About Me

Wow, where the hell do I begin? I'm admittedly a private person to those I don't know well but I'm working on it. Anyway I'm a decent guy, at least I think so, I just treat others the way I'd like to be treated and try and have fun at the same time. And no you're not hearing things on this page, I like and listen to rock music (Godsmack over G-Unit 4ever) and just about anything that sounds good to me. Sorry but so-called "songs" about "bling-bling" and "hood life" land on my stupid list. I've met and known people from all walks of life so I take being open minded seriously. My take on life: I believe in trying to be a better person than the day before because I think we all need work, some more than others (::cough, cough:: you know who I'm talking to). As for the whole dating thing...I'm pretty much starting over at this point. Right now I'm just looking to meet some new people, having a little bit of fun and just seeing where it goes from there. Anyway most of my thoughts, as well as most of my random gripes on life in general, are on my blog so take a look if you want to know more about me. So here I am in a slightly cracked nutshell (okay so the crack's a little bigger) but we all have days like this where, for the lack of a better term, there's no time for stupid BS...so eat, drink, be merry or whatever floats your boat and take care of yourselves. Maybe I'll see you around.And if you want some other views of anything else that's bugging me about the known world...http://phoenixfire81.blogspot.com/Myspace Layouts
