Greetings! I've reached a point in my life where its time to appreciate all that I've worked so hard to accomplish and share it all with someone special. I've run the gauntlet and now I'm ready to conquer :)

If hope is the engine of the soul,
Then duty is the navigator...
And love is the fuel.

Those who truly know me, know me as "ol' reliable". I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and YET I can be such an animated character at times (despite the fact that this profile does no justice to that since the teacher within is currently writing). I am constantly attempting to better myself, but at the same time I am trying not to compromise my larger than life, inner child that seems to come out at the most random moments. No worries though, I'm completely harmless (best taken in large doses of awesomeness) and certainly worth a few good laughs.

I like to spend time with family and friends, see what's on TV, go out for a bite. Exploring new venues is always fun. I enjoy musical rearrangements (anything but country), plan on taking over the world someday with camels on the moon, and what really makes me unique is that I 'died' and yet I'm still here to tell the story :) I dunno, probably not my best selling feature ;) I embrace my geekdom and am not ashamed that I've been pitted up against the cast of The Big Bang Theory! :) Pick my brain, I dare ya!

"FAITH is still having HOPE in the relentless face of doubt..."

As is the case with all humans, I am fallible. I tend to open my heart to the world and as such, I've had dealt to me a large share of dysfunction. Now that I've had time to recompose myself its time to try all of this again. I'm simply looking for someone to share the light of new experiences; something that is meaningful to both sides, someone who can tolerate my .... interesting family and my outlandish ways of thinking. Maybe I'm being too picky... who knows? Please, no cheaters, no mind games, no more dysfunction. If you can't deal with the fact that I would gladly hold a door open for you (I'm serious, I have a story about how this went horribly wrong), I apologize, but it probably isn't going to work out. I'm a sucker for a tough story and am loyal 110%, but don't mistake that for weakness. Throwing your arms up and walking away is cowardly, so whatever the universe puts against you.. I won't be far behind you.

If you've read up to this point, you might as well send me a message. I have a rule that if someone takes the time to write to me, I'll make the time to respond.... unless you're a 'bot' (I have a story about this too!).

Currently I'm a teacher (in training), seeking out the final steps toward making everything official. I have a full-time job which involves all sorts of geeky awesomeness. A CNC Programmer/Middle Management/Everything under the sun position. Its rewarding, but my gosh, I work with such animated Characters. :P LOL Man, I've got stories to tell. In any case, I'm saving money to push myself into the next phase of my life. On top of EVERYTHING, every night I TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD with my lab partner, Pinky. :)

I believe that nothing is impossible when your believe in a cause that is greater than yourself. This means that if you have a goal in life, you've got a life-long ally in me. I'm known as someone that is quite serious about helping people get to where they ought to be in life... no matter the cost. I guess that's the Pisces in me taking over.

Aside from all that, I'm great at making people laugh, I'm really handy with computers and video games (I was the Nintendo Power Play Champion! ADORE ME!), and delivering inspirational, epic, rallying speeches!

I tend to be very quiet at first. I'm taking it all in, observing people, and scoping out the nearest exits in case there are random axe murderers lurking about (I've got a story for that too! That's right, its like I'm a writer for How I Met Your Mother :P). Basically, I'm shy at first, but as with everyone else, I flourish in quirky bouts of hilarity. :)

I studied literature in University (among other things), so I've gained an appreciation for the English Canon. Books/Authors I enjoy are: Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Canticle for Leibowitz, Wide Sargasso Sea, The Death of Literature, Maus (its a graphic novel!), The Illiad, Homer's Odyssey, Tarzan of the Apes (shut it!), Paradise Lost, The Woman and the Ape, The Monk, Monkey Beach (see a theme developing?), Cat's Cradle, Jude the Obscure, Gulliver's Travels, Great Expectations, The Lathe of Heaven, Fall on Your Knees, The Kappa Child; William Blake is one of my favourite poets, followed by Keats, Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge.

Movies are a wonderful way to pass the time: Anything with Adam Sandler. He has a repetitive formula, but it works for me. Clerks, Star Wars, Hitch, Groundhog Day (ask me about that one, I dare you), Office Space, The Lion King, King Kong, Star Trek, Short Circuit I & II, Horton Hears a Who! (I AM HORTON!)

Television: Cheaters (this show is kinda sad to watch, but its still hillarious!), Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Futurama, American Dad, Gundam series, Deep Space Nine, Transformers ALL GENERATIONS. Anime of all types appeals to me greatly.

Music: I feel like Chuck Norris when I say this, but I MAKE my own music

Food: Meat.

I'm going to write this as it comes to me so you can get a general idea.....

"The Moth wants a star,
The Night wants tomorrow,
The King wants what's far
Outside his sphere of Sorrow."

The way this universe all seems to fit together in a most awkward way. Why some people can coast through life without much regard for responsibility, or the hardships of life..... while others struggle to scrape and claw themselves out from the bottom of the deepest chasms.

I think about how they get the caramel in the Caramilk bar. I have a dozen theories and I'm sure one of them must be close.

I think about the future and I wish that Star Trek was real :P Geeze, if I went into every random thought that came to mind while constructing this profile, I'd.... OH! OH! Tiny Tom Donuts! *phew* that mini factory stuff is pretty amazing eh? *raises an eyebrow* ..... I should stop writing in this section before it gets out of hand. :D Honestly, if you want to probe my mind, you should just try messaging me. OH! OH! WAIT! I also spend a lot of time thinking about how I would change the world if I won the lottery. :P

BBQing up a storm, randomly going on shopping adventures to Walmart, Shoppers or Sobey's, watching movies at home (we have the technology!), playing video games *shrug* Nothing fancy. Oh, and I do catch up on my Conspiracy Theories & Ancient Aliens! Don't judge, the truth is out there, and Jesse Ventura or the dude with the really wild hair and spray tan is there to uncover it! (Kudos if you know what I'm talking about. If not, ask!)

It wouldn't be private if I admitted it on a public forum, now wold it? I'm excellent at keeping secrets. ... Sometimes a bit too excellent :S

"The loyal heart has hidden treasures in secrets kept and in silence sealed."

You want me to start to find out how awesome you really are. :)

If you send me a message as profound or brief as you'd like, I may shock and amaze you with something that is genuine. :) I'm easy to talk to and get along with. :) In other words, I'm a 'nice guy' who fully embraces it. Truly, if you take the time to write to me, I'll make the time to write back.

I wish you all the best of luck,
