Myspace Layouts"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. My favorite color is green." I am terminally cheery and upbeat (with an occasional dash of sarcasm for balance), witty, forthright, warm and happy. Equally capable of extreme silliness and serious conversation. I champion men's right not to be ashamed of their age or their size. I do volunteer work with children that I find both fun and rewarding, because I think it's important not to just take up space on the planet. Not to add I also volunteer on the fire dept. along with the first aid squad in my town to help people in need. "I am from NJ. I curse... a lot. I say 'sup', and I say it often. I never had school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don't pump my own gas and why should I. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a fuckin' roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they get off the parkway. I can navigate a busy circle in no time -- with attitude. All good nights must end at a diner--preferably with fries. It's a hoagie, not a sub or, worse yet, a hero, and I wash it down with soda, not pop. Two words... 'mother fucker.' I don't go to the beach, I go down the shore. And boardwalk brawls are just a part of the atmosphere. Yes, I drink cawfee. I know that 65 mph really means 80. I've always lived within 10 minutes of a mall. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger. And they expect it. I am from New Jersey! Sane (or happily, knowingly insane), honest, fun, responsible, mature (it's a mindset, not an age), positive people for friendship. I really don't care who reads my profile but, doesn't mean I will add you. NOTE: People, if you're too lazy or technologically challenged to, um, FILL OUT YOUR PROFILE, don't expect me to write back if you email me.
