Update to the computer problems. Today some Spyware 2009 crap finally got into my computer and won't let me go anywhere on the net. I'm taking a chance and writing this from work. But it looks like I'm going to be hit and miss. I'll try to log in from other locations, but as of now, looks like I'm cut off from the world. My computer guy is down and I can't afford a new computer. I'll sneak in from time to time to visit with those who've been regulars but I don't know how often that will be. Like I saw before, please feel free to email if you want to talk since I can access that at work.

I'll stay online as far as the status shows, but I don't know when I'll actually be on.

Now about me. Since they corrected the problem of showing us who the Secret Admirer is, it's become very apparent that I suck at guessing who my Secret Admirer is. So I ask forgiveness. On the off chance that you chose me and I never visited your page, now you know why.

Also, let me just say that if I visited your profile and fanned you, in some cases, it's an indicator that I visited your site more than once. Something about your photo or profile grabbed my attention and pulled me back. I don't expect you to return the fan and I'm not looking for ratings (although they are nice). There are just so many of you who have similar names, photo poses, etc... and I sometimes forget I've been there before. I hope that makes sense and I hope no one is offended.

Another thing I've found in my short time here is that some of you have paranormal, alien/UFO encounters or strange stories. I'd love to hear them, especially if you feel that you can't share them with anyone else. I promise I won't laugh or share your story with others. I don't have all the answers, but I'll help you look for some if that's what you want. And yes, strange things have happened to me. I'll share too if you want to hear about it.

Now on to me... I currently work evenings and Saturdays as a Special Events Assistant. Prior to that, I was a Security Guard for a Little Debbie Plant, a 911 Dispatcher for Siloam Springs, an Accounting Tech at the UofA, a cure operator at Gates, and a 20 year Air Force Veteran.

I'm currently separated on good terms from my wife of 30 plus years and have 3 grown children.

My hobbies are building models, attending Science Fiction conventions (and before you think, 'uh oh, another geek who lives in his mama's basement' let me stop you right there, some of our mama's don't have basements. And guys, let me tell you that there are some super hot chicks at these things in very revealing outfits.) okay, back to me...

My interest include UFO's and all things Metaphysical and Paranormal. I enjoy making gifts for friends during the holidays. I used to be a member of MENSA, but my membership expired in 2001 or 2002. I'm not sure if my brain did too, but if so, that would explain some bad days I've had. LOL

I have seen and done things that others only dream about, yet I'm still looking for more. I've written poetry and short stories. I'm an artist in the since that I have drawn portraits, painted pictures, built models and dioramas for friends.

I've toured Air Force One, assisted the Secret Service in guarding a Vice Presidential Limo (even had my picture taken in it), worked on Secret Spy Planes, and various other fighter aircraft. Of all the aircraft I worked, the F-4 was my favorite, followed by the AC-130 Gunship and SR-71.

I've lived in England and Korea. I've worked in Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, Okinawa, and the Philippines. I've set foot in Germany, Hawaii, Japan, Sicily, Spain, the Azores, and Saudi Arabia.

I've been inside the Giza Pyramid, seen the Sphinx, and Stonehenge. In 2006, I went to Vancouver Canada where I got to tour the sets of my favorites TV shows, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. The year before that, I got to tour the real Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs. My attendance and volunteer services have allowed me to get a photograph with many of the TV stars I enjoy watching.

While I was in the Air Force, I traveled to some less than ideal places, but never had a bad assignment. I always looked for something new and exciting to do or learn. I've found that given a chance, most everyone loves to brag on their job and are willing to let you try a thing or two. I also learned that if you don't ask, you may miss out on the opportunities of a lifetime. If I hadn't asked, I would have missed out on touring AF1.

Well, those are the highlights that I've enjoyed in my life. Thanks to God, I've had a wonderful life and experienced a lot. We only get one chance at life and my goal is to learn and experience as much as I possibly can.
If after reading all this, you have any questions, please feel feel to ask. I try to be open minded about everything.

BTW, I enjoy reading other peoples aboutme sections too, so please, if you haven't already done so, fill them out. It's usually the first place I go.
