Welcome to my profile. I'm an OKCupid Success Story. I was found by the most wonderful woman in the world, who no longer has a profile on this site...never really thought it would happen, but I'm married to her. We have our first child...and God used this site to bring us together. Thank you, God...and thank you OKCupid.

This is the profile she fell in love with.

My name is Andrew...and just to warn you, most people are nervous around me. People act extremely overconfident, extremely withdrawn, or extremely defensive...or they come up with a mix of the three...when I'm around...the first makes me laugh...the second makes me reach out...the third pisses me off.

I'm overly excited that the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES are the WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

If you'd like to hear my voice...go to www.blowinsmokepodcast.com and listen...I've been on #66-70 and more to come.

And now...a poem

Choosing a Wife by a Pipe of Tobacco ------------------------------------------ Tube, I love the as my life By thee I mean to choose a wife Tube, thy colour let me find In her skin and in her mind. Let her have a shape as fine; Let her breath be sweet as thine; Let her in some smoke or other, All my failings kindly smother. Often, when my thoughts are low, Send them where they ought to go. When to study I incline Let her aid be such as thine: Such as thine the charming pow'r In the vacant social hour. Let her live to give delight Ever warm and ever bright: Let her deeds, whene'er she dies, Mount as incense to the skies

- Anonymous, The Gentleman's Magazine Vol. XXVI, 1757.

Yes, I smoke a pipe and cigars. I enjoy a good cigar. Tobacco is not my enemy...only crappy tobacco is.

Let's see...I've been through a lot...and all the shit that's happened to me is my fault. Now, let's get something out of the way. That's not me being self pitiful. I wasn't abused by my parents, or molested by a priest, and blaming myself. This is me taking responsibility for the things I've done that put me through a lot. I'm being legitimate here. My family, my churches, my God...they've all helped me in so many ways. I just know that I am nothing by myself, but in Yahweh, I have all I need.

Yes, I'm big on God but that doesn't mean I'm a prude by any means. I just know who made me what I am today. As I've said, I've done too much to be prude...and I'm not going to be shocked by anything you say. I don't believe I've gone through worse than everyone...but I'm on a level that means I can relate to different people more than most Christians, and give opinions if asked for.

I still apparently need to work on my people skills. I'm naturally very socially awkward; it's taken some time to get to the point where I can function. I also I use too much profanity...gotta cut that out.

Girls I get close to, even partially romantically, tend to be the kind that aren't willing to work through relationship problems...they just cut their losses and head for the hills. I'm too stubborn to allow something to fail easily...especially something as important as a relationship. I want and need someone who will fight alongside me to keep it going.

Girls I get close to also tend to think that subtle hints are the best way to communicate what you want to a guy. I can't read your mind. I can't read your body language. I can't always do it right. Tell me the truth...be honest and open...be patient with me...and I will be with you. I can take time to hear your stories, but tell me when what I do is hurting you...and some day tell me why.

I grew up in and around Philadelphia. My parents and sister live on Long Island...and I either live with them, or with my uncle and aunt in Abington, outside of Philly.

I go to Grove City College...I'm a Senior. The campus gets very boring...so I either leave or liven it up.

I listen

I get addicted to video games when I have a system, which is why I won't until I'm already settled into a job...and even then, maybe not.

I'm into ska music. Pro-Wrestling is fun for me. Law & Order is a very good show...especially the SVU spin off...though I do enjoy the original as well.

Everyone in the world is hurt the most by people they love. I believe it's wrong, therefore, to keep someone at arms length simply because you don't want to hurt them. If you don't want them to hurt you, that's your own problem...but if they want to open themselves up to you, and are actually willing to forgive you if you hurt them, then there's something special there. Don't pass it up.

I believe that every girl would benefit from a man who cares about her enough to give her a good, solid spanking,on the bare, when he deems appropriate. No, I don't expect most people to agree with me on that. I just know what I want, and I hope to find someone who can give me that, and will want what I have to give. I believe God will provide that for me. In my life, I'm a dominant man, and I'm looking for a subby, possibly somewhat of a brat, who needs what I have to give. I'm not mean...not overly reactive...and I don't put up with disrespect...so I do my best to earn the respect I desire and demand.

I hate my pride...it sucks...immensely...and I fight it...and it sucks. I need someone who will support me in my Godly battle against my pride.

I'm also a big family man. I believe solid families are the building block of a great society.

I can find beauty in most body types...just gotta impress me when we talk...

...and any talk of suicide will earn you a belting. Bad connotations.

I'd like to be Shohei Baba...and if you know who that is, please contact me. Thank you.

Apparently, for a chubby dude...I'm pretty good looking...but maybe that's a combination of arrogance and flattery. Of course, my friend Paul says that I'm a fat mess.

And people say that updating profiles is a good thing to do consistantly. Said people amuse me.

I've been called the, "hot dom guy." I found that funny.

Go Phillies!!!!

I like to go to a barber and get a professional shave with a straight-razor, complete with towel treatment, hot lather, and that vibrating face massager. It's heaven...it's a spa treatment for men, costs a lot less, and makes you feel so fresh...so clean.

Devotion, Love, Trust, Honesty: Those are the most beautiful things in the world to me.

I am unique, strong, and trustworthy.

I'm serving my Lord...he's called me to assist with a church plant here in Grove City Pennsylvania.

I'm very much in love with a young woman named Janette...she is amazing...thank you OKC.

I'm a Business Management major at Grove City College. GCC is tiring, and, while I like it here, it's hard to fit the, "grover," mentality when you're me...and I'm glad about that.

I love life.

I know how to love.

I might be getting a small business grant when I graduate...that would be pretty cool.

Rest in Peace: Lords Tobacco

Listening, giving advice, being a friend, sticking to my guns and dominating, taking care of people, learning things. I write...people tell me I'm pretty good at writing. I've also been told I mentally dominate people...and can have a knack for video games.

My often unshaven face, my loud persona, my smile, and that I'm a bigger guy. It used to be my hair...but I've cut that...look good? I've often been told I seem Angry. I'm normally not...and I apologize for appearing that way. I've also been given random adjectives from, "prickly," to, "asshole," to, "big teddy bear," based on first impressions...and they're all correct.

I need a haircut again apparently.

a. The Bible, any book by C.S. Lewis, How to Win Friends and Influence People...dammit, just give me a book. I enjoyed the Harry Potter Series too...but meh, so it goes

b. Office Space, Ferris Buhler's Day off, The Sting, Secretary, UHF, Any Monty Python Movie or Show, Adam Sandler Movies, Johnny Depp Movies, Samuel L. Jackson movies, Denzel Washington Movies, Matthew Broderick...but my all time favorite movie would have to The Shawshank Redemption

c. Ska, Ska, Ska, Ska, Did I mention Ska? Knock knock, who's there? Ska, but I'm also into classic rock, punk, Jazz, Some Alternative, Good Metal, Classical, even some oldies...not huge into country though...but some of it is good. I indluge in music the way my belly indulges in food: keeping it in there, right at the forefront.

d. I'm a food specialist...I specialize in eating food...and knowing good food. I can often tell what spices are used. They say I should be a food critic. Go me.

My God, My Family, My Friends, My Personality, Love, Naughty bottoms to spank.

God is great, and he blesses me greatly.
Janette...I want her here...
The 2008 WORLD CHAMPION PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!
Why do people lie to me? It never helps their situation.
Why does God show me the good things at the end of the tunnel, and yet not what's going on in the tunnel?
How does God convince me to trust him every time?
Why am I so stubborn?
Why am I so proud?
Why is my heart so confused?
Hooray for God's forgiveness~!

Either studying ...chillin with friends, in our out...or watching WWE wrestling although, recently I've been enjoying TNA Wrestling a bit more.

Lords Tobacco is fun for Poker Nights while I'm at school...but it's closed.

I'm a nutcase...anything else, just ask.

Well, I'm not looking...so if you want good conversation, sure message me...but it doesn't look like I'll be looking again. So please only contact me if you're looking for a friend, or someone to talk to late nights.
