Since a lot of you ladies list honesty as a very high, and understandably so, priority I figure that I will go a different direction with my description so here goes.

Here are some of my bad points, well they are not necessarily bad, but some people have had a hard time getting past them:

- I have two kids by two different mothers. One of my children lives in the area, and one lives in Oklahoma.

- I work a rotating shiftwork schedule, which makes a social life a little bit of a challenge sometimes.

- I have some visable tattoos.

- I have an odd/eclectic taste in music. I seem to specialize in music that you have never heard of, please ask, I love to share info about it.

These things have been problems for some people in the past, if you can deal with these issues then by all means read on.

Here are some of my good points:

- Despite my children living away from me I remain a pretty dedicated father, I spend as much time with my children as possible. I see the one child in Oklahoma about every six weeks and the one in the area 2 to 3 times a week and sometimes more.

- I am pretty handy, I repair or at least try to repair my own cars. I build things, and will soon be starting on my first remodeling job. I am a hard worker, and most of my co-workers and supervisors like working with me.

- I try very hard to be nice, and I really like to help people.

- I am gainfully employed by a local electric utility.

Points that are neither here nor there:

- I love music, and like to go to concerts, not as many as I would like to go to, but as much as I can. I really like the podcast from KEXP, they are really good and free, so if you love music check them out, especially the Music that Matters.

- I also run in a few 5k races and I finished a couple of half marathons one in August and one in September, so the next thing I am training for is the 2010 Chicago marathon,so if nothing else stop by and say good luck!!


So these are not all enculsive list, but hopefully it will be enough to get a conversation started. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks for stopping by.

Dinner and drinks, dinner and a game, dinner and bowling, just dinner, concert, I don't mind picking something but feel free to offer suggestions
