Friends and people with similar interests.. I am not looking for a hookup.. I enjoy meeting real people who share a respect for life and for fun.

Music:

I love all kinds of music. I grew up listening to Country so I have a lot of country roots when It comes to music. Dolly is one of my favorites, but the so is Cher. I can go from Classical, to Bluegrass and it just depends on my mood..Sordid Lives... Now who's to judge who's a saint and who's a sinner Lord, it's tough enough to trudge from brunch to dinner We seek the light of truth between our white lies We sleep away our youth under tattletale skiesNow who's to say who's a sinner and who's a saint Who's to say who you can love and who you can't Now it's easy for the pot to call the kettle black They're just jealous of the hot and lusty sordid lives they ledAin't it a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives It's a bitch when you come to realize got yourself a box of Cracker Jacks then you get a really shitty prize It's a bitch sortin' out our sordid livesNow we struggled comin' down the chute to take our first breath and we struggle for acceptance from birth to death But the Lord's too busy tryin' to keep the world on it's feet He ain't got time to give a damn about what goes on between the sheetsAin't it a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives It's a bitch when you come to realize got yourself a box of Cracker Jacks then you get a really shitty prize It's a bitch sortin' out our sorry little sordid lives

Books:

I love to read and have a wide interest in the books I love. I suppose fiction is my favorite and SciFi being my least favorite. Books are a weakness of mine. I can spend hours in a bookstore browsing books and then buying an arm load. I also have a hard time getting rid of books that I purchase..Antique books are another favorite of mine. I have several collections of old books and works of authors.

Heroes:

My Grandfather was one of my hero's growing up.. He worked for the same company for 50 years, retired, came down with Parkinsons Disease and eventually died. He busted his ass for all those years to enjoy his retirement and couldn't. It was all taken away from him. Sometimes life really sucks. When he was in the end stages he didn't know many people. He kept having flashbacks from when he was in WWII. People talk about post tramatic stress in the later wars, What about those men and women who fought in the wars before??? Do you think it didn't affect them??? They just weren't allowed to discuss it.My paternal Grandmother was another Hero.. She taught me the value of voting and about our political system. I took her to vote her last time before she died. She was very sick and I called her to see if she had voted. She had never missed an election. She said no, that she didn't feel like driving up there. So I quickly drove to her house, told her she wasn't going to miss an election and made her go vote. It as close to the polls closing and she was the last person in our town to vote. Then she wanted to stay and wait for the results. So.. if the only thing that is on the ballot is voting for Dog Catcher, I will be there voting. I haven't missed a chance to vote yet...My Mom. Somehow she managed to raise four sons and survive. She went back to college once we were old enough and started her career late. She has not gotten to do all of the things she wanted to do in life.. Hopefully I will be able to help her there.My son... Yes, he is young but he is a hero of mine. He has had to learn how to live life being the son of a Gay man. I love him to death and he is a beautiful human being. He has always had a different outlook on life and I respect that. God gives you things for a reason. And I am thankful that he gave me my son...
