'Hurt' by Trent Reznor, arranged by Johnny Cash, sung by Sabastion:
I do things.
I'll gain an interest in something and study it with such an intensity that it borders on obsession. Not to the point of neglecting things. I can usually maintain priorities. After I've become comfortable in my knowledge level I move on to something new. Often in a field where I have no previous experiance. There are a few exceptions. I have not yet become an authority on mystical arts. With over 30 years of studies, I realize how little I know.
I notice things.
I see that which others tend not to.
I don't pre-judge.
I treat everyone as my equal until proven otherwise. At that point you are treated accordingly.
I respect those who deserve it.
Don't ever mistake respect for a station or office as respect for the individual.
I respect the office of the President of The USA.
Don't mistake politeness for respect.
I'm polite to everybody.
I abhore those who are rude.
"Profanity is the crutch of a conversational cripple." ~ Jay Alexander
I mean what I say.
If I am unsure about something I will say nothing. Better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I am very proud of all that I've accomplished.
I'm not looking to impress anybody, simply because this is who I am. I am a sum of all I've done, people I've met, subjects I've studied.
I am extremely grateful to those who helped me when I needed it over the years. Whenever I can, I help someone who needs that little something that keeps them going. If its a word of encouragement or my last $5 for food, It's because of those who saw fit to assist me in a like manner. Thank you.
Interesting jobs and hobbies I've had and skills I've acquired:
Houseman to Linda Goodman
When I was 14 I was introduduced to Linda Goodman. I didn't realize she was an author at the time. She was a friend of my Mom. I knew Linda was wealthy. She owned one of the largest homes in Cripple Creek, Co. She offered me a job after school doing chores around the house.
After a short while Linda and I became friends.
She started teaching me different techniques for manipulating energy, astrology, and other disciplines that I soaked up like a sponge. That was an amazing few years.

From my new line of parenting tools:
The next time you say "Because I said so." will have a lot more weight when you forbid them from going down this really cool looking slide "because you said so."

One of my favorite 'fictional' characters
"Now I'm not saying that I've been everywhere and I've done everything, but I do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kind of FOOL to think we're alone in THIS universe."
