The list keeps growing because I'm part of: http://www.ironthonggolf.com. I try to keep my handicap updated in my BLOG.
I always have about 20-40 Honey-Do projects lined up around the house, just never the money to get em done. :P
My tastes vary with adult beverages. I like German wheat beer, Dos XX, Bud Light, and Corona. I drink both red and white wine and like Port--check out WineStyles, great wine club in San Antonio. I also like vodka with cranberry juice or Red Bull.
I'm pretty much a non-smoker, but I don't have anything against smokers. I do; however, smoke cigars once in a while...maybe twice a month. "It's a hobby, not a habit."
I've seen the effects of drugs on people and I don't like it...not something I do or condone.
I like working out with weights and prefer working out with someone motivating. I belong to Gold's Gym and normally work out at Fiesta Trails, but have worked out at Crossroads too.
For fitness and enjoyment I like to swim, but I prefer pools over lakes and rivers.
When exercising, I like to ride the recumbent bike...I actually own one.
I've really got into running in 2006, thanks to a friend of mine. I've belong to a couple Hash Groups here in San Antonio.
I used to study Karate, but never in a belt system. I'd love to get back into it, but no time. I've been toying with cardio kickboxing though.
I like going out to socialize, drink, and dance with friends. I can two-step and swing a little and would like to learn more. Mostly just get drunk and look stupid, but it works for me.
I love San Antonio's nightlife. Some of the cool places I've been are Champs, Flying Saucer, Sherlock's, Polly Esters, Midnight Rodeo, Cowboys, Rebar, Broadway Bar, Swigs, Howl at the Moon, Holligans, Pat O'Brien's, BarFly, The Falls, Roxy's, Swigs, Chango's, Copa, and Cigar Bar.
I'm very involved with the military and my community as a volunteer.
I'm pretty involved with my Home Owner's Association and am the past president of the HOA for our 156 homes.
I've been an active Toastmaster since Oct 2000. I'm an ATM-B and CM, if you know what that means.
I've worked at the highest levels with the Air Force Sergeants Association. Been active with them since 1992.
My most rewarding volunteer involvement was as a Board of Director of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Tri-Counties in California.
I like reading science fiction and fantasy, but lately all I read is work-related technical stuff or school-related material. I also like to write...I'm actually working on several ideas for books and magazines. I've developed several newsletters and websites and even one 30+ page online book.
I love to travel...see the About Me section to see where I've been.
I like to tent camp and I've always wanted to doing some backpack camping.
I like to canoe and kayak (the open style kayaks...not the closed.) I've taken a three-day camping trip in a canoe and it was a blast.
I like striking off into the outback with a Camel Bak and nature as my guide. Government Canyon is really nice here in San Antonio for this type of activity. I also really enjoyed the times I've been to Big Bend. But, I've hiked all over the world and always love it.
I am big into computers (i.e., games, Internet, web design, and programming); I have even set up a LAN in my house (I think that's cool at least).
I also love photography...mostly scenic/landscape/architecture stuff. I'm somewhat of an amateur photographer...to look at some of my work, go to my profile pictures. I have several locations posted and continue to add to the list.
If you care, ask more...I dare you. :)
I'd like to meet:
I like to see this when I log into MySpace...
Where I call home...
So, who do I want to meet?
If you want to be my friend, then don't just add/accept my add request...I expect friends through MySpace to "talk." If I have actually "met" you, this proceeding rule doesn't apply, but if not, when I send you a message, you read it, and then ignore me, you'll be gone. I don't need to waste my time in one-sided conversations. Generally I look for people with similar interests to have as friends, but I'm not too picky.
More than a friend. Well, I'm pretty picky when it comes to more then friends. Honestly, I would expect you to feel the same way...probably why I'm single (grin). I prefer someone between 5'6" and 5'11" to effectively match my height. I'm not opposed to shorter or taller, just like that height the best...a woman that is taller then me in heels does not intimidate me. I'm looking for someone who is a professional and has goals, aspirations, and is dedicated. You don't have to be rich and famous, but I'm not looking for someone that needs their decisions made for them. Again, a woman that makes more then me does not intimidate me--I am very successful and I know that money isn't everything when it comes to success. Chemistry is very important...I wouldn't say there is a certain "look" that I go for, but finding someone physically appealing to me is important. I may not be the most physically fit person in the world, but I do take care of myself and I expect that of you. Being with someone that takes care of themself actually motivates me to work harder and I'd like to have a workout and running partner in my life. If you golf, that's a huge plus, because I love the game and if you don't get into it, you won't see much of me as I'll be on the course...I'd like a partner on the links as well as in life and that's difficult to find. I'm not hung up on age (plus or minus) and if you aren't then we'll get along fine. You must be a very sexually active person and obviously we have to work well together in that arena...in my mind, this is a very important part of a relationship. I like to eat out a lot, I like local live music, I'm always on the go, I'm an active volunteer, and I'm looking for that match. Who knows, maybe you're out there?
Music:
Keeping ths simple...I like a wide array of music genres. I don't like most Rap music and I'm not into really Heavy Metal or acidic tones, like hard punk. I really like New Age (like Enya and Yanni), Jazz, and Americana because I think when I listen to it...thus I write when I listen to it. I like good dance music, whether it's rock, pop, hip hop, swing, or country (& western). I like a good jazz club, like the Cigar Bar in Stone Oak Plaza, where I can relax, smoke a cigar, and enjoy music with friends. If you haven't heard Brandon Rhyder or Laura Marie yet (just a couple of the local artists on my page), you should check them out! Local music is my favorite. Some of the places you can listen to local live music: Luna, Rolling Oaks, Sam's, Casbeers, Cigar Bar, The Landing, Swig's, Chango's, and Candelight Coffeehouse.
Here's some music I like
Movies:
I like many types of movies and some I just don’t care for.
I like watching movies in the theater, but usually reserve that for the
ones I think will look good on the big screen.
Otherwise, I go for the DVD or HBO versions.
These are the genres I prefer:
Action, Adventure, Epic/Myth, Fantasy, Science Fiction
Crime, Detective Story, Courtroom Drama, Gangster
Comedy
Coming-of-Age Drama, Love (Romance), Social Drama
Thriller, Horror: I can enjoy like the tense horror without a lot of gore,
like Alien, I am Legend, or the first Riddick movie…senseless gore horror
movies like The Hills Have Eyes or Saw are really just stupid to me.
The Black Comedy
Art Films
Historical Dramas
Musicals
Westerns
Television:
You have time to watch TV? If so, we need to get together...I'll take you away from it all. If I watch TV, normally it's only for a specific sports event. If I'm wasting time, I turn on a movie. TV series tend to pull me in and I don't have time to get caught up in a regular series. Nothing about my life is "regular." Well, almost nothing. :P
Books:
I find myself readin more business, leadership, and management stuff these days, but my likes are Sci-Fi/Fantasy with a little Espionage thrown in. I also read Runner's World Magazine and several golf magazines.
Does Porn constitute reading? (grin)
Heroes:
My Mom...she told me I could always do anything I wanted to (i.e., set my mind to) and she was right. She caused me to be very goal-oriented.
My Dad, just cause. He's dedicated his life to serving the community and doing the right thing and I try to do the same thing.
People who give of themselves and ask little or nothing in return--people who are passionate about what they believe in.
I've also worked with a few people that I really respected and looked up to as well. I try to emulate the good and learn from the bad. :)
My favorite quote is: "You never stand
taller then when you stoop to help a child."
Damn Looters! Read 'Atlas Shrugged' and understand.
"Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all." Letter of Instructions to the Captains of the Virginia Regiments (July 29, 1759), George Washington.
