I can't remember the last time I sat down and talked about myself on one of these. Possibly that might tell you something about me there? I suppose I could start with the most important aspects of my personality and work my way down to the mundane. But what fun would that be? So here goes...My favorite number is 13. I chose 13 because somewhere along the line in history it got a bad wrap and was deemed the "Unlucky Number." I always thought that was unfair and chose it depite the fact. It's also my birthday, so how unlucky could it be? I survived it....I would live off Skittles if I could.I love wrapping up in warm heavy blankets on freezing cold days and reading a really good book. I don't need a hot drink, just a bowl of grapes or marshmallows to keep my appitite occupied.Life has always stuck me as a tragedy. A very beautiful tragedy. Irony around every corner. Humanity always seemed broken to me somehow. This perception started as a self-evaluation. I always felt broken. Still do. It was always this feeling that helped me swallow the story of Original Sin (Adam and Eve). I believe the whole idea, yet I'm certain there are details I'm missing. Maybe not important details, but details all the same. I'm a stickler for details. Love 'em. The smallest detail can alter everything when seen from the right perspective. I've always been a little bitter with Adam and Eve, but I'm sure I would have managed to screw things up even more if I were there. I probably would have talked Eve into cooking me a forbidden fruit pie before God came walking along looking for us. I love people when they interact without anger or sadness. Otherwise people make me depressed and I remember again how tragic life is. It's my goal in life to enjoy it as much as possible and show people that a life with Love and Jesus is a full life. I don't like religion. But some people need it, and it brings them closer to God and that can't be bad.I can't wait to be a dad. I'm going to be a great dad. I don't even think I'll screw my children up too bad. It's something I've looked forward to for a LONG time. I'm in no hurry though. No babies 'till I've got a pretty darn descent job and money to support 'em. My desire to be a dad probably stems from the abscence of a dad in my own life. My dad died when I was five and I never really had that hole filled with anything but my desire to be one myself.I've just realized how personal I've taken this, but it feels normal. Most of us have a very strong personal barrier, but it's those barriers that point out where our weaknesses are anyways so I'm working on giving that up. Being an open book to read online is fairly refreshing. This is me. Just open and happy. Content to turn the pages of life and live however long I can. Life is pretty fragile. We all need to take in the air of today and live like we're moments from eternity, wherever you're going after you die. Oh, and I love hunting, fishing, camping, long walks on beaches, my dogs, fantasy books, RPGs, hamocks, bourben, rum, cliffs, oceans, forests, baseball, etc...
