Kinda skeptical about this internet dating thing. I have not had much luck with it. I like laughing and can be sarcastic. I have goals. I try to be as open and honest as I can with everyone. I love cars and my motorcyle. I try to be very hands on. I have a pick-up truck and seem to be happiest when something is in the back of it - like fresh mulch for the garden or maybe a couch for a friend. I sit a lot at work and in my college classes and when I get some free-time, I need to do something physical, if for no other reason than to stay healthy. I like to run. I have a mountain bike and am not afraid to use it. :-) I have a bird-dog. Even though he doesn't do a great job of keeping the birds from my blueberry bushes, he is like my kid so I keep him around. I also volunteer, from time to time, with a couple of rescues. If you don't like dogs, it is not going to work. Just being honest. I'm not much into sitting on the couch and watching sports. There needs to be some sort of an event for me to sit and watch a baseball game, for example (meeting a few friends at a bar qualifies as an event, going to a game qualifies as an event). I have no problems with embarrassing myself playing volleyball, or kickball, or.....

Cold kickin' it live....

More specifically, on the weekends, laying down a funky groove with a bassist, a guitarist and a singist. ;-) Don't worry it is just for fun. We realize we are too old to be rock stars. The four of us just use it as down time.

Through the week, I work in engineering and I go to college part-time. I am attempting a career change. It would be to take something that I am doing right now and combine it with something I've always had an interest in.

Opening Jars
Falling while ice skating.
Falling while skiing
Roadtrips. I don't own a GPS yet I can typically find where I am going.
Making banana pancakes - from scratch (none of this Bisquick stuff w/a banana mashed up in it)

Maybe my eyes - they are blue. I was told sometimes I have a very stoic facial expression.

Books...well I tend to be reading a text book of some sort. Spare time reading is typically something like WSJ, Dwell, Grassroots or Classic Motorsports, Atomic Ranch - something that I can read in about 15 minutes and furthers some interest in my life (cars, investing, my house, whatever). I think the last book I actually read was "The Snowball" (biography of Warren Buffett).
Movies...I love action movies (you really didn't think I was into The Notebook, did you? LOL). Boondock Saints are some of my favs. Comedies are also good.
Shows....I don't really watch much TV. In fact, I don't own a DVR!
Music...Beth Hart is one of my favorite singer / songwriters. Rarely do you find someone who sings with as much passion as she does. I tend to gravitate towards music that have things like...key changes, and singers who can actually sing and are not auto-tuned. ;-)
Food...I would say some sort of Italian dish will always win me over.

My dog, Scotty - can't explain this one other than he does help cut stress
Family
Friends
Music - finally got back to playing the drums
A comfy pair of jeans
Dyson Vacuum. Okay. Maybe I could do without it but it really is the benchmark all vacuums should be judged against. And my dog would be happy if I did without it. But that's just because he doesn't like vacuums in general.

Why do holes appear in my black socks much faster than my blue ones?

If everyone on here thinks their confidence is higher than average, wouldn't that really make everyone's confidence.....average?

With college classes part-time, by Friday at the end of the work day, I need to just chill for the night. Saturday night - well that's a little different.

Being a good uncle sometimes means sucking it up and playing My Little Ponys with your niece. :-)
....although "Rainbow Dash" became "Rainbow Slash", the guitarist for "Funs & Roses". She was 4; she had no idea.

First of all, if you are emotionally and physically available. You are looking for more than a pen pal. You've dealt with your past. If you have at least average intelligence and can carry a conversation. If you can handle sarcasm. If you like to laugh. If you like to go out and do things. If you feel you are a kindred spirit to a certain Muppet and would like to explain why (Animal for me - we both like the drums and fast cars). That last one - I'd certainly like to hear from you!
