Dating is the proverbial equivalent of trying to ride a bicycle with flat tires across a heavily mined field while drunk and blindfolded
Figured I’d start with some Dating Philosophy, and follow it up with some poerty…

There once was a man from Regina, who loved the feel of…
Never-mind :P

About Me
Where to start, where to start...
Hi, my name is Alex, and I’m a Rage-A-Holic. I just can’t live without my Rageahol...

Fine then, reality; to sum myself up quickly:
I'm an outgoing individual. I'm loud. My mind goes a mile a minute and I jump from subject to subject. I’m fidgety. I’m a case of extremes; you’ll either like me, or you’ll find me completely intolerable. I'm a good guy, just not a nice one. I'm socially Liberal. I'm fiscally Conservative. I’m sarcastic, I’m witty and I’m full of bad jokes. I’m probably too smart for my own good, but socially I’ll never let it on. I am a walking encyclopedia of useless information. I read and edit Wikipedia because I think it’s the greatest tool ever created by man. I’m vain, I can be arrogant, but I am in no way self absorbed. I volunteer in my community, & I am always willing to make a fool of myself, especially for a good cause. I like almost all music, with the exception of rap, what passes as R&B now days, and country music, unless played backwards (That way the guys' wife comes back, his dog lives, his horse can run and his truck ain't broke no more) I like to read when given the time. Favorites include Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, The Lord of the Rings series, Kerouac’s On the Road, Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye and Douglas’s Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy double Trilogy.

RESTRICTIONS
Ladies, should your profile have some type of restriction listed:
(I.E.: Must not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters or sex...)
I urge you to realize that those of us who've been using the same POF account for a lengthy period of time may have had different objectives while using the site at different times. If, however, you insist on trying to eliminate the threat of contact from the scum-buckets of the world with one mighty swing of a proverbial broad-sword, go ahead; Throw the baby out with the bath water. To limit your options because of what someone was seeking in their past is nobody's loss but your own. I personally will maintain my belief in a person’s ability to seek and obtain redemption, and I will continue to seek out OPEN MINDED people...

Wait! I have a restriction of my own…
MUST NOT BE VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, NOR A SUPPORTER OF P.E.T.A.

ADDENDUM
I’ve come to the realization that the more we age, the less we want to be wasting time exploring dead ends or learning that the other person’s flaws are intolerable. In the hopes of saving us all some time, I’ve decided to go in flaws first, and work backward from there. No guarantee this will work, but at least I won't be accused of hiding my true cross-dressing nature… Up to you to find out if that’s true… :P

*WARNING* – KEY FLAWS LISTED BELOW:
I HAVE KIDS Plural. As in more than one, and not with the same mother. Full custody of the eldest, shared of the youngest
I DRIVE A MINI-VAN One day someone will believe it’s a Sports Car Mini-van…
I DON’T LIVE ALONE Apart from the kids. In a nutshell, paying a mortgage & rent kills
I WATCH HOCKEY Not every game… but you will be a Play-off Widow
I HAVE BEEN KNOW TO FISH Excuse to drink, do nothing, and hang with Buddies
I HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HUNT Excuse to drink, do nothing, and hang with Buddies
I HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CAMP Excuse to drink, do nothing, and hang with Buddies
I DO NOT HAVE A 6-PACK Returned it for the deposit long ago. Now a mini keg :P
I HAVE GAS Just not in my van…
I HAVE ADHD Personality doesn’t show that at all now, does it? :P
& I AM A GEEK Big one. Not a Trekkie. Even worse; I'm a Who-vian. Ask and I may even explain

SECOND ADDENDUM
If by now you are not laughing, either something is wrong with my humour, or something is wrong with you. Hopefully you have been able to come to the conclusion that much sarcasm and humour is embedded within this profile. If not, please realize that I am a Goy making the following statement: Oy Vay!

In short: Lighten up People!

A flight to Paris to sip wine at the peak of the Eiffel tower, followed by a leisurely walk hand and hand through the Arc de Triomphe, followed by a romantic diner at the Ritz... But only as long as you're paying!

Just Kidding! We'd come back to my place to sit in silence, you petting my sixty stray cats while I show off my rusty Chainsaw and 70's Goalie Mask...

In all seriousness, this is the net. How do you know my pictures aren't of someone else and vice versa? You don't. So generally, meet over coffee or a drink, and go from there. Where exactly it leads to can vary drastically, so whatever the case may be we start with no expectations and we play it by ear. If there is sparks then we'll take it from there.
