Average fun-loving, easy-going, casual bear, 6'3", medium brown hair, blue eyes, full brown beard with lots of red in it (and plenty of white these days), furry and weigh around 260lbs. I like riding rollercoasters, trains, eating out, movies, and the outdoors (camping and hiking). Always looking to meet new friends, and to catch up with old ones. Living out near the Springfield MA and Hartford CT area.

I'm playful, casual, comfortable, romantic, passionate, sensitive and have a great sense of humor. OK, evil sense of humor. I also have an evil, infectious laugh (I got it from my Dad). Just ask my friends. I'm just a big ol' warm-hearted bear. I like to make friends and keep them as part of extended family.

I like the outdoors. I love waterfalls, the ocean and other large bodies of water. I enjoy camping, hiking to places with a view, going out to the movies, or staying in and snugglin' up on the couch. I also enjoy hanging out with the bears and socializing. I like to go dancing once in awhile and just plain have fun with the guys. I love humor, comedy, jokes and being silly. I enjoy being socialable, and I enjoy spending quiet time alone.

Some of my interests also include, but are not limited to: Riding rollercoasters and other amusement park rides (ever ride "Superman, The Ride Of Steel" in MA or NITRO in NJ or Goliath in Montreal?), listening to and composing music, movies, eating out, dancing, camping, model railroading (N scale), gardening, going to renaissance faires and festivals once in awhile, relaxing, socializing and simply having fun with my friends. Laughter IS the song of the soul. And I like gettin' wet once in awhile. And YES, It IS fun to be Santa!

Let's start and end as friends, realizing that we are all human and make mistakes. We all need love, understanding and forgiveness in our lives. Our experiences are what make us unique and strong. We all need to take pride in who we are at any given moment, every day we are alive. It can all change in the blink of an eye. So, be happy and share the love in your heart. It will come back to you. Well, I try to live by those words everyday, it isn't easy. Sometimes, we all make mistakes. I try to correct them as I am able, let go of the crap, and move on with my life. Life is simply too short.

Remember, if you can't handle the answer, don't ask the question.

Do not be impressed by what other people do,
be inspired to make something happen yourself.

I enjoy meeting new friends. So drop me an email and say "howdy"! We both might be pleasantly surprized. ;-)
