So, OK Cupid wants me to expand my profile to over 500 words in order to get a higher profile completion percentage. I don't really understand how they can make that determination. I mean, if someone can truly express themselves in less than 500 words, then who are they to determine whether or not their profile is complete based on a quantitative measurement like that? It just seems to be too exact and controlled. Self-expression shouldn't be labeled by numbers or measurements or by any other standard-- it should be free and liberal without the barriers or restrictions of a nazi-like regimen that require an exact minimum of five hundred words. It is absolutely ridiculous-- or in a word; absurd. Again, this is only if you ask me..

But anyway, about me: I love music (I should since I play the guitar) and I love to sing. I love to swing dance and a little bit of salsa, but i'm not very good at the latter.

I enjoy eating sushi, so if you can't get past the raw fish, I may not be the guy for you. Of course, there are always alternatives to sushi at sushi restaurants. Also, I'm very ambitious and have a lot of goals for the future. I prefer to hang out with like-minded individuals. Does that mean I won't hang out with you? Not at all. I have friends from all over. Everyone adds their own flavor to the stew.

Expansion continued: holy crap!! i can't believe this... now OKC wants me to make it 1000 words. as if 500 words wasn't enough of a trial, i have to figure out what else to dump in here that would be at least mildly interesting enough or perhaps offensive enough to keep someone reading. Now, i know some people might look at this and think I'm just a huge complainer...

ok, maybe i do complain. but what's wrong with that? does that mean i let it ruin my life? not at all!! i just like to see things improve and you can't very well let things improve without stating an opinion of what is wrong to begin with. that's a part of life. if no one ever said to clean your room because it's a mess, you probably would have never developed that habit. (some of you probably haven't developed that habit anyway, but i digress.) My point is, Life is great if you let it be, but life can be better if you only begin to ask for what you want and not accept all as it is.

ok, well, i'm off to make pancakes!! ciao!!

update: I have reached 100%!! woohoo!!

Right now, I own two businesses and i'm trying to make those grow. I also do contract work for a company that will probably become government owned real soon if they aren't careful. As a single father, I'm working on providing the best possible life for my kids while spending as much time with them as possible.

dancing and playing music. i love to chat, too... get a glass of wine in me and it'll be impossible to get me to shut up!!

i'm very opinionated. While everyone has one, I tend to voice mine regularly. People also notice that i'm very sarcastic; which can be good or bad depending on the situation. Also, I like to dress nice. it doesn't matter if i'm going to a bar, club, or sea world... i just like to dress up. doesn't mean suit and tie, but something nice. I'm not the sweats and t-shirt guy.

Books: anything by Terry Brooks
Movies: 300 or something really cool graphics...
Music: Better Than Ezra, John Mayer, some random college bands no one has heard of...
