About Me

I'm a very simple, easy going guy, perhaps too much so for my own good. Overly ambitious individuals have always scared me. I'm not particularly impressed nor driven by monetary wealth or status. I care little for material things, and am just grateful for the basic necessities of life. I don't consider myself to be superficial, although I wholeheartedly believe in the notion of looking your best whenever out and about in public. Not to say that I'm all that, but I make do with what I've been given.
I would consider myself to be a late bloomer, and things are rapidly starting to change for the better! 2007 is shaping up to be the year when this shy, reserved kid finally lets it all loose! I've already wasted too much time all these years, and now I have to make up for it! It's almost like I'm Steven Seagal from Hard to Kill, waking up after so many years of a coma.
I'm not the coolest, smartest, toughest, funniest, hottest, or the "-est" of anything. I guess that means I'm pretty average. This has always bothered me. I can't stand the thought of being just an ordinary guy. I know inside that I was meant for something more in this world, and hopefully, I will soon find out what that is. Delusion of grandeur? Possibly, but as the classic poet, Robert Van Winkle, once said, "Anything less than the best is a felony!" Yeah, I know in reality, I'm really nothing more than a complete scrub, but at least I try to hide it well. Oops... maybe I shouldn't have said that.
