My Self-Summary

well, what to say about myself ? i could quote popeye
"i yam what i yam" but i'm not a sailor man. or i could describe myself with a lot of positive adjectives, that really don't do the job. what i see of me is not what you will see. so i'll say this. i treat people the way i wish to be treated, with courtesy, and respect. if that doesn't work, then i become a mirror,and i treat people the way they treat me.but i always start with respect.i like adventure, spontaneity, and new experiences. i just lost my lady of 16 years to cancer, and i'm looking to move on with my life, one step at a time. i grew up on a farm outside of wolf lake. i was a tanker in the army in the eighties, and lived in germany for a while, europe is cool, if you can, go. INFP personality type, the test said that only 1% of people are this type, so i guess i'm fairly rare. who knew?

What I’m doing with my life

drifting on the ocean of life, keeping my head above water. trying to decide whether to go back to school, or spend a couple of years donating my time/ knowledge rebuilding houses on the gulf. possibly travel to the northeast and find a free sailboat to fix, and sail to the Caribbean. i guess i'm standing at a crossroads in life and looking for a coin to flip, anyone got a six, no a seven sided coin? does my path lead to you?

I’m really good at

fixing things. all sorts of things. i'm also pretty good at being happy.(hint, it's all in your point of view.) i'm also good at seeing all sides of a problem, which doesn't always please everyone,(how can you take their side?) but that's life.

The first things people usually notice about me

my long hair, i have a lot of it. the second is that i'm smarter than they thought. lucky me. i'm not sure if it is good, or bad.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

i love to read, and have read a lot of books about everything from philosophy, to how to build a sailboat. my favorites are tolkien, the discworld books, piers anthony, basicly sci-fi/ fantasy. as far as movies go, i like action, sci-fi, horror, comedies, and cartoons i think it is more fun to watch them at home where you can get comfortable. i like video games, mostly RPGs, or shooter. i listen to rock, metal, folk, bluegrass, and on the rare occasion, classical. my favorites are led zeppelin, pearl jam, ac-dc, crosby,stills,and nash, simon and garfunkle, black sabbath, beck, rage against the machine. i'm a carnivore, so meat and potatoes are a given. beyond that, i'm not the most adventurous with food.

The six things I could never do without

air, food, water,family,and my friends.and maybe someone to play with, do you wanna play? i thought about it some more, and the reason that i didn't put down more, is because at some time in my life i have done without almost everything but my life. when you have lost everything, what really matters comes sharply into focus. stuff is just stuff, and can be replaced. a list of six things that i touch every day would be, my tools, mt. dew, my computer, my truck, my glasses( i don't like contacts), wake and bake;)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

umm... ahh.... i'll have to think about that one. ok, i thought about, it and mostly i think about what i'm doing at the time. i try to live in the now, the past only exists as learning experiences, and the future may never come. you cannot live in the the past, or the future, so to dwell on either is bad. "the true path to happiness lies in the middle way." Buddha.

On a typical Friday night I am

at home watching ghost whisperer. if you can think of something better, let me know!

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

i spent my 20's trying everything, and i mean everything! plus, i'm the only one i know who can have a three sided argument in side their head and still lose.

You should message me if

if you are looking for someone to have fun with, if you are looking for an equal, a foil for your wit, and many other adjectives that i can't think of right now. don't, if your a control freak, or uptight, or a party pooper. life is too short to hang out with people who make you miserable.
