Hmm. Not sure exactly what to write here, considering the nature of this forum. Usually I post either to spiritual or tech forums, and themes are laid out differently.
I suppose I'll just ramble on about myself. I'm good at that, at least.
I was born 'n raised in East Texas, but please don't hold that against me. I've spent years trying to rid myself of the accent to no avail, so I jsut gave up and embraced the drawl. hmm... politically I'm a moderate, with slight conservative leanings,. and religiously I'm a mutt. I've probably studied at least a little of every religion on Earth, trying to take whatever truth there is from it. I call myself a Taoist, but I'm not necessarily knowledgable on the Tao.
My first love was music, but due to personal life complications I gave up on ever becoming a singer. Now I want to be a writer, but I can never make myself sit down and finish a story. Probably for fear that I'll discover that I'm not so good at it. Meh.
For most of my life I've sold automotive parts, but I've had a host of jobs over the years, everything from a cattle-tender to a computer tech. I even worked as a telemarketer for four hours, before my conscience got the better of me and I had to quit, and I think I'm still certified as a Mississippi river-barge deckhand, though I never managed to find work in that field. But lugging around buckets of hydraulic oil and Ford starters for sixty hours a week finally took its toll, and a year-point-five ago, my back went out. I spent three months not able to raise myself off the couch under my own power, but I'm a little better now, and hope I'll be good enough to go back to work again sometime. Until then, I'm collecting disability.
I'm a big guy, very overweight, which makes the dating world a little scarce, but I do have a woman I'm seeing now. Not sure how it's going to work out, though. I'm hopeful, but I hold no illusions.
That's all I can think of right now. Pax Amo Lux.
I wish that I could turn back time, 'cause now the guilt is all mine,
Can't live without the trust from those you love...
