Outgoing, opinionated, worried, fun....

I don't know...

I think I am one who has a double personality.........

In front of people I am out going, funny ect....(which I am)

When no one is around I am stressed and sad.....(which I am)

I just make sure everyone thinks I am happy and perfect all the time....I try and never let people see the real me because it was never accepted in my family.

I just make sure everyone thinks I am happy and perfect all the time....I try and never let people see the real me because it was never accepted in my family.

It's ok... we still love you!

I am a homebody. I am an opinionated pessimist who is sometimes pleasantly surprised. I am weary of B.S. I hate commercialism and invasions of privacy. Angry (because of mistreatment by people - guess who?). Tired of injustice everywhere and not optimistic about a solution.

Optimistic. The glass really is half full!

Pessimistic The glass really is half empty!

Happy most of the time. But I don't do mornings. At least, not if I can avoid it.

Been around the block a few times, so kinda wary about a lot of things. Still, I prefer to give someone or something the benefit of the doubt, unless they give me a reason to think otherwise.

As long as I can remember, I have been what you would call "The Questioner". Never satisfied with just one answer. Always wondering what I haven't discovered yet. Always thinking I have overlooked something, so wait a while and do a little more searching. I suppose part of it is the "Once bitten, twice shy." syndrome, having been a JW first, and a Mormon second, and losing two marriages over them. Kinda kicks the starch outta ya! Ain't about ta go tru dat again!

And then I became "The Searcher". Well, I thought I had the ultimate answer twice in my life! Turns out they were only pipe dreams and myths packaged with warm, fuzzy feelings about God and love and brotherhood and all that. So now what? Well, just because I hadn't found the Fountain of Youth yet, didn't mean I shouldn't keep looking. And that's what I've been doing ever since.

So now I know that in all of my searching, I realize that I know more and more about less and less. But keep the faith! Cuz in the end I'm finally gonna know all there is to know about nuttin!

Kinda shy at first, especially in Group situations. But not really an introvert. I know many accountants like me are the introvertive type, but that is not really me. Just need to feel safe before venturing out into the social climate.

Most times I would rather listen to what others have to say, and keep my mouth shut so that I won't be thought of as a fool, rather than to open my mouth and remove all doubt!

I'm a pack rat collector. Every ten years or so I have to clean out my closets and storage of all the junk I've accumulated that I never used but thought I should get it in case I might need it some day.

I'm and Aries (the Ram). An Aries rushes in where angels fear to tread. We scare the hell out of loved ones, always gettin' into things that most people think you should stay out of. I could tell you some stories....!!!

I have an acute sense of fairness and justice, and if I see someone being treated unfairly or unjustly, or being ripped off, I will jump right into the middle of it and try to defend the victim. I'm basically a peace-loving guy, but won't put up with some of that crap. I hate vilolence, and I don't believe in spanking kids. I would, however, make an exception for those child molesters, because I would love to string them up by the you know what!

I laugh at most jokes, but really get off on telling them to others. The only problem is, when I get into it, I find myself laughing so hard, I can hardly finish telling them. When that happens, the people around me end up laughing at me instead of the joke. That's why I usually tell short ones to get it over with quickly, rather than those long ones when I crack up in hysteria. Don't worry, I will spare you all on this thread by not sharing some of these....

I'm a bit on the intellectual side, getting into deep issues and profound questions. That's one of the things I love about this forum, because I feel like I've kinda met some fellow "mates" here where we can get into things. At the same time though, I do try to speak in "plain English" so as not to come off as some kind of "pretentious snob". I don't do this to play games, but rather it is all part of my drive for "Searching". I've got way more questions than answers. Besides, the answer is, "There ain't no answers! It's the search."

Made lots of mistakes. I guess it goes with the territory, being human and all. Nothing mean and nasty though. More like foolish and gullible, and sometimes just plain impatient and impulsive. Spur of the moment, and then those damn consequences. Ouch!!! Didn't know I could go down so many wrong paths. Someone told me once that I had used up all of my nine lives, so better be more careful from now on.

There is a pretty good profile of my personality (at least one I can identify with) in a song written by Kris Kristofferson:

The Pilgrim:

See him wasted on the sidewalk, in his jacket and his jeans,

Wearing yesterdays misfortunes like a smile.

Once he had a future full of money, love and time,

Which he spent like they were going out of style....

And he keeps right on a searching, for the better or the worse,

Searching for that shrine he never found,

From the rockin' of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse,

All he ever gets is older and around,

Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse,

And if the going up was worth the coming down.

Chorus:

He's a Poet (he's a Picker), he's a Prophet (he's a Picker),

He's a Pilgrim and a Preacher and a Problem when he's stoned,

He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,

Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

(There's been a lot of wrong directions on that lonely way back home!)

And the other one is: "I Did It My Way" - by Paul Anka, written for Frank Sinatra and sung by many.

You all prolly know the words, so won't repeat it here. But man, that's me!
