****10/9/09**** Saw a bumper sticker today that said "I'm trying to be half the man my dogs think I am", thought that was great.

Ok. I've been redoing this over and over, because I just can't seem to put what I'm all about or what I'm looking for into words. I'm usually not so tongue tied (finger-tied?), but me and the keyboard are just not seeing eye to eye. So lets just roll with a few major points and see where it goes...

* I am not looking for a booty call. Seems like a lot of women here complain that that's what most men here are looking for. You're not alone. Too many women here are awfully quick to jump in the sack. Let's wait at least a week, huh? It just leaves me feeling dirty otherwise.

* I'm not rich. Don't really care to be. I'm comfortable. That's all I could ask for and more. It seems too many people now a days base their happiness on stuff. I hate stuff. I don't need a plasma laser TV. Also, if I can see it from my couch or chair without squinting, it's big enough. Same goes for cars. I'm lucky enough to have the best car in the world. It's old, it's not shiny, and it doesn't have super high tech gadgets. But it's the best you could ever ask for. No, it doesn't have a name. It's a car. Over the years I've realized that it isn't what you have that will make you happy, but what you DO!

*I am a dog person. I have two, one is only two months old. He's pretty sweet. They're big dogs and they shed, drool, and stink. I try my best to keep it in check, but nobody's perfect. The oldest is probably the coolest dog ever born. Seriously, we're talking Benji/Lassie level here. But if you were trapped in a well you'd be screwed, cause she'd probably have to take a nap before she found someone to help. She's a bit lazy.

* I have no children. It's ok if you do, within reason. Four or five kids with as many fathers probably isn't for me. Nothing against you as a person, just not the kind of situation I want to put myself into. I like to live pretty much drama free, and I'd expect my potential match to be the same (that's not saying I don't like to listen to other peoples drama, of course!) I do want kids someday, and I'm not that person who knows how many. Whatever happens happens, right? I do have 2 nieces and a nephew that are pretty good kids. Probably the coolest on their block, for sure. I could be biased though. I do my best to see them all the time, and teach them all those little things that their parents seem to forget to. Kind of an uncle's responsibility I think.

* If I could never have the conversation, "what do you want to do", "I don't know, what do you want to do", "I don't know, where do you want to go", "I don't know, where do you want to go" again, I would be just about the happiest person in the world. It's just so annoying. Let me know if you agree...

* Hmmm. You probably want to know more about me, huh? I like mostly all music. But it's got to be music. I don't include modern day club stuff as music. It makes me cringe thinking how rich these "artists" are for putting out such junk. But that's just me. If you like it, roll with it. I have some friends in local bands that I go see quite a bit. It's always a good time.

I like to cook. Don't do it well, but it's fun to try. I'd say seven out of ten times I can eat it; otherwise it's pizza night! Which is fine really, there's the best take-out joint right up the road. Best bread sticks EVER!

Who would I like to meet? I'll sum it up like this...

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh yeah, one last thing. I put self employed up there ^. I started a company with my brother in July and I love it. The only problem is that I still work my regular job. Probably will for the rest of this year. I've worked at the same place for 13 years, so it's kind of a big decision for me.

That's all I have for now. I'll add to this as it becomes necessary. Thanks for reading this far.

I would like to go to the zoo. In Hawaii. Or maybe just dinner would be good too...
