I am amusing, truthful, and happy.
My Self-Summary
I love conversation and conflict therein. Few things are as
enjoyable as free expression with good people. Also, I enjoy time
spent with my friends. No matter where I am, its a great time as
long as I am surrounded by the people I trust and adore.
I am believe that truth and trust are the greatest virtues that we
have concerning our relationships and I endeavor to possess them
both in great quantity.
I am sometimes shy. I have a wide ranging sense of humor. (read as:
occasionally offensive, caustic, and or unintentionally insulting).
I love to be irreverent and am not really sure if there is anything
that cannot be made into a joke.
I take great pleasure in life and believe that happiness is both
imperative and attainable.
I have the benefit of living a charmed life. Good things tend to
happen to me and those that surround me.
What I’m doing with my life
Right now I suppose that I am in some sort of limbo. I work
freelance construction and take other bit work as it presents
itself. Also, I help to care for my grandmother and my cousin who
both have some health problems. I have no defined longterm plan,
though my life tends to throw things my way that I will enjoy and
that allow me to pay my bills.
Other than that I love to go to the movies and spend time with my
friends. Recently I have found a local winery that I have had a
great deal of fun bringing people to.
I have begun woodworking with a friend of mine and am enjoying it
immensely.
I’m really good at
I have a host personality so I am good at making things go
smoothly, that is if i want to, which i usually do. I read recently
that a gentleman's job is to make life enjoyable and easier for
those around him. This seemed to describe me quite well.
Stepping over lines.
Laughing at inappropriate times.
Saying something really funny.
Arguing.
Having a conversation.
Being "The Fuzz"
I can cook quite well. Also I am a fair hand at baking. And no they
are not the same.

That seems like the kind of thing that I cannot answer, as I am not
"people".
