Recently, two of my friends told me that I remind them of "the most interesting man in the world.” Have you seen those 15-second YouTube commercials for the Dos Equis beer brand? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PIkOwbUqWA

I look nothing like the actor in these commercials. He must be..what?...like 60+ and looks more like Captain Highliner meets Sean Connery minus the breaded fish sticks and Billy. I must admit, I do share a striking resemblance to his overall persona, particularly on the following notable points:

a) Much like he does, I too …live vicariously through myself.
b) I tend to welcome the odd awkward moment, simply because....I’ve rarely had them.
c) While working at The Westin Hotel in Ottawa, I greeted John Candy and he promptly handed me his Rye and Coke and charged me with it. The conversation was brief. I said “Hi! Mr. Candy! I possibly may be the most interesting man in this city, but you are clearly the funniest man in the world. He simply nodded and shook my hand. He died shortly after, leading me to believe that he handed the funny torch to me.
d) Whenever you hear the sound of a helicopter in the sky, chances are that I am near and being followed from the air.

Here are some more of my experiences past and present (The following are not bragging points but are meant merely to help illustrate my claim as Possibly POF's Most Interesting Man)

I :
- am a father to 2 bright adventerous boys, 4 and 15 yrs of age.
- have and will stop at the scene of an accident
"I am medically trained and can assist you"
- have volunteered at childrens' hospitals and Humane Society branches.
Animals and children tend to magnetize towards me.
- teach Scuba Diving, and worked at Dive Shops here in Canada and the Bahamas
My Best Dive: with a 12ft Hammerhead, in The Blue Hole.
- conducted underwater research with the Canadian Museum of Nature.
Discovered Fresh Water Jelly Fish in a lake in Quebec, there are only a few others in Canada.
- am a volunteer member of a police force dive team.
- was a Pro Golfer for one day
- lived on a sailboat for 3 months.
- mountaineered to the top of the highest mountain in Eastern North America.
- have driven a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and Porsches.
It was part of my job, what a rush to feel that power!

I don't have much social time, but when I do, I prefer to go hard and not stay at home, so to speak. I try to live life in the Moments, am patient, respectful, funny, and almost always in a good mood. And if you're not, then it will quickly become my mission to cheer you up. I live for good conversation with sarcasm and innuendo thrown in.

About you:

You rarely go to the gym to workout because you already get plenty of exercise outside, around the house, and at work. John Lennon, then Green Day, said it best….”a working class hero is something to be.” Your cerebral muscles are already taut, ripping and strained to perfection. You let others pump iron while you pump irony (…with me).

You love my searing sarcasm because like cayenne pepper and Frank’s Hot Sauce, it is The true spice of life. You’ll never know when (or if) I’m serious but you will recognize a good zinger when you hear it.

Let's save a whale or two. A good Pub is a great second choice, perhaps a couple of Dos Equis? Coincidentally Dos Equis means two x's of which I happen to have, but we all seem to get along.
