I am at a very busy point in my life, and a lot of big pieces are moving around right now, mostly positive changes. It's pretty exciting but at the same time it can be scary and overwhelming. I've been told I'm a good guy, but it seems to me the proverbial bar isn't being set very high these days, if you know what I mean. I'm not very outgoing, but I've never heard anyone describe themself as "in-staying". If that's a word, it describes me haha.

I spend a lot of time (to be as general as possible) fulfilling my purpose in life and helping other people who are like me. I'm a single father raising two girls, they are 5 and 7. I work for an optical retailer as a Lab Manager. I plan on going back to school within the next 2 or 3 years to finish a degree in Spanish. If you don't know what someone does with a Language Arts degree, don't worry...I really don't know either haha!

high-fives, waiting, being quiet, Euchre, being loud, spouting off useless information...also, thumb wrestling. I make a mean cup of tea too :)

As my back was turned...(true story)...

Old Lady: (whispering) "He's skinny, isn't he?"
Husband: "Huh?"
Old Lady: (a little louder) "I said, he's skinny."
Husband: "HUH?"
Old Lady: "Oh, nevermind!"
Husband: "HUH?!"

"Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing...Embrace this moment; remember, we are eternal. All this pain is an illusion." -Tool (Parabola)

getting together with a bunch of my friends and drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and playing Settlers of Catan.

When I was 16, I named my first car Jean-Claude Grand Am.

you do not have some form of booze in your "Six things I could never do without" section. Also if it bothers you that okcupid doesn't put two spaces after a period between sentences.
