Please Do...

welcome back!

alas tonight i will not be covering the decline of Romance & Chivalry, another night i suppose. in the wonderful heat of today i got to thinking about getting stickers made to promote this blog, as it is currently word of mouth and, frankly speaking, that just doesn't seem like enough for me. call me pretentious and egotisitical, it's true because, after all, I AM STILL human.

so stickers will be designed & ordered ASAHP (as soon as HUMANLY possible). squee!

so it may seem ridiculous this day in age but i feel that we don't ask enough questions of each other. maybe we have all become scared of going out of our way to gather new knowledge, maybe we lack the self esteem to brave what, in our own paranoid minds, is a strange world that we fear we don't belong to. it isn't rude to ask questions of others, in my opinion, IT IS RUDE to gawk at someone who is different from you in more than just one way. are you wondering where this is going? yes? well consider the question asked and i shall explain.

i'm not your "average" looking guy, by any means. that isn't to say that i am a pin cushion, a full canvas or even a skeleton or over muscled freak. sure i have a few tattoos in a few places (none of those places are NSFW [not suitable for work]) and yes i have 6 piercings (okay, 2 are NSFW but not below the waist, i'm not that brave). add to this minimal body modification, some delicious (AND SUPER CLEAN) lengthy hair that touches the shoulders, all natural (irish tinted) brown hair. i read for fun, not for classes. i watch films from most any country (one in particular i will NOT watch, as its summary alone makes me want to gouge out my own eyes...without having even seen a single scene. if you know what that film is, you feel my pain. lol.)

i love starbuck's pumpkin spice lattes and cheap beer (PBR).
i love handrolled sushi and home-made anything.
i've made friends with people from all kinds of lifestyles and backgrounds.

suave: not even remotely possible.

engimatic: eh, close enough.
open-minded: answer C (what BEST describes the above pronoun "me")

my big pet peev is this; gawking gets you nothing but spiteful actions and words and asking questions, no matter how ridiculous they seem in your head, is a gateway to figuring out things that you DON'T YET understand in your tiny little world.

so, if you happen to see me about, feel free to ask me a question. ask the BIG questions: who, what, when, where, why...etc. i AM generally a nice, patient, easy going guy who doesn't mind talking to ANYONE about ANYTHING, within reason, even the NSFW stuff, if you have to go there.

take a chance every now and then, approach your target with a smile and JUST ASK instead of staring.

everyone is different and MOST everyone deserves respect, not just awkward gazes and hushed talk.
