My heart aches for the families and friends of the four Lakewood officers who were killed. What a selfish act by a low life loser. Rest in peace Ofc Mundell.

So I put down dating, because this way, things could start out slow and we can see what's possible. I am looking for a long term relationship, but it all starts as dating.

If you are separated I'm not interested. Separated is still married to me.

I don't do drugs, smoke or chew tobacco. Not really interested in most major sports and that includes the entertainment world of Nascar. I totally dig bowling and drag racing though. Dirt biking would be really fun to do but I really don't have a hankerin' for street bikes like Ducati's or the the super loud Harley's.
Quirkiness, offbeat, unusual are great qualities to possess. Monty Python, sarcastic, lots of banter. I'm a talkasaurus, opinionated, and passionate about music, new home technologies, my hobbies, how sensitive over the air hd tv is, etc. Especially, our local weathergoons, and news jockeys in general. If I could, I'd fire them all and forbid each weather clown to never utter 'convergence zone" again. Damn.

Love Harmon's Puget Sound Porter,freshly ground coffee, a woman who smells great and sheer peace and quiet. Really love peace and quiet.
Politics for me are all over the map and am not a one party person, more of an "issue" oriented guy. Hearing the word "change" and "transparent", in politics makes me feel really nauseous.
My eating habits are vegetarian. Only because I feel it's the healthier choice for me. I don't care if you are a meat eater. I'm primarily a vegetarian by health reasons, not political. If you are a fast food addict, move along. I've cut out butter and sugar now, unfortunately, because I really like the taste. Hopefully my arteries will appreciate the change.

I live in a mobile home park, just an fyi. I do own it(my home) and even though I'm very thankful for a roof over my head, and a place to call home, the goal is to sell and get out in the next 12 months. I'm getting there, just not as fast as I want to. I'm currently in the process of converting over to a radiant in floor heat system, can't wait to have a warm, toasty floor to walk on. If you are an hvac gal, I will fawn over you just that much more.
Truly love music from big band swing to hard rock and house/chill/ambient. Bluegrass, country, rockabilly, classical to Goo-Goo Dolls. Yes, even old school rap. I really don't like the cheesy smooth jazz. Or 70's pop. Jazz masters like Coltrane, Miles Davis(XM had Miles Davis radio for 4 mindblowing days), rocks my tiny world. Bob Marley and " Is this Love?" is one of my favorite reggae songs, that and "Jammin", somehow because the simpson's featured it on one of their episodes, it's currently ingrained in my brain as connecting the two.
I listed telecom contractor as my profession because I work for several different staffing companies who provide experienced central office people like myself. Sort of like staffing companies who provide labor for warehouse/industrial work. I don't actually own a contracting company that goes out and bids for work.
My side gig is working on my fledgling telecom supply business. Primarily will be an on-line business to business venture. I'm excited but somewhat realistic. However I do know it's a product that has to be used, whether it will be purchased the way I envision it remains to be seen. Now that I saw on CBS News about a guy who made 84k last year by wearing a t shirt with a different logo each day, and posting his pic on various social websites, I have really begun to question why it's taking me so long to get my act together. So thanks "T shirt with logo wearing guy", you just put me in front of the line.

Never been in jail, no dui's. Have a decent, fully insured Jeep and a valid driver's license. Oh, and I have all my teeth, especially the 1 bonus wisdom tooth that has yet to be pulled.
Donate blood every 8 weeks, donate food when I can afford to. Don't have friends like I used to when I was in high school, and I do get a long fine with my family. We aren't as close as I'd like however. So it's just me. That may or may not bother you, but now you know.
So what kind of woman am I looking for? A woman who is feminine yet capable. Freckles are great but not required. A passion for talking, to keep a conversation going. I see a lot of profiles that ask,"can you make me laugh, can you keep up with me or even better, where are all the real ones? Seriously ladies, what exactly are you asking for? I'm not a full time comedian, a long distance runner or the perfect GQ man. I'm not a poseur, I do have manners. I always say "please and thank you", and open the door for both m/f. Sure I can be an ass sometimes. Depending upon the situation, can be driven. I do have baggage and I expect you to also have baggage. Be healthy. So as you can tell, I'm not a unrealistic optimist.Can't cope with smokers very well but it all depends if you are 2 pack a day vs 1 cigarette in the morning/evening. I just would like you to be you. If your lexicon is creative and ingenious, on so many levels, do I appreciate that.
Oh and if you fake and bake and consider George Hamilton the epitome of being tanned, well, enough written.

Drink, relax. Take really long walks. I really don't want to go to a restaurant, after spending 3 months going to Olive Garden, Red Lobster, King's Fish House, Kennedy's, Outback, Henry's, Hot Rod Grille I'm kind of fried....get it?
