| | About Me |
| | The ice is slowly, oh so slowly, coming off the lakes and rivers so after a couple of months hiatus, it is time to dip my big toe back into the pond. After being banished to the "Big Smoke", for what sins I have committed I do not know, I have returned to the true center of the known and quite possibly unknown universes, Winnipeg. And I am here to stay.
So without any more ado.....
Greetings and Salutations:
Once upon a time, a long, long, ..... long time ago. I may have been considered tall, dark and moderately handsome, but with my quickly greying hair I am fast loosing the dark bit. I have a firm grasp on the tall part but I'll let you decide on any leftover handsomeness. There is a line from the movie Russia House that I like to use in describing myself. Michelle Pfieffer is meeting up with Sean Connery for the first time in the movie and she asks "How will I know you?", to which Sean Connery replies "Oh, listen I'm easy to recognize. I look like a large unmade bed with a shopping bag attached". Not to say that I look anything like Sean Connery, nor that I walk around in my spare time toting shopping bags, but the rest is pretty much right on.
Well since you asked, I am gainfully employed, doing a job I love, been with the company for over 25 years, and I am moderately well compensated for my efforts, that is unless you are my manager that is reading this, in which case a raise would not be amiss. I own my own home, in a decent neighbourhood, in Winnipeg. Well the credit union may argue they still own a piece of the homestead but as long as I make the mortgage payments they let me live here. Mom, Dad, my brother have all passed, so it is just me. I have no children, but if you do that is great, I love kids and regret that I do not have any of my own, however I have no desire to sire any new souls into this world, not that I don't love babies, its just that I am getting a little long in the tooth to be starting a new family, I have no desire to be in a walker with a shawl over my shoulders, sucking on oxygen out of a bottle at my kids university graduation.
My time is basically my own and I have three major trips that I hope to undertake in the next decade or so, plus of course a jaunt or two down to Vegas, I am sure will be in the cards. I've travelled overseas on my own, and it is great, you can never get lost, "of course I meant to wander down this garbage strewn London dead-end alley, I'm not lost, parish the thought", (Yes a typical male, probably didn't ask for directions)  but that aside, I would prefer someone to experience the world with me, even if it means getting waylaid once in awhile. I am not much for sitting on a Caribbean beach in January and baking in the tropical sun, but give me a castle or some ruins to go poking around in, then perhaps I could be persuaded. Aw heck who am I kidding, make it an all inclusive resort or even just somewhere warm, when it is minus something obscene with a horrendous wind chill factor and I am sure I could easily be persuaded to head south.
But enough about me, lets talk about you.
Hello beautiful, how was your day?
I have very, very specific wants and needs in what I am looking for, here in this pond o' plenty.
NAH, that is a lie, I have no idea what I am looking for. Tall, short, average, slim, athletic, a few extra pounds, a little older, a little younger it really doesn't matter it is all good. What I find most attractive is someone with a head on their shoulders and good sense of humour would be advantageous. Actually a good sense of humour would be mandatory, the quirkier the better, someone who does not take themselves too seriously, because I certainly do not take myself seriously at all. Someone who is straightforward, down to earth and easy going would also be beneficial.
A passport is a necessity, someone with a little wanderlust, a desire to see some of this big old world while we still can, we can figure out the whens and where to's later.
One thing though, I am truly 6' 6", no idea what that is in the metric world, and though I could care less, it does seem to be a big deal with a lot of women, so if you have no desire to go out with a tall guy, then sorry it is not meant to be, there ain't much I can do about the height thing, unless you want to wait 40 years or so when I should have shrivelled down a "normal" height.
So that is about it. If you've waded your way through this tome, thank you for investing the time, on the plus side you can now check off one book from your summer reading list. In the matter of full disclosure, to anyone who parts of this look familiar it is because I was on her before as sodbuster. I tried to resurrect my old id, but it kept failing, yes at times, I too find it hard to believe I am a highly paid I/T specialist. I decided to create a new pseudonym. One that is a little closer to myself, as I am so NOT a tiller of the soil.
I put myself down for a long term relationship, and have absolutely no qualms about putting in the time getting to know someone, to start off slow and build the trust necessary for a long term relationship.
So that is the Readers Digest version of RoJ. If anything tweaks your interest drop me a line. It may take me a day or three to respond, but I shall get back to you.
To finish off I would like to quote that great philosopher of our time Popeye, who summed it up quite nicely. "I yam, what I yam".

Perhaps sitting outside on a patio somewhere, enjoying a glass of wine, or an iced tea, and the warm Manitoba summer, watching people stroll by, somewhere quiet and laid back. or perhaps a nice stroll in the park, that is always good for alleviating any nervousness. |
