After writing every subsequent paragraph already this seems like it should be at the end of the list; imagination is one thing, but combining it with introspection is a bitch.

I am:
-divorced from a relationship of 3 unmarried and 3 married years
-a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan (1 yr each)
-a former "paracadutista e fucile-uomo"
-a worldly fun-loving active dynamo whose adventures span 16 countries
-an easygoing friend who can have fun at home with just a good woman or good game (preferably both) in any mediocre town he lives in
-a problem solver who likes to reason, gain knowledge, and argue (in the good, constructive way, like political and philosophical)

I'm in a relationship with the lovely franceskamaja, and belong to an amazing circle of friends that includes Willsc81(27f), Flannery13(29f), and saltysalamander(28m). I would know none of them if it weren't for OK Cupid. I owe so much to this site. As frustrating or abysmal as it may seem, count your blessings that you are here at all, and jump on those good opportunities to get to know people. Meet, drink, and be merry.

I am inquisitive, easygoing, and steadfast

Studying Criminology at FSU, working part time and collecting the GI bill. Ultimately I'm aiming for a career in law enforcement at the federal level.

"Other things," video games, shooting, arguing respectfully, giving massages, listening, solving problems, being easy to please, being extremely hard to anger.

To a lesser extent:
-Playing pool - used to play a lot, but that was a while ago.
-Being thoughtful, cheering people up, kissing.
-Board games for adults, cranium, taboo - fun stuff like that that forces you to think.

My goatee? Or if it happens to be shaved at the time, that I look 10 years younger than I am without it?

Those are wild guesses... people probably notice actions, not what I look like. They want to know what I'm laughing at or what interesting thing I'm doing.

Sex.

Video Games. (/any purely unsubstantial inexplicably fun activities)

Uhmm... lets see... wow I must be easy to please...

conversation, reason, laughter, and liberty.

How to be a good sheepdog, and why I am one. Reality being an objective absolute. The first few seconds of great sex after an hour of mind-blowing foreplay. Actually having figured out the meaning of life at age 12. Reasoning everything into black and white. The last, middle, and first few seconds that contain "little deaths".

Either boring the prospective onlookers whilst at home with good company and something amusing to do, or amusing the prospective onlookers whilst inebriated enough to ignore how boring dark rooms where liquor is served can be. Or somewhere in between the two, when there's a pool table, darts, a live band, or something cool to do where people actually still congregate.

1) Inevitably women who love me will call me a "horndog."

2) I don't see myself ever having children.

You want to.

I've got one of those all-inclusive IM programs, so you have several options if OKC chat isn't your bag:
Aim/Y!/MSN: DivorcedIraqVet
ICQ: 441369483

I'm really not sure why they don't have a space for this, but here's the question and the test I created.
