Keep in mind one thing - I am as full of **** as you are. These things you would have eventually found out anyway. Here they are up front.

"You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you're gonna ride on down into this tunnel of love" - Bruce Springsteen

If you are looking for your one true soulmate - I am not him. I do believe in love, romance, getting lost in ones eyes, karma, lightning bolts, and squishy feelings in my belly. Beyond that success in a relationship requires work, communication, compromise, respect, and fairness. Love is a verb I once heard. It does not happen, you have to do it. I know many believe in "soulmates." I don't. It a beautiful romantic myth, but just that - a myth. the stuff of fairy tales. I hope mine does not hold that against me when I find her..... but if you believe in that - I kind of envy that belief. I just don't subscribe to it.

What I am is a really cool guy with a great sense of humor, and a sweet personality. How attractive I am is in your eyes. I am not soap opera handsome, but you will not puke upon kissing me. I am a nice guy. My friends tell me I am too nice. I am learning what that means. I am not into games. Mostly because I am not good at them. I am a guy. I do not read between the lines. I read the lines.

I love my kids. I love my house. I love my dog. I love my family. I love my friends. If I get the chance to add anyone else to that list it is whipped cream on the pumpkin pie of life. If I don't get whipped cream for my pie, well the pie is still pretty damn good. I am quite happy. Whipped cream will just be better.

"The secret to happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you have."

"If you don't learn from you mistakes, you're bound to repeat them."

"What does not kill you only makes you stronger.

The lamest, most trite things you can say, and hear also turn out to be true. The reason they are lame and trite is because they have been said thousands of times already. They are the things your parents told you growing up that you ignored. I guess we have to learn them on our own to feel the truth of them.

If you want to find truth, and wisdom, listen to a comedian. There's a reason that every sitcom husband does not get his wife: Whether you like Seinfeld, Dane Cook, or Larry the Cable Guy (I like them all) - there's one thing that their material has in common - men don't get it. Hello!!! Men don't get women. That's why it's funny. Because it's true.

Just finished a ComedySportz workshop, and there will be more. It is great fun, and I am pretty good at it.

Nature of love? Who knows? I don't. Song lyrics give me insight. What's most important though is to realize that you have to surrender to the vulnerability of being hurt to feel the euphoria of being in love.

Not a TV guy. I love chilling with music - Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, John Hiatt, BoDeans, Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, Beatles, U2, Robert Cray, Green Day, Good Charlotte - the list goes on and on and on. There is not much I do not like.

One more thing. Eyes are blue. Pics don't show

If you want to talk, I can talk. Instant Message? I am there. E-mail? I type well.

Coffee is nice, and in Wisconsin having a couple of beers is the same as coffee, and who could say no to mini golf?!?!?
