I am the sole creator of Friendpad.com, the 100% Free Online Dating Site. I hope you like it as its been the blood, sweat and tears of many years of time away from what matters most to me, my family! Good luck to all of you who come to create your own pad on the web and it is my hope that you find what you are looking for. If for any reason that I can be of any help in your reason for your stay here, please do not hesitate to drop me an email. 

As for me, I am a one man show here. I run this social dating network out of the living room of my house. Crazy right? I am the guy who built this place, the same guy who makes the web site run day in and day out and I am even the same guy who answers the emails at [FriendPad extracted email sorry!]. It's just me here. Impressed yet? I might stop for a cup of Joe from time to time, but otherwise I am here to make this place the coolest (Important to mention FREE here) Social Dating Network on this planet. I mean if it wasn't free I would be able to hire hundreds of programmers, but NO ... I am dedicated and work for FREE here. :) Have fun!

Please send suggestions to make this place better and please help me spread the word! You can use the INVITE button on your home page to invite others to join you on FriendPad and if you happen to run an arm of NBC, ABC, CNN or CBS, it wouldn't hurt to drop my name over there a time or two. JUST KIDDING!!! &lt;-- well maybe not.

Favorites

- My favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump (Its such a powerful story to me .. no matter what challenges and hurdles you have in life, if you just keep getting up and dusting yourself off you can persevere, win and make a difference in the lives of others .. life is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you are going to get .. ) and thats what makes life so exciting to live!

- My favorite stand up comedian moment of all time is Bill Cosby himself from the 80s! The older I get the more relevant his stories become especially relating to my children ... 

Other Interesting Facts

- I swam with hundreds of wild sting rays in the middle of the ocean in the Grand Caymans... Captain Jack basically took us out in the middle of the ocean with hundreds of these things swimming around and we jumped off the back of his boat... little did I know at the time that people can actually die instantly from these creatures ... there were literally hundreds of these things around us and they were big! Probably on the list of top 10 of the most exhilarating experiences ever! Oh by the way, I can't swim...

- I played the drums for 10+ years of my life until I got to college. I joined the University of Akron Drum Line and realized that there is a profession where people actually major in drums?!?!? .... yeah 80% of the people on the drum line were extremely "serious" about perfecting the art of the drum and they almost killed me that first year. Needless to say I was burnt out after that first year and I never returned. :)

- I am a proud catholic and come from a long line of devoted catholics, however I seek a deeper connection with our God. I'm still trying to figure out that life balance equation... I hope to find more time in the future to learn more about our faith at a deeper level, the nuances of our universe and ultimately the meaning of life. I'm a believer.

- I suppose I should mention that I am a reality show freak! .... I am certainly an addict. I blame all the Road Rules and Real World that I watched on MTV growing up. My all time favorite reality show has to be My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé which aired in 2004 .... What a brilliant piece of work!! I am of course a regular follower of Big Brother, Survivor, The Apprentice and of course American Idol... to name just a few.... Interesting enough, I don't watch MTV real world any more .... I must not be able to relate to the kids on there who are well in excess of 10+ years younger than I...

- I am a dreamer .... The amazing thing about life and specifically those who have the great opportunity of living in the United States is that the sky is the limit.... I love the fact that no matter who you are, you have the opportunity of achieving great things in life. You can reach whatever height you set your mind to.... I spend a lot of time in the clouds ... 

- My last car which I bought in November of 2000 brand new with 7 miles on it, I just turned it in the fall of 2008 with 216,323 miles on it. I drive a lot!! 

- I love to travel and if I had the funds I would absolutely love to be on perpetual vacation traveling the world over. Unfortunately so far the farthest I have traveled is California to the west, Caribbean, Bahamas and Mexico to the south, Maine to the east and just a dab of Canada here and there...

- I am attempting to read a book right now called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters... Its a fantastic book so far and a must read for father's beginning the journey of raising a daughter... I have a hard time getting through books in a timely fashion (Too much to do, so little time)</description><ttl>60</ttl><item><title>Amazon Customer Service Phone Number</title><link>http://www.friendpad.com/blog/Drew/97/amazoncustomerservicephonenumber.htm</link><description>So do you ever want to get a hold of a company and actually talk to a human being over the phone, and then you find that they hide their phone numbers DEEP within their web site to such a degree that there is no way you are going to find them?&amp;nbsp;

Sex is flirting outrageously and still remembering that the person at your side is not obligated to do anything more. It's respect. 


Sex is an imperfection in yourself not bothering you. It's acceptance.

A letter from one of our readers:
"How about when your a complete gentleman. You intently listen to what your date says, open doors for her, pay or if I'm not allowed to ask if next I can, always on time, never rude, make her laugh whenever possible, never crowd her, and I have no expectations </description><author>Drew</author><pubDate>11/5/2008 8:14:41 AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
