only temp jobs and small 2-3 day projects, but I have no stress from work and I guess I'm happier. You can never be totally happy with life though, so the search for what you want must go on. Please let me find true love someday! :)

Speaking of love, I hope its worth the pursuit. For some reason I always seem to try too hard or else recognize too late that there's the possibility for love. I guess my shyness hasn't helped that because sometimes I don't communicate what I need and when I finally do its too late, the person is not available. Been burned on that before. :( So if anyone is reading this, is it too straight forward to tell a girl I think you're attractive, I'd like to get to know you, I'm looking for love and not to just get laid but I know it'll take time to prove that to you, so how bout giving me the chance? I'd be lying if I said I always take that approach, I try to flirt a little bit sometimes and I'm sure that comes across looking like somebody who just wants to get laid....god this whole love thing is a challenge isn't it? :)

I've recently started thinking about religion/god a little more. I don't go to church and I usually don't think about god much. I do believe in god and pray sometimes when things go bad. I also occasionally pray when things are good just to say think you. I try to watch my g.d's. Other than that I can't really say god is an influence in my life. I watched a couple movies recently that involved people dying and it has started to dawn on me that I could die at anytime and I need to get my beliefs figured out a little more. I guess the biggest problem I have with religion/church is who I have to answer to. It's a lot easier to answer to your own conscious (sp?) than it is to God. I tried going to church for about a month 5-6 years ago. I gave me the attitude that I should never get pissed at somebody, that I should just forgive them on spot if they did something to me and move on. It kinda disgusted me the way I became. I don't want to let go of anger/bad feelings that easily, in fact sometimes I want to express and even overly express them. Is that even the real issue with religion? Hell sometime I should have a deep conversation with someone who is a Christian....

Working my second job deliving pizza. I usually get off at 11 or midnight and go have a couple beers at my local watering hole. Nothing major, just a cooloff kinda thing.

You would ever consider dancing on top of a car, you believe in true love, and you hate the idea of hooking up with people in bars.

You want to have a deep conversation about religion.

You can answer this question: If you are interested in somebody's profile online, is it a bad idea to send them a long message with everything you thought about their profile, what you liked, what you have in common, etc? Or do people just want stupid little flirty messages with no real substance or anything to tell you more about a person?
