My self-summary Propose an edit

There are a lot of wonderful people out there and some of you are on the Internet. It would be nice to find some one that I can talk to and love and be attracted to. I like movies and shows. I like to play tennis. I like to go to the beach. I like to go out to eat. It would be nice to explore the city more.

Honesty and trust is important. I'm not going to tell you that your new blouse makes you look fat (even if it does), but I've never cheated nor do I envision any such behavior in the future. If you have, I'm not the guy for you. I've spent a lot of time trying to get my career where I want it to be and now that I am there, I'd like to spend more time finding that special some one. It could be you.

It's hard to pick some one to fall in love with and live happily ever after. It may be that we don't even have much say in who we fall for. The universal sprockets spin. Some things I know I want and don't want. My match will have to have some education. I have many academic interests and doubt that I could form a true partnership with some one who has none. What would we talk about?

My match has to be somewhat active. I like to snuggle in front of a movie like anyone else, but if we can't enjoy a walk or even a run without calling 911, that's kind of a bummer. It doesn't matter what we do, so long as we can get outside and get some air and sun.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

When I was young my teachers put me down. They repressed me. They made me feel small. The Scar Trek to school was a trial every day. Teachers wouldn't leave us kids alone. And now? I'm a teacher. That's right I'm the one repressing. Kids these days ain't go no respect. Want to know what I'm doing with my life? One word: REVENGE!

Okay, I actually love my students, but don't tell them... it would be embarrassing.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Tennis. Geek games like chess and scrabble etc. I've got good listening skills... ... .... ....... ...... ....

.. ... ... ...... ... Yes, I see, that's very interesting.

I can cook a little bit. I'm pretty good with computers and stuff like that. My driving record is surprisingly clean. No accidents or moving violations.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I'll have to ask more of them :)

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I tend towards fiction, but am always looking to learn something new. Right now my favorite book is Mitch Ablum's The Five People you Meet in heaven. Also, Kurt Vonnegut is really good in Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse 5. I have a lot of books with fantastic characters and places. Nothing beats a story of a lost world where life is different and yet shows us a better view of reality. So far as movies go, I pick a comedy every chance I get. Romantic or intelligent rather than the silly goofball stuff.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

things? who cares

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Everything. I hate it when people ask me if I ever think about something. As soon as they say it, I'm thinking about it. Do you ever think about killing some one? Well no, but now that you bring it up I'm sure there is some one I think I can think about. I wonder if reality is a dream and vice versa etc. I'd like to know how badly the government is lying to us. Is it just the lies that we expect or are there some really big whoppers out there that no one has even thought of. I mean sure, we aren't in Iraq to help the people there but everyone knows that. I mean, what are the really real whoppers. Is the Army of One really just one guy who was cloned millions of times and dressed up with different makeup to look good on camera? I mean really, does anyone actually KNOW some one dumb enough to join the army these days?

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

My socks don't match. Sure, they are both white, but they come from different packages and are slightly different in shape.
