If I knew then what I know now...

About Me

There's not a whole lot to tell. I moved from the Central Shore area of NJ to the Poconos of PA in May of 05 and I'm still adjusting to a new "life". I'm a quiet, shy person for the most part especially around new people or large groups. Once anyone takes the time to get to know me they see I have a dark sense of humor with no out of bounds, I'm dependable and an over all decent person. I'm your typical jeans and t-shirt, laid back kind of guy. Old fashioned in a lot of ways and I don't easily fit well in too many places especially now a days so I can be found doing my own thing where I'm more comfortable. If that makes me sound like a loner it's because I am lol I'm not into bars really, hate clubs, fiercely loyal to those that deserve it and passionate about sports.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace

My Interests

I spend way too much time and money on bowling but I enjoy it.....most days. I'm in 2-3 leagues per week and practice when I can in an effort to keep getting better. I set a career best Summer average with a league leading 221 at Summit Lanes. I also had my first league honor score of 299 at the end of Oct. So bowling keeps me busy otherwise I like to exercise, go fishing (salt water or fresh), movies, music, performance cars, trips to Dickson City, etc.

I'd like to meet:

More people with similar interests and a good single woman who understands me to settle down with. I'm already settled down, have been for years just waiting for the right one to join me.

Music:

I'm varied....big time. Tool, Alanis Morissete, Beyonce, Public Enemy, Eminem, popular 80s music, popular 90s music, today and pretty much anything in between BUT I can be selective with certain artists. I never really cared for heavy metal or country and still don't.

Movies:

I like anything. Gory, funny, stupid humor, ocassional tear jerker, action you name it. I'm always picking up DVDs to watch on the big screen.

Television:

TV for me consists of ESPN, Survivor, SNL, The Office, Mad TV, a few 1/2 hour shows or reruns and what ever sports events are on. When the Yankees or NY Giants are on I can be found in front of the 52". I'm addicted to Planet Carnivore, you can add in Most Haunted as well.

Books:

I don't read much, I need to work on that.

Heroes:

Our men and women in the military.

The season is winding down...

Most of my leagues are 6 weeks away from being over. For the year so far I can't say it's been a good year or a bad one. The upside is the 299 and 290 honor scores plus the 784 series in a league whic...

Still not there but inching closer...

Well for a few weeks there I was bowling under 600 now and again which I'm not happy about. Stupid mistakes on my part, not choosing the right ball or the right line and some times just plain bad luck...
