first off let me say that i work a lot and im coming fresh from a
very serious relationship so "serious" is not on my list of
priorities at this point. i am incredibly driven in all things,
work included and i will do whatever it takes to accomplish my
goals. so between working, being in the ambassador council for the
elkhart chamber of commerce, teaching work force readiness to low
income high school students targeted as unlikely to go to college,
sitting on an exam board for a local college, coordinating local
resources for hannah's house, assisting iraqi refugees find work
and assimilate into american life in conjunction with the red
cross, writing my book, coaching professionals on matters of
business, spiritual balance or personal matters, speaking at
events, spending time with my daughter and trying to fit in the
occasional work out, i am a busy guy. i will say this though to any
potential matches out there, my down time is precious to me. it
should be down time, not "throw down" time so if youre the type who
still likes to go out to the clubs on the weekend to drink like a
frat boy then we are ill matched for each other. its nothing
personal i can just think of many fun things that i would rather do
than get trashed. so dont let the pictures of me with alcohol fool
you, i can drink, i do drink, i just choose not to make it an all
out wild night.
now that my preface is out of the way for those still reading here is what you should know about me. i am a fast mover and a decision maker, i see something and i go for it (this includes relationships). i have tried many times to slow myself down, to look before i leap but ive found that its just not in my nature and doing so only serves to limit my fullest potential. i am passionate and intense in a way most people cant understand and until you meet me or have met someone like me (probably another scorpio) then you likely never will fully grasp the difference. ideally i would like to find someone similar in these regards or at least someone who is willing to throw caution to the wind and try doing it this way with me just once. you never know, you may like it. when i meet someone i feel as though there is an inherent momentum. its faster for some than others but trying to slow or even stop that momentum because of preconceived notions beaten into our psyche by society or dogmatic religious principles that dont fully explain the context from which those "rules" stem, seems silly and futile to me. i dont think you can or should resist the natural flow of a connection with someone. just go with the flow and enjoy wherever the ride takes you.
im tall and goofy. i utterly refuse to use capital letters when typing because i use all caps when i write by hand so i figure that balances everything out somehow. i have a 11 year old daughter, kaitlyn, that is my whole world. i have 6 tattoos and absolutely no rhythm. i was medically discharged from the army after a little over 6 years. im addicted to movies. i was a late bloomer and i still see myself as the fat kid sometimes. i tell it like it is and dont sugar coat the truth. im funny in a three stooges/jerry lewis sort of way. every now and then theres a flicker of wit but its about as rare as haleys comet. people tell me that i give too much sometimes and others say that i can be mysterious almost to a flaw. im hurt easily if i feel passionately about something. i have that weird scorpio juju. i love to eat but im also very big on fitness. i have a terrible sweet tooth so running for me is a must.
those who take the time to get to know me will find a normal guy with hopes, dreams, insecurities and faults just like everyone else, yet at the same time i have something to offer that no one else does.
*in honor of all of the profiles i see on here with quotes, i figured i would add some to my page. one is my favorite quote of all time and the other is one of my own design*
"love is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it but only you know how warm it feels."
"laugh and the world laughs with you, but fart in a confined public space just once and suddenly youre the bad guy."
one final note since this seems to be an issue so far. im looking for someone local. im not looking for someone that i will only see for a few hours every other weekend. if you live farther than roughly 35 miles in any direction then it simply wont work. i work monday-sunday from 3 am to 6 am and monday-friday 8 am-5 pm. thats my schedule at its best. it will only get worse on any given week not better. so in order to see someone more than twice a month you need to be close and have a reasonably open schedule. you may be looking for something sporadic but i am not.
