My self-summary
We call them cool.
Those hearts that have no scars to show.
The ones that never do let go.
And risk it the tables being turned.

We call them fools.
Who have to dance within the flame.
Who chance the sorrow and the shame.
That always come with getting burned.

But you got to be tough when consumed by desire.
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire.

Do you know the next verse to this song?

Anyways, here's a short rundown of myself.

I'll be 34 on the 12th of May.

I became a father when I was 19.

Married when I was 21 to my high school sweetheart.

Had another child at age 22 and again at 23.

Been separated since 2005 when I was 25.

Landed in the hospital when I was 32 for 1 1/2 months in 2011.

Haven't worked since then, trying to get on disability.

Lost most everything I worked for. (home, car, etc...)

Moved myself and my kids into my dads late last year. (hate living here).

In the process of getting divorced currently (finally).

And that pretty much sums up the highlights for the last 16 years. Any questions just ask.
What I’m doing with my life
Just living one day at a time. Trying to lose weight, and get into as good of shape as I can, although I'll never be 100% healthy again. I spend a lot of time with my kids, family, and friends as often as I can.

I'm currently in the process of getting assessments done in order to proceed with weight loss surgery. Getting all those done in the next few months and should be looking at sometime in October for the surgery. :)

I love to go swimming and can't wait for the subdivision pool to open up next month. The kids and I usually go 5-6 days a week for a few hours each time. We try to do other things, but a lack of transportation, funds, and my heart condition prevent me from doing a whole lot or going very far. I also rejoined the local community band this year after a 13 year absence.
I’m really good at
Barbecuing, making breakfast, sandwiches, and overall cooking in general. Now baking on the other hand, not so much, although I do try every now and again. I'm also good at driving, writing, being a dad, listening and talking.
The first things people usually notice about me
My dashing good looks. Lol My height, size, blue soulful eyes, and blonde hair.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Love comedies, Ncis, Law and Order, Big bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Wheel of Fortune, and many other great shows.
The six things I could never do without
1. My kids.
2. My family.
3. My friends.
4. A phone.
5. A computer.
6. Good barbecue.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
reflecting on decisions I've made in the past, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Also learning from past decisions or mistakes as not to repeat them and to make for a better future for my kids and myself.
On a typical Friday night I am
Playing board or video games with my kids. Or helping my daughter practice on the piano/keyboard, or my son with the bells and snare drum. My oldest child plays saxophone and is awesome at it. Sometimes we'll do a urban bonfire in the back yard in one of the bbq pits.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
Many people may glance my way once and never give me another thought, some will make fun of me, and some may be disgusted of me. But those who take the time to get to truly know me, I can promise love me and never will forget me.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 25–45
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, long-distance penpals
You should message me if
you would like someone to talk/chat with. I'm pretty easy to get along with, and would love to get to know you better. Also I promise I will respond to any messages as soon as I can.
