Just a man of my own convictions, I think. I don't really know. I don't have my other half to confirm what I feel or who I really am. I have been looking for whomever you are so that we can be together the way we are meant to be. I am well traveled in the U.S. and Canada. I prefer being by the ocean or a lake but can survive anywhere. I prefer that we start off by being REAL! I am: honest, monogamous and trustworthy, to a fault and I expect the same in my woman. I am a man of my word, albeit the timing sometimes between my word and my action gets a little out of whack, but I get around to it eventually. I am semi-retired, usually succeed at whatever I set my mind to, depending whether or not I have situations working against me or beyond my control. I did travel nationally in my work and activities. The adjustment of not doing that anymore is a bit of a shock, but I will live on. I would be out on concert tour as a road manager, lighting or pyro technician or driving a fancy rock-n-roll bus for the bands. I could be in court helping a Father fight for his rights in a custody battle to be an EQUAL parent to his child(ren), I could be in Washington, DC the week leading up to Father's Day for Father's and Children's Rights rallies, protests and conferences or working in the aviation industry overhauling large jet aircraft. A lot of that has slowed way down. Now I am looking to relax, snuggle up next to my woman and glide through the rest of our lives doing what WE want to do. I am a prior service Marine and I DO maintain the knowledge, integrity and discipline as well as a close relationship with the Marines and am an active member in the Marine Corps League. If we do become an "US", we will both meet halfway and will be extremely committed to owning each other, physically, mentally, mly as well as spiritually. We will bond as one, not by paper but by our love and spiritual thirst and need for each other. Our hearts will be the objects that will lust after each other, everything else will come naturally. We will enjoy the comforts of our new found territory and choose to move forward, together from that point. I LOVE children, yet that is not a prerequisite. I have 2 boys of my own, ages 10 & 11, soon to be going on 11 & 12 that I am searching for. I will find them, so realize this as a fact. There is no further discussion necessary on this matter. I am also the adoptive Father of two beautiful daughters, 9 & 12, I am their DAD. Big difference between Father and Dad, however, I am both. I see the girls as often as possible and I will always be there for them. I also have a military BDU, (Battle Dress Uniform) Supply business that takes me to area gun shows, which is kinda neat. When the time and opportunity permits, I like to go to the rifle or pistol range and punch holes in paper targets. If you like, I can teach you to shoot like a Marine. Except all you will be killing is time, ammo and paper targets.... It may not be a "girly" thing, but it does help build character, self-esteem and teaches you discipline, respect and more about yourself and your limits. I have not met anyone that does NOT like it, except Liberals, in which case you wouldn't have any business communicating me. So, other than THAT, let's get onto the playing field. Understand that there will be respect and wide-open-communication. If it builds into a relationship I will expect no less than, mutual, hardcore commitment to our monogamy or don't waste my time. I am focused on diving into life together for what WE want rather than go by what the latest fashion craze or fad dictates. As far as the screen name, don't be so shallow, it's a nickname given to me in the music industry. I'll explain more on that after we get to know each other better. I prefer totally open and honest from day ONE, well, maybe day two... after we get through breaking the ice and all that stuff. You will be perfect FOR ME, as I will be perfect for YOU. In the myriads of people out there, this is only another avenue used in my search for "YOU", so, the longer you hide out from me, the longer it will take for us to start enjoying what is supposed to be our "golden years" in life. I have ZERO tolerance for drugs, TATTOOS, obnoxious piercings and alcoholics. I don't need a billboard or a freakshow at my side and you don't want to surprise me with that "teeny, tiny little one that you didn't think I would mind..." WRONG! I am far beyond "hanging out with party girls". So if that's what you want, keep moving along. You want to screw around because you are too imature for a committed and monogamous relationship? Do so at your own expense. the LAST one that did that now lives with HIV and Hepaus C and cannot figure out for the life of her WHY I don't love her anymore??? If you have NO PHOTO then NO CONTACT PERIOD! I don't give a damn if you send 500 photos tomorrow, You are a day too late! Other issues that I will NOT accept are abusive, out of control psychotics, cheating s, liars and especially... JEALOUSY! If you are not matured and have civil control over your emotions and atude or character by now, you never will and I am not here to do charity work for a nutbag. I don't want to see pictures of your kitty cat, your eyeball, your sungles, you and "The girls" hanging out, your bare or , I don't want to see your highschool photos... I WANT TO SEE RECENT PHOTOS OF YOU! About this "Few extra pounds" science... Ladies, men can tell your weight by just looking at your face, so, better toss in a full body shot just to clear the air. We men have broken the "Code" to "A few EXTRA pounds". Yep! FEW still means THREE! If you are fat, say you are fat and get over it. You really won't look thinner in person. Big, Big, Big turn-off....TATOOS! If you are dumb enough to do something like that to your body, you are far to stupid to be involved in my life. I like new meeting people and I am very choosy as to whom I want to spend my rare private and intimate moments with. It has been quite a while, but I am confident that we will find each other. I will not settle for second best. I will not waste my time with chasing all over the country just to find some woman that I can murmer those three precious words to.... "Guess You'll Do!". It is going to be all or nothing. This will be my last dance. Biggest pet peeve? Women (Plural) that use the word WOMAN to mean PLURAL usage and vice-versa with the word WOMAN in a manner of plurality. If you don't know WHO you are or HOW MANY of you there are, we will have nothing in common. WOMAN - ONE WOMEN - MORE THAN ONE WOMAN. TWO OR MORE. FEW - THREE. Always has been, always will be. Deceptive Practices - A woman that snares her prey by applying an over abundant amount of make-up, prefume or baubles.... Ladies, in the morning, when you awaken and your makeup is all over the pillow and sheets... Do you really think your man will come back? Get back to the fundamentals and you will probably find life much more enjoyable and exciting.
