I enjoy kayaking when the weather is good, target shooting, zoo trips, the beach, reading & learning things, etc.

I have a dog named Raylan

Studying, work/etc.

Making others feel good is a ability I like about myself. :)

Being able to function without others. I can change my own flat tire, package an item for shipping, clean fish, endure discomfort & make do with less.

Being friendly, writing poetry & stories. Not as depressing as Cormac Mcarthy, but somewhat deep though. ;)

People say I have an energy, a force of happiness & cheer that just moves people to be happy. I am very pleasant to be around & work with.

I am very mature & that is definatey noticable. I tend to joke I'm a reincarnated old soul.

I tend to dress sharp, I actally wear button up dress shirts more than T-shirts actually.

Books: The Gabriel Allon/Mitch Rapp/Jack Reacher series's in books with a noticable mention to anything by Agatha Christie & Carlene Thompson.

Movies: I dislike horror films where all they do is try to gross you out with gore, but I do enjoy a good suspense film like "LA Confidential" or "Collateral". I love westerns also.

Shows: Deadwood, The Drew carey show, Justified, Jericho, Firefly, etc.

Music: Most anything except heavy metal/rap. I particularly enjoy Frank Sinatra/Billie Holliday type music but also enjoy Kesha/Pink, Toby Kieth & Taylor Swift. Much much more too.

Food: I cook a great grilled chicken, but enjoy a nice steak too. My favorite dinner out is either Texas Roadhouse or a little seafood joint I know. I am kind of a selective eater though.

I'm tempted to put "air" as #1, but I'm going to try to be serious here. LOL

1. Righteousnes. It may sound crazy but it's important to me to always be as perfect as I can be & honorable in all things.
2. Freedom.
3. pool
4. My car.
5. Family. I have been blessed with a good one & I am happy with them most of the time. :)
6. Animals. I love them. The zoo is one of the few places I never get tired of going.

World events: I like trying to figure out what happens next but I can tell you right now that I haven't got a clue what's going to happen here with the economy. :/

Planning for a trip to the grand canyon next year. <3

Trying to figure out how they send me these "quiver matches" with dopes I have nothing in common with & it is so blatantly obvious. :p

I mean I clearly state I don't want a drug user & then poof they show up. BAH!

Either at work, or at home reading/spending time with my family watching a movie after dinner.

I am not a big club person. I hate bars/loud music.

I'm somewhat shallow about piercings. I hate them, especially tongue ones.

You like honest, straightforward guys who are caring, not drug addicts & that you can take home to your parents..

If you aren't an Obama fan.

If you want someone who is responsible, can cary on a conversation & want to be made to feel sexy/desired.

If you aren't looking to play games. I am too old for that crap.
If you like to talk. I hate being the only one talking.

Don't have in your profile anything like "I want a prince charming/true love". It makes you look unrealistic.
I don't demand perfection but I want you to have some respect for yourself & me to at least be under 200 pounds.

Don't message me if your idea of love is anything like what you'd see in "twilight" or "friends". Your idea of love doesn't exist & never did. Real love is more like a warm familiar blanket feeling than fireworks everyday of your life.
