Hobbies? I'm up for just about anything. I love the outdoors and nature. I like to go camping, hiking, rafting, and swimming. I really enjoy long walks especially on the beach or in a wooded area. I enjoy driving through the forest preserves and looking at the leaves changing color in fall or the snow on the branches in winter. I also like to play sports like badmiton, football, softball, and volleyball. I guess I'm a little anal retentive too since I just alphabetized the sports I like (Eeek). I like to wrestle or have the occasional light saber battle with my kids. If I'm stuck inside I will play board games, video games, or watch movies. Cuddling up in front of the TV on the sofa to watch a movie is always fun!. I also like to read, write and draw. I am currently working on a novel(ask me maybe I'll tell ya about it). I love to travel. Seeing and experiening new things is very exciting to me. I would like to visit all 50 states eventually as well as traveling abroad. I want see all the wonders the world has to offer. I also really like roadtrips.

Goals/Aspirations? Hrmm. I guess I would have to say I'm looking for happiness(aren't we all). My hopes are to find a woman who will be both a friend and a companion to share this thing we call life. I'm a simple man. I want to be happy, raise some kids with good morals, be a good father, husband and provider. I am looking for a long term relationship to build a good life and good memories. After all is said and done and when we are old and grey I want to sit on the porch with my wife in our porchswing and drink some lemonaid and I'd like to say to her " ya know we didn't do so bad".

About myself? jeez...Well this is awkward aye? Ok here goes. I am strong and confident in who I am. I am honest, kind, and compassionate. yea yea I really am a man I swear. I believe the three things you need to have to make a relationship successful are honesty, communication, and sense of humor(this needs to go both ways or it will not work btw). I believe in God but I have an open mind to others and what they believe. I have a strong sense of old traditional family values. I am intellegent, I'm kinda hot =P, I can read, and ...I have all my teeth! Yay for teeth!

Music? I like just about anything. Classic rock, country, and alternative are probably my favorites. I am not to fond of really heavy metal or rap.

Happiness is awesome if you can manage to find the little buggar.

I would take her to a nice dinner. Somewhere we could talk and get to know each other face to face and see if there is any chemistry. After dinner maybe a walk to continue the conversation.
