Hi I'm Clint. Let me start off by saying that I'm not into the whole club/bar scene to meet people. I'm never really good at kicking off an interesting conversation so I wouldn't do good in those places and I'm not really sure how well I can do on a dating site since I'm not used to this type of scenario either. I've never been a very talkative person in most situations anyway. Here's to trying anyway.
A little history on me
I worked retail at Walmart for 10+ years until I got tired of it a took on a career change. I currently help my dad with the family business in the timber business and chicken farming which is quite different from what I saw myself doing growing up. I went to college to be a computer programmer, but all of the jobs in that field at the time were far off and I didn't want to move away. I used to enjoy working on computers growing up but I've since forgotten most of it as well as my college skills because I don't have much use for it now. The phrase 'use it or lose it' is quite true with me. I still use my tech knowledge to help my dad with his 'computering' at work. (his word, not mine) Not all is lost. With my current job, I'm truly a jack of all trades. I've had to learn several new skills so that on any given day I could be an accountant, mechanic, welder, gopher, mill hand, or anything in between. Down side is that this type of job can have me starting early in the morning and working until late at night. Late nights don't bother as much as the early mornings. I hate getting up early.
hobbies, like and dislikes
I love anime, music, video games, & other geeky things. Although I work full-time , I try to spend my free time watching movies/TV. Comedy is my favorite (seriously, who doesn't like to laugh and feel good?), but my least is horror. I don't understand the fun in trying to scare yourself, or worse yet, watching horror to NOT get scared. What kind of logic is that? It's like going to a comedy show to NOT laugh. I mean, really?
I've enjoyed watching anime since I was a teen (if you don't know what that is then you should just give up on getting along with me). I'm impressed with how anime has become more popular and well know these days, but I fear there's still not many local women into it and thus making it hard for me date anyone quirky like me.
I enjoy listening to new and old music when I'm traveling around for work. I like pop/rock/alternative mostly such as: Skillet, Nickelback, Daughtry, Seether, AC/DC & many many more! I listen to country as well but mostly because that's the majority of radio stations around here. I want to drive with music rather that drive in silence.
I also love to play video games when I have the time. Thanks to work and life, I'm no longer up on the latest systems or releases but I still love to play. RPGs, racing, shooters anything that is fun. I hate sports games though. It means the world to me to be able to sit down with a friend or girlfriend and go on a gaming adventure for a couple of hours. If you think video games are dumb, I know there are different strokes for different folks, but please move on.
I used to practice the guitar as a hobby but I sucked and decided to quit because it felt more like work than just a hobby. Several years ago I tried to learn a new song each month then post it on youtube for fun. Feel free to look up my username, cwvowel.
I'm not a party animal, never have been really. I'm usually a couch potato. Staying at home is just the type of person I am plus I'm usually tired after work. I used to travel some with my friends and go to museums, concerts, and cons, but once again work and just getting older has put an end to most of that. I don't like sports (just putting that out there). I'm fairly goody,goody (no drinking, smoking, think before I act stuff) but I hardly consider myself a saint. I grew up in the south, but I consider myself more nerd than country. Also I prefer the quiet rural life over a busy city life. I can get anxious in large busy crowds.
pets
I have cats. Started with one, but she got frisky before I got around to having her spayed. She had a few kittens then I took them all to be fixed. They are outside pets. I enjoy pets but I don't want them living inside with me. Cats make for nice pets. Low maintenance and they are great at keeping the pests in check.
Are you still with me this far down the page? Impressive. I even lost myself a few times while proofreading this lol.
Wanna know more? Ask me! Thats why Im here. It's ok if you're shy. I am too but just be yourself. Just give me something to work with. Also I must warn you that I have a dark sense of humor so expect plenty of sarcasm and dirty jokes. Hopefully, you can take a joke.
