Heroes
My parents. In a world of instant gratification and cheap, throwaway relationships, they stayed together 60 years raising 7 kids through hard times, sacrificing their own wants and needs for those of their family, a trait sorely missing in todays' society. They established the moral fiber in all of us that exists today. They showed it's not how much money or power you have, not whether you are the most handsome or beautiful, politically connected, be it govenmental or spiritual, but the inate moral judgement to know right from wrong, good from bad, honor and commitment to your word, through good times and bad (and for them there were many of both), that is the basis for relationships, be they friend, worker, or companion. There are many in this world who have achieved more professionally, but it pales in comparison to what my parents achieved in their love for each other and their family.
About me: Hmmm...what to say about me...
What I think about me and what others percieve can be two completely different things. Most of my friends find me loyal, trustworthy, and genuine, sometimes to a fault. I asked a good friend of mine what he thought my best trait was and he responded "your humanity." When I asked him what he thought my worst trait was, without skipping a beat he said "your humanity...". Sobering lesson in reality...
I like to think of myself as balanced. The glass is neither half-full nor half empty. It is, after all, just a glass with liquid in it and I guess that best describes me in a nutshell. Pragmatic and realistic. Resourceful and spiritual. As graceful with a nailgun as I am with a spatula and herbs. As good with an iron as I am with an oil filter wrench.
As comfortable in a tux as I am in old jeans and a T-shirt. Not given in to the rat race of chasing the dollar as I am in appreciating life, the arts, family, and friends.(This doesn't mean I don't understand that money has it's place in this world, but that I see it as a tool than a means to an end.)My true friends find me rather generous.
A renaissance man, I am versed in the arts, both musically and artistically. My sense of humor could best be described as "Farside" and putting a positive spin on things when I can. My humor can be self-deprecating at times, not because I have a bad self image, but rather to the contrary. I can put myself down because I am very secure in who I am. I would rather joke about myself than accidently step over the line with someone elses' feelings.(Too easy to destroy friendships that way). I'm here to start networking a career in fine arts, reproduction, and to network with other artists and musicians. Any friends I pick up along the way will just be icing on the cake...
