Hi there interneters! I am John The [Usually] Jubilant, and I am tired of looking for love or friendship in all the wrong places (alleyways, nunneries, under the sea, etc.). Therefore, I have chosen this free online dating as a substitute, having heard all of the most happenin' humans inhabit this hopefully harbinger of happiness... hashbrown!

Infusing the world with humor whilst simultaneously making the dollar dollar. Free puppies and tacos are abundantly available on my website, happyandsane.com. I work full time, but spend my free time trying to write enough material to fill an E-book (I hope to sell at least three copies).

I also like to play guitar, go camping/fishing/canoeing, shoot pool, go bowling, hang out at museums, and skip merrily through the zoo.

Making people laugh. I'm also pretty darn good at video games, but I've yet to find myself in a situation in life where that really came in handy.

I'm also a somewhat proficient writer and lucid dreamer.

I'm winning another Nobel Peace Prize.

A)Darkness at Noon, The Sound and the Fury, Demian, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Wise Blood, Jane Eyre, Good Omens, Catch-22 (absolute favorite), 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five, Kafka's short stories (i.e. The Penal Colony), Invisible Man (Ellison) , Atlas Shrugged, Time Machine, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Catcher in the Rye, Animal Farm, A Clockwork Orange, Heart of Darkness, Emma, Lord of the Rings, Ender's Game, Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, Ulysses, American Gods, Good Omens, 100 years of Solitude, just finished the 4th Game of Thrones book and The Hunger Games, etc. etc. etc.

C) Mostly everything (not so much into top-40). I dig classic rock (namely: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors, etc.) and 90s music (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Hootie). I also <3 Radiohead, The Porcupine Tree, The Flaming Lips, Tool, and anyone who tries to take their music in a new or different direction. I am currently trying to bolster my Jazz, Blues, and Country library (I love Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams Sr.).

Shooting pool or watching whatever new movie happens to be of interest to me. Working, napping, etc.

¡Quiero bailar en la luna!

*you have a good sense of humor
*you have any good books, movies, shows, vidya games, etc. you want to recommend
*you are looking for a good friend
*you are interested in any kind of artistic collaboration or starting a writers' club
*you just want to :)

Remember that every message makes me happy, which in turn makes the world a better place for every human being (and puppy). World peace will reign, and rainbows will beam in places they have no business beaming.
