About Me
My name is Dave and I was born in Newark, NJ. When I was still a todler, I moved to a suburbia town in North Jersey. While I was growing up, I associate myself as the ugly duckling who became a swan. In grade school, I was the fat kid who was always picked last in gym class when we were forming teams. Little did they know, I built alot of strength not through lifting weights but carrying 12'-16' 2X4's for my dad while I helped him with home improvement projects. I call it country strength. One year, I grew 6" without gaining weight and the rest is history. Today, I stand at 6'4". I went to play football where I started almost every game in my 4 years and our team went from a laughingstock to State Champs. My most memorable sport experience (including watching pro sports and seeing the Buckner Boot in 1986) came during the last two minutes of the championship game (PM me for details if you want). I also starred in baseball. I was also involved an a group called P I E (Peer Information Exchange). It was a group of students who lended an ear, encouraged and lended support to teens going through the trials and turbulations of peer pressure and other common teenage issues. My dream was to play major league baseball but I got a cold taste of reality when I realized that NJ wasn't where the bast talent came from so I went to college to get an education. I graduated with an accounting degree and went on to have a distinguished career with until I became a statistic of the economy. I am the type of person who will always lend support and help you anyway I can. Because of my troubles I experienced in my early childhood, I think I developed a level of empathy for others. I have a self depreciating sense of humor where I basically tell people that I put my pants on one leg at a time and there was alot accomplished before I graced the planet with my presense. I usually will give you the benefit of the doubt but if you break my trust, it will take a long time to get back. I have earned a doctorate degree from the School of Hard Knocks. I have also been told I am attractive (must need glasses or a new prescription, LOL) and give awesome hugs as well. I have been married to JPie1 (and she has put up with me) for almost 18 years (Oct 4).
Finding the TMF
I think my discovery of the TMF is somewhat unique as I didn't Google tickling like most people did. Instead, I stumbled upon it one night when I was browsing aimlessly on line. I clicked on the website out of pure curiousity and was overwhelmed with what I found. After absorbing my "discoveries" I went to a few gatherings with an open mind to see what it was all about. What I saw was a great group of people I met who let you participate in the festivities at your own pace. I always felt comfortable enough to be myself with no judgment being passed on me. To be very very very honest, I had no clue that any kind of website existed out there where tickling was utilized for things other than playful fun. I'm sure this is unique to alot of you but this is the truth and nothing but the truth. It's my story and I am sticking to it.
My experience on the TMF
As I mentioned before, when I first stumbled upon it, I really didn't know what to expect in regard to gatherings and such. What I have observed is that there are many levels ranging from playful spontaneous tickling to hardcore bondage and BDSM. I have been to several gatherings and I mostly enjoyed the social aspect of it as well as making sure JPie is OK. All of you who know her are aware that she can take care of herself but I still want to look out for her and let her know that I am not too far away. This is not to say that I haven't participated in some of the activities because I have and it is always good clean fun. Once I feel comfortable with someone and both parties agree, I will start easy and see where it goes from there. Overall, it's been a positive experience.
Other nontickling stuff
On a peresonal level, I have two kids both adopted from Colombia. My son is 11 and my daughter is 7. It seems to me that they are becoming very well adjusted and I am very happy about that. They interact well with others, are learning to deal with situations and solve problems. They are developing their own personalities and are really great kids. I enjoy sports and I relax by tinkering around the house. I just completed a big job in my basement that became flooded during the storms of March. Anyone cares to see before and after pictures can find it in the GD ( http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?t=183699). I love to ski and I played in racquetball tournaments in my younger days. I haven't played in a while but I would love to take it up again. I prefer to read over watching TV because of the crap and garbage that is on TV today. My box is always open so if anyone wants to PM me please feel free to do so.
That's it for now
