HELLO EVERYBODY!

Introductions are usually the hardest thing to write are they not? .... that was a rhetorical question, no need to answer, but someone will anyways lol

the thing that makes it tough is that your introduction are people's first impression about you and that is the longest lasting impression they will hold, so having said that i hope those that read this walk away thinking " this is a good dude" lol

i have a dog rescue with currently 6 dogs, why do i do it? other than obviously i love dogs, i don't really know to tell the truth, its just in me, its who i am, i remember being young and watching people abuse animals and treat them with this malice in their hearts and not doing anything or saying anything about it so i don't really know, trying to redeem myself afterall is it not a chinese proverb that once proclaimed "sometimes doing nothing is evil within itself?"

but one can argue in the words of oscar wilde "No man is rich enough to buy back his past." i'm not trying to do that but i do feel as though maybe today i could do something about it, the past is what shapes us though is it not? i reminded by what Aeschylus once wrote "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."

if you don't at least like dogs, i'm sorry i'm not the one

i live by myself in a condo that's been in this never ending remodel process, it was 2/1 but i added another bedroom, adding another restroom and after that i'll add yet another bedroom, why does a single guy who live by himself need 4/2? we'll see if this polygyny thing really takes shape,

i remodel homes for a living so in the day i'm usually not available but am usually free at night so that's probably the best time to contact me, i've been in this business for a few years but i've been around it my whole life, my father owns the company and incidentally stays across the street from me, no joke, talking about staying close to your loved ones right? lol

educationally, i left UH with a 3.12 gpa, yeah i know pathetic, it should've been at least 3.8 but i shall return because my academic life and all those years i've invested would've meant nothing, i'm just trying to improve my home first, so i can have roommates, reduce my debt load, pursue my athletic interests and return to my school. it will come, "what toils in the dark shall come to light" i will graduate but not now.

it took me 7 years to graduate high school because of extrinsic factors in my life way beyond my control not because i was dumb but i got a diploma anyways even though i received a G.E.D., it was a goal of mine and i never relented on the pursuit

i'm more about the journey not necessarily the destination, like countless others life has not been kind to me, i've worked most of my life since i was 11, from washing car windows, working in grocery stores for substandard wages, etc. but what keeps me going is my determination to do better, to be better and i always have two things hope and a sense of humor

speaking of athletic interests i'm referring specifically to boxing, i used to box throughout high school, the farthest i got was when i was given bronze at nationals, yes given you only win gold, you're given everything else, no i'm not a violent person but my goal was to be an olympian and a professional more than a decade ago, that hasn't changed in my mind although now it would be more difficult but i can't give up on my dreams, never give up on your dreams and i want someone with dreams, with goals in their lives they want to pursue so that we may all work and strive to achieve those things in life

i'm in the texas state guard right now, private e-1, i originally wanted to be in the marines but unfortunately it has not worked out, but i will have time in grade in the state guard and then try and transfer to the national guard and then transfer finally in the marines, i'm more than likely going to do the reserve side of things, i got a dog rescue and a home so it's better that way for now

i'm too honest some would say and maybe brutally honest, i prefer to hear the truth that hurts then hear a lie that feels good, i practice what i preach and unfortunately it's cost me many things, this whole truth thing but i can't change who i am, i can't lie with ill intent it's not happening, so if you think you're fat don't ask me do i look fat if you know you've gained weight, its not gonna be good for either of us but i'm not gonna lie so don't put me in that awkwardness

if you don't like the truth and want someone to sugar coat everything, i'm not the one

i don't know if there's more i should disclose or update at this point but if the time comes i'll post it here, thanks for reading

if you made it through everything, say i made it through!
