(under construction!) --- come to think of it, maybe that is not a bad description to begin with concerning myself.
I guess I would describe me as a 25 year old man trapped in a 56 year old body. In my mind, I'm as young as I ever was, but I find more and more things that either I don't want to do or simply can no longer do.
I have more "life-knowledge" than I ever did, yet I seem to truly understand people less and less. So many people these days are only interested in pleasing themselves. It is all about them! Self-centered people are a real turn off to me. If I call someone a friend, it means I will go to the mat for them in any situation. I won't say things bad about them behind their back, and then pretend to admire and appreciate them to their face. But I find most folks today truly only want friends for what they can get OUT of the relationship. Frankly, I don't need those sorts of friends. Maybe that's why I don't have a great many folks around me that I call FRIEND. That doesn't mean I'm not friendly. Or that I act towards others in some uncivil manor. I was raised by a father that loved everyone. He taught me to accept people for who they are, not for who we want them to be. At the same time, I have learned while attending UHK (University of Hard Knocks) that not everyone who claims to be your friend is worthy of the title. So I guess the first thing one needs to know about me is that you will need to prove yourself worthy to be called my true FRIEND.
The second thing people need to know about me is that money and "things" in this life don't really mean much to me. Like the apostle Paul, "I have learned that in whatever state I find myself, to be content." The Good Lord above has blessed me wonderfully and I give him the credit for anything I have or may be able to do. But I don't look at my lands or houses or the vehicle I may drive as being the source of my worth. I do hope I don't ever loose what I have, but I believe I could be content even if I had to do without these old things -- things that I will someday leave behind anyway. I want to have enough to pay my bills, to please my wife, and to share with others in some way to make their life a little better off. Other than that, none of it really matters much.
So drop me a line, send a friend request, whatever. If I like what I see I'll get back to you. If you annoy me I'll tell you so. And if you are looking to get to me then know this one thing: You'll bite off more than you can chew!

My Interests

Myspace Comments


I love college football, and some NFL football (though the greed of the athletes and owners has about soured me on the pro stuff). I like working with my cattle, raising calves for market and to add to my herd of about 60 cows. Nothing is prettier than a newborn calf discovering his new world and being nurtured by his momma. A good dog is a necessity, and the Good Lord has blessed me with some good ones during my life (and tested me with a few intellectually challenged ones as well). And of course, I can't leave out my four grandkids. They are pretty special as well.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet people here that just want to be a friend for humor and fellowship -- or to be a friend to those that might need a listening heart or an honest opinion.

I am not impressed by people of fame and fortune like so many seem to be these days. In fact, I find Hollywood and the MTV crowd as a rule a turn off. I like to meet people that are genuine and down to earth. An artist who takes pride in his painting, a machinist who can craft a new part, or an electrician who will repair an old lady's light switch and leaves with a "we'll catch you next time" are the type of people I had rather rub shoulders with.

I would like to personally meet Billy Graham. A man of integrity and good intentions is rare to find these days. A man that can be that person for more than 80 years is like a fine diamond. I'd like to tell him "thank you" for helping me see years ago that there is a God who I will stand before some day, and that even though I am not good enough to call Him Father, He made a way to call me His Child. That means when I leave this old world I'll have a home in another place waiting on me. I know most people find that corny, but then they aren't responsible for my actions, I am.

Music:



Glitter Graphics & Comments

Give me good country music like Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Trent Black, The Oakridge Boys, Allen Jackson, Dolly, George Jones, and that legend Marty Robbins used to sing. Anything from the 50's and early 60's I can usually appreciate and enjoy. If you play your rap junk around me I'll smash your music box. And today's rock-n-roll and a lot of the hip-hop isn't anything more than a bunch of noise all crammed into one track. My GRANDKIDS BEATING ON POTS AND PANS MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN THAT!

Movies:

Anything with Mel Gibson, Danzel Washington, Sean Connery, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, or Robert Duvall will do. Two of my all-time favorites: 1)Robert Duvall and Tess Harper in "Tnder Mercies ------- 2)Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour in "Somewhere in Time". They don't make many like that any more.

Television:

I don't watch near as much TV as I once did. I enjoy NCIS, CSI, "24", Without a Trace, The Unit, and sometimes NUMBERS. I can't stand most of the new sitcoms. And Barf-Simpson you can keep at your place. Survivor was OK the first couple of seasons, but I don't spend my time on it anymore. None of the other reality shows excite me.

Books:

I am a good reader, but not a fast reader, so I don't enjoy reading as much as I once did. I enjoyed the "Left Behind" series. I read the Bible for knowlege and personal growth. And once in a while I'll pick up an old classic or Louis Lamour book and get lost in it for a day or so. But right now I have three or four books that I've started but haven't finished for about a year. I'm more likely to spend an hour or two reading news stories on the old 'puter.

Heroes:

Men that display character in spite of overwhelming odds or adversity. Roy Rogers, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne types. My dad and my wife's dad were both such men. Easy going and humble on the outside, but not willing to bend to peers or foes when it comes to principles.
