Warts and All

Everybody develops their own little idiosyncrasies, habits, likes and dislikes and things that well, just piss us off, over a lifetime. It has become part of our character. Who we are and in some ways, how people see us. Not necessarily how we want them to see us; but then, that is out of our control now isn't it. Too be sure, we probably have a few characteristics of ourselves that we try and cover up never to see the light of day. For me to say that I have defects of character would be an understatement. Some of these defects of character probably get under the skin of other people. Sometimes that concerns me, if I like those people and wish they would say something to me. If I don't like the people, then I could care less. I'm just that way and I guess that too, is part of my character. I'm most certainly not perfect and would never claim to be. Below is a random list of things that have become well, me;

• my day never starts without coffee
  
• when I was a kid the phrase "do it right the first time" was beaten into me


• which made me some kind of perfectionist and prone to procrastination (go figure)


• I do not leave the house without a shower (unless it's under the cover of darkness and I'm in disguise)


• I'm a shower kind of guy but I do love a good relaxing soak in a bubble bath


• I make my bed and prefer it that way


• when I'm angry, my mouth gets rather colorful and descriptive


• I generally say what I'm thinking (not always good)


• I love children and enjoy their spirit

• If I like you, I trust you
• If I don't like you, I never will


• I love the sound of nature (except loud assed crows)


• I hate the sound of lawn mowers, unless I'm pushing it
