Tmbedrock, 43

I'm a single father, spend my days mostly taking care of my children, looking to escape from rural miserable nowhere to a place more liberal, welcome, developed, and positive (perhaps Silicon Valley).

I'm vegan, so are my kids. I have 3, oldest is 8.

I've got a thing lately for romance / romcom movies -- esp "The Notebook".

I'm soft hearted, have unfortunately spent my last 9 years with my head in a corporate atmosphere, and have lost touch of my true sensitive, positive self.

I'm hoping to find out just what I am capable of, to give my children a positive life, finally flourish socially, and dream of someday finding that special someone to fall for...

My background is computer programming, but I aspire to find other means to supporting my children -- I have creative passion for yummy vegan food and would like to somehow get involved in promoting it.

I love my children tremendously. They are what drives me to want a better life. They are my everything. I want to be the father they deserve, connected, sensitive, unconditionally loving, inspirational, motivational. I strongly hate the idea of the American career with sacrificing one's life for the priorities of corporate shareholders rather than one's family.

Personality, I'm laid back, relaxed, love nature, simplistic, spiritual but not religious, and have an unusual powerful sense of self-love that unfortunately gets misinterpreted as laziness, at least in the mind of certain self-sacrificing miserable people that have been in my life. One's self and one's family come WAY before the needs of society, and one needs to consider one's own well-being before overworking one's self in life and making chaos and unhappiness the norm.

All in all, I'm looking to reach my potential, to explore all that I am capable of being -- to succeed as a connected father, capable self-employed businessman, loving/giving member of my community, and find harmony in my life.
