Ok well, the short vision is: Devoted, determined, person that is shy at first but warms up fast who is looking for friends first, and then see where fate takes us. Been on this site since November of 05 and loving every minute of it. Re Registered after being deleted, and see whats new. *UPDATE* I was born with a physical disability and have been in a wheelchair since I was 17/18. Graduated, went to B.C.I.T. and received certificate in the: Call Center of Excellence Program. And have been working in the Phone industry for a few years now. In between jobs at the moment. I swear, looking for work is more stressful then working. But I'm sure my efforts will pay off in the near future.I'm a firm believer that life is not meant to be lived alone. So after some time alone, I have found a new direction So, if anything that I've said strikes you as a person that you'd like to meet, and have around to develop a great friendship with, and maybe more....then drop me a line and we'll do Lunch/coffee. Hope you find what I have been lucky enough to have found myself. Good luck to you!
UPDATE: I have found a very good friend in my life through this site. She is going through a personal tragety from the loss of her fifteen yr old daughter to cancer complications. Through friendship, it is my hope to help her survive this tragic event, and have her realize that she must continue to go on, and that there are many here on this site that wish her the best and are there for her in her time of need in their own way.
POF has been very good to me and for me. It is through POF events that I have found many new friends and friendships of the long lasting variety. It is my intention to continue to stay with POF after finding the woman that I intend to marry. I didn't have all that many people in my life that I would consider to be good friends and because of that, the social life wasn't all that good either. But, thanks to POF, the socail aspect of my life has greatly improved over the last year and a bit. And I would be crazy if I were to cut that avenue of meeting new and interesting people out of my life. Plus, I have a commitment to host the POF brunches once a month at Fresgos in Surrey. And I wouldn't want to disappoint any of my fellow fish, both known and unknown. Lets face the facts. If I were to leave, I know that someone would be found to take my place for hosting the brunches. But I also have to admit that I just have way too much fun hosting the brunches to begin with. So, truth be told, you'd have to fight me for the right to host the brunches.
Ok, Spring has sprung, so let the POF Camping begin. One down, (May Long)and many more to go!
*Update!* Well, Summer has gone.....not too sure where, but its gone. Didn't have enough camping under my belt for this year due to health and bad timing. Oh well, I have to look forward to the future and not dwell too long on the past.(But many parts of the year that has gone by so far won't soon be forgotten...this I promise! Both the good times, and the bad/sad times.)
Worked the P.N.E. this year and had a pretty good time doing so. But now I have to work on a longer term solution to bringing in a little extra income to supliment my pension. Working on this as of right now.
Looking forward to the future POF events of the fall and winter to come. Both the ones hosted by yours truly, and many others. Even considering taking short road trips to see some of my fellow POF Loopiens that I missed out on seeing this past summer. If I can make it up there my friends, watch out for the Spudster. And if not for a POF event, you can watch out for me in the early Spring time in the Kamloops/Kalowna areas when I arrive for some of my Wheelchair Basketball tourney's in your area. I will keep y'all posted as to the dates/times/ and locals in the not too distant future.
Thats all for now...
Ta Ta!
Spud.

P.S. I read in someone's profile once, saying this: "If live gives you Lemons, PUT A GRANAIDE IN ONE AND THROUGH IT BACK!" Now that is/was sooooo funny to me. But a great way to look at things when they aren't going so well. You only live once in most peoples opinion so you might as well play long and hard. *UPDATE* The pics are from May Long Weekend 07

First Meet, something fun/casual/ and comfortable for both.
First Date: Dinner, then maybe depending on time and how we have both received one another during the dinner time, a movie......and then the sky is the limit.
Based on my last First Date, back in November 06,.....anything, and I mean anything is possible!
