Chapter 1: Just the "About Me"

I love the sound of thunder and the bright flash of lightning at any time of day.

I love the sound of a record playing.

I love the windows down in my car, while my hand is in the wind, with really loud music playing, down the back dirt roads of western Kansas.

I love to wander off into the wild and never know if I'll return.

I love walking in cowboy boots in the tall grasses in the early morning, when the sun just awoke and the dew is shimmering at its brightest.

I hate being cold but love to play in the snow.

I love the sound of someone typing really fast.

I love to drive just to drive never to have a destination.

I hate when people ignore others.

I hate when people complain when they have a choice.

I love the sound a jump rope makes when it hits the ground.

I love the feeling I get when sitting in a cafeteria having lunch.

I hate the sound of the clutch when someone puts it into the wrong gear.

I love the feeling I get when I'm on an adventure but hate that I don't have someone to share it with......


I, being in touch with concepts and ideas, am known to be universal. I am somewhat detached from personal emotions within myself. Its not that I don't have feelings; it's just that mine are different from most others. I dance to the beat of a very different drummer. My greatest strenght is the eclectic way of seeing things.

"Great spirits often encounter opposition from mediocre minds."

I tend to set apart from the crowd, even when I'm right in the middle of it. I appear easygoing, but my mind is likely to measure every emotion, which tends to keep passion in check. Displaying strong feelings is not easy for me at all, even if that's what I'm sensing inside myself. I tend to appear pretty open, so it seems like I'm highly accessible, which I am...but more on a mental than an emotional level. I have ideas, explanations and well-defined theories to describe my behavior as if I were talking of someone else. Yet being intimate and personal goes beyond language, which tends to be less familiar and more uncomfortable territory.

I come across as calm, steady and down to earth. Avoiding conflict is a major part of my approach to the world, preferring to keep my feelings to myself. I appear patient and easygoing, rarely coming across as demanding or difficult but at certain times I can be. Calming tense situations I tend to be fairly good at. But a resistance to revealing my true feelings is always something I battle with. I'm always prepared to help the world in any way I can. At times I yearn for it...

Now you at least will have an insight to the mind if you decide to come back and read--to know where I come from and a little of how I think... But my thoughts and emotions are at a constant rotation for a fair warning.
