Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Sherwood, 42 year old

Date people from United States. I am a single father of 2 great kids. I am semi-recently divorced and recently moved back to Arkansas from California. It has been interesting after 20 years of being away. I have enjoyed being close to my relatives. I can't believe I joined this site. I don't hang out in Bars and I don't try to pick up women at the Grocery store so I thought I would try this. I haven't dated in many years but would like to meet someone. Someone to have fun with and if it develops into something more, that would be great.

Meet single man from United States. Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. - Groucho Marx
It's a bit drastic, but very sensible. If I can't find my own happiness, how can I expect someone else to find it for me?
I'm a mature, self confident, laid back single father of two, here in Sherwood. I'm very secure and happy with my life, but understand that the richness life has to offer can only be found when it is shared with someone. I'm an outgoing and creative individual with a great sense of humor. I love to laugh and hope you do too (loving British comedy is a huge plus).
I work for an IT firm in North Little Rock which is both fun and exciting. Some days it doesn't even feel like work. In my spare time when I'm not being the world's greatest dad; I enjoy going to the theater, both movies and live performances. I even enjoy going to Murry's Dinner Playhouse simply because I love the idea of having dinner and watching a play (I mean really, who put those two together?). I love all types of music; from country to classical. But there will always be a spot in my heart for the eighties music I grew up with. And on the odd weekend, I can sometimes be found hunting for ghosts with a local paranormal group (yes, I said ghosts).
I'm interested in becoming friends with an open minded, fun loving and independent woman. Being a single parent, like myself, is a plus but not a requirement (in dire need of adult conversation that doesn't involve cartoons). Age is unimportant to me, however you should be old enough to understand that when I say "Duran Duran", I'm not stuttering. And yes, as a child of the eighties, saying "Duran Duran" may come up more often than you would think. Dancing is another huge plus, as well as curling up on the couch with a good movie. And please, all emotional baggage should be checked at the front desk before proceeding to the gate. :) Life is too short for any more drama.
Please, no tattoos.
So if you're interested and see yourself in this description, please feel free to drop me a line. I hope to hear from you soon.
