Single dad- loves reading, music, Internet, friends~!- Going to school and working right now. Go to MySpace and look up /jackhammer95815. That will tell you most of what you need to know. Sorry, I am just really never on this site anymore. Mad love for my homies divageekMKE, gingerpett, and amadra. Peace out.

OH! Also...not looking to create some family or "complete" anyone else. Already done that, f*ck all that noise. I'm complete as I am, no matter what I have or don't have, are you? Just looking for people to laugh and learn with. Life is a journey, let's not make it all into goals of getting married just to say we did it, OK? If you can dig where I'm coming from, great! If not, sorry to disappoint, move along to the next person.

I am introspective, down-to-earth, and optimistic

Just trying to improve all the aspects of me. Being the best father I can be to my son. Just taking things day by day, but focused on goals that I'm setting for myself. Taking time each day to talk to friends. Slowing down long enough to hear what the Universe is saying to me in that particular moment. Never settling for less than I should, at least for very long. Being responsible, and having self-respect. Hanging with my winggirls, letting it all hang out. Going back to school! I am younger than you! I will outlive you all!

Things I excel at: Listening to you. No, really! I am easy to talk to. I communicate well also, even with my Y-chromosone handicap. I enjoy playing guitar or whatever is handy. Music has been a part of my life for a long time now, even if it doesn't dominate it like it did a long time ago. Cooking and baking! I grew up learning how to fend for myself from my dad, and he was an excellent cook, much better than myself, but I do OK. Getting the bacon crispy, yet not burnt. Math (for the hot nerdy chicks in the crowd, it always came naturally to me). Being a friend. Intellectual debates. Reading the credits at the end of movies, karaoke, making others feel good, writing or anything else that's creative in nature. Poetry and prose are a lot of my creative direction these days. I am kicking around the idea of writing an autobiography, but we'll see.

I think that I'm kind of quiet until people get to know me. I'm the type of person that people notice as a friend first and foremost. I'm like that hit of creeper that sends your mind on a trip when you're not expecting it anymore. I like the fact that I retain the majority of my ex-lovers as friends. I try my best to stay true to my word, I place a high value on integrity and loyalty to my friends and family. Quiet confidence. Hidden intensity, the good kind. The heart on my sleeve. All that and my ass. (That one's for Michelle).

Salinger, Herman Hesse, Tom Robbins, Diablo Cody, Kerry Cohen, Mick Foley. I think I will check out Kurt Vonnegut, too. Everyone seems to like his books. I'm big into autobiographies as well. Everyone has an interesting story to tell. I am big into comic books. I don't collect much anymore, but I do hang out at Barnes and Noble or the local library, reading graphic novels and regular books.

(Not counting Air, food, or water:) my son, my friends, a toothbrush, intelligent conversations, music, my guitar, a creative outlet, the Internet, books, coffee. I guess that's ten. Oh well.

Creative energies, The Butterfly Effect, the peak experience, synchronicity, spirituality, entropy, resonant energy, quantum physics and the overlap of scientific and spiritual laws, the use of fnords in the present media, the future, friends and family, people I have yet to meet, people I can't seem to get a hold of right now, my own life's path, malleable destiny. I also spend a lot of time within my own head, realizing that I am the hardest person for me to figure out. Maybe that's why I wanted to be a psychologist in high school.

At home, chillin' with my son. That's our day to hang out and talk about what's really on our minds. On the rare occasion that doesn't happen, it's chillin' with friends.

Anything. I'm not a hard person to know.

If you are interesting and have something to say. If you are not one of the "normal" people. If you still know what it is to truly live and be alive. Please do not message me if you cannot converse with large words. Also, do not message me if you lack the ability to use punctuation and spell words correctly. Also do not message me if getting remarried is your agenda because you're lonely and need someone to keep your life together. Desire, don't require; that's the key.
