PART ONE: Hi, I'm Mike. I'm a single white male, 40, never married and currently residing in Chicago's south suburbs. I'm a loving uncle to five beautiful children that nicknamed me Uncle Monkey. It's a cute nickname & it stays. I have a degree in radio & television broadcasting with a minor in film production. I have worked in the radio broadcasting industry for over 12 years. The bulk of my radio experience was in country radio. I left radio in 2007. As a hobby, I produce a local rock music video tv show that helps promote local unsigned bands as well as shows all the popular rock videos from the 60's through today. I'd love it if my future girlfriend would take an interest in being part of that show.
I enjoy doing karaoke. I own a mobile dj company that performs for events such as weddings & karaoke nights at bars. I'd love meeting people who enjoy living life center stage behind a mic. I'm an avid writer. My influences are comedy, action & horror. I enjoy the outdoors. I like camping, fishing & hiking. I also enjoy taking pictures of landscapes, nature & textures. My favorite author is Stephen King but my favorite book is currently THE TRAVELER'S GIFT by Andy Andrews. My favorite music is 80s rock but I like all music except for death metal & gangsta rap. My favorite color is red. My favorite food is chicken wings. What else is there to know? LOL!
PART TWO: The following is what I look for in a woman. She's a sensitive person & genuinely cares about how other people feel. When she talks about our broken homes, dreams, aspirations, everything she says I deeply relate to. She's an extremely beautiful woman whose inner beauty matches her outter beauty, but there's much more to her than that. I know she's everything I can ever hope for in a woman. She is love at first thought. I love how her hand would always find mine. Her kisses are like dessert. She fits just perfectly in my arms. She looks angelic when she sleeps. Her skin is softer than silk. I like the way her head always finds just the right spot on my shoulder. I'm touched when she cries during movies. She smells wonderful even if she isn't wearing perfume. Her voice is like my favorite song. When you hear it on the radio, you feel good. I'd appreciate her values & morals, how she respects herself & other people.
My mother once told me that a woman wants two things from a man:
To be told frequently that she is loved & to be shown often that she is special.
So, I ask of you... please find me this woman & she'll know love eternally. :-)
PART THREE: Do you have the courage to laugh at yourself? Sadly, many singles don't. Millions of people take themselves & their lives so seriously that they refuse to recognize the absurdity of much of what they do. Not that everything in life is a laughing matter. If you can laugh at yourself, odds are you experience less tension, less worry & better health. You have the priceless ability to put things in their proper perspective. Laughter is a gift from God. He must think some parts of life are pretty funny, or he wouldn't have given us a sense of humor or the platypus. An example of something funny from my own life would be that I once sat on a flaming marshmellow.
PART FOUR: The Biblical definition of love as defined in 1 Corithians is that love is patient & kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things.

PART FIVE: Imagine you're at a car dealership. You see your favorite dream car. It's beautiful! Everything you dreamt it would look like. You get inside & find a several pairs of soiled panties, the smell of cigarettes, beer and marijuana, it runs when it wants to & would cost thousands upon thousands to get it to run the way you want it to... but wait, it's beautiful on the outside. Now next to it is a lesser desirable, older car with some miles on it. It runs great is dependable & will get you to your destination. I'm that second car. I will get you to your destination... a relationship built on respect, honesty & passion.
PART SIX: Everyone is caught up in the tradition that a first date should involve dinner & a movie. Sure, it's fun, easy & relatively inexpensive but there are too many distractions to have a good conversation. I believe that a good first date is simply sitting down anywhere & having a stimulating conversation. That is how we're going to know if we're compatible.
I have many ideas mulling around in my head, including miniature golf or billiards at a pool hall, not at a bar. I just believe in not going to a bar for a first date. That's tacky. I'm not tacky.
If we "click", chances are we'll find ourselves laughing, having a lot in common and wanting to plan a second date, possibly that dinner & a movie date. I would still prefer something different than the norm. I prefer that we enhance our minds. Let's go to a museum or the art districts in the city. I haven't been to the museums in ages. I'd love to do that.
PART SEVEN: My ultimate date was taking her to dinner at the Signature Lounge in the Hancock Tower in Chicago, IL. Then we had dessert at The Cheesecake Factory in the Hancock Tower Annex. Afterwards, we went for a carriage ride through the art or Frank Lloyd Wright districts. We cuddled. Depending on the season there would either be a blanket with hot chocolate or champagne & strawberries waiting for us in the carriage. Regardless of season, there would be a solitary rose waiting for her in the carriage. Now that you know my ultimate date, we're going to have to create a new super date just for you.
PART EIGHT: I'm a great guy to have as a friend plus I know I'd make for a great boyfriend & spouse. If you'd like to read more, let me know and I'll send you my My Space, FB and email addresses. If you made it this far, the least you can do is respond with a hello. Anything more than that would be nothing short of a miracle. Now ask me if I ate the marshmellow.
~The End~
