I get the question often enough that it seems worth answering:"Why do you want to be my 'friend'?", or the variation: "Why should I be your 'friend'?"Okay, fair enough.It all comes around to another question: Why am I on MySpace? Answer: I've identified a deficiency in my understanding that I'd like to correct before it becomes a deficiency in my character. I realize that I don't really know what makes most people tick. I used to think that I could make some pretty good guesses, but the truth is that I have enough gaps in my experiences that I can't actually make good guesses. In fact, I know now that it's a lousy idea to even make guesses.I've known some interesting people over the years. I've exposed myself to some unusual and dicey people and situations. The crime would be if I (and yes, I was) filtered people through what I learned in those extremes. Additionally, I was isolating myself from people because I figured I knew it all because I understood (or presumed to understand) the extremes of society. Guess what? I was wrong.So, this is why I'm here and why I make contact with you: I want to better understand what the motivations, needs, wants, joys, hurts, dreams, delusions, lies, truths, etc. are of a wide cross-section of people. Whatever you are, Christian Home Schooling Mother or Pornstar, I don't understand you and it's a shame that I don't. I don't presume to be conducting some grand social experiment, just trying to ultimately understand myself better because I'll understand the general world around me better.That's it. You don't owe me anything. If you'd rather I kiss off, that's fine. My need to understand life better isn't your problem. If you decide to let me be a part of your community - whether on the sidelines or more - I appreciate that. Tell me whatever you'd like. If you'd like to know more about me, I'd be pleased. Ask whatever you'd like.Thanks.Kevin
