Hmmmm, I think I may agree with you, but not sure - what do you mean? Examples? And then the rest, sorry, bud, you totally lost me.

I actually am a very cool fun guy - once you get to know me. That's how it's gone all my life. Some people get me riht away, most are not sure and a few think I'm the biggest A-hole they have ever met. I'm both introvert and extrovert. Yes I can and have been on stage in front of thousands both by myself and as part of a band and have no problem doing that. I have also been a DJ on the radio and still do some of that. Yet I can be rather quite at times. Then again, I can be outgoing and sarcastically funny.

As for Georgia - what did you think I was like? Since you can't remember your origional point, perhaps just tell me what you thought I'd say I was like?

See I've lead a rather fulfilling and diversified life. I've accomplished nearly everything I wanted to do as a child. Since I was like 10 I wanted to be a firefighter and paramedic - I did it. I wanted to perform in bands - do it, wanted to be on the radio, did it/still do it. I have accomplished a huge amount - just not as well with my personal life.

-Executive Director of 7,500 person member org.
-President of multiple orgs.
-Radio DJ and chief engineer
-Recording studio owner since 1983
-Musician playing likely close to 5,000 gigs in my life
-Musician performing on over 100 "albums" CDs, Jingles, etc. likely over 500 total songs.
-Private pilot with about 1,100 total hours flying time
-Have owned several planes
-Never smoked a cigarette, tried pot, coke, meth or anything else, rarely drink, yet I'm a recovering opiate addict with 7 years sobriety. No one and I mean no one, had a clue.
-Firefighter - likely participated in 50 structure fires - which really is a lot as things just don't burn down much anymore.
-Paramedic - treated thousands of patients over near 25 years with all sorts of cool stories.
-Dozens of people would claim I saved their life - a few would be correct.
-Love to ski - mostly water
-Love to travel
-Decent at baseball/softball - average at other sports
-Like to go to baseball games, followed by Packers games, basketball least favorite.

That hopefully gives a better glimpse into my life and who I am. For whatever reason, as successful as I've been at all of the above, I would not say successful with women would be on the list. Others actually would have said that - at least from about 1990-2005.

And finally Georgia, I have tried OLD but really got no where with that and I mean no where. I've done much better in person. In fact I don't know that I've done a second date from online - of the 4 or 5 I even went on - all but one by my choice.

And there you have it.
