well for the most part im very open and honest but I am sort of a private person. I am who I am and dont try to be what others want me to be. im happy with myself so if folks cant except that then its mind over matter...I dont mind and they dont matter..one thing that surpises many people is that im a country boy, although I have lived in the city since i was 12 im still very much the country boy from the mountains of West Virginia. still where a cowboy hat now and then and yes I do tip it for the ladies, I like horseback riding, camping, rodeos, and I can two step with the best of them lol most of the time I listen to country music but I love all music except for Gangster Rap. I think the ability to use a lot of profanity shows a lack of intelligence, vocabulary and artistic talent. but thats just my opinion. I was in the choir as a kid and learned to play several instruments I love God and Gospel music, I can sing but havent done so in public for a few years now. im very much a gentleman, I hold the door for females, I respect my elders and address them as "sir" or "maam" to me a handshake is as good as my word. im usually in bed early and up by 5:30am even on my days off. I collect knives and swords and im a damn good shot with either a rifle or a pistol...grew up shootin snakes and for those who know you dont get many chances there. I proudly served my country as a Marine and would defend her anyday but I'm not a violent person and can usually talk things out without going to blows...but if I have to fight I will. there are only a handful of guys I trust 100%! as for everyone else I put faith in them day to day but tend to be cautious. I do have issues when it comes to trusting folks but it has kept me alive. I think im a good judge of character and dont request to be friends with just anyone. I do however give everyone a chance to be my friend if they choose. im not here for the points or to be popular, im not here to have hand to glad combat while looking at naked photos, but I do enjoy browsing /rating photos and being able to view a womans beauty. at times I am very flirty depending on my mood but not very often and most people know im just kidding. I dont feel that im very attractive on the outside I have a lot of scars from over the years, but inside I feel im the most beautiful person in the world. I am in a relationship but dont talk about it much. we have been together for a long time, I have never cheated on her and for the record im not here to be a player. I loved her from the day I saw her and she still has my heart. fact is if it ended tomorrow it would be a very long time before I could even think about getting back on that horse. I have 3 non biological kids that I raised and love as my own.and im unsure if I have biological kids both of those stories would make an interesting blog lol. I like writing poems and short stories and usually post my poems to share with others.
