SquidBob "leaf in a stream" sometimes!!!

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

About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------This needs to be updated.... It's from August '07.... So here I am, finally cashed out of my suburban Atlanta house and moved to the lake. Shadow and I have been going for boatrides in the mornings. So calm it's beautiful even in my little "Peanut" boat. I've also renovated a 25 foot S2 sailboat. I grew up in Ohio and moved to Atlanta after being an advisor to the Viet navy, mostly doing weapons interdiction on the Mekong river. Strange times; beautiful people and places, punctuated with periods of tremendous excitement???... I love my life and will always remember to not take it for granted... I'm single, have a rescued dog and cat, love kids, my friends, neighbors, and family though I've lost both parents. I really miss my Dad and appreciate the wisdon he shared with me over the years. I hope to meet a nice woman here for penpals, friendship, dating, and in time, a comitted relationship. I'm probably a bit too self-sufficient, but feel I'm missing a lot by being so. I'm pretty active, stay in shape, and have a positive attitude... This is sounding more like a dating profile than an "about me" I'm also on here to stay in touch with old friends and make new ones. I guess I'll have to "pimp my page" one of these days with more pictures etc. But for now, I have too many projects with the house, the boat, and just enjoying life! More later ------------------------------------------------------------ F.Y.I. Eva Cassidy is now gone, but her optimism is still with me every time I hear "Wonderful World" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I've noticed how many people on here can't describe themselves but their music and pictures show so much about them. I really like it. ------------------------------------------------------------ "It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art... That's life."-----------------------

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My Soulmate! My Wingman, eventually, for all the help when I really needed it. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- This is kind of long, but it just knocks me out. It reminds me to appreciate what is and not worry about things in the world I can't fix.... It's still a beautifull planet. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------JFK, They don't make Democrats like that anymore.... ---------------------------------------George "W" Bush... Why can't anybody remember you in Alabama??? Why can't you remember them??? I'll never forget those I served with... Carl Rove, draft-dodger and political spinner. I'd just like to have a few words.... War profiteer Cheney, but only if I'm armed and I can wear a vest... My Guardian Angels and any fellow River Rats from my time in the Delta, Bin Laden...I'd take him out for free! It shouldn't take an army and 3 TRILLION in tax dollars to "neutralize" one terrorist and one dictator that our foreign policy helped to create!!! Am I the only one that remembers Reagan giving Sadaam the chemical weapons??? GEEEZ!!! He supplied weapons to Bin Laden as well... and nobody can remember it. Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, Dali Lama, Mother Teresa Oprah Winfree, Jimmy Dolittle, Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Michelangelo; Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Jesus Christ, Buddah and Mohammad(eventually)... and any of my fellow gunboat riders from the Delta... ------------------------------------------------------------

I wish I'd written this, it's so true for so many of us....

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness, inside you Can make you feel so small But I s...

Tax or Tea???

I ordered tea six years ago... Why did it take 850 BILLION to pop one Dictator??? The best of the Navy I knew on the Mekong would pay for the one bullet it takes themselves.....
