Interests
Please understand - I am involved. I have found the sweetest, most wonderful girl ever. I am not looking to "hook up" with you. If that's what you're looking for, please move on. If you're peddling your porn site, I'm not interested. If you're pimping out your wife, girlfriend, sister, mom, whatever--please, don't go away mad, just go away. I only rate 10's or better, please don't be rude to people on here. If you don't think someone deserves a 10, don't rate them. Isn't this all about having a good time and enjoying ourselves anyway? Relax people, stop hating those you don't even know and have fun.
Thought for the day:
Risks:
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
****Edit****
Just to see if anyone's paying attention.... The sweet, wonderful lady I refer to above is 8 months old, yeah my daughter. I'm not seeing anyone and don't plan on it. It wouldn't be fair for anyone involved. Her mom and I are very very close and for that I'm thankful. At this point, I am not even willing to give up 15 minutes of my time with my daughter for anyone and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Yes, I like to flirt and I enjoy talking to and seeing all the pics of all the lovely ladies here on CT, but don't worry, I'm harmless, don't take me seriously. I'm leaving the first part up there to give those with only those things in mind the hint, hope they take it. Take care, have fun & lots of cherry luv to everyone out there.
Movies
In no particular order:
Almost anything by Disney, xXx (State of the Union was ok, but I prefer the first), Braveheart, Boondock Saints, Underworld 1 & 2, The Breakfast Club, The Scorpion King, all of the Rocky's, Star Wars 1-6, Undisputed 2, Kiss of the Dragon, Armageddon, LOTR trilogy, Blade 1-3, Matrix 1-3, Apocolypse Now, As Good as it Gets, Better Off Dead, Blue Collar 1-3, City of Angels, Troy, Young Guns 1&2, The Notebook, The Last Samurai (I was VERY pleasantly surprised with this one), Full Metal Jacket, The Glimmer Man, Godfather 1-3, First Knight, Hitch, A Knight's Tale, Red Dawn, The Outsiders, Platoon, The Crow, Falling Down, and so many more. I've got well over 300 DVDs at home and adding more all the time.

Don't know if I'd exactly call them idols, but a few people I respect, admire, and would like to meet include:
Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Fedor Emilianenko, Wanderlei Silva, Matt Hughes, Anderson Silva, Mark Kerr, Mark Coleman, etc.
Video Games
I saw a great idea by someone else & I'm stealing it. I am going to pretend that this box is made for us weirdos who still enjoy reading a good book. So, on that note here are some of my favorites:
Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert A Heinlein
**My all-time favorite**
The Power of One - Bryce Courtenay, The Vampire Chronicles (All 10 of them), The Harry Potter books (Yeah, I'm just a big kid at heart), The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Ninja Series by Eric Van Lustbader (The late ones were better than the first couple), The DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, Deception Point, The Ugly Little Boy, a few by Patricia Cornwell, The Book of Five Rings, The Art of War, The Art of Peace, The Tao Te Ching, The I Ching, and I am currently reading up on Socrates & Aristotle...very interesting reading.
Basically I like to read anything that captures my mind and makes me think.
