I had some thoughts on the way to work this morning. A 40 minute drive will do that to a person. Usually, while I keep my eyes on the road, I think certain things over. It happens, and it's all unrelated. :)

The world being round, does that mean if you keep going to the Left far enough, you end up on the edge of the Right?

If everyone around says they're an individualist, and that anyone who likes anything mainstream is a mindless sheep, and you're the only one around that even tolerates 'mainstream' wouldn't that make you the individualist among the sheep?

I am...who I am. I've made mistakes, and I've been screwed over by others. I make no claims to being not at fault every single time. There have been times in my life I have majorly fucked up. I also do not embellish my life's story, or outright lie about it for other people to think I'm cool. I also refuse to let my past affect my future.

I make no claims to perfection. I'm not perfect. It would suck if I did, because everyone would be expecting me to do so all the time, and no one needs that kind of pressure.

I. Am. Not. Shallow. I shouldn't be so non-humble about it, I admit. But...if I truly know anything about me, it's that.

I'm a man in love. Still am. :) Still the coolest feeling on earth. Well, it is the coolest guy on earth. ;)

Okay, that's about it. Need to get to my desk.

Individualism IS the mainstream, haven't they heard? There are some people who feel such a desire to rebel that they think anything they can find easily is wrong (clothes, styles, etc.). They seek conflict. That is just ridiculous (conflict for conflict's sake), and smacks too much of Dubya anyway.

As for being non-humble about not being shallow, good! I came to the realization, thanks in part to nonuglygays, that I am better for not being shallow and for having some compassion than some people. I found something I can be proud of.

And you certainly should be too!
