About Me

Just moved to the area from Chattanooga, TN about 4 months ago. Yes I come complete with a Southern wit and accent that I am kinda/sorta proud of. :) I have spend most of my life in the South - Born/raised in Chattanooga and I have also lived in Charlotte and Cincinnati before moving to Chicago. I figure if it's got a "C" in its name I'll wind up living there (but I will draw the line and now move to Cleveland. Sorry... :) I'm very down to earth, fairly laid-back and love sharing life and everything it brings – both good and bad – with family and friends. I have an awesome group of friends back in CHA and enjoyed the time we spend together. The friends I have will be my friends for life. We would go to the ends of the earth for each other! During the warm months I do enjoy taking rides on the motorcycle. If you've never rode with someone, you should at least once. It's a great way to unplug from the world for a while - Can't talk on a cell when motoring down the road (but I'm sure some have tried.) It's not as scary as you might think and getting some fresh air really clears the mind. I have a good job that has allowed me to grow professionally as well as personally. During the fall I enjoy getting out and enjoying the fall air and different events. I enjoy watching football (college over pro... in the south college football is a religion) and hockey, but it's more about hanging out and having a good time than being glued to the game. Unless it's really REALLY good! I have a great 18 year old daughter who has completed high school and has enlisted in the Navy. I am so very proud of her decision to serve our country. I enjoy a great conversation – It stimulates the mind and exposes you to new thoughts and ideas and helps you grow as a person. If you are to ever get my heart you must first capture my mind… Relationships are the key to who we are and we should always be growing them along with ourselves.If you believe those personality websites... Here's how I did:Explorer - 20% of your personality - Known for high energy, high creativity and spontaneity. Seeks novelty, risk and pleasure.

My Interests

I enjoy riding the bike, NASCAR (not obsessed w/it - I don't have a drivers number shaved in my back hair... and I DON'T have back hair BTW), walking / hiking, football (GO BIG ORANGE - Tennessee orange that is) playing pool or cards. I am a novice when it comes to playing poker but for some reason my co-workers won't play me anymore! There is nothing better than a glass of wine and great conversation - I love exchanging and sharing thoughts and ideas. I'm getting more and more into photography. I am learning how to take naps again and why I shouldn't feel guilty in doing so. My friends are a big part of my life! I don't have siblings yet I have the best brothers and sisters in the world. I enjoy spending time with them while meeting and making new friends. It doesn't matter if we're on their boat, riding through the mountains together or just sitting in the back yard solving all of the worlds problems. Travel! I want to go on a cruise - SOON! Go back to Mexico, go to Vancouver and see more of Canada (Niagara Falls was too much like Pigeon Forge for my liking), Ireland, England, Italy, Germany and Australia. In the summer me and my friends will ride or meet at Nightfall and are regulars at Riverbend.

I'd like to meet:

Smart? Witty? Great sense of humor? Know there's a time for work and a time for play? Confident in yourself without being overbearing? Independent yet wanting to share life with someone and compare notes? Open to new ideas while holding on to your core beliefs? Ready to prove you are different than most women? Stand up for what and who you believe in? Ready for someone to challenge your mind, make you think and in turn do the same for me? I am not perfect nor I am not seeking perfection - Only the one who is right for me. ..

Music:


Nickelback, Def Leppard, Big & Rich, 3 Doors Down, Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Santana, John Mayer, Skynyrd. The iPod is loaded with everything from Frank Sinatra to Metallica. I catch myself lisening to 80's & 90's music in addition to current music, both rock and country (let's face it - today's country qualifes as Southern Rock.) On business trips, XM comes in handy... the Eighties, Nineties, HitList, Mix, Big Tracks, Flight 26, Highway 16, WLW, Disco (I'm man enough to admit I listen to disco... brings back memories of youth. My parents would never let me listen to rock when I a kid... I guess they never listened to those disco lyrics? What do you think "Shake your groove thang" means anyway???)

Movies:



MyHeritage : Celebrity Collage - Family history - Family images
Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite! Die Hard series, the Indiana Jones series... I enjoy comedies: The 40 Year Old Virgin, There's Something About Mary, Animal House... Will Ferrell is growing on me; I enjoyed Talladega Nights and Blades of Glory. Most Nicholas Cage flms, Denzel Washington, Tommy Lee Jones are great actors. Bull Durham (proof you can intergrate a chick flick and a sports movie) and The Replacements (OK... more sports movie than chick flick, but there is a love interest in it.)

Television:

I have to admit - I'm a Discovery channel junky! American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters. I also watch Survivor & American Idol on occasion, MXC (one of the funnest, smartest shows I've ever seen) Man vs Wild, Survivorman. In the fall - Football party at my house! But it's more about hanging out with friends / family and having a good time than watching the game.

Books:

The Bible (although I don't read it as often as I should), most of Tom Clancy's stuff, Stephen King.

Heroes:

Both grandfathers. They were awesome role models... Not perfect but just great people. If I was given an opportunity to have dinner w/3 people - living or dead - it would be Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan & Jesus. All are great communicators, brilliant individuals who have a passion in what they believe and changed the world.
