Something About Me, Something About You - Now Lets Be Friends

There is something about me that is special. I am the only David like me that I know of. I have always been aware that David means Beloved of God, something I am proud to believe in. I feel it to be the truth. I have sinned and learned the ropes of the game like most people who have walked the dirt road. I am not anywhere near perfect, but I am firm and sharp on my stance in the world that there is 'God'. I have seen enough evil, participated in it and know for fact that our sinns grieve God. I am a backyard machanic and have owned over 180 vehicles in my lifetime. I love to restore my daughters car, a project I am closing in on for the finish. I love to work on her special baby. I love being a Dad and Grand Parent. I was the oldest kid in my family and have always been a leader. I love Football, Olympics, Gymnastics (my wife was a gymnast). I love working in the garden. I landscape some to keep me busy. I also landscape as one of my trades. I love scrap metal,salvage goods,recycling in general. I have raised a family with 5 kids on self employment relating to these two fields. I have written and compiled over 25,000 songs (lyrics) and several thousand poems. I have taught myself to blog (still a noob) after getting my GED four years ago.I am 46. My wife is my childhood sweetheart. I was 15 when we started to date. She is my soul mate. I have 3 sons, Nathan, Daniel, Elijah. All names are biblical. my first born, Nathan, is named after my friend who is Affrican American. My friends nickname is Super Black. When I walk through neighborhoods where one might be affraid, I have my Super Black friend to walk with me. He taught me self defense, karate, nun-chickas', belief in self and friends. He taught my wife self defense and how to incorporate gynast abilities into being a super fighter. She has addequetly stopped her own murder and rape once, fighting like a warrior and sending a perp to jail. She is my hero. I am strong in believing about God. He is my friend and we do speak often. I am an artist and love to paint, take photos, talk to myself as well. I have two grand babies, both are beautiful little girls. I have raised 2 daughters,Destiny and Harmony, both are the elements of my self. I am also a hero to them, Destiny won a contest once describing me as a super hero. I am always proud of her. She is my wonderful grand daughter Gracelynns mommy. I am into all sorts of music but prefer the hard core offensicve kind. Often I feel like those words are aimed at me for being such a rebel. I love concerts, the most notable one I ever went to was Def Leppard. I have lived in Washington, Oregon,Idaho and visited 5 other states. I love Glacier Park and have a future daughter in-law that works there. I love jewelry, collecting music and movies, collecting hotwheels and marbles, and I love antique metal of any kind. I dig treasure hunting as well. I build things when I am bored. I write when I am tired of building things. Most of all, I am human and am greatfull to be alive. I am most of all willing and proud to be friends with so many people around the world. I hope we can all be connected. I hope we can be friends. Now, tell me some things about you!

What a beautiful life you have, PoppaDave! You have been blessed with wonderful friendships, a wonderful wife, and wonderful children, plus a great relationship with your God. You are truly a blessed man with so many talents and, it would seem, wisdom to go along with it. I am glad that I have met you on here, and look forward to getting to know you more.

Your wife thinks your complicated, eh? I, myself, am just simple country folk. I hope that the world will be a better place, and I do what I can do make it so.

She says I am complicated becaue I alwyas seek adventure, looking for bigfoot and aliens and treasures and old books. I collect them (books)because I love knowledge. I seek them (aliens, sasquatch) because i want to answer the mysteries. But sometimes knowledge can get you into a jam. I am good at that. Thank the Heavens for a forgiving God who really cares enough to get involved when he has to. He rules my day every day. I am a simple man at heart, just got too many ideas, things going on and I am hyper.

I am a person that is quite spiritual and strong. I have a strong need to be myself. Being myself gives me strength. I love the water. I am from Tampa, Florida, so there is plenty around me. I am a lover of animals. I am proud of your educational accomplishments and your wife's ability to protect herself. I think your family is wonderful. Your friend of color is a good addition to your life. I appreciate your ability to be creative. I am working on that, after years of being analytical and working with numbers. My new creative endeavor is fashion. I want to start a clothing line. I like to travel, and enjoy music and dancing.

You are a good friend and have kind words. I wish you alot of luck with the fashion design, that is something my daughter Harmony.(she is 12) is into. She fashions doll clothes and her own clothes because she wants to be a desugner and a sunger. U never learned to dance well, I stumble. Thanks for chiming in. ANy other things you would like to share.

I have a guilty pleasure for horror movies, but now they seem like reality. I am concentrating on staying safe, and healthy. I believe in taking care of yourself, and diet is something I focus on greatly. I hate politics and I am a vet.

There are some things getting into the light that scare many. Fear God and no other and you will be safe. Fear God, because he can destroy your soul and erase you if you do not believe in him, otherfwise have faith in his friendship and confidence in his aid. Thank you for your service....it provided my freedoms. I owe you one.

Maybe another time I will talk about myself, but my list would be so little compared to yours. You have led a very rich and full life. Obviously you were raised with a motivation to accomplish things, a heart to care about others, a spirit inspired by God and a confidence to live a full life. Many can be inspired by your post.

i am angelwithkids. i'm the oldest of 3 girls. i'm a mother of two. i have an exhusband, his girlfriend, his son living with our kids, my husband and myself. just recently, i have a classmate living with me as well, only two months after my mother, my sister and her son moved out of my house after living with my family for a year. i take care of a lady that has been involved in a motorcycle accident 4 yrs ago. i've been taking care of her for almost 2 yrs now. my husband works for detention center after working for a state penitentiary for 5 yrs. my daughter just graduated from high school two weeks ago. she's my oldest. she has decided to stay home and go to a community college first then go to a university. my son will be graduating from high school next year. i never intended to have them this close together, but God said differently. i didn't argue. my husband and i've been married for 10 yrs now. i've been divorced for 11yrs. we all get along and do what's right for the kids. my classmate wanted a change of scenery and find a decent job. so she moved in. it's been nice to catch up on our lives over the last 20 years. when i get the time, i love to be on my computer, whether it's mylotting, or on facebook, playing games with my family. swimming or reading. on the rate chances, i'll even get to do some sewing.

I like to tell folks that I'm an average girl with an above average attitude. I love my God! He made me in His image and to me that says it all right there. Now a little about me... I'm an artist/craft person. I teach (mostly private lessons or classes at my church), design, create and sell.I even have my own website where I give free how-to's. I was always "curious" of how things were made and I discovered God gave me this uncanny ability to see stuff in magazines and stores and go home and make it! I also make my own designs. Everyone tells me to make this my living but I just like things the way they are (guess I'm afraid my crafting won't be FUN anymore if I do that)so I've been a retail manager for years. Although I am a native of Pennsylvania I just returned from Florida. I am so very proud and excited to know other people because everyone, I mean EVERYONE, is so unique.

I have never been to Florida, but all of my favorite sports teams reside in Pennsylvania. I am a TOP STEELERS fan, probably the #1 fan in all of the world. Yes, everyone is unique. I too like having a variety of friends and have a goal of adding 1000 friends here in the next several weeks. Then I will go for 10,000 which may be a task. I love reading about others and their experiences. The world is one big soup of opinions and one heck of a discussion. Thanks for responding and adding some details. =)

Hi friend,interesting story and life (; admire that. Really cool. About me.I'm Ayang. I'm the eldest among my siblings. Only three Of us. My last sibling is the ONLY boy ,even he is the only boy,I'm the most pampered daughter among all. I love to make friends,cause I believe everybody needs friends but must choose wisely... My family know all my friends .. both my family and friends pampered me too much. I declar and admit that I've grown up,I've told them not to pamper me so much but they are not listening.. I feel like I'm a baby being pampered by them in a way like everything I want I'll get. From there and then that is when they(my family and friends) started to called me "baby" and that name stick to me every since I'm 3. Till now that name "baby" stick to me. That is where I got my name plus nick " ayang baby". Oppss. Sorry I got no idea what to write but this is part Of my life and part of me
