(1.) I like to cook food for people, because it is to hard to cook for just one..nudge nudge...I have a small group of friends and when we get together our activities range from brewing beer to sitting around playing/listening to music, to drawing in a sketch book.
(2.) I have been financially dependent since I left my parents house at 18, but I want to be a point where I love my job, it becomes my hobby and not my paycheck, and where I can take time to travel around whit out going bankrupt.
(3.) I have more than average energy, and it typically hits me at odd parts of the day, this is what I get for always having a second shift job. My primary mode of transportation is my bike, this also could contribute to my energy levels.
I am a pretty creative resourceful person, it comes from the teachings of my grandparents.
I have lived in a few different states from north to south and east to west, so I have seen a large part of what the states countryside has to offer, which is where my urge to travel comes from. I would always like to see more, explore and find new things....
I have a garden, which is strange for my age, or so I have been told, I dunno??? I would say I have a huge fascination with plants and all things that grow. Thank you Central Illinois humidity, really takes the work right out of gardening.
(4.) Music...ahhh what do you say here, I listen to all kinds of music, lame right!!! Well it is true, I really do like most kinds of music, so perhaps what a better question would be what I do not like. Pop Country music, certain twang really kills me a little on the inside, teenie bop pop music, really anything with pop in it. What I have been listening to lately is blues music, muddy waters, john lee hooker, and african music, jabali afrika, This complication disk I picked up at the public libary, and for some realson I have also been on a KRS-One Kick...what can I say, "knowledge reins supreme over nearly everyone"

I have not been on a large number of dates, and first dates are always the hardest. I would try to find a common something that we shared, some place to eat, or a park to take my dog maybe your dog too on a walk through a park or open area, a band that was playing that did not repulse both parties involved, something a bit more competitive like darts pool or bowling. I am a pretty calm, relaxed easy-going guy, so if you just wanted to meet over coffee and converse, I am pretty sure I could come with something to talk about.
That being said, I would try to steer clear of the vicious cycle of "i wanna do what you wanna do, vise verse...ugh!!! However I am not opposed to trying new things, and I am a pretty social person so I can hold my own in numerous situations.
I do like to get dressed up, but I never want to lie, cheat, or deceive myself or someone else into thinking I am someone I clearly am not....

If any of that sounds like fun, or something you want to be a part of or my babbling was too much...let me know...I will be here...
until then, once again my name is joe
