I like to crack jokes in the awkward silence. Sometimes they could be misconstrued as harsh or crude. My sense of humor is always evolving. It's sometimes juvenile or the kind that only a few will ever get. I am usually hit or miss with the timing. I don't want to be a stand up comic. I just want to make you smile.

Now that you know something I value... I feel that I need to share that I am the type of guy who dreams big but sometimes seems to fall a little short of the glory. So I’m trying to change that. I am a graduate with a fine arts major, a design art minor and a global study minor. I am an alumni of the Sigma Nu fraternity, chapter Epsilon Beta, of Drury University. I currently am a freelance photographer. I have been reading more novels lately consisting of fiction. I also work on art projects like painting, my photography and am attempting to start some sculpture. I am working on my teaching certification in art k-12 and will hopefully obtain it in may of 2010 after student teaching.

My main passion is photography. I have a darkroom set up but it's at my dads an hour and a half away. I want to experience art everyday for the rest of my life. Whether I am practicing it, teaching it or even just talking about it. If you want to see some of my photography just ask me for my website... since it contains my full name I don't want to post it. Because then you would find me on facebook and then you would know all about me with out having to talk to me.

Spending time with family is important to me since I lost my grandmother to cancer. Sometimes I wear my emotions on my sleeve but other times I just keep them to myself. I surround myself with good friends and enjoy talking to strangers, is that wierd? I tend to think that kindness and a good tone can spread to others.

I am mainly looking for a freind first. I am not looking for anything serious but always keep my mind open as to what may come. I know that a relationship takes time and effort and would be willing to devote my attention to those details if we get along and don't play games. I am almost always honest and feel I deserve the same in return. I can handle honesty even if it's brutal. I am loyal and believe that if a young lady holds my attention she will be the only one. I also have some shyness when it comes to talking to women, so dont be afraid to take the first step.

I think it would depend on our common interests and the weather. A quiet bar or park would be ideal first dates.
