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

About Me

About me huh...?? Well, I'm a 37 year-old single white male living here in Carlstadt, NJ (Which is just outside NYC)

I'm tend to think of myself as more of a spiritual person, seeing that I'm not into organized religion. I try to have a good time in this short life without the use of drugs or alcohol which I gave up over 5 years ago while battling my own personal demons. This re-discovery of myself helps me get through life today with a humorous and sometimes sarcastic side, not to mention that I try not to take most things all too seriously.

As far as other areas of my life.. I'm a Service Dispatcher for a Worldwide Elevator Company, I'm a Volunteer Firefighter here in Carlstadt following the footsteps of my father, grandfather & those even older branches on my family tree. I enjoy music mostly, from listening to all types & styles, to playing the drums & guitar. I enjoy working on the computer whether I'm designing websites, working on some of my digital photography & graphic design projects, to just surfing the net.

Others say that I'm too giving of myself and I'm too nice, or just an olde' school gentleman, but in this day and age, that's something that you don't see much of so I don't mind the compliment.

Basically, I'm just trying to be the best "me" I can be and try to treat others as I wish to be treated. Just remember all you haters, Karma's a real bitch,

I'd like to meet:

Although there are few I would actually care to meet, I would rather have the chance to see those whom are no long in my life. I know that sounds a little unrealistic, but hey, it's my damn profile. Those that I speak of, who are still living, know who they are. Right, My Lobster.??
