Several weeks back I found a cool app on my cell phone that gave me the ability to track my daily food intake for breakfast, lunch & dinner. My weight loss has come to a complete halt and it’s time to really start managing it from this point forward. My goal is to lose 30 lbs between now and whenever.... I have monitored my weight and have showed my ability to maintain which I am extremely proud of. Now begins the real test to drop the next parts.

The app is called Calorie Counter which enables me to scan bar codes or put the data in manually. Also there is a website that it uploads the information to which is awesome called fatsecret.com. Check it out.

My Life Without Love...

The other night I took on the challenge of opening one of those online dating profiles. To say the least I was annoyed with the thought of putting myself out there like a billboard advertisement with the bold caption of desperate listed beside my picture.

I am that guy who has always searched for love, but was never brave enough to give it a try. Hey I found several attractions to married people and I thought why is that? Well, I felt I was safe from them because hey they were married and there was nothing that could happen with that. I must have that “commitment” issue, the problem goes well beyond that I am sure. But starting there is a good place.

Well like I said I opened a e-harmony account and one for match.com. I am in no way putting money into such a site because I just can’t see going thru with that.

Here’s a tidbit on what I posted for the opening statement...
Let me know what you think :-)

I do NOT like to sit here and write out long winded post telling how I am just this intelligent, witty, hot looking guy who is the life of the party because let’s be honest right here… right now. If I were that guy why would I be on here doing this right now? As I’m writing this I can only imagine myself on an interstate billboard sign with the clear message of desperately in need with call him written out to the side.

What I can tell you is that I am the guy that people talk to and call on for help in their time of need. I’m a great listener and try to pay close attention to the details that most would overlook. I’m totally that closet nerd that dances to Missy Elliott / Lady GaGa in his room and car but have never shared the moment with anyone else. I am that guy who would get up to make a complete idiot of himself just to see that lovely smile on your face. Yeah whatever right….. It’s me though.

I’m not the guy with boatloads of friends because I just never really have been good with making friends and keeping them. I’m such a shy dude, but the people who know me would swear this is not true. Maybe I just need time to open up and get to know you and who you are before I feel comfortable opening up?

I’m the guy who works in I. T. and love tinkering with the latest, greatest gadgets (that I can afford) :-) I love my job and I sometimes really get consumed in it. My favorite quote to tell everyone about what I do is just state I am a computer babysitter and love seeing the confused look on their face. Well I do really; I babysit a multi-million dollar room and to be honest that’s just boring to most people to hear. I don’t go into details because hey do you want to hear about me rambling on how I watch a screen full of code/messages rotating information on a constant basis.

Family is the biggest thing in my life; I find that without them you’re building something on a crumbling foundation of nothing. I hope one day to have a family of my own and maybe twins could happen (Awesome Right?). I always wanted to have a sibling closer to my age and think that would just be awesome to have twin kids. Ok I’m jumping right? I want to bring my family/ your family / our family together to make one wonderfully big family. And the thought of having them all together under one roof celebrating the holidays / special occasions would just be a dream come true. I truly enjoy doing the holiday entertaining thing, friends, family the bigger the better :-D

Let me get to preference…..

I don’t like doing the judgment thing. I’m not going into my whole story about why I am the guy who can’t tell you what he’s looking for. I was a big boy one time (which I still see myself as big?) but point being I was judged because of my size and not my personality. Here goes… I’m not saying looks aren’t important but I want to know more about your personality, I want to know your true deep down self and your everyday actions. This is what I’m looking for. Because one day the looks are going to fail us and if all I fell in love was your looks then I feel we may have a problem later on in life.
HEY IT HAPPENS!

So if I’m the guy you might be interested in hit me up for more info.. Interested in friendship hey I’m down with that, maybe more let me know. Looking forward to hearing more about you.
