About Me
I'm a straightforward person with little regard for apathy. If I don't like someone, they figure it out quickly. But my friends know they have my loyalty for life. I love what I do -- ask me about it. My work gives me joy -- though of course it also gives me the love-hate agony that comes naturally when you do something you care about. I work hard, but I like to play hard, too. Don't ask me to watch a game -- it's just not my thing. Want to PLAY a game? Now we're talking.
I tend to have either strong opinions on a subject or a curiosity to learn more so that I can have an opinion. It's like a vacuum -- empty space wants to be filled. Fundamental analysis v. technical analysis? I have a strong opinion there. Gun reform? I'm still on the fence. Tell me more. I love to argue, but I also love to learn and to be proven wrong. It's how we grow.
I judge the worth of a person -- including myself -- by his/her inherent goodness. Values. Morals. Those terribly un-hip words that mean the most. Compassion. Empathy. The desire and ability to understand others. That's not to say I will agree with them. But if I don't try to understand, I'm just living in my own head. And that's no way to live.
O geez. I sound like AM radio. My apologies. But really, what kind of a question is this?
