My name's Mike. I am 23 years old. I'm honest. I'm caring. I'm loud. I'm obnoxious. I'm annoying sometimes. I'm immature. I make some bad choices from time to time. But I have fun, damn it, and that's all that counts.

I'll be up front here, my friends and family are my life, but when I have a special someone, I hold that special someone on a higher pedestal. A large amount of my friends are ex-girlfriends. The reason behind that is that if I ever need someone to talk to, at least one of them is there, and I can always get unbiased truthful advice from all of them. And I can call their bluff if they lie to me, too.

I'm 420 friendly. I celebrate it myself, but I don't push it onto people who don't do it, or even do it around people who don't do it (especially not kids).

I work outside pushing carts for a retail store called Walmart (you may have heard of it), and I bust my ass over there, so don't think the belly-rich guy in the pictures is a precise representation of the guy typing this message. It's still me, I just shed a few spins.

I'm also a student at IADT - Tampa, working on my Bachelor's in Audio Production/Recording Arts. It's awesome stuff and I love it.

On here, I'm looking for friends, maybe some casual dating, and eventually I want to try out a relationship. Let me clear this up, too, since most women think all men are after a quick piece of ass: while sex is fun for everyone, I believe in there being a LOT more to life than just plowing each other silly all the time. I'm not the "booty call" type. I want an emotional connection before we move it to that level. And I just want to say that, there are a LOT of fake people who say they want someone who will not judge them. But yet they see someone who won't judge them or try to control them, and pass them right by, because they aren't all that good looking. I'm not even going to point out the irony here. Just don't tell people not to judge you if you're just going to turn around an judge them. Judge not lest ye be judged.

That's all I can think of right now. Please don't hesitate to message me if you like what you see, or if you're just curious about me. Also, you can hit me up on AiM (ibreakbarriers) or YaHo0 (diogirock).

For a first date, I would say either lunch or dinner at a nice local restaurant, maybe a movie or a game of pool, and a little walk through a park by the beach while the sun sets over the water.
