People say that I am:
|
|
Shy, very shy. But once you get to know me I'm very trusting and willing to help with anything. A great sense of humor, if a little twisty sometimes, depends on how you look at things. Most defiantly Not Politically Correct. Most would call me weird, or at least an odd ball. My old friends from down south would tell you that I'm a "Good O' Boy". Of all the places that I've lived, down in southern Oklahoma was the hardest place to make friends. But once I made friends with some of them they have been friends for the rest of my life. No matter where I've moved I have stayed in touch with them.

Things that have bothered me:
|
|
Most of the people that I have known have taken advantage of me. I haven't had a "Date" since my divorce in 97.
Before my divorce all of the people that were so called friends of my ex were druggies. A little explaining here. My last ex was also my first ex, with one ex and 16 years in between. The first time we married was the night before I graduated from high school and she had a kid 6 months old, maybe mine. We lasted a little over a year and split up. She left after I asked her to slow down a little on the Drugs. She went to live with her brother because he would give her all the drugs she wanted.
Sixteen years later I was living in Utah and had been single for almost 5 years and she found out where I was. Well, with only two dates in the last 5 years, both of them drastic failures, when she called and said she wanted to come see me it wasn't hard for her to get me to fall for her again. Two months later we got married again and I moved her and her three kids to Utah. Five months later her house in Florence hadn't sold and her and the kids didn't like Utah so we moved back here to Colorado and I gave up my job of 5 years and sold my house in Utah.
Then everything went to . I found out she was a bigger druggie than she was before and all her friends were too. I put up with it for two years and left. It cost me everything I had but I had to get away from that life or it was going to kill me.
So that's why I have stayed alone and become a hermit for the last 12 years. I tried a couple of room mates at first but it didn't work so I've been alone for the last 6 years or so.

I am looking for:
|
|
I'm looking for some one that I can trust. Some one that wont use me and take what they can and leave. Some one that knows what loyalty is and the difference between whats right and whats wrong. I would like to find someone that has some moral values and lives by them and doesn't just put them on for show. Some one that can accept me the way I am and not try to "fix me", just like I will accept them the way they are. And as for what the world today calls "Normal" I want some one that is just as weird as I am!

My funniest life experience:
|
|
When I was living in southern Oklahoma this one nice summer weekend my new wife and I with two other couples decided to go camping out at the lake. Me and my wife had been married less than a year and we only had a 2 person pup tent and my Datsun 260Z sports car. Of the couples that were with us one had a little 10' Scottie camp trailer and pickup and the other couple had an old Ford truck and camper. We had made our way down some back roads and out on a point on Spring Creek Lake. It was a great spot and we had it all to our selves. We had originally planned to stay only one night but we were having such a good time we decided to stay another one. A couple of us made a road trip back to town to get supplies, beer and munchies, so we were set for another night. WRONG!
The second night we had three tornado's come through the area where we were camped! Have you ever road out a Tornado in a Pup Tent at night?! It was WILD! Me and my wife woke up floating in our tent, or at least I did on my air mattress. Hers had went flat. But it didn't matter because we were both soaking wet and freezing cold. When it got light out it was still a drizzling rain and stayed that way all day.
The real fun started when we tried to leave. We were at least three miles from paved road. And it was all up hill in Red Oklahoma Clay that had been rained on for over 12 hours, and it was a mess! We were all day getting out of there! First we had to actually cut and clear the brush and trees to make a new road for at least 200 yards. The original road had really deep ruts from others being on it in the mud. Going in we could ride on the high sides of the road when it was dry. Trying to get out it was slick as snot red mud. We each tried to drive out but none of us could make it more than a few feet up the road and then slide into the deep ruts and were stuck. We were slipping and sliding and falling in the mud all day! And none of us had a camera with us! When we all got back to town we were covered with red mud all over. Years later there was still some of that red mud stuck to the bottom of my 260Z. Over all that was one of the best camping weekends we ever had. I just wish we had a camera!

Cool Movies:
|
|
I like a lot of the SciFi movies like all the Star Trek movies, Enemy Mine, Time Bandits. All of Stephen Kings movies. The Abyss, the Babylon 5 movies, the VanDam movies, Jacky Chan movies, Steven Seagal movies.
|
|
My Favorite Groups are:
|
|
I mostly like the old classic rock, 50s, 60s, 70s. Some Country, Blues, Jazz. I like good instrumental music, just about anything. I don't like Rap, Heavy Metal, or that hard head banging crap.
|
|
I am looking for a personality like:
|
|
I've always had a hard time being around a lot of other people. I have never been comfortable in crowds or being the center of attention of a lot of people. Like in high school if I had to get up in front of the class for a report or something, forget that! The few times that I've been to a large party I was the guy off to the side watching and listening but never saying anything.
Now, one on one or just a couple of other people I'm ok after I get to know them a little. Then what really helps me is my sense of humor and the different way that I tend to look at things. Like the saying about the glass being half empty or being half full. I say get a smaller glass, as in "don't expect or want so much and be happy with what you have" and who cares as long as you got more wine in the bottle.

Are you willing to compromise in difficult times and situations?
|
|
I'm always willing to compromise. Isn't that what life mostly is, one compromise after another? That's how we get along without a bunch of conflict isn't it?
|
|
Willingness to meet others from boM:
|
|
I'm willing to give this a shot, and no, I've never met anyone off the Internet before.
|
|
Are you ready to start from scratch?
|
|
Right now I'm as close to "Starting from Scratch" as a guy that's 49 can get, or just past that, barely. When I got divorced 12 years ago I lost everything. I mean EVERY THING. I was left with a couple of garbage bags with some of my clothes in them, and my nephew stole my car and rolled it. At least now I do own my home and the ground it's on. It's just an old 14'x70' mobile home on a 80'x100' lot in a quiet neighborhood but it's all paid for and it's mine. The decor is what I like to call "Early American Yard Sale", with some junk that ain't worth the effort to throw out.

My typical day:
|
|
What would be my perfect date experience? That could be an easy one to just say "it ends with us still in bed together the next morning". But, I have never had the "Perfect Date", yet. I would just like to have one that didn't have the mustard squirt her in the face at the weeny roast in the mountains date. Or the Flat tire in the rain, got stuck in the ditch, and had to walk home date. A date that was someplace in the middle and I wouldn't be embarrassed to call her again date would be nice.
As for a day in my life? It starts with taking my thyroid pills since I had Thyroid cancer 3 years ago and mine was removed. Along with about 5 pounds of cancer tumors. I was given a year at best to live. It's a genuine Miracle that the cancer is gone and I'm doin fine. That's a story I can tell you later if you want to hear it.
After that, it's try to find something to do. Spend some time on my computer, working on a photo project or something. Watch a little TV or read for awhile. Maybe go for a drive out in the mountains someplace. Try to come up with something that sounds good to fix for dinner and still want to eat it. Watch a little more TV and go to bed, alone again.
Or its just get up, breath in and out, maybe eat something, go back to bed. I have been completely alone, no friends, no companions, no casual contacts, for about 6 years now. That's why I'm the ColoradoHermit.

My Wish List Includes:
|
|
I've done tried most all the crazy stuff that I've wanted too. Wouldn't mind going to a nudist camp, or the "clothing optional" hot springs with an adventurous lady.
What would be nice would be to find a lady to love. That would be happy with the quiet life in the slow lane. Being comfortable with each other and content to cuddle and watch a movie, or spending an evening playing cards or aggravation with another couple. Go out to a quiet Restaurant for dinner a couple times a month. Things like that with out any outside problems, like a brother-in-law dragging a drunken crowd from the Bar to the house wanting to fight.
