I've recently discovered the joy that there is in life. Which makes me feel like a complete idiot for not figuring it out before. I'm a little tired of the way I usually do these things so I am going to mix it up.

Lets start off with some of the bad points just so you don't start thinking I'm perfect. When I'm in a bad mood I suck but I don't let that happen often. I can be very impatient and I'm working on it, but it is so annoying how long it's taking. At times I can be overly affectionate. I hate it when I try to do a lot to make someones day better time and time again and they never return the favor. I hate how I have always ended up caring for the other person more than they ended up caring about me. I know that this its a turn on for a woman to have the guy just pretend to care, be honest. But sorry ladies I really like the way I am and will change for no one. Ok, so that is the worst of it, I'm not perfect and I'm not looking for perfect. Plus my good traits list is like five times longer. The only catch is you have to figure that one out for yourself.

When I am in a relationship I put everything into it and I'm not just using that as a nice statement. Like when I say that I am also here to meet friends, I ACTUALLY MEAN THAT I am here to meet friends as well. I have too, some very incredible ones. So when I say I give everything I mean it. Say your sick I will baby you until you get better. Cooking, cleaning, getting a cold wash cloth, midnight trips to the drug store, whatever it takes to take care of someone I love. Speaking of which I have a three year old son who is the most important thing in my life. I am a very strong believer in family and keep very close with my parents.

Other than that I am a fun loving laid back guy.

Other interest to include: playing army, biking, shooting pool, swimming, darts, cuddling, playing guitar, going to the park, the beach, cherry limeades, cooking, cooking, cooking, laughing my ass off, learning the guitar, stand-up comedy, to be continued...

Well things are going really great right now. I have an incredible son. I have a good job. I am having the time of my life with some great friends. and things are just getting better.

I have a great job working for the department of defense. It great because I like to fix things and I repair sensitive and expensive electronics. I am a little bit of a (former) computer nerd.

Long term goals include returning to school to finish up my degree in business management and starting my own business.

Making someone laugh and feel comfortable. I have been told that I have a personality that puts people at ease. If I am with the right person I can have them laughing the whole time.

I consider myself to be a great at ,among other things, cooking. The trick is whether or not I can get your tongue to agree with me.

I love striking up conversations with complete strangers. This is a new thing to me as I grew up an introvert but now I have sling shot myself to the other side. Recently I was at Rush Street with some friends. We sat down to get some pizza and started talking to the waitress. She was awesome and after taking with her for almost 30 min she brings her BF over who is a bouncer there. Turned out to be a great night despite not finding a girl to dance with.

Another time it scored me some free McFrappes at McDonalds. I dont know why but I love those damn drinks so much I hate them. I always get brain freeze no matter what, but they are so good.

I really wouldn't know but people seem to be friendly to me when I meet them so whatever they notice they must like.

A lot of my reading is magazines on business, technology, science, political science, and gadgets and doodads.

I have watched hundreds of movies and TV shows while in Iraq. I'm not saying that I don't like TV or movies but they are as not as important as they used to be.

I love to cook and I cook all kinds of wonderful crazy things.

Music is food for my soul. I can spend hours just driving with the windows down and the radio up. I listen to a wide variety but am most at home in the alternative genre.

My son
My family
My friends
Food
Water
Shelter

Used to spend to much time thinking and not enough time living. There was a movie that put it best. "You know what your problem is? Your all brains... not enough cock and balls!"

I don't think I have that problem anymore. Damn it there I go thinking again.

Well I haven't had a typical Friday night yet so I let you know when I do.

I dabbled a little as a player when I was younger. Funny thing is it wasn't for me. My conscience just wouldn't shut up. I can say that it was the dumbest way to find out that I actually cared about girls feelings. If you need a guy to lie to you and not care about you to get your attention then I can without a doubt say that I am not the man for you. To all the women out there that I have hurt, I'm am truly sorry.

Your not afraid of new possibilities.

I want to say thanks to all who respond. Sure most of the time I won't even get a response and most of those responses will be the only one. But it does not bother me much because I have met some great people so far. Made some INCREDIBLE friends and had INCREDIBLE times. I have been to an arcade and won so many tickets that at 25yo the experience ranked in the top five of my all time favorite childhood memories. I've walked in the waves on a moonlit night. I have come up with strange and wonderful drink and candy combinations. I have laughed so hard that my sides hurt for days. I have been to parties and made new and awesome friends. Most importantly I realized that although I have not found what I wanted, what I needed found me and all it took was an open mind.
