Does anyone read these things besides me? I find myself spending hours reading peoples about me sections and I'm always disappointed in my own after I finish another brilliantly written one by someone more eloquent than me.
Sometimes I wonder if someone reads mine and thinks neat things about me. Is that weird? I guess everyone in one way or another wants to be thought about by someone. Sometimes I wonder what's in store for me in the future. I'm sure everyone does this. I would be impressed to meet a person who hasn't on more than one occasion thought about their life in great detail.
I am beginning to think that I enjoy life more when I don't have time to stop and reflect. Even though I feel that I learn from my own reflections on my life, I also feel a sense of selfishness that comes with it.
Can a person really spend life not ever thinking once about themself? I'm sure that in the process of neglecting ones self comes a point of hurting others. I doubt very many people reach that point. I'm pretty sure I never have.
I enjoy making people laugh. I don't enjoy the feeling of being nothing more for someone than a clown.
I enjoy the concept of honesty, but find the application of it strenuous.
I don't trust all of the people that I should, and I'm sure that I have trusted a few that I shouldn't.
Reading books is important for the mind. Exercise is important for the body, but only if you want to live. Not many people can balance both.
Honesty is a rare quality in a man.
Discretion is a rare quality in a woman.
Arrogance is a poor substitute for confidence, but is often accepted.
Some people like to look on the bright side of life, most are in denial. Some consider themselves realist's, this is nothing more than a poor excuse for crying yourself to sleep at night. More often than not, I fit into the second category.
I think alot of people consider me unstable or moody, I haven't made up my mind about that. I'm far too busy crying, laughing, being pissed off, zoning out, and being depressed.
I will end this about me section with a quote by someone far more intelligent and better versed in the language of thought than me.
"What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument."
-C.S. Lewis
While it's true Ernest Hemingway had some worthwhile things to say about grace under pressure, keep in mind that he also liked to get drunk and take his fishing boat out hunting for submarines.
