Now that I've been on this site a short time I'm surprised at how hard it is to make online friends.  Sure it takes effort and sometimes it's a bit mundane butwhat do you expect when you try to get to know someone via email.

Check under music for some youtube videos. I'll learn how to imbed them later.

I'm just an average good guy. I"m Italian by background, single, never married with no children.I come from a big family and have been around nieces, nephews and family friends children allot.  I try to stay positive, be honest and upfront while minding my own business.

I'm a good listener and feel I may have something good to offer as far as being a good penpal. I'm here to take give my best effort and not be a fly by nighter. I realize not all contacts will click.

I grew up in a smaller country town and now live in a surburb area. So I can relate to most living situations. Coming from a big family I learned to do things for myself early on. I would cook and do my own laudry while still in high school. I lived my own schedule and being the youngest all the kids had their own lives. I played sports in high school, had average grades, did a two year technical college, and a four year school as an adult earning a BA in Accounting (never worked in the field though).

I"ve always like sports and music allot. I follow sports but in moderation. I still seek new music to listen to and enjoy adding to my big music collection. Computers and cds have made things real nice but also has added a ton of work with mp3 convertion or making backup copies.

I try to live clean with only consuming moderate alcohol. Micro brew beer (homemade stuff from smaller breweries) and some wine. I enjoy a variety of foods and don't mind being in the kitchen. I'm fairly handy around the house and with cars if need be.

I seek new female pen pals around 21 to 52 who can converse back n forth. It can be everyday things, about your life, work or children, news and other things. I wouldn't mind having a close friend or two. Also just some good chat friends.

Anyone care to trade music? Tell me what concerts you've been seeing? I

I've been told in the past I'm a good listener and been complimented​ on my writing and listening skills. Email from this site is best. I'm not oppose to snail mail but only after a long time has past. In a way it's more intimate on a writing level as good friends.  Also snail mail can draw out your storys more.

Watching sports on tv and in person. My playing days are over. I'm getting back into working out on the bike and lifting weights. I would like to start swimming. I collect music and prefer listening to music than having tv on. I do enjoy going to concerts. Western Ny has a very good concert scene with plenty of free summer shows or very good acts. Being close to Canada music from up north has always found a way in my heart through the years.

I'll just list who I listen to of late. Blue Rodeo, Amos Lee, Jackie Greene, Railroad Earth, Kasey Chambers, Chris Hilman, Bodeans, Phil Lesh & Friends, Big Head Todd, Ryan Adams, Neal Casal, Gin Blossoms, Assembly of Dust, Scarecrow Collection, Todd Sheaffer, Chris Hennessee, Rob Lamothe, The Riverdogs, Poco, Chris Knight, Freddy Jones Band, Indigenous,T​eddy Thompson, Kathleen Edwards, Tommy Bolin, Richie Kotzen, just to name a few...Americ​ana and Folk Rock mostly now. Of course I like classic rock and good oldies. I try to listen to college radio for my new music and also search the internet.
