Alllllll right. let's see. yes. a few things to beguine with.
it's a quarter past three in the morning and i am folding laundry, working on my homework and watching Food Network. So here we go, the first thing is that I sometimes find it less than simple to go to sleep at night. It may be a little early to tell you the next thing but..........I am nothing if not honest so I will tell you now that I occasionally snore. Lastly; I am a full time student period. i've been at it for a year and a half now and will finish my second associates degree next sememster. I have a plan and it does not fit the typical mold so next i will get another associates degree almost as quickly and then a bachelor's degree. this means i'm not working for a living. been supporting me and my kids off of savings and support of my family but it will pay off in the end. it also means that although i am finally ready inside to think about seeing someone.........i'm not quite ready outside. but a friend or 53 would be ok. "You know, Fareeeeeeeeeinds."
and now for the rest of the story..............
I am in the process of reinventing myself again... I do this every ten years or so. This makes it really hard to write about myself until I have walked far enough down my new path. I can, however fill you in on where I think I am standing now, where I have been, and where I am going.
I am painfully honest, so you never have to worry if I meant what I said. I have a dry sense of humor. It’s a good sense of humor, just really dry. Sometimes other people even laugh at my jokes. I WILL and DO make mistakes. However, I will try even harder to own up to them, and try to correct what errors I make.
I had been in the military for the last 11 years and held a technical rating in the civil engineering field. I am a young widower with 2 kids. My life and the decisions I make tend to be centered around them. That's why after volunteering for and finishing a deployment to Iraq I have moved back home to restart my life from scratch. Now that I am no longer serving my country in the armed forces I have decided to finish my degree in education and teach at the high school level.
The only other two things you might want to know are that I tend to get very excited about certain odd things. Don't ask me about Starbucks unless you wanna hear me rant and rave about licensed pretension. The other quiet bit is that I am a fountain of useless information and stories; the info is all true and factual, the stories are mostly true and factual but I'll warn you before telling you fish tales. Some of those stories like how I earned the nickname, "Buffy the Fireman," I told only when exchanging rounds
at the bar.
Since coming home I've gotten the kids involved in Church, Family, hanging around while I help coach the cousins Tee Ball team, Relay for Life, Hanging around at my college, and the list keeps growing on and on. I am looking for someone to spend some of that time with though. Someone who's converse does not include the important decision of whether to use a brown or purple crayon to draw Daddy.
list of things everyone should know how to do: make a martini, make lasagna and chicken cordon bleu, rebuild a carburetor, sew well enough to put a button on, write and speak well, make a good snowball and nekkid snow angel, bake a pie/cake/bread, give a good massage/foot rub, and don't stop learning.
I have most of this down but my list keeps growing. My lasagna needs work and I still prick my finger when I sew sometimes. I need help with my pie crust and would appreciate some time to practice my massage and foot rub.
I can't really say who I want 'coz so much of that depends on the first glance, first touch, first time I hear your voice and on and on. You must truly like children. It might be helpful if you enjoy sci-fi, music, Christmas, 4th of July and don't like fizzy yellow beer. What do You want? I should point out that I am a PHYSICAL kind of guy so there MUST be a physical attraction but I am also a mental kind of guy, (that would be translated more into nutty than nut job), so we have to be able talk without just making noise to fill the silence.
I haven't dated in a looooooooooooooong time. its' something like 8 years. I suppose start with a cup of coffee or glass of wine somewhere quiet, how about a loaf of bread for the ducks at Lake Ella? Maybe a flea market. God that sounds like i'm just terrified doesn't it? Aaaaalllllll right! never mind. a beer, a shot of tequila and then skinny dipping together in some strangers pool. ummmmmmm was that too far in the other direction????
