more about me


just when you thought this diary could not get any more narcissistic, here we go again with more about me... yeah, I warn you so you can skip it if you want to read something else, especially since this may be a rerun...

this next bit may have been from an old entry or maybe it's just sat around in a scribble file for a while... it was inspired by comments from Pfirsich and I think reveals more detail about me (or just repeats that same crap redundantly, your call)... I re-read them and realize these words can be said to anyone, to you... your opinions interest me... so I did what I do, I expanded on the previous thoughts and now I ask you to consider the following written directly to you, especially if you have any interest in sharing or being my friend...

your opinions interest me... I look at words written to me or about me and accept that they might be true (even when they dispute what I believe I know about myself)... I do not argue or fight much because I am secure in who I am, I love myself and know myself well (and that can get boring too)...

anything is possible, anything could be right, and any time abut any thing I might be wrong...

I seek a partner, not a master or slave (my independence is so deeply ingrained in my character due to the lack of supervision or parenting from the time I was very small that it is one of the reasons I am alone... most people seem to find independence admirable from afar, but a turn off when it gets up close and personal... from y perspective, people seem to want neediness more than they claim)...

as for violence, the higher energy level I live at is sometimes viewed as violent or aggressive by the lazy people I meet, so I understand the good side of the word violence... I have been hit in this life, been in abusive situations and relationships, and do not like the fact that I hit back after a while of being abused... the violence produced practically nothing positive, just reduced my thought process to the singularity that violence bad (like mmm,ok? if South Park means anything to ya)...

the good violence I put my body through at the gym or on the trail is great, feels great (and I must do it more to survive this lethargic period of life I am currently in)... the violence of play can be fun and I wish I knew more people who trusted enough to share some... it is the violence that results in pain (one kind of violence) that I do not enjoy... I've known much pain in this life, physical and emotional, and it's an interesting challenge for me, but I do not seek it out and do not enjoy inflicting it on others...

as for where I am coming from, I am not coming or going anywhere these days, but at my core I am ridiculously happy and peaceful (which is why I can stagnate and drift so easily, like I'm kicked back on a sailboat, or maybe a dingy, out in the middle of the ocean just staring up at the stars at night and at the clouds and sky each day and hoping someone in their own boat crosses my path when I feel lonely, but loving the solitary drift so much I am not lonely enough to paddle towards anything)...

I only know what I know about me and I could be wrong, so I welcome anyone who cares to come spend time getting to know me and give me another perspective to ponder... I respect honesty more than anything and love kindness, but do not think any sort of lie is kind... so tell me what you think and feel without pulling any punches (and without trying to be mean)... honesty without harm is my way and what I hope for most from you...

I decide what I want to do each moment, whether it is what someone else wants to do or not, it is my decision each time... I'm just a person, good or bad are not judgments I waste my time on (most of the time - hence my reference to the South Park joke 'drugs are bad, m'ok?' which reflects the irreverence I feel about most things... drugs, guns, sex, rock 'n roll, money, anything and everything is not good or bad in and of itself, it's what people do with things, healthy or not healthy, life-supporting or death-supporting, and the risks involved that makes an act good or bad - and each act, each time, for each individual is a personal judgment, not a general rule)...

I want you to be responsible for yourself, to share yourself as you wish, to define yourself as you are (or be a fantasy if that is what you want to be)... I'd like to talk to you on the phone, even more, I'd like to look into your eyes and see you in the flesh (more than a picture, I mean)... I'd like to know who you are, where you're coming from, and what makes you tick (besides enjoying discussion on the internet)...

I'd like to know why you think what you think about me, not just what you think about me... and I'd like to know what you think about yourself and life and love and music and words and the human senses and creativity and sensuality and religion and politics and western culture and space and the cosmos and death and sex and sports and games and passion and pain and chocolate and water and the paranormal and the known and god and food and the planet and computers and the internet and history and mythology and humor and what matters most to you and anything I didn't list here that is important to you - and why you think what you think... and I'd like to know how you feel (substitute the word feel for think in the previous sentences)...

I think I dance around aggressive actions because I am easily bored with direct confrontation, been there, done that, look for other interactive games to play... I experiment with alternative approaches and reactions that might teach me and others more than a quick knee-jerk reflex... I tend to play with human nature in order to try to understand it better (and to keep myself from getting bored)... I find people are way too easy to read and manipulate in the offline world and that is not my object in life, but I do it in order to continue interacting and get some of what I want... what I want most is someone who dares to expose everything and wants to share everything, but I rarely find anyone who truly wants to (and can) be completely open and honest with themselves (no less with me)...

in that sense, I am still four, apparently fearless in opening myself and sharing with others at first meeting not because I am fearless, but because sharing and learning and finding true friends is more important than fear of what might happen or what they might do to me... tomorrow is tomorrow, I am living today... anyone who enters my sensory sphere, anyone who lets me know they exist, anyone who comes into my physical world is welcome to share anything and everything we mutually want to share for the moment and each moment we decide what feels good and what doesn't and move on from there...

that seems to scare and attract people depending on how close and personal it is... that's the dichotomy of the hypocrisy of human nature... most people react, at least at first, with fear and suspicion to someone who is open and honest in their face... but most people admire openness and honesty in the public forum, in the safety of the crowd... and when it comes to one on one intimacy, openness and honesty becomes even more a dichotomy...

I want it on every level... show me someone else who does...
