I am smart, creative, and humorous.

My Self-Summary

I am easy to get along with and make friends easily. I refuse to grow up, as in stop having fun, because someone says so. I am trustworthy and loyal to family and friends but don’t fetch the paper. I am curious to find out more about life and about myself at the same time. I am interested in new ideas and new places. I enjoy life with all its ups and downs. I think of life as a journey to be savored to the last drop. I am content with myself but I am also trying to improve some areas.

What I’m doing with my life

I am working at a new career, started about three years ago. I am writing a fantasy novel one of many ideas but this one I want to finish just for myself satisfaction. I am also trying to get back to school, college, to get my BA. I’m close now so why not get the paper? I am working as a volunteer at a local youth group. I help them to mature and they help me stay young. I am getting in shape again as I took some time off after I retired the first time.

I’m really good at

I am a good friend. I have a good vocabulary and love jokes, play on words. I am really good at relating to others. I am also a bit of a nerd, left over from high school days. So, I am good at math and science. I think I am a good writer, stories, short stories, poetry, and song lyrics. I actually had a band do one of my songs; they did the music to my words.

The first things people usually notice about me

They notice my size. I know because they told me. I am six feet tall and weigh two hundred and sixty pounds. I used to lift weights a lot. I really don’t think I’m very big but I could be wrong. They also notice my smile and my openness. People I don’t know come up and start talking to me. They notice my laugh as I have fun in life.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I read lots but mostly fantasy. R.A. Salvatore, Weis and Hickman, and Anne McCafferey are some of my all time favorite writers. I am read some self-help and psychology books now too. I love music of all types from rock to classical, blues to folk, and country to musicals. I have a very eclectic taste in music. As for foods, there are too many likes and not enough dislikes; according to my doctor. I do like spicy foods, chili and curry.
