Just Me : The 39 Week 1 Round Up/Update [T39W01RU/U]
I'm one of those where what you see is what you get... and that's about it.
No bells or whistles or fancy attachments, just the same laid-back, oddly unusual, help if I can, fuck 'em if they don't like me person I've been for many a year now.
I'm one of those that's, quite simply, "not dating material."
of the few enough dates I've been on in my lifetime, I can literally count on one hand how many progressed to kissing (even less further).
it's not that I'm not willing (or able?), but I'm comfortable becoming friends and I'm fairly oblivious to flirtations if they're not obvious...
more than once I've been told a multitude of years later that someone was interested and they wondered why I never reciprocated - honestly, I never noticed.
and - of course - they're now friends, if not the friends I consider to be family.
I'm one of those that is very hard to get angry and almost impossible to get worried about something I can't solve immediately/quickly.
I have a "strange" POV in that if it's not something I can fix or solve, then why should I worry... so I, quite simply, don't. That's it, that's all.
and, yes, I'm aware that this drives some people crazy.
I'm also nearly impossible to get angry... I take things in stride and in jest (hells, I'm the brunt of most of my OWN humour!) and acquiesce "with style."
I'd rather determine a solution than butt heads or argue - but this also means I look for FACTS as opposed to simply believing something because someone else does.
so I CAN be quite adamant about what I believe - particularly if it's based upon personal experience. there IS no better teacher than that when coupled with FACT.
I'm one of those that actually likes, if not loves, to help - and I actually enjoy working for a living.
while this is the first year in MANY where I have absolutely no committed volunteering, in years past I've spent entire summers from one volunteering to another...
when, of course, I wasn't working.
it's been joked upon, but it's probably true, that I WOULD keep working even if I won a lottery.
I like to be busy and keep busy and have a "need," if not necessity, for distraction.
I go absolutely bonkers when I'm just sitting at home doing nada, zip, zero... once in awhile, yes - for a few hours at most - but, dear gods, daily?! fuck that.
and, yes, I'd LOVE to be doing more... but there are a multitude of factors that keeps me from volunteering more, let alone getting out as much as I'd prefer (or should?).
I'm one of those that adapts fairly easily.
my life, for as boring as a good 80-90% of it has been, has had some unusual twists/turns and madness occur in the other 10-20%.
I've dealt with deaths galore, cheating in all but one physical relationship, "frienemies," attacks/robberies, people who want to fight because I'm the smallest guy, etc.
...and that's just the tip of the iceburg, really. there are many who are still shocked that I'm still alive, let alone mostly intact AND smiling/enjoying life.
BUT... that's just it, kiddies - LIFE is about LIVING. that's one thing, if anything, that I've truly learned, and luckily learned early enough in life.
I'm a proud fathre, a hard worker, an enjoying of a multitude of genres of film and music and theatre, I have friends of nearly every religion, race, sexuality, deviance, and multiple countries - and love them all.
and yet, with everything I've just written/typed... I'm pretty much just... simple. just me. that's it.
of everything I've done and gone through I can nigh gaurantee that ANYone could do the same... and THEN some.
I'm nothing special by a longshot, though I've met those that think so and haven't been able to change their demn-fool minds about it!
I have zero regrets because I LIKE where I am and every single moment - the good, the bad, and the boring - all led to here, to this. and I wouldn't give this up.
And there ya have it...
