About Me

What is the first thing you do when you meet a person for the first time? Now, you may be one of those people who would stubbornly deny it, but for the most part, all of us do it whether or not we want to when we meet strangers. We label them. We classify them. We shallowly assume that the person is the same as everyone else we put under that label. No, I’m not trying to say I’m better than everyone and that I’m innocent when it comes to this, for I’m just as guilty as the next guy. I am, however, pointing out the fact that I take pride in making it extremely hard for others to label me and toss me in subconscious groups of acquaintances they have.
My name is Colin Ryan Patrick Dobie. The briefest classification of myself might be that I am a Mountain Dew-drinking, rock music enthusiast who has a love for bagels with cream cheese and a serious addiction for anything involving sports. My youth was filled with long days of soccer and skateboarding, long nights camping in backyards, longer days stuck in classrooms, and summers that broke the pattern and always ended much too soon. Then, high school comes up and hits me in the face, and I end up meeting the greatest girl in the world...I love you so much Shannon. And then the next thing I know, I’m a graduate after attending both Lenape and Seneca. That basically brings us to the current point in time.
If I were to try and classify the current version of myself it might go something like this: A semi-talented guitarist with the heart of a lead vocalist but the vocal cords most would pay not to hear; a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan who has very little interest in politics or preference in who runs this country; a brother, son, grandson, and nephew who starts a countdown of days until the first day of summer as soon as the clock strikes midnight on August 30th; or a wildlife observer who sees himself as more of a “believer” than a follower of religion, even though he was baptized and confirmed through the Catholic church. Or perhaps I’m a gifted athlete who hates small talk, as well as reverse racism. Or even still, maybe I’m a cat lover who loves fast food and doesn’t care about calorie intake, cholesterol, or carbohydrates.
As a self-proclaimed labeler, I look upon all of this information about myself, and realize just how ridiculous labels truly are. Add to the list that I’m a full-time student aspiring for sports writing and working at Rita's in the Moorestown mall, and then you might just have nearly half of my life. The other half I’m still discovering every day.
