I am passionate, funny, and secure.
My Self-Summary
Ok, I didn't get the bracket thing alright?
I'm Rob, just moved to Oregon from MD by way of Alaska. My job
keeps me moving, so travel is something I guess I have to like out
of necessity; I guess my new job has me staying put though for a
few years!
To be honest, I am a big kid. I love the things I have in my life,
and even though I have direction and a career, I am not real
serious. I mean that in a good way, I like to goof off, go do fun
things, occasionally I have been known to screen my calls on off
days if you know what I mean....
I am passionate about my interests, the kind of person who turns up
a song so loud that neighbors can hear it, and I would still be
like "sit still, you'll miss the best part". Everyone within a
block knows if I have seen a Corvette, I freak out lol. I love the
cars.
What I’m doing with my life
Well, good one ha! I have been in the Coast Guard now for 10 years,
so I think it's safe to say I am making it a career. It has been
good to me, you know? After I retire at the ripe old age of 38, I
want to build old cars, work at a hot rod shop or something, so I
will be taking classes for that starting next summer. Also want to
pursue my musical interests, which means I really want to play in
some really small bars with a group of great guys who are also in
it for fun. I really am a big kid!
I also just quit smoking after 10 years of a bad habit. It is a lot
easier than I thought it would be. I started lifting weights and
exercising to get back into great shape like I was in after high
school. By the way, lifting weights sucks, I hate it actually.
Along with the smoking thing is the drinking thing. I have pretty
much stopped "drinking" in the social sense. I don't go partying or
clubbing, but I will have drinks with dinner, or maybe go play pool
every once in a while and have beer. Doing things to be healthier
has been a big change in my life, and I am glad I am doing it.
I’m really good at
Well, I am not really good at anything. Lying I guess. Ok, kidding.
I am actually superb at being a smart ass. I have been playing
guitar now for almost 12 years, so I guess I am ok at that. I
personally think I should be better. I love working on my cars, but
I am not what I would call "really" good at it lol. Let's see, I
build model airplanes (another holdover from being a big kid), but
again, I am not super good at it. Making people laugh is something
I am good at I suppose.
The first things people usually notice about me
My mannerisms. If you tied me to a chair and asked me to tell a
story, I would fall over lol, I cannot talk without using my hands.
I have been told I have a nice smile too.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
A) Catch-22, The Last King, anything having to do with WWII
aviation.
B) Not much of a T.V. watcher, but again with the WWII thing and
also westerns, especially John Wayne. Smokey and The Bandit is one
of my favs too!
C) Easy: Classic Rock and Blues.
D) Anything. I am an eater, not a fighter.
The six things I could never do without
1) My Family
2) My Corvettes
3) Music
4) My guitars
5) Humor
6) Toilet Paper
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Wow, um....my mind goes a hundred miles a minute, thinking about
different things all the time. I really don't give serious though
about stuff in my life because I am indifferent about many things.
I used to think a lot about the woman who was in my life until
recently, but now that she is no longer part of my life...
I am not a "mull" person I guess. It has taken me years to realize
that once someone makes a decision, or something happens in life,
there is very little that can be done about it, so I don't let
things worry me anymore. Honestly, I made the change last year, and
I have been less stressed and more happy than I had been until
then.
On a typical Friday night I am
Either working or at my place doing nerd stuff, like reading or
building a model lol. Sometimes I am out, but not often.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My middle name is Grover. Please keep it a secret though....
You should message me if
You should message me if you want to. All the things before this
are ballpark, surface scratching ideas of who I am. If you really
want to know me, or anyone else actually, you have to invest some
time in it.
