About Me
Suppose you and I were sitting in a quiet room overlooking a garden, or the beautiful city lights, chatting and sipping our cups of cold iced tea, talking about things that happened long ago. And suppose I said to you, “This afternoon was the very best and worst afternoon of my life.†I expect you would put down your cup and ask “Well, which was it? The best or the worst? Because it couldn‘t have possibly been both!†Truth is, it is up to you. The morning, afternoon, or night that I speak to you for the first time, it is up to you to make the choice. You can make it either the best or the worst time. Though your opinions are not facts, and your words are not knives, and neither are mine, any one person can make a difference in my life, while I believe I will never have any affect in yours. I will probably never leave a footprint on the Earth that is any bigger than any one else’s. The rock that I throw into the pond won’t have a very big halo affect. My place has always been behind the scenes. I never was the most popular, or the most adored. I can’t say that I never wanted it, because who doesn’t? But in the end, my life has been in the underground, never breaking through the glass of social standards so that I could become the peak of perfection. I wasn’t born or raised to become the way I am. In fact, I was raised the complete opposite. Not to say I wasn’t happy, for I was always given an environment that any child would adore. Yet, my entire life leading up to only just recently, has only been a mask. A costume covering the real person underneath the social stereotypes that held me for so long. I am the black sheep, the outcast, the weirdo of my family. And I’m completely alright with that. In my lifetime, only a handful of people have gotten to know the real me behind the veil. It is your choice whether you want to learn the complex facts of my life, or just pass by and see the outside, uncomplicated, no strings attached, me. Years ago, I perfected a very practiced smile. This is all you will ever see if you never approach me, and loads of people are fine with that. And so am I, because I will be completely oblivious to the inner struggle of the people who walk past me and can’t decide whether they should say hi, or just walk away without ever knowing if I would say hi back, which I would. I’m also okay with the people who would later go on myspace and say they saw me, but didn’t approach me. They would just have less respect coming their way. If you do decide to press that comment button and get to know me besides having me as 1 in your 5000 friends, you’ll want to know a few things about me won’t you? Well Im 17 and a Junior at McDowell. I know my name is a boys name, and there is a story behind that. As for books, TV, and movies. Yes, I do have a list of my favorites, but I’ll let you have a shot in the dark.I love surfing, snowboarding,wakeboarding, skiing, and softball. I have great friends that I cannot begin to describe. I’m about 5’8, maybe a bit taller. I have German, Native American, and Irish blood in my veins. But don’t expect that you can make a conclusion about my personality from my ethnic background alone. Because that would be ignorant. And being ignorant is bad children. I adore Western things, and I believe I was born on the wrong side of the world. This about me is extremely long isn’t it? I take the easy way out of things, and yes I know they will come back and hit me .I can say that I am pretty nice. I think I have a nice personality. I don’t brighten the room when I walk in exactly, but I can keep a conversation going. I try not to do too much of anything i.e. computer, video games, television. Despite my wonderful way of describing myself (it is wonderful don’t you think?) I have just as many flaws as the person next to me. Probably more. I won’t describe them. The list will be too long, and well, I’ve been talking for too long anyway. That will be all I say about myself here. If you choose to learn more, there’s a comment button somewhere around this ever changing profile. Bye
