OK, just came up with a good headline!!!

... Creative, Friendly, Kind, Generous, Hysterically Funny, Outgoing, Humble Genius ...

No really, I'm serious - and waterproof;-)

ok, what else ... I'm a pretty nice guy with a silver-lining mentality. I lend a good ear to friends, have a fairly unique and creative sense of humor. I'm generally patient and tolerant to a fault; try to keep a positive attitude and maintain an even keel despite work and other insanity ... really enjoy my time with the kids and love to pick stealth bombers out of the night sky using my cloak-penetrating vision ...

I aspire to make the world a better place - I volunteer as an EMT but my best contributions to humanity are accomplished via notes scribbled on the back of bar coasters and placemats.

What you want more??? Fine. I chose 'Friends' in response to the 'I am looking for' field as 'My Keys' wasn't an option nor could I make multiple selections - hence 'Friends' seemed the least conspicuous way to lure in unsuspecting victims - rather like the digital equivalent of a slug of pheromones (yes, I am the type of guy who uses the word 'rather' when I write - which explains a lot). Not aggressively seeking a serious relationship as I'm going through a bit of a rough patch (one of those scorched by the lousy economy, having trouble finding work, dealing with an overly unhealthy portion of BS w/ the ex nearly 3 years post-divorce - oh yeah, I'm one hell of a catch;-), so if you're actively seeking Mr. Right (Now), I'm probably not your guy. On the other hand, if you're attractive, able to live life with a smirk, patient and don't mind making a good friend with potential while the soulmate search continues, by all means drop me a line ...

So far as physical description goes, I fit somewhere in between the 'Athletic', 'Fit', 'A few extra pounds' and 'Thick' descriptions, depending on a complex relationship between the phase of the moon, sunspot activity, number of non-working pens in my possession and the spot price for Lego futures so I selected 'Average' as it seemed like a reasonable compromise....

Oh yeah, while I'm on the honesty kick, I'm not really 32ish (feel free to guess) but quite capable of acting it (when I'm not acting 22ish) ;-) -- just a little more maturity behind the scenes. So, while I'm an old SOB, I feel blessed with a combination of the wisdom brought by the years and the heart of youth granted by my boys ...

So, to sum it all up: Upbeat, respectful, level-headed, creative, young at heart, with a half-cup of a little goofy / zany / dance to a different beat sense of humor. Oh yeah, I truly identify with Shrek for some reason ... probably because he's just another slightly emotionally retarded guy who's able to work through his issues given a little time and space!

You can find most of this and more on my myspayce page myspaycedotcom/gripeape. Just looking to be happy - make friends who can trust each other & simply be themselves.

And if that doesn't work out I'm also seeking several dozen Intelligent, Beautiful, Funny, Kind-hearted, Gorgeous-eyed, Optionally Pierced/Inked, Shapely, Friendly, Bisexual Female Masseuses who love a good laugh .... Ideally with many, many similarly attractive friends looking to feed me shrimp and grapes on a Carribean Island - or at least a few who will wake me up from that dream and do the next best thing :-)

Oh, what the Hell ...

... ... !!! I AM IRON MAN !!! ... ...


Denny Crane ...

Up for most anything - probably worth trading a couple emails/IMs to break the ice and see if there's sufficient interest in getting together. If so, I actually enjoy most normal stuff - conversating, chilling out to movies, dinner, music, drinks, applesauce, trading back/foot rubs, walking, hiking, beaching, thumb-wrestling, making up spot brain-tasers (teasers too), people-watching, sports-watching, darts, pool, hang-gliding with Elvis, etc ...
