Once upon a time I worked as a CPA. Then I got bored (being a cube mouse = suck), quit, had a spell of reflection in semi-retirement, and left for California with a van but otherwise no plan (done...the journey was incredible but I didn’t get that “you-need-to-stay-here” vibe from Cali, and it’s just too damn expensive to aimlessly wander around there, so I came back for the next phase).
If you’re looking for a sugar daddy, you’re looking in the wrong place 😄. I don’t even sprinkle much sugar on myself. (I don’t like “stuff.” Plus I kinda get a perverse pleasure out of depriving myself of most things that aren’t absolutely necessary.)
My small eyes betray that I’m the type to run away from marriage (or so I’ve been told).
I’m not short, but I’m not TALL tall (though at 5’9” I would’ve qualified to be part of George Washington’s very-specifically-heighted Life Guard :D ).
And if a minimalist existence, beady little eyes, and an average height aren’t enough, I’m apparently not a super nice guy — so if you ARE still interested at this point, what the hell is wrong with you??? :D . Although I DO sympathize deeply with the agony that accompanies the seemingly interminable search for love - especially when hope suddenly rockets upward, only to plummet just as quickly into the barren desert of reality. So despite any "super not niceness", I do apologize if I’m responsible for any such dashings of hope. I take no pleasure in it (until I feel I've been unreasonably & maliciously slighted of course, then it's game on - until I decide retribution isn't worth my attention, which typically happens sooner rather than later).
SO without further ado, welcome to my page of random thoughts of miscellany!
Since everyone loves displaying their Meyers-Briggs personality: SWMLFSFWAB. Wait that's my Sunday Classifieds ad, just a sec. (Actually, if you're interested - 16 Personalities says that I'm an INTJ. I disagree with certain aspects, but for the most part the type seems to describe me pretty well.)
By the way did you know that Asian folks' retort to English speakers making fun of their languages is to make fun of the constant 'ess' sounds that we make when we speak? It's true too. There are a helluva lot of 'esses' in the English language. Think about it next time you make fun of Japanese or Chinese. Psspsspsspss
I love when you ladies drop the “I” and get straight to the point...”am a nice girl”, “am looking for a God fearing man”, “am ready for marriage”...it really sets the blood a-boil. (Who am I to talk though honestly — I’m a one-trick pony. English is the only language I can speak...how boring.)
I like to scramble my combo locks to 0666 after I lock them -- especially in gyms, to ward off other gym-goers from choosing a locker close to mine (I don’t think it works so well in warding those other gym-goers away from my locker though (I could be in an otherwise empty locker room and the only other person is using the next locker over. AND they’re IN the locker room using their locker at the exact same time that I am 🙄.) Anyway I don’t worship Satan, but I wouldn’t exactly call myself God-fearing. I'm far more mischievous and devilish than I am angelic, so I'm probably closer to being the Antichrist than an Archangel. )
And come to think of it, I enjoy many heavenly things in fact. The Bible for example. My favorite passage is from Ezekiel 23:20:
“ “For she lusted after her paramours, whose sexual members were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.”
Anyway, back to more miscellany...I’m a (one-time rabid, now-time casual) football fan for a few months, and a serial sports apatheur otherwise.
I'll gladly talk politics and I like to stay moderately informed of such but I don't plan on ever voting, at any level of government. UPDATE as of 2018 Midterm Elections: broke my voting cherry. Oops.)
People who pronounce huge without the h tickle me.
I loathe when people use the ellipsis instead of the period at the end of thoughts in text / email conversation. It exudes an "everybody knows this" or "I have better things to do with my time" vibe. Condescending. Bleh.
I tend to think that 'find my king / be his queen' stuff is a bit too monarchical. So hopefully that's not your dating mantra.
For a long time I despised the use of the textcronym 'lol', but it's actually an amazing proxy for a snicker. Lol.
I’m a self-proclaimed master of communicating tone through the written word and I pride myself on my library of techniques. And I generally loathe talking to people that make no attempt at this. I'm starting a workshop to teach my trade secrets. Still waiting to hear from the SBA about my pending loan.
A girlfriend once gave me a "Q&A A Day" journal as a gift, seemingly not knowing that it would become one of the favorite gifts that I've ever received. One of my favorite entries...
Q: "What would you like your epitaph to read?"
A: "When I die, I'd like to be put in a burlap sack and thrown into a hole in the ground - no epitaph necessary. As I came into this world, a being of no particular import, so shall I exit it."
I really appreciate the words gander, dapper, dandy, mammoth (as an adjective), kook, swell, thrice, and nonplussed. (Still like these words.)
I always laugh when scrolling through a profile and the “hates smoking” blends in with the bit about children, and for a split second it registers in my mind as “hates children”...and I stop & think “wait, what??”
Speaking of children though, the average white child is just not very cute. I guess I don’t generally think of stuff as “cute”, but black kids are “cuter” for lack of another word. (So obviously I want my own unborn children to be at least somewhat black.)
When I went to MEPS for the first time (to join the Navy), when we were getting their classroom debriefing on all the rules & disclosures, before they started doing all the medical shit, the Army Captain leading it was asking everyone what they wanted to do in the branch they were choosing (on their chest sticker)...
...when he got to me I said “Oh I’m not really interested in joining the military, I just wanted to show someone my anus.” (You have to show a person your anus at MEPS.) Turns out signing away 5 years of your life isn't worth a quick laugh. It also so happens that I WAYYY over-romanticized joining the Navy and it actually sucks enormous ass in real life.
By the way I tried so many times to use a three-letter-word (plus “hole”) there, but it kept getting bogarted. The word anus is still funny though 🤷♂️
By the way by the way: I used “bogart” and intended to look up whether I used it in the right context, but I forgot to until much later. Oops. And when I looked it up, I don’t think it’s original intent works perfectly, but it still sorta does. I mean the site police DID kinda take my words and deprived everyone else of enjoying them 😄.
I can’t stand when people won’t be quiet in movie theaters. I was sitting next to this woman once (seeing Queen & Slim — 👌👌 — Jodie Turner-Smith, my goodness)...anyway this woman wouldn’t stop narrating and saying every single thought that passed through her head throughout the whole thing (she was sitting in the seat next to me), so after the movie ended I put my gum in her purse when she wasn’t looking.
Oh - one last thing: I'm often deadpan and sarcastic. So some of the zingers above may or may not have been delivered with completely honest conviction.
Really though:
Aside from that...around people that I don't know too well, I'm generally quiet & reserved - pensive perhaps...I rarely ever speak before I think, and sometimes I simply think and decide that there's nothing worth saying. This applies moreso when I'm with GROUPS of people I don't know too well, not necessarily ONE person...I'm naturally introverted, and while I can turn it on when I feel the need, being around large-ish groups is an energy drain (the more people, the faster the drain). That being said, I'm weird...and if the person I'm with is weird too, the chemistry can be transformative. And I can be an entirely different person...lively, animated, talkative. Think of it this way - my blanket personality is to be more or less guarded and quiet until I get a feel for the sitch. BUT - if you engage me in a sincere way, I'll open right up. [Check, Check, and Check. High five, twenty-something me. Don’t change. (Well, I guess technically speaking you already didn’t.)]
Also, I consider myself pretty well-cultured, so I can participate in a wide variety of convos. Obscure pieces of pop culture, random history factoids, arbitrary behind-the-music style trivia...all of that tends to stick in my mind (and the stuff that I SHOULD remember doesn't :D ). I don't really like making meaningless smalltalk though, so I can come off as unfriendly or unapproachable to the bystander. Nevertheless, don't worry - this isn't necessarily the case. In general I just don't feel like talking or inviting conversation if there's nothing meaningful to be gained from it. And it can be hard not to wear that feeling on my face sometimes. And I can be a moody [censored] sometimes. Just fair warning. (*solemnly nods*)
Lastly: if you feel sorry for yourself, I won’t. If you persevere though, I’ll probably admire the hell out of you.
In a nutshell: I’m externally stony (often), but internally soft -- especially for heartwarming stories and underdogs.
Care to continue?
I am looking for
Hopefully I've scared away people that I don't think I would fit with, but just in case I haven't...
If you’re from Africa, jump on board baby! I’ve got a few wives already but I’m always looking to add more :D
Actually screw that — I may turn myself into a mail-order husband. I’ve spent enough time here in the States.
(Though I can’t do that for the foreseeable future unfortunately since the Navy owns me for the next handful of years)
Kidding aside...
Tall, slim, black.
Black girl magic is legit, because I love black women. It's not a fetish. It's not a bucket list thing. I just love black women. (And I have almost no romantic interest in white women.)
Like, if I saw an attractive white woman, I might think to myself "hmm...she's pretty. (one second later) I wonder what I'll eat for dinner..."
...on the other hand, if I saw an attractive black woman, I'd probably think "Holy shit. Starting conversations with strangers would be an awesome superpower to have right about now."
I'm looking for someone who is not concerned with social status, acceptance, or achievement... Who is less focused on material possession and more focused on spiritual gain. Someone whose view of modern relationships is less of the 1950s-era homemaker-wife/breadwinner-husband stereotype and more of the gender-neutral partnership dynamic. Yeah.
Unfortunately I'm not above looking beyond physical attraction, so it's gotta be there. I quite fancy gals with short hair. Like really short hair. Like really really short hair. Simple, low maintenance (presumably), natural, beautiful. Think Lupita Nyong'o. (Aside: incredible performance in 'Us'. Love that gal.) But if you don’t have or plan to have short hair that’s not a deal breaker. I just like it. And I’m a sucker for brown eyes too — so if you wear light-colored contacts for aesthetic purposes, I might be inclined to wear contacts to make my eyes a different color too 😏. I wore orange contacts for Halloween 2009 to be Edward Cullen...maybe I’ll be a Twilight vampire again.
As far as make-up goes: I don't hate it by any means, but I also don't hate when the wearer's made-up self at least somewhat resembles their natural self - and vice versa. (when it comes down to it - to a certain extent, less is more.) I also tend to be drawn to strong natural eyebrows. I don't think this feature gets the lip service it deserves from the general public and pop culture; at least not in terms of what we're all told that "men like". Look up celebrities without eyebrows if you don't believe me. In any event, assuming the physical attraction is there, I'm much more concerned with finding a not-so-conventional kindred spirit.
When it boils down to it though: I'm in my mid-thirties and the gray hairs are starting to sprout...time to get serious, get married, have kids, yadda yadda.
Actually you know what? You got pretty toes? Forget everything I just said. Marry me.
