A story worth telling has several points in it and ideas that many can understand and see in there own life. I do have a story with its good, bad and indifferent sides. Nothing like yours but with some similarity in it. I was born in Boise, Idaho and have lived here my entire life. I have traveled outside Idaho and the states but am still living in this part of the state. It would be nice to travel and some day I will again, for pleasure and work hopefully. I have 2 boys that mean everything to me and time is spent with them every week. Since they are the only thing in my life around most of the time, most of my time is given to them. I do not have any animals but I do like all animals (even cats). Life is nothing without enjoyments in it but dont get me wrong, I dont care about fancy cars or nice houses. I do not watch TV to often, or go out drinking. Socially, I go to school and work most days. Other then the that you can find me at the park or the YMCA with my boys swimming. I play soccer a lot and have a soccer ball in my car all the time. I carry other sports balls as well since I have 2 boys but soccer is my thing. I cant shoot hoops very well and play football either. I use to be involved in Soft style Kungfu, have been out of it for many years now. I do speak Japanese but dont ask me how to say anything, read a book first to have a clue then ask me. It is harder to teach someone from nothing rather then if they have a clue. Its not a rude way of putting it, just easier for me and the people who actually want to know. I use to study languages at BSU, I am not fluent in several languages but I do know a lot about several of them. I am going to school for Design now, and the language background helps since design uses culture and language to build on designs. Look at a newspaper and you see every day life in each region if you will. Conversation wise I am shy or have few ways of starting a conversation without any background to go off of. I break thru my shy side with jokes and foolish acts, that is my thing and judged only by me. I will judge people but it is based on actions and what they have said. Everyone judges, so I can not say that I wont judge you. Respect is a big thing to me. I show respect until you disrespect me. It is hard to disrespect me but easy ways of doing that are, stealing from me, lying to me, and being fake. I do listen and usually wont forget to many things, so if you say something or do something, remember that I will remember. We all have moments and I understand that completely. I am human like everyone else, screw ups will happen but if you learn from them then there worth the time. If you dont, you have a big problem then. I am very laid back and dont get mad to easily. You can say whatever is on your mind because I will do it back. I do not need to use harsh words to get my point across like (Stupid, idiot, bi&%^, etc. No need to treat you or anyone else like crap, we are not in high school anymore. Have fun, enjoy life, live life dont let life live you.

"Look down at me and see a fool:
Look up at me and see a god:
Look straight at me and see yourself."

I did not write that but it fits in this world. I watch people because of my art background and people look down on you based mostly on worldly things, others look up at you because of your status, and yet if you look straight ahead at someone you should see yourself since we are all the same in a free america. Live somewhere else with rankings and see your own place there, may help to understand the idea a little more but as Oshii put it "Making an idea for many rather then the few is more knowledge then reading a book or knowing everything". Some truth in all things and this is my life, truth thru everything as long as you grow. Any question just ask.

Depends on the person and what we agree on or fill comfortable with.
