Live life so you don't ever wonder What if?

About Me

So here I am now in Beaverton OR, it was time for a change after living in Memphis for the last 20 years. I'm at a point in my life I can make a change like this and so I am getting settled into my new home. So yes, it looks like I have alot of friends, but actually I have about half of them in Memphis and half of them in Oregon. I've got new friends and new places to explore, I can't wait to get out and about more in the very near future. I take some pride in saying I have emailed, talked, or met most of the friends on my list so you guys are cool but you aren't just another pretty face.
I am Divorced and am a father of a 19yo adopted daughter. I work hard and have gained many good friends here on myspace. I am currently not looking to seriously date anyone. You are welcome to be my friend, hang out with me and my friends and if more comes along so be it, but I'm not looking.
I'm a good loyal friend, and will do just about anything I can to help my friends. It's just the kind of guy I am. Heh, with my limited resources sometimes that doesn't mean I can do much, but hey it's the effort that counts.

Ok more lil trivial facts about me... this has changed as some how my profile got corrupted so who knows what today's mood will bring out.
I love to go explore new places. I will drive until I get lost only to go find my way back. No better way to learn about a place. It's how I know Memphis like the back of my hand... hey I don't remember that freckle...
I love driving and listening to loud music
Love to go hiking and spend time outside
Black is my favorite color
That being said, a woman in black panties is damn sexy
I like a spectrum of music from Metal to Rock to Country to Classical depends on my mood
My Daughter is Adopted so yes she is very beautiful but I didn't participate in her being that way
I have an odd sense of humor but it works for me
Because I watch way too much History, Discovery and Military channel, I am a master of meaningless trivial information that can be fun at parties and other random conversational moments.
Since the divorce I miss doing all the dad stuff, holidays, birthdays, school activities, sports and all. Picture taking and music lessons, all the fun parenting stuff.
Photography is a hobby of mine, I am getting back into more now that I got a new camera
I also have a camera phone and have fun with it too.
I am a OSU football fan (That is Ohio State University) although I am kinda taking a liking to the Oregon State Beavers too.
I am a Cleveland Browns fan (true fans follow thier teams through the best and worst.... well being a Browns fan is some loyalty)
I enjoy watching Hockey and Football... and Baseball only if the Indians are in the playoffs.
I can be a perv at times, and a dork at others, but it's all fun regardless.
So I start a new job working with phones and networking and I am looking forward to the new challenges.
I am a fairly liberal minded and accepting person, my conservative friends call me a tree hugger, but I don..t swing that far to the left. I am really middle of the road, there are things from both sides I agree with.
I do believe in God but am not a religious person. I respect all beliefs and ask that you don't try to force yours on me.
I intend to go back to school and get a degree in Civil Engineering. The world needs more targets.
My glass is not half empty, nor is it half full, the glass is too big, always look at the real problem
Pat O'briens has the best burgers in Memphis, and a fun piano bar.
I do not tolerate liars and cheaters, if you do either to me do not expect me to be friendly
I am a hard guy to make mad, that isn't a challenge though
I wear my heart on my sleeve, yeah it gets hurt alot but one day someone will come along that knows how to take care of it and it will all be good.
I try to lead a drama free life, still somehow people in my life conspire against this.
I'm a good listener and always there for my friends when I can be
I am a good loyal friend, if we are friends I got your back, or a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen to your problems. I'm just sayin'
Check back as more things come to mind I will put them here.

Create Your Own

Music:

I listen to just about anything from Disturbed to Dierks Bently...Heavy Metal tops the list, Creed, Disturbed, OLD Metallica, Megadeth, Godsmack, Soil, Pantera, etc... But also enjoy Industrial, Alternative, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, country, anything really except for Rap or that metal/Rap mix bullcrap. Usually like Music with a little edge to it, but can get along with just about anything in moderation. Music sets the mood in my life.

Movies:

Love Actually, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Chronicles of Narnia, Walk the Line, Eurotrip (Only seen it like 50 times now) The Rundown, Indiana Jones series of movies, Star Wars, like all of them, Dawn of the Dead as well as Shaun of the Dead. Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Tombstone, Batman Begins, The Longest Yard (new and old school). The Terminal, 10 things I hate about you, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Forrest Gump. Evil Dead and The Army of Darkness (Hail to the King, gimme some sugar baby) The Matrix series, Highlander (there should have only been one...movie that is) Braveheart, Austin Powers movies, Pitch Black, Chronicals of Riddick, the Alien series, the Predator movies (note separation, I dunno AVP was ok too I guess.) Equilibrium was a good one too. Lethal Weapon Series, Passion of the Christ, The Road Warrior, the Last Samurai, i, robot, Independence day, War of the Worlds, Lord of War, Casino Royale, Over the Hedge, Sahara, Failure to Launch, Walk the Line... I can go on, as you can see I am all over the place with what I like on my movies. Funny, sad, action, adventure, thrillers I am there for it. Free cable helps.
Gimme some sugar baby.
Which B-Movie Badass Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Television:

HBO stuff mostly, Deadwood, The Sopranos, Rome. Watch the History Channel or the Military Channel when not watching any of the movie channels. Occassionally find a college football game or hockey game when they are in season.

Books:

Looking at my bookshelf I see Douglas Adams, Stephen King, Anne Rice and Tom Clancy the most, just about anything from them is a good read. Also like finding good humor books as well.
