If you are reading my profile, you obviously got past my one sucky picture. Whoops, sorry, I deleted it. I knew that it sucked and my ex got the cameras and I am too cheap to buy another one. Hmmmmm.....perhaps that would make a great first date idea. You could take pictures of me and then I could sell them to you afterwards! Now, wouldn't that be special. But, I warn you, flattery will get you everywhere. Some of my more memorable dating experiences from here include the scenarios of The Stripper, Grandma Strikes Again, Felony Episode Number One, and the one and only - The Great Prison Escapade. If you would like a detailed version of any of my wonderful, stunning, and simply charming experiences, just ask and oh yes, please make out your money order to Peaks14000. That way, you are not technically sending money as forewarned by the noble, yet tremendously helpful administrators. Look at it this way - you would simply be making a contribution to my rehab efforts. Anyway, I am from the Land of Lincoln - I like SpongeBob, Family Guy, Barney Miller, and many, many others. I am ly organized (like an illness) and generally throw newspapers away before I read them. I have been employed in the criminal justice area for almost my entire adult life. I am six feet three inches tall and weigh 205 pounds. Well, I can be a quiet and shy guy at first but have been told that I have a terrific sense of humor. After you get to know me, I open up and am actually great to be around - that is my opinion obviously and my opinion is the only one that counts. Besides, if for some incredible reason you don’t believe me, simply ask. I will swear to everything that I lie about. I like to do lots of different things including traveling, reading, and watching old black and white movies - especially James Stewart, Bogart, and Cagney movies. I love going on long drives also - just jump in the car and go! I am a writer and have had articles published in the past, a couple of research projects also. I like old cars, hot rods and once had a Pontiac Trans AM that would do 160 MPH! That is how I stay young by the way. I love ice cream, tacos, fried chicken, steak, and chops. I love the smell of freshly mown gr, like watching it snow, love the ocean, and absolutely love puppies and old dogs - puppies because they are funny and old dogs because they are like good friends. Let's see, I am well educated, graduated from Illinois State University, and recently moved to Colorado from Illinois for employment purposes. While there is nobody perfect, the lady that I seek would be sy, yet serious, funny, yet perfectly sweet, comfortable in an old pair of jeans, yet at ease in a knockout gown. Major flaws - guess that I should mention them - let's see - I have none! Yeap, none whatsoever. Actually, perhaps a minor flaw or two - I yell loudly in traffic and complain about old ladies and men who drive too slowly. But what's wrong with that? That about sums me up. First date ideas - Depends - How about taking better pictures of me? I will even let you buy me dinner afterwards -how does that sound? It would have to be a five star restaurant however. If you did not want to do that, you could give me the cash instead - no checks please.
