Date people from Lakewood, United States. I like to kids around. The est friends I have are there becasue I can joke with them. And when we are tuned in I can take their jokes and kidding. Life is meant to be fun and casual. I graduated from USC and later went into the Army where I served my country behind a typewriter. I was the batallion newspaper editor and loved writing sports stories. My social life has been very restrictive due to my involvement these past 27 years in a 12 Step program. I have been able to serve my God, my community and have recieved countless benefits. I enjoy movies whether they be action, love stories or sad. I want to feel it. I enjoy casual dining but on occasions I like a prime rib at Lawry's. I look for a woman with a sense of humor. Smart as well. In fact she can and has at times been a lot smarter. But I feel more comfortable if she has humor and enjoys the lighter side of life. I used to talk a lot of politics but have begun to lighten up a tad. In fact a lot. I will probably work till I drop dead. But a good vacation now and then would be very welcome. I have been taking up writing articles for our unit newspaper. I have been a registered Republican my whole life. But I think Obama is on the right tract regarding health insurance. I just don't like the way it was done. I am pretty darn average on the computer keyboards and don't mind people poking fun at me. And people think I am prehistoric when it comes to cell phones. I still have a land line. I mean it. I am a nerd. I cried watching Titanic. I laughed out loud viewing A Fish Called Wanda. I was envolved watching the play "Educating Rita. I want to go to the Rose Bowl game and watch the trojans beat the 2nd best team in the nation. My ex wife thought I was one of the most honest men she knew. And I agree. I am looking forward to the Olmpics. I want to see all 50 states. I like camping out. I would like to learn to dance. My wife was a wonderfull traveling companion. I would like to find a woman who enjoys sight seeing. And back to dancing. I would want a woman who would like to learn to dance wtih me. But if she already knows, great. She can teach me and I can save some money. Then I will take her out to dinner. I am serious about my 12 step program. I am pretty serious about the direction this country is taking politically and economically. But I would eventually like to get in there and do something rather than sit back and talk about it. When I feel stress, I go to the gym. A good walk on the beach is refreshing. My wife was a remarkable woman. She got more out of life in a few days than I did in a year. She was right and I am learning.
