Who am I? I'm just a guy looking for someone to spend some time with. I'm not the 'hit it and quit it' type, so unless you're looking for something that could end up being important you should just move on. When people say things about me, the first thing I want to come out of their mouths is that I'm a good man. Dorky and a little eccentric, sure, but above all a good man. It's something I work hard to earn. The biggest goal I have day to day is to be just a little better than I was yesterday. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail, but no matter what I'm proud of the man I've become.

I'm a contradiction it would seem. Ideally I am quiet and shy, preferring to read people and figure out where I stand before I open my mouth. But then I'm also a man of action and I'm not afraid to take control of the world around me when the need arises. I guess I'm looking for someone who can deal with such contradictions and be ready to accept the fact that the only simple thing about me is that I believe in responsibility and kindness in every action.

I am starting to get heavily into tattoos. I have three now and will probably be getting several more before too long. Every part of the process is addictive, picking it out, that first breath of clean tattoo parlor air, the buzz of the needle, the pain, aftercare...I can see why there are people covered head to toe. Helps as a salesman too, in a store where there is very little to tell the guys apart by simple description, a few tattoos help customers remember me.

I'm working as a cell phone salesman...but not the slimy type. Yes, I know all salesmen say that and I won't tell anyone that I'm never a little pushy -I do have bills to pay and all- but more that I'm not above losing the sale when I'm not the best option. I would rather have someone leave upset than leave with a phone and plan that my experience tells me they will be very unhappy with in the long run. I have achieved a reputation in my store for brutal honesty with my clients about certain products. Let's face it, most cell phones are utter garbage. Seriously Mr. Steve Ballmer, if you want me to stop telling people that Windows Mobile is a horrible operating system maybe you should put that multi-billion dollar brain towards making it user friendly and reliable, you blowhard moron. But still, I do love my job. After all, I get to play with cutting edge consumer electronics all day!

I like talking to people, learning what makes them tick. Maybe a dark dive bar and a beer late at night or an isolated coffee shop in the middle of the afternooon, just some place public but private (see, a contradiction!) where we can get to know each other beyond the confines of a few lines of text.
