OK....I have to be honest. Writing is not one of my strong points.....especially when it comes to writing about myself. I think one of the silly tests lured me here.....

I am a daddy of one amazing little guy, separated but not divorced.... yet. So not technically single, but don't let that scare you away too quickly.... I feel pretty single.... and the legal status part of it will come in time. In the mean time, lets be friends and get to know each other. I want to find some good people to hang out and just be myself with.... and with some luck, I hope to find a really special friendship that has the potential to grown into something more.

Living it.... its day to day at this point. To be honest, some are good; some are not so good.... but I'm trying to have more good ones than bad ones. My job is good (employed full time, thankfully) and keeps me busy. Spending time with my son is good. Other than that, I really don't know right now. I know that I have some healing to do in dealing with the fallout of my marriage.... some self-exploration sort of stuff. I honestly cannot tell where my life will be in a year....heck, even 6 months. I thought that by age 34, I would have it all figured out....but I don't. What I DO know is that I'm going to be a better person at the end of all of this. One with a lot to offer someone who can be patient with me as I go through this process.... one who can be open and honest with me about anything and everything. It might even be you.....

Hmmm.... another toughy.... I feel that I'm pretty average at a lot of things. More of a jack-of-all-trades than an expert in any one field.

I am tall...not freakishly tall, but I suppose someone might notice that. Smile, sense of humor, eyes, are other things that come to mind. Though, I haven't been told recently....but I haven't asked either.....hmmm..... You're still reading my profile; what is it that YOU noticed about me?

Books: I like to read... unfortunately, I don't make time for it anymore. I usually like fiction, but not necessarily. I used to read anything by Tom Clancy, but its been a long time even for reading something of his. Lately its been self-help stuff about emotionally surviving a divorce....ugh...

Movies: Last one I saw was "Inglourious Bastards". Basically, if the story is solid, the acting good, and the cinematography is well thought out, I tend to like it....even sappy love stories or romantic comedies (been avoiding them lately though...just a lil' jaded). Lately I've been seeing anything that remotely resembles a comic book movie (Watchmen, The Dark Knight, Spiderman, Superman Returns, Star Trek, Transformers2) and historically that sort of thing too especially things that come in three's (the Matrix trilogy, the Star Wars trilogies, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Back to the Future trilogy, etc) But others too....

Music: I like it. Mostly mainstream stuff, but not necessarily. Rock/alt/pop usually, but again, not necessarily. Some Christian stuff too (as long as it doesn't suck). Things getting heavy rotation in my iPod right now are Coldplay, Kings of Leon, The Fray, Katy Perry, Linkin Park, and Foo Fighters. Also love KT Tunstall, Sheryl Crow, Weezer, Barenaked Ladies, Toad the Wet Sprocket, (I could just keep going here....)

Food: Again, I like it....period. American, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Greek, Indian, Japanese, and more.... not a big shellfish fan, but I will try just about anything once. I like to try to eat healthy when I can....but sometimes convenience wins.

Well, assuming things like air and water other sustenance are a given; in no particular order:
- my son (I know...he's not a "thing" but I really couldn't live without him)
- love (we ALL want to love and be loved)
- good coffee (which for me usually means NOT Starbucks)
- good wine
- my camera (Nikon D60, but looking to upgrade)
- music, I need music in my life

- My next trip/vacation. I love to travel and see new places.
- Finding lasting happiness in my life....not sure yet if that's even possible, but I want to try.
- Finding true love in my life, honest love....I'm trying to believe in that still, in spite of it all.
- How to be a better daddy to my boy.... really just trying to screw him up as little as possible.
- Learning more about myself and coming to an understanding of who I am and why I am the way I am (self-discovery kind of stuff).

I know.... lame.... boring.... but all true.

At home.... I have my son every other weekend so I am definitely home on those Friday nights. On the ones I don't have him, its not that I don't like to go out; I just don't have a lot of friends close by to do things with (part of why I'm on this site I guess).

Other things you might find me doing could include catching up on my emails or other reading, playing my guitar (I love my Taylor), or maybe playing a computer game or watching a dvd of some variety.... and any of the above is often done while enjoying a good glass of wine. Want to join me? I like to share....

I tend to be fairly private....but I open up pretty quickly if you make a sincere effort to get to know me....

But here is something kind of funny that most people would never guess about me: I took ballet for a couple years as a kid....from about age 4 to 6. Seriously. I was one of the "Lost Boys" in a ballet stage production of "Peter Pan" and got thrown around by pirates. HA!

If you see or read something you like, go ahead and shoot me a message. I may message you back if you have something INTERESTING to say. If you just *wink* at me or say "Hi", I might look at your profile, but unless I find something really profound there, I doubt I'll find the motivation to message you back. So come on, get creative. Make me notice you. I know you've got something good to say. You can do it. Come on... I'm waiting....

Still waiting.....get on it! :)
