I guess it's that time again.

About Me


I am originally from North Carolina but am a metropolitan sort of person. Not a true city boy, because I do appreaciate southern arts like food and bluegrass! I am a father, so if you have trouble understanding that scope of lifesyle, read no further. I am comfortable being seen in my pajamas or to the nines for a night out with friends. People would describe me as curiously silly, braisin yet classy and down to earth. You can't write charm.
I am quite straight forward and enjoy the same respect from others, unless you are obviously in playful spirits, --let me know. I am getting to know myself again as single and would like to meet some fun people to explore life with. Down the road build I would like to see many foundations for lasting friendships. That is my ultimate goal. If more presents itself, I never pass up on something good.
(Lets just take things one step at a time).
Striving to be a better person when it comes to self development and further education are part of my routine.. Setting goals each day is my newest path, I continue to learn and grow each day.

My Interests



Being a MAGNIFICENT BASTARD

I like...
finding good music, having dirty conversations, discovering art,eating a great meal with new people, saving my ears, talking some shit, drinking some good tequila, watching a good movie, listening to the rain curled up on the porch on a cold rainy night, listening to a good zydeco band, dancing til my clothes are drenched.

I'd like to meet:

People whom speak, act and live from the heart. I value friendship, genuineness, loyalty, and respect. I enjoy being with people who are sympathetic, non-judging, sharp and witty, unique, and with a hunger for adventure and mischief. I love meeting people who have something to teach me and who want to learn from me as well. Give and take. I really enjoy people who are open.

I want fun, down to earth genuine sort of people. If you are level headed and well read it's a plus. Loyalty is important to me. If you can carry on an intellectual conversation when the time is right and be completely silly too... I'll adore you. I respect people of all religions and would describe myself as a "cosmically sensible yet humanly spiritual person".

I have fun going out but am not only the bar type so if you drink a lot and live in a bar you are not entirely for me. Snuggling on the couch, going to museums, going for a hike or walk in the park, biking, going for a coffee/tea to read the indy at your favorite coffee shop, art festivals, movies, ACC Basketball, restaurants, or going to a dive joint to throw darts or bowling are all activities I have fun with.

I have a soft spot for Southern Ladies & Unpretensious Yankees. If you think you would click with me just message me. Please me don't be shy.

Movies:

I've seen better film on teeth, than what's been coming out of Hollywood lately. So...

I make my own movies instead.

Television:

Sony Bravia 32", without cable.

However I do have an omni directional HDTV antenna to pick up all the local channels in High Def.

I do have a lot of movies to explore.

Books:

I think most of the books available to me right now are on the way out.

I never have the time to read books, but I read a lot online.

Heroes:

Jonah Henry Shook (My Son)

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though...
