Life is short and I recently discovered that, One should treasure every single moment while one can - life should be precious to everyone.
I'm 39 years old, head strong, driven and confident. I'm loyal and honest. I'm a hard worker, courageous, open minded and not insecure. I'm a versatile person, i possess a strong character and i stand firm for what i believe in. I don't scare easy. I'm goal oriented, hungry for success, and determined - i know what i want out of life. My job is quite physically demanding so i cherish any time off. I operate a zoom boom and labor in the brick and stone trade and am foreman for several laborers. I work long hours and have to sometimes babysit guys on the job so it makes for a long and tiresome day. In the evenings and any days off, i seek peace and harmony. Nevertheless, i keep myself occupied one way or another, i'm not much into sitting around waiting for life to happen. I'm a go-getter and i firmly believe that the only way i'll get what i want out of life is if i make the word relentless my main focus for achieving my short and long term goals.
I dislike liars, cheaters, frauds and people who take advantage of their authority should they have any. I have no tolerance for abuse of any kind and i don't like drama. I can't stand arguing or head games. I don't like repeating myself a million times unless you are hearing impaired. Trustworthiness and honesty is very important to me and the same goes for mutual respect. I don't believe in using words to hurt someone that you supposedly care for or love - so in other words, i won't tolerate that done to me either. I don't care for childlessness when supposed to be seriousness, but being a child at heart is ok too. I appreciate constructive criticism because i strive to do better all the time by any way possible, even if it means being criticized. I don't care for people who waste their life away. Lack of common sense in people annoy me. More than ever now, i truly believe that life is a gift, not a given right. I have three sons that don't reside with me. My oldest is soon to be 19 years old and he works with me full time. My middle son is going to be 16 next summer. My youngest boy is 10 years old. Tragically, and suddenly, on October 2nd 2009, my ten year old son past away in his sleep. My Angel died on the day of my birthday. Therefore i will never, ever celebrate another one of my birthdays, in honor of his name. One third of my heart died that day and i'm now functioning on the remaining two-thirds of it. My world as i knew it was torn apart and nothing will ever be the same for me again. I'm learning to deal with my loss one day at a time. I'm iron-willed by nature but this is by far the most pain i've ever felt in my heart. I truly believe that my little boy is now my Guardian-Angel and is my protector against all evil. I've had great support through family and friends and i know thats the reason why iv'e been able to keep it together. I have no sisters or brothers but my "crew" at work are my bros. This is all i wish to say about that for the moment.
I bought my first home 8 months ago - a duplex. I've got half of it gutted presently and that too keeps me very busy. I commit a lot of my spare time to upgrading my house. Aside from my job and my different projects at home, theres not much time left for much leisure. I wish to inform readers that this lifestyle (or not much of a life at all) is a matter of choice for me. As i indicated above, i know what i want so i gotta do what i gotta do to get there. I try very hard not to judge because i don't wish to be judged. I'm not perfect by any means so i'm not looking for perfection in a person - i know perfection in people doesn't exist.
I hardly go to bars, only on certain occasions. Although i do enjoy good times with friends, i suffer way too much the next day if i drink too much.
I have several passions in life: chocolate, music(94.7hits fm), food, efficiency of any kind, candlelight diners, taking baths or showers with that special someone is a big one, working on my house, and my job among other things as well. I get a real kick out of fixing broken things, whenever possible. And no, i'm not the type that thinks he can take on any task - i know my capabilities.
I'm looking for someone who is between 25and 40 years old and who is employed. Stability is a must and respect for herself and others goes without saying. A am looking for a person who shares a strong compatibleness with me and whom her and i won't have to work hard at "making it work". I believe that if its meant to be than it will work naturally. I'm all about making many sacrifices now, then reap the rewards later. I believe that the only chance it can work with someone is if we're on the same page and share many similarities in our wants and needs and where we wish to go in life. I take pride in my appearance, except when working of course, so i appreciate a person who takes pride in her appearance as well. Oh yeah, physical appearance speaks volume about oneself and therefore matters to me - i told you i was outspoken so sorry if any feelings out there gets hurt. But on the other hand, if you're the type who so easily gets offended just by what i'm writing, then you definitely aren't for me. Don't you ladies appreciate honesty and a tell it like it is motto. I've deliberately made this profile as long as i could in the hopes of giving all readers a heads up on who i am and what i'm looking for so please, ladies, if you know yourselves at all, than please, only respond if you share strong similarities with me and what you've read so far, and if you don't then please don't waste my time. By the way, my computer is not up and running, so i use friend's computers and will only be checking my account once or twice a week and please have patience because i'm new at this and quite rusty in this whole dating business. I recently bailed out of a two and a half year relationship in order to maintain my sanity - she wasn't the one for me. Sorry ladies no pics, no response but i do promise that if i'm interested, i'll respond accordingly.

First we should chat, then take it from there, let the chips fall where they may.
