If you ever reach the bottom of a pit of self-disdain and depression, will there be anyone there for

About Me

I am a good, kind, caring man. The last of a dying breed. A FREEMAN. That's all that needs to be said about it.

My Interests

I like to sit around and talk. Billiards is fun, too. Mostly I like to sit alone and smoke.

I'd like to meet:


Your Deadly Sins
Sloth: 60%
Greed: 20%
Lust: 20%
Envy: 0%
Gluttony: 0%
Pride: 0%
Wrath: 0%
Chance You'll Go to Hell: 14%
You will die while sleeping - and no one will notice. How Sinful Are You?
You Are 1: The Reformer
You're a responsible person - with a clear sense of right and wrong.

High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them.

You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you're not perfect.

You have the highest integrity, and people expect you to be fair. What Number Are You? Let me clear one thing up: yes, I do have a $2100, three stone, one carat, white gold engagement ring with baguettes that I am holding onto and am keeping safe. I bought it for one woman and one woman alone. If you are not her and we end up married, then you get a $350 one just like my first wife, because quite frankly, I feel like a woman has to achieve a certain level of greatness to be worthy of anything extra from me. You probably ain't her, so don't act suprized. Actually, now that I think about it, I've met six women in my life that would qualify for the level of greatness that I desire in a wife and would do anything for. One is now married, three live several hundred miles away, and two are in relationships that I believe to be serious. Anyway, that is a mute point, because not a one of them was ever interested in me. Although, I think I've found another woman that meets my criteria recently, but I seriously doubt my ability to get her interested in me. So, while we are on this subject, let me give you some of the traits that I desire in a woman, the ones with the stars beside them are a necessity. (1)Must be a good mother***** (If you don't have children, you gotta at least FEEL like you will be to me) (2)Intelligence***** (You don't have to be as smart as me, or anywhere nearso, you just have to not be stupid) (3)Honesty** (If you are honest about yourself, then I will respect you, and respect myself for having you) (4)Beauty*** (It's in the eyes of the beholder, and I may seem shallow, but I'm looking for someone to pass my genes on with) (5)A work ethic (6)A Christian (7)Sanity (Not really all that important, if you're good enough otherwise, I can work with a lot) (8)A sense of frugality (9)Ability to budget your money* (I am in no way rich, and if I am ever gonna have anything, it starts with saving now) (10)Love for me (Not important, I may be asking too much of anyone for that) Actually, and this is me at my most honest, if you know the second woman that I ever fell in love with, then you have a clue about exactly what I'm looking for, because she is the first person I've ever found that so perfectly fits nearly every single one of my preconceptions of the perfect woman. She is an outstanding mother, the only equal or better to my intelligence that I've ever run across, the most beautiful woman in the world, and all things considered an exceptionally great woman that has a big heart, even if it doesn't always show. The kind of woman that I can forgive for anything and wake up every morning wondering just what I can do to make her day as good for her as I possibly can. I doubt that I can ever find another anywhere near like her.

Music:

I'll listen to just about anything. I prefer stuff like Coldplay, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Perfect Circle, Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie, and Nightwish, though. I really like to lie down and listen to my Coldplay record for hours and just remember the better parts of my life for hours.

Movies:

I'm not too big on movies. Click with Adam Sandler made me cry, however.

Television:

I like to watch science fiction. The new Battlestar Galactica is my favorite show. I also like sappy stuff like The L Word and Grey's anatomy. South Park is the mother fucking bomb!!!

Books:

I like to read novels. Preferably science fiction or fantasy.

Heroes:

Anyone who comes up from nothing and makes something of their life. My father, my second love, can't really think of anyone else.

The world is full of lazy people, and that's why marriage is dying.

Hey, I answered someone else's blog today with a comment, and I felt that it would make a blog in of itself.  Mostly in answer to does anyone know when a relationship spirals out of control? ...
