When I was out earlier, shopping for more gifts for my parents. There were some good sales the day after Christmas. My thoughts were flowing as I was driving about. I was thinking about why I chose "un-understandable mind"... what is my case to defend my logic. Here are a few things:
- I have a fear of rejection, yet I do not have a lot to show for being rejected... most of the time I am the rejector in a relationship not the one who is dumped or denied a date.
- Public speaking in front of large crowds is something I do well at, yet speaking in smaller groups can be tricky for me. [Gave successful presentations at national conferences and in front of important people.]
- People think I am a neat, attractive, wonderful guy, yet I have very few close friends.
- I am a very hard worker, I take initiative and I am very gung-ho when working, yet when I get home I tend to be a "bump on the log" and the world's greatest procastinator.
- I am very hard on myself and have high expectations for myself, yet I am very laid back and easy going with others.
- I love movies, music and auditory-oriented entertainment (comedy clubs, musicals/plays, etc.), yet most of the time I don't understand what is being said... unless it is it captioned.
- I know how to cook, yet I mostly get something I can pop into the microwave if I eat out...mainly to get fast food.
- I work a full-time salaried job that is 35 hours a week, yet I am too busy for much else. [35 hours is spread out throughout the day/ night and week]
- I am left handed with most fine motor skills (writing, eating, combing hair, etc), yet I use the mouse right handed, I throw, bowl, and other gross motor skill with my right hand.
- I was elected secretary of a search and rescue group when in college, yet I have a difficult time hearing well enough to take decent notes.
- I don't like tomatoes too much (but will still eat them), yet I really like tomato sauce, ketchup and other tomato based things.
- I like college basketball (especially University of Maryland) but I don't like the NBA.
- I have never understood the fascination people have with NASCAR, yet is is enjoyed by millions of people (and I like to drive fast myself).
- I can be clever and funny sometimes but other times (like now) I can't think of diddly-squat!
Well, I got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow. My goal is to clean my parent's house and their cars to surprise them when they return on Wednesday. I also need to wrap their gifts. Since it is Tuesday, it is my Bowling night... last week was a good week for my team, we won all three and finally came together as a team... having fun at the same time. Off hand I cannot remember my exact scores, but I think they were 215, 195, 224, it is well enough to raise my average from 196 to ??? Time to sign off to get my sleep.
