Looking to date in Orlando, love Theme parks, movies, concerts and dining out.


Wow, where to begin. Well I am recently "divorced" from my "wife" of eight years. Never legally married per se. It is a friendly separation as we will stay close as friends. She is dating and I am sort of jumping in to the scene again myself. We have three kids together, ages 7 , 6 , and 3. Those guys are my whole world right now. This is all new to me to say the least and I have not a clue about the dating scene.

I work a third shift and spend my off days with my kids so I pretty much don’t have a social life right now. Trying to change that.

My self summary, hmm...I am very loyal to people who don’t screw me over. Hate head games and drama..dont bring it. Not a person who seeks approval from other people, I don’t have to be liked by everyone or meet every single person on the planet. I'm more reserved and comfortable with myself; I enjoy dry humor and can be obtuse at times.

Tell you what, here is a poem (at the bottom) that pretty much describes me to the letter, or at least what I believe.

I’m not looking to shake up the status quo by making a statement with Tattoos, body art, unconvential clothes, or extroverted exhibitionism...from the outside I look like a average Joe and would not stand out in a crowd. I think people who get wrapped up in their own "uniqueness" is so cliché'. Geez get over yourself already...what I do in my home and with that special someone is just as off the wall as you. I don’t have to advertise that to the world to validate myself. I roll my eyes a lot, tell my friends to be cool and relax when they are making asses of themselves; I hate discrimination and bigotry, kicking someone when they are down and dishonesty. I love fireplaces, sex with substance and scuba diving. I like driving dark back roads at night singing with the radio on to clear my head, fishing ( The peace of something so simple) and warm summer days ( hate cold weather), love Karaoke ( My Cheeseball weakness)

Now, having said all that my match may be a lot of the opposite. Yes it is true, opposites do attract. If we are just alike we probably will be good friends but their will be no chemistry...I dont want someone just like me, if you rolled YOUR eyes once while reading this...then you might be a good match, I enjoy opposing veiws and will not respect your ass if you dont have backbone enough to call me out.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

What I'm doing with my lifeWorking, spending time with my kids, starting a new life. Right now just trying to get used to the changes taking place, new doors are opening and some are closeing...that can be a scary thing...but at the same time exciting.

I'm really good atWell, my ex says Im best at one thing . Other than that, Im pretty handy and know how to let loose and have some fun when in the right group of friends. Im very good at reading people and have a damn good bullshit detector...I can not stand pretentious, flakey, overbearing people starving for attention.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about meI honestly would not have a clue. So I will put this in here:

If you like theme parks or concerts or movies I would like to take someone out.

My favorite books, movies, music, and foodMovies like Crash and Heat, love Mexican and any books about the Jimmy Buffet type of lifestyle. Scar Tissue, an autobiography by the lead singer of the red hot chilli peppers is what im reading now.

The six things I could never do withoutMy Kids, SEX... I have a vey high sex drive , I believe the more you know someone and are comfortable with them the better the sex, this in turn opens up new things in the bedroom. Someone Special, My Job, College Football, and my peace of mind.

I spend a lot of time thinking aboutThe future and where do I go from here, what is my life going to be like a year from now.

On a typical Friday night I amWorking, Night Shift, Universal Studios Orlando

The most private thing I'm willing to admit hereThe fact that I signed up for this site.. and that I am normal...I dont have some Pagan religion, I dont subscribe to astrology or some Tao culture, I dont read Harry Potter books or sit around playing WOW all day.

I have A JOB, CAR PAYMENTs, A Roof that needs repair, KIDS that need their father, accountability and responsibility. In other words an adult.

Yes, I am lonley for friends and someone to talk to...I am one month in to a permanent re-definition of my life. Please dont think I am some pathetic on the rebound lush desperate for anything, I have self esteem and my dignity...but yes, my life is in transition right now ...Im not scared to admit that and I dont feel like it diminishes me as a person or a man.

You should message me if you want to.
