Me

I have been thinking about myself a lot today. Without getting into the motivation for this post, I am going to tell you some things you may or may not know about me and some things I believe to be true. In no particular order-- I don't really care too much what anyone else thinks about me. I'm not much for causes. I am pretty much who I seem to be, for better or worse. I am above the 95% percentile in height for Caucasian American males of my age. I have been over six feet tall since I was 12. I don't expect people to make accommodations for me, but I appreciate it if they do. I'm not a joiner. I have never used an illegal drug. I'm not too good at offering praise to others, although I have shown some improvement. I don't take myself too seriously. I am sort of clumsy. I try never to do something so that someone will think well of me. I explain myself too much. If I've offended you, it wasn't intentional. There is something wrong with my sense of taste. Lots of things taste bad to me. They always have. Criticizing me, won't make things taste better. I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Balloons make me nervous. I don't hate anyone. I like most people. Lots of things annoy me, but not as much as I let on. Every situation can be improved with a little humor. I think I'm a funny guy. I'm a creature of habit I don't like it when people take advantage of other people. I always try to do my best. I don't kill anything, including bugs. I have an opinion on most everything and you are perfectly welcome to disagree or to ignore it. No hard feelings. I believe what can be tested. I'm not interested in working just to have more stuff. I've never bounced a check or been late paying a bill. I don't like change. I am sort of a hick. I'm not afraid to die, but I'd prefer not to. I don't care who gets elected. I'm more perspirational than inspirational. I respect your right to do what you do. Just don't expect me to tell you it is a good idea if I disagree. Don't ask my advice if you are going to ignore it anyway. I like things to be tidy. I am a worrier. I fidget. Telling me to stop won't work. I don't mind getting older. I want my children and their families to be happy and healthy, I don't expect them to be like me. I love stories. I like to know about other people. I believe that most self-help is crap. I believe in doing what I said I would do. I try to be a more civil as I get older. My head is large. I'm against the death penalty. I don't like my eyebrows. I try to be considerate and helpful. I realize I can come off as overbearing. I don't mean to. I like to keep track of my money. Think of it as a hobby I'm a lot more moderate than I used to be. I swear less than I used to, but still too much. I try to control things that I can't. The fact that you keep doing the same stupid thing, doesn't mean I have to keeping helping.
