I'm jus a happy guy, full retirement effective 30th June 2007 woo woo!! Free @ last!

About Me

Layout made by beechykeen27I sat watching the sunset and contemplating this crazy life of mine. A life sum say wasn’t s’pose to be, a life that’s been far from simple and filled with physical and emotional pain yet a life that I enjoy. I’ve never dwelled on the hardships that I’ve overcome nor the ones I know I will soon endure…I can’t control the future and I can’t change the past. I know who I am and where I belong and what I’ve done and I sleep well and I make no apologies. A fast summery of my life would be to say I turned a disaster into something good.I’m a purty easygoing guy and I’m told it’s easy to talk to me. I live alone and kinda like it that way. Work is sumthing that ended on 30th June 2007 when I was granted a full retirement...part of a serious budget issue my agency has been dealing with for more than a year. I enjoy photography and I also skate, bike ride, swim, jus bout anything to fill my time. I love people and I love life.The largest misconception about me are that I take everything too seriously and sum ppl think im always angry….a keyboard has no keys for idioms or voice tones so one shouldn’t judge by words typed on a screen, humorous sarcasm isn’t always obvious. I know who the liars are, even those who can't admit the truth to themselves...and I don't care about them or anyone else who spends time online trying to be someone they aren't...tho they can be kinda entertaining lol. Honestly I can’t say im satisfied with where I am right now cause I can remember when it was a LOT better not so awfully long ago buuuut I am comfy with my life and I'm learning to simplify everything now that I have time to do the things I've spent 20 years wishing I had time to do. Right now I divide my time between Indina where I own a five acre home and my original hometown of Simi Valley, California. Most of my time seems to be in Indiana tho I'd like to change that but I have responsibilities to my grandmother, my friends, and to myself. California will always be my first home, Florida my second home (1983-1993) and Indiana my third home. I have just a one rule for ppl who wanna contact me...have at least one pic. Your friend is the man who knows all about you and likes you anyway. Know who your friends are but know the heart of your enemy...it works better that way. I don't do hook ups so sorry if that's what ur looking for. I'm a criminologist now free from work and thinking of a teaching career...it's been offered several times. Lots of ppl like to ask me about my medical history, if you're about to have an open heart surgery feel free to hit me up and ask questions...I've had 4 of them so far. I've also been thru cancer and I'm in my second year of remission woo woo! I also have multiple other issues such as kypho-scoliosis, RLS, Rumatoid arthritis, and I'm in congestive heart failure...oh...I'm also anemic and due to my use of blood thinners I tend to endure events of internal bleeding. I've been thru a lot at work and with health issues...I've been shot at, I've been knifed in the back...twice even lol, I lost a lover to suicide, I've had people come to me with a variety of personal dramas such as teen pregnancy, runaways, violent divorces, drug addictions,plus people who've been victims of various types of fraud, and sum ppl who jus simply lost their way in life for a tad bit. I like helping people...it keeps me busy. I'm thinking of using my large Indiana house as a halfway house for those who've fumbled life and need a home while they get their second wind....but that's sumthing I'll do next year when I return from my trip to the grand canyon...its been 25 years since I've been thru Arizona and New Mexico. I'm also making return trips to Florida. I face sum momumental changes in the near future...the next 12 months will @ times be dramatic, hurtful, educational, and even frightening...but I've lived thru hell many times before...one more time wont kill me and if it does...@ least I had a lot of fun along the journey and I hope I helped a few ppl out @ educated a few others. As you can read...I'm complex and I don't hide anything...I prefer people who understand themselves and accept who they are. I despise ppl who try to be something they aren't. I also despise aging so I live purty near the life I lived twenty or twenty five years ago...its kinda kewl & easy and a whole lotta fun.......to hell with what anyone else thinks of me cause the only person held to answer for my life is me. I don't have a lot of family...my maternal grandparents raised me after my dad blew his head off in 1968 and my mom vanished...we found her after she died of an overdose in San Fransico in 1972. I have an abundance of aunt's and uncles and cousins.

I'd like to meet:



I’m not looking to actually meet anyone and if I were I’d be at a club not sitting in front of my computer. My online friends are restricted to internet chats and maybe an occasional phone chat and for those I truly trust I might consider a meeting should our paths physically cross.

Television:

Late dawns and early sunsets, just like my favorite scenes Then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen And the whole time while always giving Counting your face among the livingUp and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains Running away and hiding with you I never thought they'd get me here Not knowing you changed from just one bite I fought them all off just to hold you close and tightBut does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head... But would anything matter if you're already dead? And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger, Your eyes vacant and stained...But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head... And would anything matter if you're already dead? And now should I be shocked by the last thing you said? [Early Sunsets Over Monroeville lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]Before I pull this trigger, Your eyes vacant and stained... And in saying you loved me, Made things harder at best, And these words changing nothing As your body remains, And there's no room in this hell, There's no room in the next, And our memories defeat us, And I'll end this direst.But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head... But does anything matter if you're already dead? And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger, Your eyes vacant and stained... And in saying you loved me, Made things harder at best, And these words changing nothing As your body remains, And there's no room in this hell, There's no room in the next, But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?
