About Me

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. ~Leonardo da Vinci Italian engineer, painter, & sculptor (1452 - 1519)One gym obsessed guy here. Well not 24/7, I have times where it doesn't seem like I live at the gym. :)I consider myself intelligent but there is a BIG wise-crackin' kid inside, so be ready for me to crack a joke at anyone's expense... Including mine! Don't worry though I have a good sense of people's sensibilities so I never cross any lines... Unless you let me. ;-) I'm very loyal to those I hold near and dear.I think there's a time and place for everything, but not enough time to do everything and see every place. Which really sucks, 'cause my biggest desire is to travel all over the world!I love people who can hold a serious conversation about some issue that's important to them yet don't take themselves too seriously, so they'll enjoy a wisecrack from me after they've been on their soapbox for a while...

My Interests

movies, friends, music, sports , anything outdoors, hiking, my dog, family, martial arts movies, studying languages, looove! and... My nephews!!!

I'd like to meet:

I am not looking to "hook up," but thanks for the thought. ...I think.Otherwise, cool people here that are also REAL people (w/real photos, that would be nice).In terms of dating, I don't date a lot, and I don't usually date guys under 26. That's not to say that I don't have friends under 26 or that I won't consider dating under that.If you're gay, du bist gay, eres gay, tu es gay, sen ediyorsun gay, sei gay, then you're A-OK.

Blogs are dumb. I don't know why I write them. Because they are a way to present your point of view. And that is inconsequential seeing as how you have to do it in a blog. I don't like Madonna. Why d...
