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

About Me

I'm a 25-year old guy trapped in a 41-year old body! Actually, I'm young in spirit and learning to accept that I'm a...(long pause and deep breath)....middle-aged man. In fact, people might say that I'm a little long-in-the-tooth to have a MySpace account, but, I'm finding it's a great way to meet new people, stay in touch with distant friends and even reconnect with some old friends I've lost touch with.I'm a proud resident of Lexington, Kentucky -- one of the most beautiful cities on earth. I like dispelling myths about Southerners, so if you have a preconceived notion about who we are or our culture, chances are I can change your mind. I generally don't subscribe to labels of any kind, so don't try to slap one on me. There are so many facets and layers to who I am that trying to pinpoint one characteristic and pigeon-holing me for that single nuance is really sorta petty, don't ya think?I was in a 10-year relationship with someone that I loved deeply, but who, unfortunately used up the second cheat card. (Cheated on me once back in '99 and I left; we reconciled, and damned if I didn't get cheated on again 5 years later! I'll usually give anyone a second chance; but cheat on me twice and I'm outta there!) After being single for 2 years after that, I dated a really nice person from Chicago for about a year, but unfortunately, it just didn't work out and we recently split. I'm still hoping we can remain friends, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. At this point, I'm just hoping to make some new friends, maybe go on a date or two, and see where things go. I'm not looking to jump right into a relationship, but I would like to have someone special in my life, eventually leading to a LTR.I'm a super-nice guy who will talk to almost anyone (except for an escaped convict -- and I'm not 100% sure that I wouldn't try to interview him), so if anything I've said has struck a chord with you, feel free to say hi!

My Interests

Well, I once told someone that when I log onto Amazon.com, I go into a trance, so I guess online shopping would be an interest (LOL). I love art galleries and art fairs, live concerts, museums (which is why Washington, DC is one of my favorite cities), fine dining to casual dining (oh who am I kidding? - I just like to eat), groovy little martini bars, ocean-front hotel rooms, long walks on a warm summer night and being in the company of anyone who can make me laugh. I'd love to travel more extensively than I have...I have an itch to cruise the Greek Isles, which I hope to do within the next 5 years. And if I were able to swing through Italy along the way, my feelings wouldn't be hurt.

I'd like to meet:

New friends, old friends, people I've encountered that didn't become a friend, old enemies....anyone with a good heart and a positive outlook on life.

Music:

Being a friend of Dorothy, it's almost a requirement that I like dance music...which, fortunately, I do. But, I've found that I'm growing a little weary of it lately (gasp!), although I still like a tune that makes me wanna shake my junk. I'm diggin' on Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics" right now -- love the Candyman video!! It reminds me so much of Bette Midler and the movie "For the Boys", which is one of my favorites! And I'm totally enamored of Michael Buble. That man could sing to me anytime!! .....And lastly, although it's a little out of the ordinary for me, I do like a lil bit of country. If you wanna hear some fresh country/rock tunes, check out my dear friend Buffy's band, Bomshel, which is in my friend list. They're an up-and-coming duet that are like nothing you've seen or heard. Buf's been a close friend for years, and I'm so happy that all her hard work is finally paying off! So check them out - you'll be pleasantly surprised! Remember the name - "Bomshel" - you'll be hearing it a lot more in the near future...and you'll be able to say you were one of the firsts!

Movies:

I have such a wide variety of tastes in movies. I like foreign film, black-and-white classics, romantic comedies, tear jerkers, action flicks, horror (supernatural stuff really scares me) and gross-out humor. I just can't do westerns or musicals! (I know, I know...they'll be revoking my membership to the F.O.D. club very soon -- although to placate them, I have to say that I do love Auntie Mame - the Rosalind Russell edition, of course). A few favorites that come to mind are The Piano, Steel Magnolias, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Mommie Dearest (of course), Now Voyager, Serial Mom, and Sordid Lives. And if Bette Midler is in a movie, there's a 99.9% chance I'm gonna love it. I adore that woman...I should have added her up in the music category too. I've worn out the soundtrack to "For the Boys." And I just found out that Miss M. just released a Christmas album and all I can say is ... it's about damned time!

Television:

TV is a dangerous category for me. I think I OD'd on reality TV the last few years, and much like the dance music, I'm beginning to grow weary of it. Shows I try not to miss include Desperate Housewives (naturally), Nip/Tuck (sexy, sexy show!), Prison Break (yeah, the roughness does a little something for me), and My Name is Earl, just to make sure I don't forget my country cousins. When I can, I'll catch an episode of Law & Order SVU (Christopher Meloni, anyone?). Oh, and I still do the "reality" thing to some extent...I love Project Runway, Top Chef, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance and the audition segments of American Idol. I'm always amazed at how many people have no self-awareness! And lastly, I have to give a shout out to the Food Network, which has actually made a fairly decent cook out of me. (Paula Deen - love ya girl!).

Books:

Do magazines count as books? If so, Consumer Reports, Automobile, Details, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Instinct, Out, and the supermarket tabloids are among my regulars.

Heroes:

People I admire are those that follow their heart, people that treat others with respect and kindness, people that love animals, and people that laugh genuinely and unashamedly from their souls. Anyone that has the courage to be true to themselves and maintain a sense of decency along the way, all while trying to leave each place they've been a little better, are certainly heroic in my eyes.
