am 45, no children except my pets, a li'l pug dog and 2 cats. I like kids, did want them, story for another day. I love love love music...mostly heavy metal and rock but I like other stuff too. I love animals, taking pictures, beach, boating, outdoor activities, socializing and harleys! I hate this part because I hate trying to describe myself. I used to be a bit of a political junkie, but I gave most of that up. When it comes to politics, ignorance is bliss. I hate Fox News so if you love it, don't bother! Sums up some of my political views right there. I don't watch a lot of television, but like a good movie and sometimes news. Respect is of utmost importance to me in any relationship along with honesty and loyalty. I speak my mind but choose my battles carefully. And I've honestly been through a lot...which has made me a better, kinder, more compassionate person who doesn't sweat the small stuff in life! Or at least I try. Life is too short to be anything but kind. I am strong yet sensitive, caring, fun loving and love to laugh. I kinda wear my heart on my sleave so I hate head games and you'll find I am a pretty genuine person. I am looking for someone who is also genuine. I'm a little old fasioned yet still a product of my generation. I recently moved back to Long Island from Upstate NY's Catskill Mountains where I lived for 7 years. I love the mountains but had enough of it for a while. I'd love to meet a guy who wants to take me to meet his parents BEFORE he takes me to his bedroom.
