That's Just Me

I think everyone should know their strengths and faults.

My faults are too numerous to mention but I'll try. I'm arrogant, sarcastic, judgmental, gripey, grouchy, biased and worst of all, I think I'm smarter than most folks. I can be mean, unapologetic, unforgiving and intolerable. I won't go into details but I've been a jackass, sometimes purposely.

As far as strengths go, I can only name a few. I'm genuine, caring and steadfast. I've been full of shit but now I won't tolerate it around me. I want to make other lives better around me, sometimes sacrificing my own comfort for someone else to gain. Learned that from my Dad...I try to be more like him everyday. I'm opinionated but they are not set in stone. I listen well because I know that I don't know it all. I learn from others all the time because my opinion derives only from what I've experienced.

Am I a good guy? I hope so. Am I fair? I try to be. Am I a jerk? Most definitely. Do I make you smile? Maybe. Am I a good friend? Definitely. Do I have all the answers? Not at all!

I sincerely hope that even casual friends know how much they mean to me. Framily?? Let's just understand right now that I won't tolerate being around anyone that is running you down. Yes, I'm an angry little SOB but you couldn't ask for anyone to defend you more fervently. Even in disagreement, I think friends and family matter more than any quarrel.

Overall, I hope that I'm a person that you enjoy being around, if not, I'm not changing anyway. So deal with it or go away!
