About Me
Bring on the fun! You can never have too many good friends or too much laughter in life! Love truly, dream big, break the rules, kiss slowly, forgive quickly, laugh uncontrollably; and never regret anything that made you smile or made you hurt. You learn from both. I accept the idea that fate, destiny and luck are all parts of the equation in finding the right partner, but even fate can use a little help now and then, so we'll give this a shot.Here's my pitch: I’m a fun, intelligent, adventurous, artistic, affectionate, positive, easy-going, and down-to-earth guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously. I’m an outstanding communicator and my healthy sense of humor and playfulness is the not-so-secret key to my happiness and well-being. Creativity is my life’s breath and my passion. Being actively creative is how I achieve my truest and deepest fulfillment. I’m always up for a good time, I love to laugh and I’m easily amused and entertained. I’m very sociable, outgoing, and I tend to make friends easily. I'm of Irish heritage and was raised half mid-western and half southern, so that tends to produce an interesting combination of subtle accents after enjoying a few beers. I’m a sarcastic optimist and a realistic dreamer. I definitely feel most alive when I’m working on artistic and inspiring projects and ideas, so my inventive imagination serves me well. I have more useless knowledge in my head than should be legally allowed. My family and friends are extremely important to me and I would lasso the moon for their happiness. I am completely loyal, honest and honorable in my relationships and I’m very confident and secure with who I am as a person. I’m ambitious and I have many goals that I’m striving to achieve and sometimes it can be an uphill climb, but believing in yourself and liking who you are as a person certainly makes life a little easier. We’re all just looking to find our own piece/peace of happiness after all. I’m an actor/writer/graphic designer and I’m also the president and artistic director of a new theatre company. My creativity and imagination truly do keep me young and my job reflects that. I’m really just a big ol’ kid at heart. I perceive myself as a very young version of ***and my friends would agree). That number sounds really old to me, to be totally honest, so I’m really not your typical forty year-old. My mentality is probably quite a bit younger than that number. I’m not implying that my maturity and my sense of being a responsible adult aren’t fully developed (they are); but my state of mind, attitude, personality and lifestyle are not what I’d imagined forty would be like when I was a kid. I actually had a much rougher time turning thirty than I did forty. Other than acquiring a few more scratches and dents, I feel younger now than I did back then, so that keeps me smiling. I keep reading trending articles that say women now view divorced men as being more desirable and in-demand these days. That makes a lot of sense. Being divorced doesn’t mean that I’m damaged goods. On the contrary; it means that I’m damn good at handling anything life may unexpectedly throw at me. It doesn’t mean that I’m broken; it means that I’m already comfortably broken in. I’m experienced, I’m emotionally mature and evolved, and I’ve proven my ability and desire to commit, be a partner, and to share a life. I earned my scars and my badge of honor and I pulled myself back up onto my feet with my head held high. I’ve become stronger and wiser and even more compassionate and insightful (and very grateful and thankful for the people that truly do matter in life); and through it all, I’m still a believer. That’s something to be proud of.So, now that you know a bit about me, here’s what I find attractive and admirable in a woman: an intelligent and an inquisitive mind, a warm and witty sense of humor; an appreciation of the fun and happiness in the little things that matter, as well as the big stuff; a positive and hopeful outlook on life (you don’t have to dance on candy-colored clouds every second of every day, but perpetual mood killers are not my style. However, I’ There’s got to be a healthy balance), an appreciation of the arts and culture (I admit that I have an unusual career that doesn’t always make sense to everybody all of the time. You definitely don’t need to totally understand this way of life, but you’d have to totally appreciate that it’s what I do for a living. I’m good at it and I love it, so if you don’t accept that, then we would not be a great fit to begin with), affectionate and loving (I’m a big hugger and a kisser, not in a smothering way, but in a healthy and sweet-natured way), the ability to enjoy a bar and a drink or two on occasion (I don’t mean that you have to slam a whole keg of beer with Charlie Sheen and swing from the ceiling rafters every night with your hair on fire, but the peaceful enjoyment and relaxation of a beer or a glass of wine, or whatever you happen to drink, is a simple pleasure for me), sassy and playful banter and intellectual debate, a tender and kind heart, a healthy sense of self and identity, compassionate and nurturing ***, a steady moral compass and good values and principles, emotionally available and relationship oriented, genuine and honest, an assertive and forthcoming nature, a social personality as well as enjoying a peaceful night in with wine and movies; non-pretentiousness; and please: no drama-queens (I despise self-created/inflicted emotional drama and punishment, playing unnecessary mind games, walking on eggshells, hypocrites, and silent treatments).Honestly, I don’t have any miraculous expectations by being on this site, but if the stars align just right and we catch lightning in a bottle, then that’d be a great surprise and we’ll take that ride together, whether that leads to friendship, romance, or just a good story to tell. I love meeting new people and making friends, so I welcome any new challenges, journeys and adventures! A first date does kind of feel like a job interview to me, and I’m not a huge fan of the whole initial “dating process”, but it’s worth taking the chance because I’m truly at my best when I’m in a healthy, happy, and committed relationship (and I’m a damn good boyfriend/partner/best friend, too). I’ve been out of the loop for a while, but I’m up for the challenge and I’m determined to make it fun for us both.
