Looking 4 the 1
What am I doing here?
So what am I doing here? And what is with the name of this website? Well, I think I can answer these questions. I'll start with the second, because I think it should help me to answer the first. The name of the site sorta speaks for itself. I am looking for "the one". But, well... I've never "puchased" a web domain (is that the right term... "web domain"?) In any event, I first tried "findmywife.com" . Taken. I was offered "findmywives.com" instead; I was actually kinda shocked that it was still available... anyhow, that didn't really convey the right message, so... I passed. If anyone is interested, "lookingformywife", taken; but, again to my surprise, "lookingformywives.com", still available - go figure. But I digress. The name of this site seemed practical, if not a bit cheesy, but I can live with cheesy. So, why am I here? Well, again, I'm here to document my attempts to find love, the one, my wife... all of these things. It's such a silly process in a way, so I figured, in an attempt to keep it fun (and it really should be fun, shouldn't it?), I would document my journey. But there are other reasons that I do this. In no particular order, here they are:
the "mom" factor": I am 35 (update, now 36), and my mom wants her a daughter-in-law, STAT. In one of those happy coincidences between mother and son, we actually want the same thing here, and though I assure her that I am equally excited to find "the one" as she is for me to make the find (I mean, we're talkin' almost daily "reminders" here, and my parents live on the other side of the country, so...), I'm convinced that this website will help to reassure her. So, there's that... and then there's the whole "writing thing": a long time ago I used to fancy myself some kind of writer. I can't say that I was ever any good, though perhaps I was. Either way, I was passionate it about it, and I miss it. These days, my writing is limited to legal briefs and emails... oh, and I text. I've succumbed to the "lol" and "ttyl" and, well, I don't know them all yet, but I'm learning the lingo. But it's not the same. So, now I have a new forum in which to write (or is it blog?), right here at "looking4the1.com". Damn... that is cheezy, but the cheese be damned!

Very rare image of me in a suit.... AND smiling about it.
