At the recommendation of someone very near and dear to me, I write this blog as a means of boosting my sense of self worth and self confidence. As many of you know, I've been doing a great deal of soul searching lately - focusing probably far too much on areas of myself where I feel I have significant room for growth and development - and while I struggle to show significant progress in any of those areas from one day to the next, I forget to reflect on all the things I'm doing well. So, I hope you'll all indulge me while I toot my own horn.
I'm a young man still in years, and consider myself to be quite attractive. I like to think I have a unique fashion sense that sets me apart from the rest - at least, on days when I make an effort to dress myself accordingly. I'm a bright man capable of producing bright ideas with what seems like little effort in my eyes - which shows most predominantly in my work, as well as in my occasionally in my creative pursuits. I'm a solid writer with an extensive vocabulary and a defined written voice (in fact, people frequently tell me they like the way I present my thoughts on this very blog). I have a knack for design, which translates to a number of varied applications, and an this is largely either fed or feeds my natural sense of organization and symmetry. I'm color blind, but I have a sense of humor about it - at least in that it has on more than one occasion presented me with the opportunity to engage in conversation with total strangers as to the precise color of various materials and coordinates (most of which I plan to buy for others... best to be sure). I'm a musician, which begs no further justification. I mean, that's just flat out awesome! *grin*
I'm quite adept when it comes to interacting with technology. I like to think I have a well refined and sensible taste overall. I'm friendly. I'm funny. Witty, even. I know a lot about pop culture, and do well to keep up with trends. I've never lost a game of SceneIt! at my house (even though I've seen less than half of the movies I can somehow correctly answer questions about). I know how to successfully complete a Sudoku puzzle. I'm a whiz when it comes to crafting an effective Magic deck - at least, when inspiration strikes - and have even gone out and won a couple top 8 spots on the highly competitive local tournament scene. I own every non-MMO core series Final Fantasy title released in the US, and have finished all but maybe two of them. I can make my dog stay - even after I leave food on the floor and walk out of the room. I'm always thirsty for knowledge, and have recently enrolled in school to pursue what some like to call 'higher learning'. I make good money. I have a decent car (that's paid for). My signature looks like that of a doctor or a celebrity, yet people comment often on how neat my handwriting is - even though I use all capital letters all the time, and have a tendency to write very small.
I have toys at my desk at work. Legos. Star Wars figures. My couch has a throw on it featuring a giant, true to form, hand stitched black mage. I know about Finn and Jake, and have even cosplayed the duo to remarkable acclaim. I like that I can cook (when I try). I believe in ghosts, though I've never actually seen one. I can't sleep unless I have a fan going. I prefer baths to showers - complete with bubbles and salts. I can drink whiskey straight without cringing, and of late I've developed quite a taste for exotic red wines. I've been to Europe, flown several times - mostly for business - and have seen the ocean enough times to know that my favorite sound in the world is the sound of waves rolling in. I like the moon better than the sun. I wear a hat pretty much whenever I can. I like that my facial hair changes every two weeks. The fact that I have a hookah on my coffee table. And I feel like I should mention my love for all things Japanese...
I could go on and on and on, but it's late and I need not bore you with anything further. *happy sigh* This was a therapeutic excercise! And I encourage you, my readers, to try something similar the next time you're feeling down. Live and love as often as you can!
Thanks, mom, for recommending that I do this! I love you!
Word. You are a good friend to my...friend.
