BioIn two years, I will be 30.
It's a milestone.
It's considered by many to be the end of youth.
It's also the time many people find themselves married, with kids, in a career, and switching gears into full blown adulthood.
Not that I care to live by society's standards (the last ten years is proof of that).
But there is something that I would like to finally put to rest in my life.
The dating scene.
To put it bluntly, I'm tired of fucking around.
I'm ready to get serious, make this a top priority,and find a person who I want to spend the rest of my life with.
The best piece of advice my father gave me was "I felt I couldn't be the man I wanted to be and do what I wanted in my life until I had this part taken care of."
I didn't really connect with that as a 19-year-old, but a decade later, I now understand.
I know who I am, I know what I want in a woman, and I won't settle for anything less.
I've been single for the last year of my life. I wasn't trying.
But that all changes now.
My personal goal is to have met the person I'm going to marry by January 1st, 2011.
This is my two-year pursuit. And I'm documenting all the speed bumps, wrong turns, and collisions along the way.
