About Me
So you want to know all about me, eh?
First off I want to mention I am a passionate, inquisitive and ambitious individual. I’m open minded, perceptive and ingenious.. (no not the opposite of genius….) Google it! But anyway, I have of passion for quenching my thirst for knowledge… I often have to hold back from drowning random people in a flood of questions when I interact. It’s something I have to actively control… admittedly it has not been easy all these years. Those are what I like to deem the “good things” about me…. though I’m certain some will disagree on some level…. But regardless, I am equally irritable, evasive and insatiable. Throw in a little aloof, manipulation and flirtatiousness and I believe you will have a pretty good idea of what I’m about. By the way, the latter are what most would call my “negative attributes”…
I detest people who whine and waste my time… I equally despise “problem identifiers” and “trouble makers”. I realize that we have to be aware of problems… but many times, there are those that identify the problems but don’t offer any solutions… If they start with, ”The problem is…” or ” You can do that, BUT”… I become agitated very quickly. I’m not the type of person who slams the door shut before I know if I can walk in or not… Furthermore, I have difficulty taking advice from people who “think” they know what they are talking about but in actuality don’t have any experience on the matter to speak of. Be leery of who you take advice from. Are you seeking out successful people or those who have failed? Granted, many people are in a transitional state, I am in one myself…. but that’s for another day.
Naysayers and negative people are a necessary resource (especially for a businessman such as myself) but I oftentimes have to seek the advice of someone else because the problem identifier won’t offer any solutions… it’s just not in them to do so. I’m not very pragmatic…. I know what I want, when I want it, I tend to seek out others who can give it to me and know how to do it… Sometimes they do not see my vision, sometimes they do…. As you can probably guess, I tend to be an idealist of sorts… but it has served me well most of the time.
In addition to being a seasoned dreamer I am a serial entreprenuer and dabble in real estate. I’m a former military brat, I love to travel the world and experience new places…. I travel whenever I have the opportunity to do so. I have been blessed to have a mindset that has enabled me NOT to be a slave to any one location…. I have learned over the years to make money and support myself and loved ones wherever I may be… whether in my hometown of Huntington, WV or the middle of the ocean. I am a big believer in “The Secret” and positive energy. Some of my favorite people are Bob Proctor, Steve Jobs and countless others who tend to have a progressive mind as I see it… I enjoy television programs such as “Shark Tank” and have a fascination with documentaries… I have also been known to enjoy a good drama… I can be a sap when the mood so hits me…
I’m always asking questions (to many peoples’ annoyance) , researching and have a never ending thirst for information. I can sit and daydream all day… I have a tendency to be overly verbose and never really get to the point… I can make something very simple appear to be overly complicated… I am not much of a sports junkie…. it actually depresses me to hear it or see it in any capacity. Why does it depress me? I think mainly because my brothers and cousins were so into it (and excelled in sports) and I was the polar opposite and it left me feeling alone and isolated most of the time. During holidays when they would go out and play football, I was inside talking to grown ups or thinking to myself. I spent a lot of time day dreaming when I was younger…. something that has not really changed to this day. Something that really influenced my life was watching “The Secret” a few years ago…. I’ve read the book and watched the movie. If you want a better understanding of how life works, I urge you to listen to the video below. It has unknowingly been my creed for many years… I just could not articulate it so eloquently as those who created the production.. You really owe it to yourself to watch the movie and at least get the audible version of the book.
But why do you want to know this about me? Why are you here? I’m not being arrogant, far from it… but really, why are you reading this? Wanna know what I think? It could be one of several things…. but the main one is:
“You’ve run into me lately, googled my name and you were directed here… Perhaps you went to school with me at one of the many I’ve attended… you wondered what happened to that shy and backward kid who never said a word and acted afraid of his shadow. Well I’m still here, not as shy anymore, but I do have my moments.”
But anyway, I did the obligatory “About Me” page…. contrary to popular belief, I do not like to talk about myself, but I DO like to share what I’ve learned and am learning… Such as yourself and the world, we are all evolving… hopefully into a much more resourceful, compassionate society, but that too is for another day.. Now if only everyone in the world saw life as I see it…. would be a much better place now wouldn’t it?
