OK, Damnit! 16 Things!
16 Very Specific Things About Me——–UPDATED 1/2011
1) My favorite book of all time is the Webster’s Lexicon Dictionary of the English Language, has been since 7th grade. I have a real love affair with language and words. A very sweet librarian let me actually get away with the outright theft of a very good dictionary in the 8th grade. ( “poor kid…he’s not going to be very popular….“) I still have it.
2) I play the flute (badly), occasionally now. I do not own a single music CD, tape or record….and have never in my life downloaded, purchased (or stolen) any. …but I really like almost all genres of music and like to sing and whistle when I’m alone. I do both pretty well . Silence is good, too! This has changed! I now own some CD’s……yay!
3) One of the things that perpetually bothers me most about myself is how I wake up each day KNOWING how naturally selfish and egotistical I am. At least today, after a very late start, I’m beginning to understand the joy and wisdom that comes from actively FORCING myself to do SOMETHING nice for somebody else everyday. I regularly fail at this endeavor, but am also learning not to beat myself up about it. I like myself.
4) I’ve always struggled with the ‘big’ unanswerable questions, a lot. I believe there are many contributing factors to this all-too-human dilemma. 1) I strongly identify with both of my parents’ diametrically opposed views on spirituality. My mom was a catholic, while my dad was “U.S. Navy, Retired”. To be married within the church, was contingent upon his agreement to raise any children (6, I’m #2) produced by this union, within the church. He agreed, and honored his word, but could not help infusing in his children a strong belief in, appreciation for, and a nearly infinite commitment to the wisdom of, well, let’s call it ‘the scientific method”. I grew up eagerly awaiting the next copy of National Geographic and later Scientific American. What is currently the result , (for me), of this ‘experiment’, is that I identify best with the tenets of Zen Buddhism, Deism, and Agnosticism. (Deism holds a slight lead) However, only firmly enough to discuss them intellectually and not with any ‘bedrock’ conviction. I respect sincere spiritual questing, the endplace, of such, is not important to me. Today, for me, “I don’t know” is the only perfectly accurate response to life’s big unanswerables. As a simple day-to-day guide, however, the golden rule serves well.
5) My left foot is fine, but have seven toes on my right. I keep meaning to do something about this. OK… this is a lie, couldn’ t help myself. Here’s a truth for ‘ya. While I love to flirt, I have been celibate for a long time…I’d tell ya’, but won’t!
6) After many years of being an angry person, for unknown reasons, I realize now that being angry is not a reaction, it is always a choice….and that choosing it is, for me, always completely fruitless and unwise. I have not been angry in over 5 years, ever. It is my greatest gift to myself and those I share my life with. I am working on cynicism, trying not to eliminate my sense of humor in the process.
7) I have three wonderful children whom are the source of my only shameless pride: My beautiful Emily, 25, just graduated from University at 23 with her teaching credential to teach high school biology, YAAAY! EMILY! (UPDATE/2011 And is now teaching her second year at Franklin High School in Stockton, CA.) Nicholas, 22, who is in his third year of college and up to his neck in higher mathematics, engineering, motorcycles and his sweet girlfriend, not in that order, I’m sure, GO NICK!, and Hannah, almost 21, who just wants to be beautiful the rest of her life, has been working towards becoming a pharmacist….WAY TO GO! HANNAH! I was divorced, amicably, from my wife of 24 years, almost four years ago. We actually get along much better now than we ever did when married. I have my doubts as to whether I’m good ‘partner material’ for anyone.
8) While I sincerely like people, I am a loner…..a couple hours, tops, is about all I can seem to comfortably stand in any one day.
9) Though I wore braces for 4 years when young, I, in my infinite youthful wisdom, did not see the sense in wearing my ‘retainer’, and today have a gap between my two front teeth wide enough for an M&M to pass, the skinny way.
10) I am a complete slob….and a collector of things, both ugly and worthless, rare and beautiful.
(UPDATE 1/2011……slightly less of a slob ;^)
11) I smoke like a chimney, and my blood is always at least 50% coffee, I am now a tee-totaller, and no longer use any illicit drugs, (over 5 years now, 6 years in March) though for 34 years was a chronic pothead. (maybe ties into #6?…ya ’ think?)
12) I have pretty bad hearing and should’ve gotten a hearing aid years ago….Huh? What was that?
13) I eat only when hungry,
