I choose to smile and make each day a good one. I am a witty guy and I love to laugh and smile. Sometimes I am the only one that thinks my jokes are funny... (guess that describes my sense of humour.) I have a couple college degrees, but I don't believe that makes you smart; That would be experience. Dating shouldn't be complicated, but in truth it's a scary time because you're trying to sell yourself as you are.. and sometimes some people will embellish what they think makes them attractive... and then that comes back to haunt them. I think if you're honest about who and what you are upfront then the girl will decide pretty quick if she wants to talk to you further... that's good for me because I don't want to be led by false hopes. I am not afraid of rejection.. people face it everyday.. but it's what you learn from it and use it as a positive and smile. It takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown!! :)

I have two cats that I love dearly. I have a job I like to do, but I want to grow professionally in new directions. I am alone most days, but I do have friends that I am in contact with everyday... I don't need someone, but I would like to be around someone that is not pessimistic.. and wants open communication. I don't try and withhold things... I want to shower my attention on someone I love, but not smother them. I want to hold hands in public, but also be the symbol of strength and love.

Family is important to me, because without my family I wouldn't be the man I am today.. if you were to ask someone that knew me well the would say that I am quiet but affectionate.. I am smart but I love a good joke. I love to laugh and make other people laugh.. I think humour is a gift that helps alleviate stress and tension.

Anyway, I am just a normal guy... I've decided to pursue my writing and my long term goals. I am currently writing a novel that I hope will be published someday... Maybe I can make a million dollar movie deal and set up my nephews with college funds... (Hey we can dream right?) I look for the positives everyday. I just hope that someday I can share my life with someone who can be real and be themselves.. and not pretend.

Life is too short for that.

I guess that's it... I just want someone that has similar values that I do... and has long term goals that I do... everything is gravy.
