Date someone special from Orange, United States. Bonus points if you know where my headline is from...Anyway, I have a good head on my shoulders,and have my act together. I am respectful and get along with pretty much everyone. My parents raised me right I suppose. I'd like to believe that I have done well for myself, have worked hard to get where I'm at, and worked hard for the things I have.
Some things about me/I enjoy/can't live without include, but not limited to, the following...
- My family - I don't have a very large family, so we are all very close. My parents are legit and have been married for 40 years. Came to this country with nothing and were able to build a stable household for their kids. My brother and sister aren't half bad either.
- My friends - All a bunch of stand up people. We're all so different yet we've managed to stay friends for all these years. Ask the two guys I've been friends with since kindergarten that I still hang out with on a weekly basis.
- My job - Thankfully I have one in these tough times. Couldn't imagine working anywhere else. Always challenging me to do my best and enabling me to continuously grow.
- City of Orange - I love where I live, especially the Old Town area. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
- Music - Punk and hardcore (see list of good bands below) although my taste in music has mellowed and broadened in my old age. Still dig going to shows, but good bands are few and far between these days. Don't worry, I'll let you play DJ in my car.
- Vegas - Ummmm I love going there. I lost count how many times we went last year. Yikes. I am trying to cut down on the Vegas trips. I'm doing a better job this year with that.
Ok, so now things I am looking for in a girl include, but not limited to, the following (by no means is this all encompassing)...
- Family oriented - See #1 above.
- Someone who can make me laugh. Laughter is key.
- Someone who can challenge me. Need you to keep me on my toes.
- Someone I can be myself around. I'm serious when I need to be, but like enjoy life.
- Someone who likes to get the heck out of town every once in a while. Spur of the moment trips are always a good thing!
- Someone who is somewhat knowledgeable of what is going on in the world. FB status updates don't count.
- Someone who can recognize and appreciate a good guy when he's in front of them. No need to elaborate on this one.
- Someone who gets along with my friends. They're all good peeps, I promise.
At this point in my life, I am fortunate enough to have everything I can ask for (good job, health, my family, close friends, house, etc etc etc), except that special someone. Mushy, I know... OK, I'm done writing.
