I'm laid back & easy-going - ok, I may be King Procrastinator of the Universe, but in a good way. I can easily entertain myself for hours on end, and I'm just as easily amused.
A little on the OCD side, a little on the OCS side (I hear having no brothers or sisters will do that to ya) but hey, we all have our issues. I tend to see humor in just about everything and I try to deal with tragedy in the same manner. I have a defensive mechanism I've developed over the years called "The Fuckit Switch", and I tend to use it at the drop of a hat, especially if shit gets too heavy.
Mostly, I hang out with a core group of close friends as I'm not too close to my family and at times I don't mind avoiding human contact altogether. I probably don't take as good care of myself as I should. To me, drama and all the trappings that come with it are despicable, so if you're dramatic, please, they have medication for that - take a pill. I guess you could label me a fence-rider as I usually can defend both sides of any and every issue (love to play Devil's Advocate), but I do hold firmly to my beliefs on some matters: politics, religion, music and lifestyle. Sometimes I just like to disagree (argue) for no good reason. I've been called/labeled a lot of things over the years, and it used to piss me off until I realized that I don't really give a crap about someone else's perception of me. Karma is a bitch, so just keep in mind, what goes around comes around.
I like to camp, party (in moderation, of course) around an open fire, chill with my friends, watch a good movie (I like horror best), cooking, eating, etc. There are aspects of my life I don't want to change, but I'm not opposed to new ideas/adventures. I tend to gravitate towards those who are funny and intelligent. I have a step-daughter, Chelsea, whom I love and miss very much. She's a great kid and quickly becoming a very smart and attractive young lady.
Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday and all the rest I could live without, ESPECIALLY Thanksgiving & Christmas, however, I do have very fond childhood memories of holidays past. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt/sweatshirt (depending on the weather). I'm truly appreciative of my good, close friends, two of whom recently saved me from myself - I owe them more than I'll ever be able to repay. Of course all this is subject to change or get totally deleted depending on my mood on any given day ;-)
Whatever YOU choose to believe, have faith in or pray to is fine by me, just don't try to cram that shit down MY throat! Ricky Retardo (1963 - )
“Oooooh, look at me, I'm making people Happy! I'm the magical man, from Happy Land, who lives in a gumdrop house on Lolly Pop Lane!!!! By the way I was being sarcastic...†Homer J Simpson ;)
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." Jim Morrison 1943-1971
