about me part 1

HMMMMMM......OK so this "about me" blog, yeahp tougher than I thought lol.i'm kinda stumped as to how and where to begin. do i list out a timeline of things that have happened and made me who i am or do i just wing it and figure it out as i go?



ok looks like i'm just winging it as i go, which is good cuz a lot of the times i'm fly by the seat of my pantsish and spontaneous. other times i do like to have a plan set out. i have a few personal quotes i've made that represent me the best. there's the saying "he or she marches to the beat of a different drummer." to state that someone is different than the norm,but in essence that also kinda means that somehow, someway they are also the same as someone else, no? well my first quote: "i don't march to the beat of a different drummer. i beat up the drummer boy stole the drums and now i'm my OWN drummer". i feel that describes me very well, as there are many different sides to me and i don't think i fall into any one particular type of category.



now that,that has been established, let's go on to the "about me" part. you see a guy who shaves his head and has a long goattee and tats (granted i only have four and i'm not covered in them but still) and what is the first thing that comes to mind? i have a scorpion with a red circle (sun maybe idk what the heck its supposed to be i just thought it was cool and i'm a scorpio) i had 2 people think the tat was because i was in a gang! ok so we have people out there who do judge by the cover but there are people who don't judge a book by its cover. however stereotypically what does one think? sometimes we start forming images of someone based on looks: like what type of person they are, what kind of music they like, how they treat people etc.



a little more about me, we'll start with clothing style. a lot of times people will get caught up in dressing in one particular style of clothing.not me, i wear what i like regardless of what style it belongs to and i have NOTHING wrong with people who do only dress in one style. if that's what you like it's what you like, who am i to judge? most of you on twitter see how i normally dress(t-shirt and jeans, boots, bandana or winter hat depending on the weather) i also love hats (STILL trying to find a Toronto Raptors hat btw ;) hehe)and i have a decent collection of jereys (baseball football basketball etc) . i also have nice dress shirts and nice dressy clothes as well. again i buy what i like and what i think is cool regardless of what "style" it belongs to. sadly too many of us judge others based solely on appearance. i worked at citizen's bank in a call center and had to dress nice and take the bus everyday. how people reacted to me when riding the bus dressed for work all fancy, and when i wore day to day wear tshirt, or hoodie, hat and jeans was astounding. i have an example from just the other day. i was wearing a nice plain hoodie from old navy and a pair of nice jeans, well kept boots, and a black winter hat. i was out for a walk leaving my neighborhood , when an older lady (im guessing in her 60'sish) is walking down the street on my side. i would say we were maybe about 4 phone poles apart when i saw her clutch her purse pick up her pace and cross the street still clutching it as she continued past me on the otherside of the street. i understand being cautious in today's world, but how does that make me feel? what would you have done had you not known me? this next example isn't about me but what happened in the news in 1 town over from me. nice well off town had 9 high school kids arrested for making homemade soda bottle bombs. 1 blew up a mailbox, and another was placed under someones car. to look at these kids pictures in the paper, you wouldn't expect something like that from them based on how they are dressed.what if i dressed "preppy", or "businesslike". how about "sporty" or "rocky". what if i was wearing ripped raggedy & dirty jeans? to not know me what would you think? would you classify me into the sterotypical category for each? i try not to judge or categorize based upon how someone is dressed, because how you dress doesn't necessarily have to reflect how you are as a person.



noooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww do i move on to personality, likes, dislikes, or interests next hmmmmmm.......welllll i'm off to ponder, so i'll leave you with this as part 1......hope you like it so far :)
