It's difficult to stand back & look at yourself, then try to explain to the world what you are like. I would have to say that I don't "go out with the guys" or sit around & watch sports all day, but I do watch a few episodes of CSI LasVegas, or StormChasers.
I don't drink, never done drugs, no tattoos, no body piercings, never been in trouble with the law, love to mountain bike and go for walks. I've got a good job, a great place to live, and a nice car to get back home in.

The pictures you see are from my recent vacation at Virginia Beach, Yorktown & Norfolk. I would love to go back & do it again!

By the way, where it states the smoking part in "The Skinny" to the right, I wish there were choices of what type of smoking it was. I smoke wild cherry mini cigars and sometimes a pipe. I haven't touched a cigarette in years because they stink even to me.

Nothing more than working for a living, keeping the roof over my head, and keeping the bills paid. Everything I have is paid for, so no credit card bills, or car payments. I've graduated from high school and had a slew of college courses many years ago (with credits) through F.E.M.A., so no immediate plans for additional schooling.

I also have a bucket list. That's things I want to do, or places to travel, or things I want to accomplish before I kick the bucket. I've already fulfilled several, but I have many to go. One of them include taking a train ride. Not just an ordinary train ride, but a steam train ride for a day to nowhere in particular, so long as it's a old time steamer.

Computers & electronics, networking and tech support. And I'm a good cook too. Not just throwing something in the microwave and calling it dinner, but making something from scratch or something pre-packaged. Most of the food we get these days are pre-packaged, so that counts too.

I have the ability to tell a lot about a person, in what they say & how they say it, in their first three sentences, even though I don't know them. It's easy to read body language, & that speaks louder than words.

My thinning hair. (Mother Natures' cruel joke) But I kid people with the response of "It's a solar panel for a love machine" which makes them laugh. :) Hey, I can thank my family heritage for that.

But one other trait that I have that strangers ask me all the time, is if I've ever worked radio or television before. They tell me I've got "that voice" for it. I guess so, but I won't argue. They say it's smooth & very easy to listen to.

Favorite movies & TV are: The Matrix, The Blues Brothers, Any Steven Segal movies, The Lawnmower Man, X-Men, Gothica, Caprica, the newer 007 films with Pierce Brosnan, Men in Black, xXx, Firefly series (WHY did it go away???) or Serenity (love it!!), Dollhouse & of course...the newer Star Trek films. Anything Sci-Fi I'm into. Too many more to list them all, but believe it or not, I like a good romantic comedy too. Mystic Pizza, The Lakehouse, What Women Want, & The Truth About Cats & Dogs for example. The last one is hard to find, but if you do find it...RENT it. You'll love it!

Not really into reading books, but I would consider myself a newshound. I read the world news online daily to know what's going on in other parts of the world, but at times, I have no idea what's going on locally. Guess that's what a newspaper is for, huh?

Music...anything BUT country. I'm more of an alternative rock person...Green Day, Evanescence, P.O.D., Chevelle, Linkin Park, but I also like smooth jazz, and classic Rock-n-Roll...AC/DC, John Cougar Mellencamp, Firehouse, Joan Jett, Kiss, Billy Idol, & Thomas Dolby to name a few. Today's hits just don't appeal to me like they used to, but classical will do just fine. Sure, I like to occasionally "bump the bass" in the car too, but I don't have a thousand wrapped up in it either like some people do.

Now, if any woman can make my favorite food just the way I like it, I'm putty in their hands. Many have tried, none have succeeded. If you can make chicken & egg noodles on top of lumpy mashed potatoes just the way I like it, I'm yours! But if you can't...oh, the honeymoon's over! j/k ;) It's not a deal breaker for me, but I am a good cook too. Not just throwing something in the microwave & calling it dinner...but made from scratch dinner. Some of the best cooks & chefs in the world are men, so it's not difficult to prepare something truly tasty and good. But I love Chinese, Cantonese, and Italian food. They are awesome! Unfortunately, I can't make those very well, so I go to my favorite Chinese restaurant & they know what I want...General Tso's Chicken SPICY! Or at Olive Garden, I'll get the Chicken Primavera with Fetticini Alfredo.

Love, laughter & good company (all in the same package)
My Vaio
My BlackBerry
My kitty (jet black with gold eyes)
My Grand Am
& surprisingly enough, good neighbors!

Philosophical things in life. For example, if it's raining cats & dogs, why does it not hail cat & dog food? Or if you lose your wallet somewhere, WHY do your friends always ask you "Where did you lose it at"? Um...DUH! It's behind the couch, but I'm not gonna look there! Maybe even stupid commercials on TV that get to me. It's the ones where they make a claim that's so obvious...it's obvious, but they play us for dumb people without a lick of street smarts and succumb to their ridiculous claims. Like the one that claims that "approximately three out of four people being treated for depression, still have depression symptoms". Well...DUH on that one too! Of course they're still being treated...they still have symptoms. Would your doctor treat you for something you don't have? I think not, so your pill is not better than the rest out there.

Another thing is online tech support. I'm a Forum Advisor on a tech website where people ask questions about their computer, their network, software & the likes. It's a bit challenging to fix a problem where the user doesn't even know where their mouse plugs in at to begin with, let alone walk them through step by step to solve the problem (yes, it's happened). They complain about their computer not "working like it used to", so I have them run a utility...& it shows up that they've been surfing porn or gambling sites. I pretty much give up right there, because after fixing it, you KNOW they're gonna go back & do it again. Those two places to go are the worst virus honeypots there are on the web. It's a guarantee to get infected!

At home, usually watching CSI Las Vegas, Dirty Jobs, Stormchasers, or just cruising the net with my laptop in search of news. I may go out and rent a movie or two for the weekend. There's no "nightlife" in this city other than bars, but I don't drink, so I typically stay home with my home theatre & a movie or two. I would just want to go out on a "fun" date for once of bowling or ice skating or maybe even a walk in the park after dark, or even a walk the canal at Indy...I'm up for ideas. Got any??
People tell me all the time to go out & meet someone. Like I just said, there's nothing more than bars here. In the years I've tried that, there's three types of people at bars. There's the drinkers, the players, and the group of women that go out to just have fun, but not meet anyone. That's why I stay home. A place like this is ideal to meet someone because they are looking for the same thing that I am. That's what it was made for. A bar is made for drinking, not meeting someone you'd consider being with.

Oh here? Well, I like to stir my ice cream in the bowl until it's soft, I burn candles at home just because I like the smell of them, & I have a regulation Star Fleet DS9 uniform.

I love a good thrill too. I'll jump out of a perfectly good airplane, or make that jump off a high cliff into the water below, or take that roller coaster ride that nobody dares. In one of my pictures, you see me para sailing...doesn't that tell you something? ;)

Since you've obviously read the entire profile (& I congratulate you), this is what I've got to say. If you honestly think that I am a man of my word, when I say that I am NOT the typical man. Meaning that I don't stare at a woman's chest while I talk to them, or make sexist comments about their body & such. Those kind of comments are for teenage boys. I am an old-fashioned man with Christian values & that will never change. I believe in the older days of chivalry. Yes, there ARE a few men out there in the world like me. We are always overlooked because we don't stand out in a crowd & get noticed. On a final note...I treat a lady as she deserves to be treated...like a lady, not just a woman. There IS a difference, but do YOU know what that difference is?? Just be real & don't play me, because I'm in this for the long haul. In other words, I'm ready for the perfect lady in my life. If you're real & genuine & want to know what life is like with a man who actually knows what he wants in life, send me a message. I don't play mind games, never cheated, not a drinker, never been arrested, & I'm always up to trying new things (within reason). So if you're clean & drug free & always will be, I'll listen to you.
