About Me

i'm patrick.
First i just want to say that i am honored that you actually took the time to read the about me section of my profile... usually people just browse profiles, look at pictures and leave. But you decided that you actually wanted to get to know me. That rocks! Welcome to my profile. Hope general look is pleasing to your eye... let me know if it causes any eyestrain. Lol. Anyway, lets get to the about me part of this.
and i'm simply me.
My name is patrick michael gendron. I was born in Washington State at Madigan hospital on fort Lewis. Yes, my father was in the military. My parents divorced when i was three years old, so i do not really remember what exactly happened, but i have a general idea of it because of what i have heard from various family members. I have three brothers and three sisters, a stepmother, a stepfather, a mother, and a father. Two of the siblings are step, one is half blooded, and the other three are full blood. i try and be as good of a person as possible but i have come to the realization that there is no way anyone could ever be perfect... and that if we were all perfect, we would all be the same. i had a hard time in middle school when i became very sick. i had mono for four months and then whooping cough for two more months. During this time period i became depressed and thought about ending my life. Luckily, i did not because i now know that there are people who truly love me. But, i don’t think that i completely understand the entirety of love. Even though i have been through multiple relationships where i have thought i have been in love, it always ended up being conditional... which is in fact not love at all.
"Don't dwell on the past....
Wait... i have gotten off track. i’m not sure what else to say except that i think life is about surrounding yourself with people who care for you and people who you care for.
... for it will ruin the present and the future."
I have one thing to ask of you, i dont know who your are, all i know is that your someone on the internet, trying to learn a little something about me. But i ask of you to do one thing kind for a random stranger today. Actually, i dont ask, i challenge. See if you can bring yourself to do it, and if you do, i would like to hear about it so message me and tell me what you did. I am expecting very few messages... so prove me wrong dammit!
Post Script: Please excuse all of the misspellings.. i’m horrid at it....
