I'm a divorced dad of a 14 year old son, who means the world to me. I work full time and carry a pager (evil thing), which is the reason I have started internet dating. Most people consider me quiet and shy, until they get to know me. I listen to all kinds of music from Godsmack, Metallica, Distrurbed to Sugarland, and Montgomery Gentry. I watch mostly action/suspense movies, but I do enjoy a romantic comedy every so often. I love going to the beach and building sandcastles with my son. I enjoy a brisk jog with my beagle or anyone else tangled up in the leash. I collect comic books and have lots of comic book art that I display. It is a hobby that my son and me enjoy.12/5/09 I gave my dog Dipstick up for adoption due to my hectic work schedule. My birthday reading: Salutations adventurer beachbum069!

Your birthday is of the philosopher. People born on January 6th are forever looking beneath the surface for meaning and significance in events. they always try to see the spark of goodness in others but this spiritual, philosophical approach to life can mean that other people often dismiss them as childlike or naive, in the process underestimatingtheir tremendous energy and intelligence.

Willing to work hard and dedicate themsleves to their goals, thsoe born on this day can overcome their natural shyness, introspection and gentleness when they are called to defend their convictions and their ideals. However, because they trust their instincts so much and believe that everything that happens to them has significance, there is a danger of them always rejecting alternative viewpoints and beign labaled unrealistic, unreasonable and stubborn at times. The tendency to expect others to think like them can prove too challenging for those who are not as philosophically minded. Despite their stubborn streak and outspokeness, January 6th people also have a tender side to them that can be easily hurt when their input isn't valued or people don't take them seriously. They may deal with their hurt by rebellng against authority or indulging in irresponsible behavior, but later in life, around the age of forty-five, they learn that, although cathartic, constant rebeillion can never be the whole answer. It is important for them to find a place to express their wild side, but sport or work or study is ften their savior because it provides the boundaries and calls upon the discipline they need to help them handle their emotions and channel their energies.

Having a wide circle of intelligent friends can stop them becoming overly dependent on a partner. Career (born visionaries) In work, as in life, these people have a vision; if they can't comunicate it effectively in their profession, they may decide to go it alone, either by setting up their own business or by becoming self-employed. They make ideal therapists, doctors, counselors, engineers, architects, property developers, computer programmers, psychologists or alternative health pracioner. They may also be drawn toward religion or spirituality.
