Want it? Then come and get it. No? Your loss.

About Me

Quiet, divorced guy living in Tampa Bay area of FL. Laid back, easy-going, very patient...
Most people are put off by how quiet I am. I prefer to sit back and watch things take their course, until something needs to be done, then I step in (if needed). Most do not know how to deal with that.
Anything else, just ask.

Hmm, how 'bout this to think about:
I enjoy the 'going' part of "going places" more than the 'places' part.

If you want to know something, ask. I will be as honest as possible.
(Trying to add more as I think of it - lol)

My Interests

Ok this is the hard part (the part where you might start to think of me as a nerd or geek. lol), Sci-fi (Trek, B5, Stargate, Farscape, all good), computers a bit, reading sci-fi/fantasy. Used to be into making models, but the end result wasn't as good as it should have been, lol...
Puttering around the house, doing odds and ends.
Fishing when I get the opportunity, I go saltwater fishing down off the piers or from the shore.
I have traveled some, mostly out in the western US (love the Rockies), plus some of the eastern US and CA around Lake Superior. I was stationed in Germany in the USAF for a couple years, but did not get to see much else due to personal issues at the time :( .

So as to the nerd/geek part, I can spend hours figuring out a program and fixing it, or spend hours figuring out an engine and fixing it... go figure-lol. I like puzzles, programming, mechanical, word, logic, jigsaw, or whatever kind, it's what I do and am good at, figure out what's wrong with something, then fix it.

I'd like to meet:

Someone smart, sweet, and patient... 'nuff said for now. (and yes I really AM looking)

Something I'd like to find:
I would really like to find the source of this pic. I would love to have a print or even more preferrable, an actual painting of it. The site it comes from has no idea who the artist is. :(

Music:

Country is pretty much it, jazz, r&b, soft rock are all ok, but I really don't pay much attention to music anyway, so as long as it doesn't annoy me, it's fine.

Movies:

Sci-fi / fantasy as mentioned. LoTR gets 5 stars. Some action/adventure types. As with anything, some movies I like, some I do not.

Television:

Well, it's sorta TV, sorta computer game, StarTrek 2.0 is an interactive stock game, kinda wierd, but we have fun chatting and playing the game/watching the old TOS eps on G4TV (only good thing on that channel I believe). (pdtfin on IRC for the game)

Books:

Hmmm, well I have a bunch of Star Trek from years ago, lol. Anne McCaffery (PERN), Piers Anthony (Apprentice and Xanth), Tolkein, David Brin, Asimov (Foundation), and a bunch of others picked up over the years.

Heroes:

Well, as a public figure, I'd have to say John Glenn, Marine, Astronaut, Senator, and Corporate president... whether or not I agree with everything he does, he always stood by his principles.
Other than that, anyone who refuses to let standards be lowered so he or she can accomplish a goal. (there's more to it than that, but that's the general idea)

A thought I posted as a comment on a friends blog...

"you can never go back" maybe not to replace what was lost, but perhaps you can move ahead to something different, yet also fulfilling. I look at it this way: All the actions, decisions, forks in th...
