I am here for Friends

About Me

About me....About me...okay, here goes.

I'm independent. However, money not growing on trees, I have roommates. I'm looking at getting a house in the near future, and have my eye on one that's going up for sale soon.

Lately, I've been taking care of my parents. Their health is declining, and I've been doing what I can to try to help. Unless I have other plans, that's what I'm usually doing on any given night.

I like occasionally going to the movies, or occasionally seeing a live band. I like cooking, my friends think I'm a great cook. I don't know if this is good, or it just means i'm better than hamburger helper. I like old retro cookbooks and video. I have a few old cookbooks and how-to books from the 50's and 60's, I have a few dvd's of old commercials, and I have SEVEN (count them!) dvd's so far of old drive in movie trailers and intermissions(yes, the dancing concession, 'lets all go to the lobby' is one of them. I like having old fashioned grillouts (when I'm living somewhere that allows them) and I like to stay out of the sun. I do karaoke at home, I have to belt it out every once in a while or else my musical tourettes takes over. I'm a big disney world fan. Its been my favorite vacation spot forever. I have a big nostalgia wave every time I think of it, esp the older stuff like the tiki room, pirates, haunted mansion. I like playing videogames or watching movies sometimes. I'm just as likely to go to a drive-in (Holiday Auto Theatre usually) to see a movie as I am the theater. Besides, regular theaters don't have things like dusk till dawn horror marathons.

Lets see...what else is me right now. Packing extra weight right now, but starting the diet/exersise again. I'm actively trying to meet new people, and I drive a minivan (sure, laugh it up) even though I have no kids, and I like to road trip when I can afford it...I think that's about it. I guess what I hope this profile has driven home is that I'm a nostalgiac nerd in his late thirties who is looking to meet new people that are worth knowing. If i can think of more nerd proof, I'll post it.

My Interests

Currently:Getting back in the habit of working out at the gym, friends, cooking, making friends laugh, photoshop wierdness, house hunting, screen printing, road trips, karaoke at home, meeting new people, making new friends.

I'd like to meet:

What I'm really looking for is someone who inspires me.
Someone who wants to do their thing, and wants me to do mine.
I don't want to meet people who get upset with me for working on my projects or hobbies.

While we're off in fantasy world here:

    Likes to drink on occasion. Tomboy, but wears skirts and dresses on occasion, even if they aren't going to a wedding or funeral. Puts as much effort into their fitness/weight as I do. (which the past couple months I'm guilty of slacking..) Knows how to swear, but when not to. Wears makeup, but doesn't freak out when they can't. Cares what I think and tells me what they think Is okay with working on art, web, design projects and doesn't nerd bash me. Is okay with having get togethers at the apartment/house Thinks some things, like saving for house and vacations and road trips are worth skipping some social events for.

Music:

Lately I've been listening to my Disney World cds, and XM radio. Currently digging: 5/6/7/8's, Nekromantics on Fungus XM, and surfing the various decades channels.

Movies:

Latest Movie I've seen: The Simpsons. ( i heart simpsons ) I have a HDDVD player, and the latest on there is: Hot fuzz, Shaun of the dead, Big Lebowski 1. Usually in the DVD player I have one of my sets in. Sealab 2021, Simpsons, Spaced, Danger 50000 Volts, Greg the Bunny.

Television:

I usually don't watch TV anymore. I used to watch Adult Swim. I turn on the tv to fall asleep at my parents house when i'm visiting them. Sometimes I watch food tv. I like simpsons, but I always miss it. I grew up with tv. My dad was the prototype couch potato. If it was a 60s or 70's tv show or tv movie, there's a real chance I used to watch it with dad.

Books:

The last book i think i read was the Dangerous Book for Boys. I'm not a big book person. I think school kinda burned me out on that one.
