I'm a bit of a conundrum...(is that spelled right? Wikipedia anybody?) I realize that I'm not perfect, no one really truly is. But I do my best with what I've got. I love people, I really truly do. I enjoy being there for them, having them be there for me, watching stupid movies late at night till I'm all bleary eyed and nearly falling asleep. I especially love going out for ice cream and on the special occasion...pie. Nothing is better in life than pie mmmmmm. I enjoy the occasional hug, holding hands. I don't do all these things, but I like to reminisce a bit about walking on trails, being out amongst nature. Experiencing life beyond the walls we put ourselves behind. I enjoy trying to live relatively drama free, but our brains get in the way of us trying to be happy all the time, so I understand if you are sad from time to time. I appreciate others quirks, and I'll try to be honest if you ask the right questions. I enjoy the unusual...the different, and occasionally, as long as it isn't too illicit or too illegal, I like to try new things. You can call me Generic Joe or Just Plain Joe or That One Guy Joe...but I know this one thing for sure, I'm pretty fantastic from time to time. Hope you have some smiles to share with me. *and yes I do understand I probably sound like some sort of psuedo weird Mr. Rogers type, and even though I do enjoy wearing sweaters and put my shoes on one at a time, that once you get beyond my dorkishness...I'm not all that bad.*
*Offer limited to the continental united states, aw heck, why not the world...
Who I'd like to meet: At this point in my life I'd like to meet honest tried and true friends. Sometimes I come off a bit shy, sometimes I come on a bit strong...I'm full of quirks like that. But it all boils down to friends helping friends helping friends...etc. I just want to meet people who help spark energy and smiles within one another. Create real magic through the things they do, the smiles they bring, and the knee slappers they exude.
