So, I'm a passionate and sensitve guy that is looking to meet someone great. I believe the key to all successful relationships is a great friendship. I have no expectations, but a lot to offer and would hope for the same in return.

First off, I'd like to state a few things here...

1. I've never understood why people worship and admire the Dalai Lama but nobody sings, "For he's a jolly good Laaaaaaama...". I mean, I bet he'd like that more than anything!
2. Why do people use big words where a diminutive one will suffice?
3. Today I put on my new bumper sticker: Geez if you believe in Honkus!!!
4. On the other hand, I do have to shake my head at Atheist friend Andrew. Andrew has a bumper sticker that reads "Honk if you love Jesus" and when someone honks, he gives them the finger.
5. I would encourage you all to help me stamp out, eliminate, abolish and eradicate redundancy.
6. I have realized that punctuation is very important to the writer. Consider these two examples: Duck Sausage vs. "Duck!!! Sausage!"
7. I really can't fault the teenage cashier at the grocery store. I told him he reminded me of myself when I was young and stupid to make him feel better.
8. Time to read up on Cole's Law: Thinly sliced cabbage
9. Of course I like rice cakes. I mean who doesn't enjoy chewing on a foam coffee cup that is less filling?
10. Finally, no offense, but I'm curious: Do they call it PMS because MCD, "Mad Cow Disease", was already taken?

So if you read all these, smiled, and are slightly intrigued while not being offended, then great: You like to laugh just as much as I do and believe it is the best medicine!

A refined sipping Scotch, Rye or Tequila... I think I've finally made the transition to adulthood!

Yes, in fact, I am the Dark Knight...

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, It is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 84.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started... :-)

Anything that involves a lot of talking filled with laughter!
