    • About Me

      Hi! I have not been on DS in a long time. I decided that it was time to change my profile. I erased all that mess that I wrote and I am making a fresh start. More Simply put I am a 48 years old divorced Gay/Bi male Living on my own now. I have been Truly Blessed with two beautiful children. My wonderful son who is 20 years old lives with me. And my beautiful daughter who is 17 years old lives with her mom. But I see her regularly and we have a wonderful relationship. My children are truly my heart and soul. And despite everything that has happened to me in my life. I know that God has blessed me many times over through the years with my two children. I am extremely Spirtual by nature and that has gotten me through many obstacles and difficult times in my life. I have made some bad decisions and choices in my life that have affected my life greatly down the road. So while I've gained alot of valuable experience in my life. I know I hail from an "Imperfect World" By virture of that I do not judge anyone else by their mistakes or choices in life. It is the present and the future that interests me most in all of Gods people. Peace.

    • Interests

      I love animals all kinds really, I'm a nature nut from my earliest memories. My loyal and lovable dog Monty is six years old. And now that I'm on my own I've adopted two cats one was a kitten now grown named KC and a 2 year old named Oliver. I also adopted a surprise stray who found me one cold winter night last year and followed me to my car. Not a cat or a dog but a ferret her name is Remi. I also have a fish tank and I'm a tropical fish buff. I really enjoy them as a hobby. I'm a plant lover also and I love gardening and landscaping and stuff like that!
