I don't take myself seriously and will be the first to laugh at my own stupidity. I tease people that I like. I need to be honest and forthright if for no other reason than my memory is far too poor for me to successfully lie. I'm a nice, caring guy but also a sarcastic prick - particularly when I'm being racist. Sometimes I think I like music too much. I'm well-educated and mature but (?) have the mouth of a sailor. I have A BLOG that I use to spotlight my favorite music, news, and internet randomness. I absolutely love dogs and will ignore humans in the presence of virtually any canine. I tend to write grammatically-correct text messages. I love to go out but can very much enjoy staying in (Trivial Pursuit anyone?). I don't have a gym body (or hell, even a membership) and don't need/expect it of my mate. I've started muting the commercials while I watch TV; it makes me feel geriatric, but that's okay. And to the depressingly-large number of douche bags on this site: I'm not sure which is more vile: the ignorance required to label oneself as "straight-acting" or the homophobia necessary to be proud of it.
re: my "friends"
For better or for worse, I haven't met 99% my "D-friends." People request to be my 'friend' and I used to simply ignore it but now - assuming I won't be your 4,698th friend, you live in my city, and your age doesn't make me feel like a child molester - I usually click 'accept.' I don't really know what it all means but I'm sure they're a lovely group of strangers who'd lend me money if I was in a jam.
re: you (?)
Physically, I generally go for guys with average/thick/stocky/"natural" builds but nothing's really set in stone; long hair and drugs are absolute deal-breakers, however. Anyone that's got beautiful eyes and can make me laugh is doing great by my book. Don't take yourself too seriously (because god knows you're not that important) and don't throw faux gang signs in your photos, white boy, because it makes you look like a douche bag.
"I wish I could put your love in a locket / 'cause you're hotter than a Hot Pocket."
"He's the kind of guy you just love to hate until he's inside of you."
"Ugh, if that's your idea of a joke, you must write for Leno."
