Describe Yourself:As is typical for a writer, I have tendency to droan on and on without a clear idea of where to stop BUT for this essay I am going to rein in my verbal stampede.
I am a man, NOT a homo or metro sexual. NOT even fashionable or chic, BUT also not the typical guy. I hate beer and don't drink at all, I don't like to watch sports. There isn't a competitive gene in my DNA code. I love to dance ( BUT health and fitness reasons prevent it ) I am HIGHLY sexual and affectionate and like to TRULY, deeply connect with friends, family and lovers.
I am a college educated single parent of an 8 yr old boy and a 42 year old woman ( my ex-wife-in-process ) and am battling that status in order to get my house repaired, packed up and sold so that my son and I can move to a new home and start a new life. BUT the Mrs. tends to cause delaying and obstacles to this.
I am also in combat against my A.D.D. and O.C.D. which has been greatly aggravated over the years by the treatment of my choice of soulmates.
My new life would ideally include an acreage with a shop and outbuildings, a bigger and functional kitchen and a room dedicated to only writing and online pursuits. Also it needs to have PLENTY of storage space. It would be in the Anamosa Iowa school district ( at least for now ) so that my son can attend a good but not overly LARGE school while living close to grandparents and cousins. .
IF there was space on this acreage I would love to dismantle and move then reassemble some old farm buildings on the property and eventually convert them to residential and sole commercial uses. ( for ex. a barn for a house and an oak drive through corn crib as a shop space )
I will be adding to this essay as time passes, BUT for now that should start your journey to the guy that is me. -
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:support , friendships, possible writing opportunities, hell, who knows, maybe even a second wife.

And the Alabama coast, huh? Which part? I live for Dauphin Island, but unfortunately I got overruled- my family would rather visit Gulf Shores/Orange Beach than the beautiful Island...

Just as I was getting ready to ping you and ask if my memory comment had scared you off, I realized you had pinged me and I'd simply missed it. Oh shocking! :/
And I found a solution to the memory problem... if I open your profile in a new tab on my IE (no, I won't use firefox), then I am able to read both pings! (Perhaps I'm a SMART, funny, proper chick.... :P )
I have a bad habit of misreading, and after you listed the match.com, the plenty of fish, the etc etc, you listed "In person." I read "In prison." That makes quite a difference, I'll say. At least you said what you said and not what I thought you said.
Sweet as a hershey bar dipped in syrup? My goodness..... that IS sweet. I might have my bitter side, too, though. Perhaps I'm as sweet as a Special Dark Hershey Bar dipped in syrup?

Hmm... what counteracts your humour? I'm going to guess it's your profile picture.... I think girls are looking for something a tad bit younger than a dinosaur, hon...
Maybe I'm a very proper chicken? Ever think of that?
Or maybe every time I click "Ping Douglas" I forget half of what you said in your ping, and therefore don't respond well enough. I have a terrible memory, you see... lol.

Haha, you're a funny guy... :)
Assertiveness can be a very good thing... (but it often only seems to get me into trouble...)
