Growing up throughout all of my life, I have never thought that fat men or women shouldn't be laughed at or pitied. As a kid, I've enjoyed playing and making friends with kids of all shapes and sizes.

I think that when i was a lot younger, as a kid, there were times that I felt just odd, because I never joined in with my friends to tease a fat kid. I never got the impulse to do such a thing. Instead, I have tried to make friends with just about everybody growing up Kindergarten through High School.

I have been timid all of my life. A very hard-working and conscientious student. So I was always focused on school. In early elementary school, I remember having crushes on girls but I was too shy to let any girl know how I felt. Some girls were heavy-set that I had a crush on. Some girls weren't heavy-set. I tend to have preferences in women based on the personality moreso than their size.

Later, I discovered that I liked women who didn't always dress up *preppy*or dress down too much either. I still like the way a woman looks in everyday casual clothes. My wife, I met over the internet. I fell in love with her personality and how each and everyday it was like we couldn't wait to come home and chat to one another for like hours.

We chatted on Yahoo Chat in the Music Lobby Chatroom and also chatted on yahoo messenger and learned how to use the web-cam. I remember that I didn't have a car at the time and I walked along ways to Wal-mart and back for that web-cam. We also talked over the phone using calling cards...(She was all the way in Minnesota and I was in North Carolina)... back in the day we didn't have a cell phone. I remember I wasn't even looking to date online.

It was early 2001. I was living with my Mom all over again, paying off debts...and I had just gotten out of a horrible relationship with another woman....(her and people she knew were using and abusing me) *I had fraudulent checks, outrageous cell phone bills* So at that time I was making friends online...and constantly working in the Emergency Room bouncing between days and nights and trying to pick up extra shifts so that I could get back on my feet again. I had friends in the neighborhood that i got to hang out with whenever I could and on my days off. But I was working some awkward shifts so I made friends in a music lobby chatroom.

Later, I met Josalynn, (now my wife) in a BBW chatroom on yahoo in early July of 2001. We also found each other in a NA chat room, which we thought stood for *Nursing Assistant* but instead it stood for *Narcotics Anonymous" on the same night by coincidence. We stopped chatting with one another but luckily she saved my profile on yahoo chat and yahoo messenger. After a month or so, we found each other again and later learned that we couldn't even go a day without chatting to one another.

I flew on a jetplane to see her on October 25th 2001. On October 25th 2003 we got married in Minnesota. On the inner portion of my wedding ring is her screen name and our wedding date.

When I first saw her standing in the airport on October 25th, 2001 I gave her a warm loving embrace and a kiss on the forehead. Now, this past Thanksgiving when I arrived in Minnesota from Arkansas...she surprised me...she gave me a warm loving embrace and a kiss on my forehead this time. We love each other very much...we don't have kids of our very own but currently we are taking care of her Aunt and Uncle's 2 kids and living temporarily in their house while they are doing their duties in the National Guard.

We are currently living in Minnesota...and I am still getting used to the Minnesota climate.
