They diminish me and they diminish you

About Me

Kinda sickly, kinda blind. Farmer's tan. Hypochondria. Thick head of hair. Sleeps in. Afraid of deep water. Played the piano for a long time, regrets quitting. Knows how to fall from great heights without getting injured. Very good at instigating, though doesn't do well with surprise confrontation. Incapable of having serious conversations. Forgetful of names but never of faces. Always on time. ALWAYS! Not finicky about food, except curry...can't stand Indian food. Prefers west coast over east, but fresh water over salt. Wears Carhartt. Appears intelligent though we all know looks are very deceiving. Never broken a bone. Fond of the drink. Talkative but oblivious when loaded. If there's an occasion to dress up in a rediculous outfit, he'll do it. His mom says he's a catch...

My Interests

Making eye contact. Pointing. Milling/Tooling around the yard.Remembering the past. The United States. BBQs. 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets. Laying in the grass at my parents' house. House parties and drunk walks. Big skies, creeks, and forests. Automobile processions. "Do-Nothing" Days. Everything about my hometown, except the transplants that are suffocating it. Speeding down dark country roads in the summer, changing lanes and offensive driving. Landscaping. Afternoon thunderstorms. Girls with curly hair.Miller Lite, 40oz. Mickeys, and white russians. Sushi.Unimog and my 56 Bel Air.Heavy construction equipment.Yelling obscene things at strangers on the sidewalk.Stihl Chain saws. Mowing the yard.Woodworking and welding.Innertubing.That's right, bitches!

It's crap and you know it!

Why would anyone want to hire me for a job? Seriously. The only things I know how to do are eat, sleep, and partially dress myself. Have a cow! ...

Why did I not know about this when I was a kid? That's it, I'm putting a sandbox in the back yard!
