I am a single parent of a beautiful little girl. She is in 2nd grade and I think she may be a genius. To tell you the truth she has me completely wrapped around her little finger. I have shared parenting with her mom so I get to be a responsible parent half the time and wild bachelor the other half.
I work as an IT Systems Engineer for a software development company in Central Ohio. I am part of an elite team of 5 engineers that maintain and administer several hundred servers, and although it sounds boring its really a geeks paradise. Oh and by the way its cool to be a geek these days! :-)
People generally disappoint on all levels.
Personally
Professionally
Having common sense
In relationships
Educational
The list goes on . . .
I hate being lied to. If there is one thing I will do is be honest with people. You may not like the truth but I will give it to you. And I hate anyone that doesn't afford me the same!
Other things I enjoy or do.
I invest in Real Estate buying dumps, fixing them up and hopefully making a profit. Right now I am trying to build my portfolio with rental properties for slow steady long term growth. My blog

Planning for the fall football season in Louisiana is radically different than up North. For those who are planning a football trip to Tiger Stadium, here are some helpful hints.
Women's Accessories:
NORTH: Chap Stick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.
LSU: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's what dates are for.
Stadium Size:
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
LSU: The West Upper Deck alone holds 20,000 people.
Fathers:
NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.
LSU: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.
Campus Decor:
NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.
LSU: Statue of a big ass tiger (next to the live big-ass tiger).
Homecoming Queen:
NORTH: Could also be a physics major.
LSU: Could also be Miss America.
Heroes:
NORTH: Rudy Giuliani LSU: Billy Cannon
Game Tickets:
NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and get tickets.
LSU: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus, make a large financial contribution and put name on a waiting list for tickets.
Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game:
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have classes on Friday.
LSU: If we were to play a Thursday game, there would be no classes beginning Tuesday because the campus would be packed with RV's and drunk LSU football fans.
Parking:
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking.
LSU: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.
Game Day:
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.
LSU: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcastin
What in the hell is wrong with those magazines?.?. Ha-Ha.!! So, I made it. It came out o-k, not near as good as yours. Next time. What's going on for the weekend? Anything for Monday? It's a holiday!!!!.......Give me a call!
Ok, so how am I ever going to convince you to come back to Va Beach for a visit? I think you need a break. It has been way way too long...We can go out and have some fun...don't you want to go to the beach and people watch w. me? 50 points and a beer for the first person to spot a really old man in a blue speedo or a ginormous woman in a white bikini ;) ha ha ha!
