Now for something completely different... I've recently relocated from San Francisco, CA and had lived there for the past 14 years while I worked in Silicon Valley. I am a disabled Gulf War Veteran (due to a back injury that forces me to lie down and stretch after several hours of activity. Typically no one can tell that I have an injury) and I have two boys that currently live with their mother in CA (ages 8 & 6) that I couldn't be prouder of. I'm fairly outgoing, like & have a few tattoos, enjoy travel, and my friends told me that they believe I'm funny as heck (admit I'm silly & sarcastic sometimes), rational, compassionate, positive, & confident. They stated that my best quality is that I'm honest (but I admit I do tell a few white lies to save feelings when needed). Many people say that it's too hard to be honest, but I feel like you can't build even a friendship let alone a relationship when it's based on lies. I'm told that I'm a good listener, so my friends tend to ask my opinion or just talk until they figure out the issue themselves. I enjoy stimulating conversations, treating others as I like to be treated, being self-sufficient & keeping fit.
