I'm not a summation of words.
I am a collection of thoughts and emotions.
Words almost ALWAYS fall short of giving a proper description of anyone.
Appearances are NOT always equal to the stereotypes.
I'm a thinker.
Perhaps I think too much.
I usually hold my opinions until ALL the facts are in and if they aren't in...
I go FIND the facts!
I'm not one to jump to conclusions and make hasty decisions.
THAT is the sort of thing that opens the way for misunderstanding to take hold
and once THAT happens it is hard to clear up.
Yes, I know it from experience.
I allow people to be who they are & I appreciate them FOR their differences.
So, please, if you are one who jumps to conclusions without finding out the answers FIRST, please, PLEASE, don't put that on me.
Assumptions are unnecessary, when you could easily ASK someone something BEFORE making a conclusion.
Everyone THINKS they are smart, so I won't TELL anyone that I am.
I would rather allow someone to figure out whether I am or not by THEIR standards and NOT with my persuasion.
It is, after all, a perspective thing whether someone is smart or not.
If that sounds confusing ask and I can elaborate.
(If you understood it would you mind explaning it to me?
I may have confused myself.
That was an attempt at humour in case you missed it.)
;)
I have this tendancy to NOT blend too well when out in public.
I'm not sure if it's my height, hair, or the fact that, a lot of people are usually fairly rude to anything that LOOKS different.
To me... describing myself just always SOUNDS so .... stuffy.
How can you come off as you really are when there is no emphasis behind the words,
no smile or slight grin?
(Words typed on a page or screen are cold.
Words can be misinterpreted in that form.
Someone can take things the WRONG way VERY easily through an IM or an e-mail, because you have little else to go on.
No wink or grin.
No inflection of the voice or body language helping you to interpret what
is meant, aside from your own mind and THAT itself can be easily swayed.
Guess we should be thankful for emoticons and LOL or LMAO, huh?
I can only say so much and let someone decide if they are intrigued by what little I can write here to represent 'me' ... in some small way.
Anyhow...
I'm TOLD that I'm a quick witted, intelligent, thoughtful,
insightful, expressive, communicative, fun, funny, helpful, supportive,
understanding, considerate, compassionate, passionate, deep, driven person.
Which may be difficult to believe after having read all of what I wrote above.
One nice thing about getting older is you gain the benefit of awareness that
comes from experience
and it's then that the saying "Treat others as you wish to be treated" becomes much more than when you FIRST heard it.
I like to be there for people.
I care about others.
Foolishly so, perhaps at times.
I don't like to see people I care about having difficulties in life.
Life is hectic enough and if someone is thinking of you it really
means a lot.
How about something 'personal' or tangible?
My height and looks are visible elsewhere on this page.
I am not pierced or tattooed.
I don't smoke or do drugs.
(I'm ONLY describing me and I am NOT passing judgement on anyone who may
or may not be or do any of those things.
I have friends that have and do all and I have friends that are similar to what I described about me.
I don't judge people for things like that AT ALL.)
I do not have any children and I have never been married.
I DO have 2 brothers who have both been married for about 20
yrs. and as a result of those unions I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews.
I LOVE to sky dive.
I have bungee jumped and find no reason to ever do it again!
(I think my intestines are NOT supposed to be in my rib cage... mainly because my heart and lungs already occupy that area!)
;)
I have raced cars (illegally).....
Zoooommmmmm!
See my BLOG about taking a survey on this one!
I LOVE live music being performed no matter what the genre.
I am a social chameleon and I am able to talk to ANYONE...
be it they are able to talk to me.
;)

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the

peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit
within a man than a secure future."
