About Me

...okay, so i gather my previous profile was too oblique. figured i'd give it another shot. i just can't bring myself to write a traditional one, though-- i mostly find them insipid. ***'ll start with a story:so, i broke my neck one time. bit of a bummer, that. i considered myself kind of a busy guy, and hadn't budgeted any of my time for quadriplegia. didn't really like the idea much, to be honest. the doctors said that when the the spinal swelling went down, i would begin to regain some or all of my functions- but they couldn't say just what that would end up looking like. for a time there, mercifully brief, all i really wanted from life was to be able to walk. ...and then something worse happened. i bought an audi. fast forward five or six months-- a friend had warned me not to buy it, told me that old audis were junk. but did i listen? i did not listen. and this car broke down every three weeks, like clockwork, for the nine months i owned it. i could have been leasing a rolls royce ***, for the money in repairs i dumped into this piece. clutch pedal just randomly hits the floor, completely unmoored. the car gradually rolls to a stop. it's raining. and omigod, am i ever feeling sorry for myself. i mean, have i not suffered enough? seriously? i get out of the car, in the rain, and try to push the car off to the side of the road. i can't push it, as i'm still weak as a kitten, the result of residual paralysis and muscle atrophy. (at one point it was all i could do to bench press a broom stick, two and one half times). so i'm leaning into the car with my hips to awkwardly push it that way. i'm getting rained on, and i'm bitter. this is ***, i don't have a cell phone. on top of all of my other frustrations, i have to walk downtown. i am so full of self pity i can barely stand it.and then it occurs to me that, a few short months before, all i wanted was to be able to walk; and now i am upset because i have to. and so i laughed and i wept and thanked god, and i walked in the rain, and if i have had a better day than this one, i don't recall it. i bring this up for two reasons. the first is that, no matter how many times i try to wrest satisfaction from life, i always come back to the same conclusion. the only happiness or peace or serenity or contentment that will be mine, on any but the most fleeting basis, will come to me not because i get what i want, but because i am willing to accept life as it presents itself. in any given moment, i have to walk, or i get to walk. i try to keep that in mind on sites like this- i just want to try and stay present, enjoy whatever moment i happen to be in, and not get weighed down with expectations, hopes, etc....and the second reason: i mean, what good is a story like that, if you can't use it to pick up chicks on the internet?a few random details. i:--prefer travel to tourism***have worked at various times as a blackjack dealer, a short-order cook, an attorney, a dishwasher, a writer, and a paperboy--have a (no-doubt unhealthy) contempt for reality television in all its forms--am well-acquainted with the subject explored in those fifty shades of bad prose books--have a heretofore mostly***seldom wear shoes--think service to others is the only antidote for my selfish nature. o and but though i resist, and resist, and resist--have high hopes, despite the contrary conclusion reached in reason number one, supra --am liberal; spiritual rather than religious; not jealous; and skeptical--am embarrassed by my pictures, but slightly less embarrassed by them than i am of basically every other picture ever taken of memy body works just fine now, by the way, and thanks for asking. i still like to walk.so who are you? tell me things. maybe we can get together over coffee and work together on honing the language in these nifty profile questionnaire responses. mine needs work.

    I like to be as active as possible. I'm a medical device sales rep (vascular) and travel the state of Kentucky. When I'm not in a hospital I enjoy a good work out... Preferably outdoors. With that being said, my drink of choice is Kentucky bourbon! I have a great family and awesome group of friends. I consider myself to be very blessed.

    This is the part of filling out your profile that I don't like very much. It seems like I am trying to sell myself off....lol. I think of myself as a hopeless romantic. I enjoy being able to be completely honest with someone. If I am thinking something I feel I should be able to tell the person I am with exactly what is going on on my head. I am in excellent health but I do still have room for improvement. I am also finding that I am not liking getting older....lol. I have a lot of energy to get out and go swimming, biking, hiking, or just take a long walk down the boardwalk. I like to go out on the weekends to the gas lamp and go to clubs where I can hear some nice house music. I have hundreds of people that I can just pick up the phone and shoot the poop with. I have been single for a awhile now but I do not feel alone, except those occasional nights when I decide to watch a dramatic movie. I am here on meetville to ad to my already pretty full life. I think it would be wonderful to share some precious adventures with a woman that thinks and feels the same. Well, it's about time for me to sign out here. If you would like to know more, please send me a note. I am not ready to jump into a relationship right now, but stranger things have happened...lol. Thanks for reading and good luck on your search...xo It would involve alot of communication, on both sides. Which of course would lead to some serious flirting....lol.
