Hello all! I suppose it was about time I updated my profile on here! LOL :) I moved here about 3 years ago to live with my now ex-girlfriend, who ended up cheating on me - hence I moved out on my own. But that' in the past...2 YEARS in the past. So I just keep moving along in life.

I guess what I'm looking for is someone to call me partner and my friend. Someone I can share the good times and the bad with. Someone who likes to go out to see a live band and party it up from time to time, but who also likes to curl up on the couch with me and watch horror movies and comedies with me.

So what about me you say? Well, it's alot to write here if I go into detail, so I'll try to sum it up in a few words. I'm sweet, fun, crazy, bad-ass, excitable, laid-back, energetic, lazy, existentialist, happy, outgoing, rarely a nihlist, friendly, affectionate, hard-working, motivated, talented, confident, intelligent, funny, occasional optimist, occasional pessimist, and umm.....well, an all around great guy I suppose. LOL (I say that with a modicum of modesty)

I like to read, write, paint, draw, design, take photos, see live bands, spend time with family and friends, daydream, watch movies (horror and comedy), go to the beach, go to amusement parks, bowl, laugh, make music, play cards, relax, ride motorcycle, and well.....a whole lot more. But if I list them all here, what will we have for conversation later? LOL

Oh, and I have 3 tat's, 6 piercings, and I absolutely LOVE any and all kinds of rock. Actually, I'm a huge music fan in general. I couldn't live without music. If you are interested enough to contact me, or reply to me....I'll gladly explain to you why music is so important to me. Again, I have to leave SOMETHING a mystery so we have something to talk about. :)

I'd love to hear from you if you like what you've been reading!! And feel free to ask me anything...I'm an open book. :)

Live, Laugh, Love.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::UPDATE::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

There are ALOT of fish in the sea, so I don't mind it if I have to keep "fishing". Just know this ladies: if you pass me over, you are making a huge mistake. I have a heart of gold, and I treat who I'm with with class, respect and heart. If you aren't looking for a good guy, then I suppose you should just keep looking......there are plenty of meatheads out that to treat you like crap.

Seriously ladies...are there any REAL women out there who want a REAL relationship? No drama, no BS, no games.....just a genuine human connection.

Please note, I am a smoker, and in the process of quitting using Chantix, but it's an ongoing process. Hope that does not bother you.

Something to "wow" the person I'm going on the date with....something kinda casual, something fancy, it just depends on the individual and what kind of personality they have. I'm pretty much open to anything, so long as it is something comfortable for the both of us. I like to let things happen naturally, and not force things with pre-conceived ideas. :) I'm open to pretty much anything.
