2-11-08 UPDATE: Yeah. I need to update my profile. It should have been done months ago. I know. It is coming real real soon. As in, around the end of this quarter. (Mid to end of this month, March). Until then, just assume any information you read on here, about me, is useless, obselete, and inaccurate. See you soon.
Also, Look at that map below here. See all those people? Who is the guy in the middle of the pacific ocean, where no known island even exists, accessing my profile? See that blip to the left down there? Strange. And do not try to feed me no Hawaii bullshit.
You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
(09.14.06) 19:24 - Multiple people as of late, have insinuated I have too much content, and it is a difficult read, and/or it is the type of thing, time needs to be set aside for, to read. This is simply not true. There is not that much, first of all. It would take you all of five minutes to read. You do not have to read the lengthy survey of course, that is just there for that type of person to enjoy.
Other people have all these ridiculous anagrams of their name, and what it spells out, and what that means, and what type of lover they are, or what type of kisser, and paragraphs describing why, but it is a form paragraph shared by thousands of others who have that same worthless crap spewed throughout their profile. The things you would be reading here, are much different. They are things I have typed, rather than something assigned to me, and they are about me. That is why I put it in my "about me" on MySpace. If you were interested enough to venture here and peep the scene, be thorough enough to at least look around. If you really want to read something of considerable length, in comparison to my profile, follow the Writing.com link in the paragraph below.
Old UPDATE!!
I feel the overwhelming need to plop an updated assessment of myself on here. I have progressed slightly since my last "about me" attempt, and feel I should endeavor to accurately portray my current self on here, to the best of my abilities. I will leave my older "about me" section on here, not just because it was requested, but also because I feel my old self will always be apart of me no matter how much growth I attain, at very least in spirit. It is important to remember who you were to completely become who you are.I am 23 now and with this new age came new discipline. I no longer am without work ethic. I have carried on in the same field for quite sometime now. I have made several other life altering changes as of late, as well. I haven't much time to go into detail currently, but I will tell you anything and everything you may or may not want to know about me is available online now. My Portfolio at writing.com contains a far more detailed accounting of my thoughts and feelings. I discovered this site a week ago (This being the 3rd of September '05), and in that time accomplished many writings. I never had the discipline to write before, but it is just one of the dozens of metamorphoses I have experienced recently. For those of you who take the time to go there and read something I have written, I thank you. Hopefully you start your own account there, and recapture your youthful inspiration.
OLD "About Me":
Listen, I am not going to put anything funny, or witty, down. It is stupid to try to, because everyone already is obviously trying to do that, so I refuse. Besides if you knew me you would already know whether or not I was truly funny or possessed any wit at all. So if you know me, you tell me, if not, so sorry, but you will remain in the dark, until you talk to me, and I shed some light.
However I will put a blurb or two on here about myself. I am 22, going nowhere in life, incredibly fast. Its not that I am too stupid to achieve something, and it is not as if I am too ignorant to know that I should, and it is not that I am too lazy to apply myself in one direction to become truly successful. It may be that I travel in so many directions, I never actually get to the end of any given path, on the road of life. But I think it is that I am so easy going, and laid back, that even though, from societies stand point, I am not a wealthy, business professional, entrepreneur; I can still maintain a blissful sanity. I am not a student. I am not even a white collar manager at some ritzy office. In fact I do not think I could even classify myself as a good employee, or a responsible adult, however, I know deep down one day I will be a productive member of society, as soon as I find my true calling, and until that day, I shall remain, a job to job bouncing, marijuana smoking (unless you are a cop, or some sort of authoritative figure, in which case, it is just a joke that I partake in any marijuana smokage), money blowing (rather than saving and preparing for the future), disorganized, wheeling and dealing, freeloading, human.If you cannot respect the fact that my work ethic is not that of bill gates, or even that of a run of the mill 16 year old at their first job, then perhaps you can at least respect the fact that I am human. After all as, the great, Ralph Waldo Emerson, once said "Every man is in some way my superior." I believe this to be a great philosophy in life, because, yes, it is true, everyone you meet is better than you at, as a minimum, one thing, so there is something to be learned from everyone, and something to be respected in all.
Knowing, understanding, and applying that, will not only teach us modesty, but respect for others, as well. Today is a lot different than Emerson's time, but obviously this principal still applies, now maybe more so, than ever before. Egos are bigger now than ever, and there is no better way to suppress that, than to admit every person is superior to you in one way or another.
Sorry, I am now one of those who puts a long annoying survey up in the middle of their profile. I had to though, for it is a window to my soul.
