About Me

My name is Rocco Caiata, and I am 30 years old. I would like to lay out a few things that think people should know before asking me anything: (In no particular order) 1. I am bi-polar. I can't help it. I can be fine one minute, the next, upset about everything and nothing at the same time. (I know. Terrible sentence structure.) I can feel a change in brain chemistry much like a diabetic feels changes in blood sugar. It is not on purpose and very painful. 2. I don't take anti-depression medications. I think that they are a way of society making things go away without fixing anything. If you are unhappy there is a reason. 3. I am a very excessive drinker. I can outdrink most people I am around. I have been known to start a party and end it as well. 4. I am honest to a fault. Very seldom do I lie. If I say something or show interest in something, it is genuine. Lying is a pointless waste of energy. It is also the quickest way for me to hate you. 5. I am stubborn as the day is long. If you start an argument with me, you better have some heavy-duty evidence to back it up. Otherwise, you will have better luck winning said argument with a brick wall. 6. I am an Atheist. Any questions see statement 5. People have the innate belief that atheists come to this decision without a thought. I will have you know that I looked for God in everything out there. It was only after years of constant observation that I realized that there is no God. I really wish that there was, but the truth is we are all alone. This fact broke my heart. 7. I don't hate people that have faith in a religion. Actually, I admire the fact that you can believe in something whole-heartedly. When religion clouds common sense is when the despising begins. 8. I believe what goes around comes around. If you do something bad then life will repay it with the same. This is much of what I suffer for now. 9. I don't look at people the same way that most people do. We have bad habits in life where we quantify the value of a person by appearances. I don't critique people on just their beauty. I believe that personality is half of beauty. If I consider you a bad person then you become very ugly to me. 10. Perfection is easy when it comes to people. It is the imperfections that you should fall in love with. Perfection can be faked. 11. I think relationships should start with friendship. If they start with just the physical then they end with the physical. Physical beauty with time will fade, but friendship with time will only get stronger. 12. I don't do things expecting something in return. Unless you count "thank you". If I do something for you, it is out of the goodness of my "heart". 13. I don't have a bad outlook on women. I am a realist therefore I keep a realistic approach to the opposite sex. I have run into a great deal of treachery concerning them so I have seen the very worst they have to offer. 14. If you knowingly wrong me, don't expect forgiveness. If I have forgiven you, you must be very special to me. Remember, long is the list of the unforgiven. 15. If we have a falling out, don't wait for me to call. If I believe that I am right, I can wait till stars burn out. 16. Even if we have a falling out, don't believe that you can't call on me if you need help. I always have time to help a friend. Even a friend I am angry with. Make no mistake, I will be angry with you at one point or another. 17. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. It is realizing I am wrong is the hard part. 18. I don't always openly talk about my feelings. Just because I say everything is ok, doesn't always mean everything is ok. I don't expect you to know the difference, but I do appreciate if you try to find out. 19. Don't believe that just because I don't e-mail or call you every day that I am not thinking about you. If I call you my friend then I love you. That alone means I think about you at least once a day. 20. I have yet to sell out a friend. I am loyal to the end, and sit heartbroken and destroyed if you aren't. 21. I have no problems with gay people. I am not a bigot. I think that if you are fortunate enough to find true love in this bleak existence then more power to you. It is a shame that society decides to hate a group of people that love each other. 22. I am not a racist. I will on occasion tell a joke or say something off taste. After all we are all something. I for one am a Wop, Guido, Dago, Cracker. :) 23. I deeply love music. I listen to just about everything. I couldn't tell you my favorite exactly because there is so much to love. Music is the common cloth between all people. Most people have a song that touches a place in the soul. If I couldn't hear music there would be no reason to exist. 24. Sunsets amaze me. The great part about watching them is that they are never the same twice. 25. I do cry. The sad state of affairs in the world is that there is no end for the male ego. I don't understand the lack humanity involved with it. 26. I watch everybody. It is a skill of mine to know people. In many cases, I know what people are going to do before they do. The thing that gets me is that I don't know why they do it. Once you know the nature of something, you understand what it is capable of. It often upsets people that they are so readable. 27. I read a lot. In fact, just about everything I can get my hands on. Fiction, non-fiction, technical manuals, classics, basically anything and everything. No reason in particular, I just like to know stuff. 28. I hate cell phones. They should only be for emergencies. To me, a cell phone is a way of not committing to a certain set of plans. I don't use one because I am content in doing what I planned to do. I don't look to change the things I do due to better plans. It shows lack of respect for the people who share your company. 29. I think about everything. People, things that happen, politics, I'm talkin' everything. I am told that I do too much thinking though. 30. I play video games. I happen to love the Final Fantasy series. I also get a kick out of Guitar Hero. I love the metal ;). 31. I have seen an incredible amount of movies. You would probably be amazed at the ones that are my favorites. 32. I suffer from extreme road rage. Nothing chaps my ass more than a driver that will not get out of the passing lane. If I am 3 inches from your rear bumper, you f#ucked up! 33. I am an insomniac. Sometimes I only sleep 1 to 2 hours a night. I don't know why, either. I think it may just be that I think too much. 34. I don't want for things. I don't understand the insatiable needs of people to acquire and take more and more never to be happy with what they have. 35. I don't do very many things for myself. I tend to put the wants and feeling of others ahead of mine. It is a great source of suffering. My conscience won't allow me to stop the practice. 36. I sometimes say things that are very mean in intent. It is something that I inherited from my father. I lose patience and say the first thing that aggravates me. I am trying to fix this one. 37. I sometimes put unrealistic expectations on people. I think it is sometimes that I wish people to be better than they actually are. 38. I think that myspace is a psych lesson in the making. If you read everything about a person, you can tell volumes about them in reality. 39. I frown constantly. It makes me appear to be mean. Looks might not be deceiving. 40. I am oblivious to many things. If you are trying to hint around things, save your time. I don't always pick up on subtle hints. Try the direct approach. You may not be surprised. 41. I keep good luck charms on my person. They consist of 2 brass dice a friend made for me, 1 piece of copper from a trip to Oak Ridge, 1 broken key, one Susan B. Anthony. 42. I am compulsive about some things. For example: I always keep pocket-change, my pens and markers, and my keys in my right pocket. Knives and tools in my left pocket. Good luck charms in my 5th pocket and my wallet in my right rear pocket. Any deviation from this procedure drives me absolutely crazy. 43. I will never show up anywhere uninvited. If you wonder why I never stop by it is because you haven't asked. I will never try to force an invitation. If you want to see me you will ask. 44. Very rarely will I eat food in a large group of people, or around total strangers. If you have seen me eat in front of you then I trust you. I have been to a restaurant maybe 3 times in the past year and a half. 45. If I say or type something that offends you, say something. I might not have meant it the way it sounded. If I did then you could at least try to defend yourself. Either way we understand each other. 46. If you consider yourself to be a fare-weather friend, be forewarned. I am one stormy M.F. and it is always hurricane season. 47. I have been told that I am funny. It is weird because I don't even try. It is usually just the first thing that pops into my head. 48. Large crowds make me nervous. Chances are if I am somewhere, it's 30 degrees, and I am outside, then people are starting to get to me. 49. I try to remember the name of every person I meet. I get annoyed at myself when I have been introduced to someone, but can't remember their name. Chances are that if I meet you before I get to the bar, then I will know you the next time I see you. 50. I can't stand to see girls cry. It breaks my heart and I have no defense. What makes it worse is when I don't have a way to make things better. If I am the cause of the crying, chances are that I hurt worse than they do because of it. 51. I don't feel compelled to jump at the first thing that a woman does. It seems to me they already have enough power. Chances are that if a woman does something to get my attention, I was aware of it before the action. Who you actually are speaks volumes. No need for attention grabbers. 52. I am patriotic. Just because I disagree with the pricks running this country does not mean that I don't love my country. 53. I am a self-loather. I hate just about everything about myself. The things about me that upset you, upset me 3 fold. And to think, I have to live with myself everyday. 54. I look people in the eye when I talk to them. Even women, as pretty or well endowed as you may be, get the same treatment. I don't stare or gawk. I consider it bad manners. I wait until you look away before I steal a glance. I am only human. 55. I don't like everyone I meet. It isn't personal, or maybe it is. Just because you put your best face forward doesn't mean I am obligated to like you. If I decide that you are worth my time, I will talk with you. Otherwise, continued harassment might be hazardous to your health.
56. I keep people at a distance. I don't like to get too close to people. I think this is a defense mechanism to prevent someone from having a chance to hurt me. I think being hurt is a fear of mine.
57. Don't put your hands on me in anger. Pushing, manly pats, when included with angry words is considered an act of war and will be dealt with accordingly. 58. I have an I.Q. of 152, which doesn't mean I am perfect. However, it does add to the effectiveness of my bullshit detection equipment. It is very accurate and rarely misses.
59. I actually can cook. The Hardee's commercials are insulting to me. I have absolutely no problem making a meal. Honestly, does it look like I have missed any of them? :)
60. I have no problems keeping up a conversation. I have had conversations last hours upon hours. The only time conversations are a problem, is if you are thinking or talking to someone else while speaking to me. After that, it isn't my fault.
61. When I am upset, I get nervous tics. Popping and stretching my neck, massaging my hands and arms, and a few others. If you see this, chances are that something has aggravated me.
62. I am suicidal. I have tried to get out of this existence 3 times, but to no avail. But you know what they say, practice makes perfect.
63. Do not hang out with me with the intent of going somewhere else. I don't like the idea of passing time only until you have better things to do. If you have better things to do, then do them. Do not waste my time. I don't put people on timers and expect the same in return.
64. If you make time for me, it will be appreciated. If you don't, don't be surprised when I have no time for you.
65. I am unnaturally warm. It can be very cold and I still have warm hands. If I say that I am cold then it must be for a good reason. 66. I do not hang out with people I don't trust. I have hit a point that if I can't trust you then I won't share company with you. I cannot stomach deceit in any form. If you think you fit in this bracket, all you need to do is ask. I definitely won't tell you a story.
67. I do not bother with people for any reason other to share company. I am not capable of ulterior motives, when it comes to friends. There is no need to be around people of low caliber, including self-profit.
68. I save things to remember people. I still have cards, pictures, sculptures or other items that remind me what I used to like about someone. People say I am a pack rat. I say I am nostalgic.
69. I like to argue. Arguing is a way to get problems out into the open. If you don't solve problems, you will never fix anything. They will fester and kill all good things.
70. Never say important things to me on a cell phone or in an e-mail. The only time this is acceptable is if you are 30+ miles away. I like to look you in the eye, and know if you mean what you say. If you are in the same area code and can't talk to me in person, then it isn't that important to you anyway.
71. I never break promises. Rest assured that if I make you a promise, it wouldn't be broken. I will go to the end of my being to see that it is carried out, even if it hurts me. I think I will add to this as I go along...

R.E.M. Drive Lyrics

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby

(chorus 1)
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby

What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

(chorus 2)
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

(chorus 3)
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby

(chorus 4)
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

(repeat chorus 3)

Ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie in come free, baby

(repeat chorus 2)

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your back, baby

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 4)

(repeat chorus 2)

Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby
