Ultra Dave: Just the Facts

I thought today would be a good day to share some things about myself. I'm not sure how inclusive this will be. I may hold a few things back to use as a separate post later.

I came out to my parents when I was 15 years old. (they thought it was a phase.)

My longest relationship was almost ten years. It ended seven years ago.

I've had my share of flings and one night stands.

AIDS has wiped out most all of my friends,(10 so far) while I remain alone and negative.

I've had two D.U.I.'s , after the second, I stopped drinking.

I've been robbed at knife point, the only clear description I could give the officer was "He was uncut and limp."

My sister and I were both adopted as infants. I have no desire to find my biological parents.

I use to party hardy in my twenty's and somewhat into my mid-thirties. Now I don't go out at all.

I love to eat out at restaurants when I can afford it. I have even gone by myself several times.

I had an acquaintance that was strangled to death and had his penis cut off and placed in his mouth. (never solved)

I had a friend die of testicular cancer. (check your balls, guys)

I had a high school classmate commit suicide.

I had a close friend die in a head on collision with a drunk driver.

I live in an 18 year old trailer, in a trailer park, that my parents bought me to get me out of their house. (there is a hole in the floor on one side of the bed I have to step over and a broken out window in the living room.)

My sister pays for my Internet service.

My parents are paying my expenses while in I'm back in school.

I attempted suicide in high school. (my mother was furious that I used her pills and threw the coffee mug at the wall, knocking a hole in it.)

I've been in and out of therapy since high school for depression.

I was officially diagnosed about 20 years ago, and recently added Inattentive Disorder to the list.

I have very good taste and a panache for design. I originally went to college to be an architect.

I love to write and have secretly longed to be a novelist. (not so secret anymore)

I have a dry, wicked sense of humor.

I love movies, thanks mostly to my ex.

I had, to date, thirty three jobs in my life, thus far, and expect to have a few more.

I've been on food stamps before.

I've been on unemployment several times in my life.

I'm currently getting counseling from Vocational Rehabilitation.

I've received medication before through Health Quest, and seeking it again.

I have only had anal sex with five people in my life. Two were boyfriends, one a crush, one I was briefly dating, and the other a stranger I picked up at a bar.

I lived in Tampa for about 6 months in 1989.

I've had one wreck in my life, and several speeding tickets.

My current therapist thinks I'm well adjusted.

I'm a very loving and generous person.

I've help out two friends that needed a place to stay, without cost to them.

My ex let me drive his BMW 750 back from a trip to Atlanta. (still my favorite car.)

I had my truck repossessed once, my father got it back for me.

I had to let my last new car go back, (I loved that car) to help take care of my grandfather and I had just lost another job. (my father brought me a used Suzuki)

I'm a very spiritual person, but don't care for big organized churches.

My lowest weight was 145#, my heaviest was 252#, my current is 210#, my best was 175# with a 32 inch waist, a 44 inch chest and 10% body fat back in 2005.

I have had dentures since third grade. (bike accident)

I have never broken a bone, and do not have any scars.

I have three tattoos. (a dragon, a cross, and a smurf)

If this doesn't scare away every potential suitor, then I may should be afraid. I wish my life had turned out differently, but it didn't. I learned a lot about myself, my family, my friends, and life in general. I can't change the past, but I can learn from it. I wish I were perfect, but I don't think I would be as interesting.
