I’ll fully and easily admit that I’m the typical guy. Worried yet? Yeah, I like watching football (mainly The Bengals). But my Sunday isn’t ruined if I don’t get to see them. I can cook, sow (for the most part), wash dishes, and do my own laundry. I don’t need anyone to TAKE CARE of me. I firmly believe in the 50/50 split in relationships. You work, talk, and enjoy together or the relationship will fail on its own.

I love talking about the forbidden topics; politics, religion, philosophy, sex. I have opinions and like to share them. But, I love it when I can actually have a reasonable conversation with the purpose of learning from each other. I have to admit that I have taken a side that I don’t actually agree with to see if someone can make me think more about my true ideas, or if they’re just BS’ing me.

(more to come here)

Scary thought for you to consider, if you're thinking anything beyond friends. I am a single Dad. I have two boys that I love more than I ever thought I would. I have them for about half the year. I know that stepmom isn't a gig for everyone. So, just keep that in mind

Working to live, not living to work.

Being that friend. The one everybody knows will help out, listen, or just try to make things better or funnier. I’m also fairly good at most sports and outdoorsy things. Thinking around corners. Coming up with random info that nobody would ever care to know (Turtles can fart out of their eye sockets)

Not so good at: Spelling!! Singing, even though I still do it all the time. Sitting still for really long periods of time

Yes, I actually asked. The top five answers are on the board: witty, playful, wise ass, logical, caring.
Okay, I'm leaving off 5'7" because that's just obvious.

I really enjoy movies. I like most any type of movie. I love comedies, but I'll sit and watch almost anything. A few that top the list: Hitch, The Great Escape, Bad Boys, Good Will Hunting, American Pie, The American President, Wild Hogs, Happy Gilmore, The fighting Sea Bees, The Day after Tomorrow, The Santa Claus (all of them) Star Trek, Indiana Jones, How to loss a Guy in 10 days ... okay, I really like movies.

My Ipod says it all. Buckcherry, Lou Bega, Paul Simon, Reba, Sugar Cult, Jimmy Buffett, GNR, Amy Lee, CCR, BTH, Clay Walker, Pink, Will Smith (even his Fresh Prince days) are all mixed in there. With a few others I've stumbled onto along the way.

I do eat food. I haven't been able to figure out how to live with out it yet. I like latin, indian's okay, eastern can be good, ... just not big into sea food.

I don't do much reading for fun. But, I like S. King, JK Rolling, N Sparks, T. Goodkind, and Tolkin just to name a few.

Jimmy Buffet (music, hell the real thing works too)
Dead terrorists and Peanuts (Dunham fans)
My Snoopy shirt
spiders. I wouldn't want to live in a world without em. Imagin all the bugs
Season Salt
And Ketchup??? You have to eat something

Or....

Water to play in.
Good music to sing along with poorly
My kids (I know I have 2, but I can count as one if I wanna)
People to make laugh and to laugh at me
Inspiration - hey nobody said it had to be tangible
Great conversations

How to get where I want to end up, what things may come, and why put blinkers on cars if people arn't going to use them? How to fix the world. How to time travel. What's my flugalbinder (props if you get the movie)

at work, at Banditos, playing spades with friends, putting the kids to bed or looking for something fun to do. I have decided that I am going to try all the things that I have forgotten to pay attention to. I have started exploring Richmond, trying new restaurants, clubs, bars, coffee shops, wineries, hiking trails, hanging out in parks, and anything I can find that's new and exciting.

I'm a contradiction. My favorite holidays are halloween and christmas.... okay, it goes deeper but I'll leave a little mystery.

... you know who you are. You know what you want from life. You are strong and confident. ... you want to meet a man who is witty, kind, open, romantic, silly, and wakes up each day and tries to find the good in everything. ... enjoy talking, learning, exploring, trying new things, playing, and being with friends.

Don't message me: If you're here for a one night stand. If you can't give an answer when asked, "what do you want to do tonight." If you honestly believe in waiting on a man hand and foot is a good thing.
