I am Determined, Relaxed, and Vigilant.
My Self-Summary
I'm a pretty regular guy. Very laid back and ready to just go with
what's happening. I've been a lot of places in my short life (15
countries to be exact) and I've done many things. Due to that I
like to think I'm a little more wise and experienced then the
average 24 year old male. I don't always feel the need to be chatty
or be the center of attention. Sometimes I'm just content to listen
to and watch what's going on around me. Sometimes I feel that a
companionable silence with the people I care about is equally as
important as deep conversation. When I do feel the need to speak
however, I'm usually a big goof who enjoys cracking jokes, being
sarcastic, and laughing. I don't believe that this life is about
the number of years you live, or your possessions, but instead I
think life is about how you live the time you have, and the mark
you leave. That being said I strive to fill each day with something
meaningful, and learn as much as I can.
I don't care much for traditional gender roles. Women can and
should do whatever they see fit for their lives, but I do believe
that men should be men. My definition of being a man is protecting
the people and things you love despite any cost involved, standing
up for what you believe in while having enough wisdom to open up
and learn another point of view, and providing for your family.
That does not mean I think I should have the highest paycheck, but
it certainly means I will not be a couch potato and let my other
half be the only one with a job. I'm a blue collar working man to
my core. I prefer a hard days work with my sleeves rolled up
breaking a sweat. I always feel very fulfilled afterward.
I have a strong love for the medieval knight. Not the actuality of
it, since most were snotty nobles who felt they were above everyone
else, but what they were supposed to be. At the top of martial
prowess with a desire to only use their ability to fight to protect
the innocent or those weaker than themselves. To be well spoken and
mild mannered, neither giving in to temper or bending a knee to
those who could not prove themselves worthy of bending a knee to,
and carrying themselves with a confidence that does not pass into
the realm of cockiness. Do I always succeed in this? Not always,
I'm far from perfect and not to proud to admit it, but I damn sure
try.
I'll probably add more when it comes to mind.
What I’m doing with my life
Going to school for massage therapy and writing a book. Outside of
that, trying to have fun and enjoy my time.
I’m really good at
Listening, sarcasm, making people laugh by being a complete idiot,
giving people strength when they need it, day dreaming, video
games, arguing about the zombie apocalypse with my coworkers,
paintball, and life.
The first things people usually notice about me
I tend to have a serious expression on my face, I walk briskly and
with a purpose, and my shoulders are back and head high. Don't let
it fool you though, it's just an old habit from the military. I'm
not nearly as serious as I appear.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Maybe I'll fill this part in later when I feel like typing forever.
The six things I could never do without
Family, friends, my computer, books, time to relax and collect my
thoughts, and the gym.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything really. If I'm not actively engaged in an activity, I'm
usually lost in space contemplating any number of things. From the
complexities of our universe and how small we really are, to what
makes people tick and how much such a "small" person can
accomplish.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out with friends having a beer or two, and then coming home to
unwind, read a book, and fall asleep.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Admitting it would mean it is no longer private.
You should message me if
You want to. Pretty simple.
