The ~ " What Have You Got Going For You ? " ~ Thread

Winebeavis will play.

I am 6ft and at 200 lbs I probably could drop a pound or two.

I also have blue eyes. I have all of my hair, but I keep it fairly closely cropped as I look like bozo the clown if it grows out. It's mostly brown but getting grayer and grayer on the sides.

I am 45 as of last Friday. I take no daily medications or anything.

I have all of my own teeth. Got my first and only cavity at age 25. But strangely, I had two sets of baby teeth and was still losing teeth at age 22 when new teeth would grow in. I never had orthodontics performed, but I did get teeth removed frequently as a child as new ones kept coming in.

I have an incredibly photographic memory. It's not a gift by any means. There's a lot of stuff I'd rather forget, but can't. Almost all of it mundane. I've had to learn that people forget things that I tell them.

I'm bilingual, but I can "get around, order food, and book a room" in several languages.

I tried to emigrate to Spain in 2007, but couldn't get a visa.

I'm a decent guitar player. Been playing for 35+ years. However, I suspect several here are actually much more advanced than I am.

In an odd paradox, I'm frequently insecure, yet I'm amazingly hard to bullshit and I usually know when I have the upper hand.

To go with the insecurity I have in incredible fear of failure that acts as a double whammy. So, in the professional world, I'm apt to obsess over all the little details and not give an inch. It frequently comes off as hyper-competative. I catch myself all of the time and tell myself to "ease up" regularly.

I also get frustrated easily when something doesn't come to me quickly. And I do have a quick temper.

Many people who work with me think I'm a complete asshole. I'll admit it's not easy. However, I have the ability to complete turn off the work switch and shift gears. I'm frequently bewildered why some let the work life carry over to the home life.

Mrs. Winebeavis is absolutely stunning adorable and I completely robbed the cradle on this one. She was born when I was in high school. She much smarter than I am. I've always done okay with the ladies. I'm not shy and rejection really doesn't bother me. I asked my 8th grade crush to for a "couples slow skate" back in 1980 and she told me "not if I was the last guy on earth." I had sex with her after the junior prom (she was willing!). So, I never took that personal.

Perhaps the greatest thing going for me is that I have a lot of strengths. I also have flaws that can be disasterous. Fortunately I am aware of them on both sides. Sometimes the first reaction would be self destructive, but that pause brings everything back.

I guess you could say I'm probably my harshest critic. But C'est la vie.

Well i`ve never dipped it into Jameson.



So in that way i guess i`m sort of in the top one percent.

Yaaaay me

[MaxJoker]

I far prefer cold to heat

Which might explain the Icy women I've dated

Sooo if it`s true what they say and within the next couple years the Gulf Stream will have turned the West into an elongated crop destroying sub zero winter.

I`ll be laughing.

Well right up until I turn into a grinning Popsicle

A brain that has allowed me to cobble together a good career, pension, house and life with minimal effort.

My friends say I could've done more - but I reply that I demand my "inalienable right to underachieve". Who needs the stress?

[MaxJoker]

I can speak nine languages

No didn't know that did you.

Ok ok I say speak , really I can put on nine different accents.

Butt still
