I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a pretty straightforward individual composed of old-school values combined with new-school logic. ........ oh, almost forgot ... and I have an eternal case of chronic sarcasm.

My Interests

There are many - music, movies, computers, sports, reading, shooting pool, etc, etc, etc. While my interests run the gamut, my latest one I've been putting time into is my writing. Here's some of my work to enjoy:
