Dan Druggan, Padoops' Daddy

What Makes me who I am? God, My Parents (R.I.P.) Like Truman I'm a plain speaker. My best friend and my lawyer will tell you I was born without a filter. Like Reagan I am a great communicator, Like Kennedy, a man who studies all options before making a decision (see the film 13 Days) Perceptive like Churchill (If the World listened to Churchill about Hitler early on maybe WWII is avoided. see the HBO film the Gathering Storm) Wise like Aristottle and Socrates. A leader like Joe Montana and Tom Brady.....A man that Knows Omerta and the importance of keeping a secret and being loyal, avoiding trouble whenever possible, ask any of my friends. and I'm not in La Cosa Nostra) 1 part southern gentleman.(thanks Mom God Bless Texas inspite of Bush) I cry while watching movies, Pride of the Yankees, Love Actually, for example. I don't believe in being a victim, My mom told me "If you turn the other cheek, it just means the other side of your face will bleed also." A man that bows down too often will soon never be able to stand straight. There are times to be mellow too and when they come along enjoy them. Great ladies should always be reminded that they are great, why they are great and that they are beautiful. (The truth is there aren't that many great ones around.) I believe more in god than I do humanity as god allows people to have free will and unfortunately people make choices that hurt and injure other intentionally for their own gain, or to hide their own inadequacies. I have an ego which I use to bolster myself without doing so at the expense of others. My ego is tempered w/ just enough humility. I'm charming,and have an exceptional sense of humor and rapier wit. I am an Irish Nieghborhood guy that can adapt to all people and situations. I've a lot of love in my heart and it runneth over for those few people in my life that deserve it. I'm an emotional person that strongly feels highs and lows. I am stuborn more than a mule and an unbroken horse combined. I believe you can not know love w/o pain and loss and you will never know or appreciate success w/o knowing tons of failure. I also think that in life you will fail. more than succeed, so it's iportant to take inventory of all your success. Always tell those you love that they are special to you and tell them often, because tommorrow is promised to no one When I'm happy I want to share it w/ dam near everybody. when I'm sad, there are only a few worthy of sharing that pain with. I am all man. I do not suffer from any disease called metrosexuality. The word Man should start w/ a "D' in the front of it and my pic should be in Mr. Webster's Dictionary. All this and I push a wheelchair because I've got Cerebral Palsy. Don't judge a book solely by its' cover you'll miss one hell of a story!!
