Hmmm… Well, I never really thought about it until you asked. This is an excerpt from a response to a request for answers to the question, “How do your closest friends describe you?” for my profile. When I think about the conversations Marilyn and I had over the years we worked together, I think she must be referring to visions of greater social/political/economic equality. She is very liberal, and I consider myself moderate (fiscally conservative, socially liberal), so I enjoyed playing devil’s advocate to her positions. “The Library should serve the needs of the poor because the wealthy can afford to go to the bookstore.” “We need to consider the opinion of the 49% minority in addition to the 51% majority. But also remember, half of us did vote for the bastard.” “Everyone loves a democracy until they find themselves in the minority.” “I think we should do what the majority wants even when I disagree, after all, this is our system of government.” I guess the salient point is that she believes that I give such issues more well considered thought than most people do, though she didn’t make that clear. (I think she might be one of us. She has an English degree but can’t write in complete sentences.)

Or, is he????????????????????? (sinister sound)

I feel almost as misunderstood here at AspieWorld as I do in NTland. Not quite, but almost. So, I’m going to write a little more about myself here, and I’ll try real hard to keep my tongue out of my cheek.
People who know me seem to consider me a very wise man. I’m open, honest, sincere, sometimes to a fault, (all qualities I understand women find desirable) and sometimes more than a little naïve. I’m very familiar with the writings of the New Testament, The Tao Te Ching, Ram Dass’ Be Here Now and many other texts from humanity’s rich spiritual history. I’m am conversant in the principles of Buddhist and Jungian psychology. My parents and others recognized at an early age that I possessed, or was possessed by, this somewhat uncommon spiritual streak. I try to practice Christian values without claiming to be Christian which is better than the other way around. I’m not concerned with things like heaven or hell. I think what happens to us before we are born and after we die is up to god and what happens to us in between is up to us. I don't believe that a creator god exists outside of us, I believe that there was a co-arising of god and the universe. I do believe in a creator god that exists inside of us, creating this reality moment to moment, that man and god are not separate, that man and god are one. As to the metaphysical nature of that reality, I tend to believe as the Buddhists believe, but when asked, "are you Buddhist?" I say, "I wouldn't go that far." (A little Zen humor there)
On the other hand, I am a man with lusty appetites for food, sex, and beer. I do not deny this aspect of my being. I believe that repression leads to obsession. Only when we acknowledge those base impulses within ourselves do we have any chance of responding to them consciously instead of reacting to them mindlessly. I love to overeat, and until recently I never seemed to gain weight, but the years of doing so have led to Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disorder and I really need to be more mindful of that. And, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, I have a very healthy libido, and, in my opinion, a good positive healthy joyful attitude towards sex. But it’s not just sex. According to my Personality Profile at Yahoo!, I’m a “Romantic,” which means I want a connection on all levels, mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. I joke that I could have been having a lot more sex when I was a kid if I hadn’t been looking so hard for an intimate relationship. It’s not just men who experience a fear of intimacy. Also, I never want to do anything, or have a woman do anything, that would make her feel uncomfortable. I regret the times in the past when my behavior has made women uncomfortable, but young men will be young men. And I have no interest in (actually) having sex with a woman who does not want to have sex with me. Her interest and desire is one of my biggest turn-ons. And beer? What can I say? All things in moderation.
Yahoo! Personals says I'm an "Individualist." "Individualists stand out for their imaginative, curious, shrewd qualities. They're filled with surprises and don't do things simply to please others. Not everyone appreciates these true originals.”
I think it’s grand that people are making fun of me. Yes, I like the attention, but I’m also the first to say, “…if they can’t take a joke.” I don’t really mean it; I’m just the first to say it. I apologize if I’ve hurt or offended anyone’s feelings. I am always well intentioned. It’s true that there are some dirty old men out there, but there are some nice, wise old men too. You might be getting to know one of them right now. Not that I’m old mind you.

(Solidess – Only 670 words. That’s not a long post. Just fills one page in my word processor at 12 pt.) ; )

Sigh.... I will send you a private message on this matter and what I meant.

Hi Ethamin-

No, your post didn’t offend me at all. I was a little concerned that might be inferred. I thought you were probably kidding with “Or is he???” but I was a little bothered that other people might not. I have no problem whatsoever with people making fun of me, as long as it’s good-natured. I know who I am, and a good laugh lightens the load. A lot of people around here need a good laugh.
I didn’t realize SeniorAdmirer was gay men, I just knew it was older men. I discovered it investigating a suspicious computer user. I was pleased he hadn’t been looking at child pornography and I didn’t have to call the cops. Beyond that, I never gave it a second thought.
I like you too, and WP, like all families, certainly has its dysfunctional aspects. I posted what I did because I was a little concerned about the way I feel I’m being perceived in general. I think I’d like people to have a more complete picture of me. I’m not all about sex and jokes. People just seem to be more entertained by that sort of thing than talk of god and religion. I suppose I feel a little insecure too. I’ve been dealing with non-acceptance all my life, and now here I am trying to fit in with people half my physical age. Like Juliekitty says, one would think I’d be used to it by now. (A friend of mine would say “Yes, one would, however…”) Anyway, I’m glad to have yet another new friend, and I’m looking forward to reading more ideas for The MrMarkCalenderSpecial. Veresae still holds the record.

Life is a b***h!

Last reading: Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs* by Chuck Klostermen *A low culture manifesto
"From the kid who brought you Fargo Rock City -the first book in history to garner the praise of Stephen King, David Byrne, Donna Gains, Sebastian Bach, Jonathan Lethem, and Rivers Cuomo - comes Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs - the first book in history to examine breakfast cereal, reality television, tribute bands, Internet porn, serial killers, and the Dixie Chicks."

I am a male 24-year old self-made millionaire. I made my fortune selling Asian orphans on the black market. I have a lot of diverse interests, including: being a thug, popping a cap in yo punk ass, slappin' hoes, and pimping (although it's not easy).

What I look like: if they took the DNA from the top 100 most beautiful people in the world, combined it somehow, and inserted the fertilized egg cell in Britney Spears (because she's so great at having babies), I would be the result.

If someone so much as looks at my lady the wrong way I'll put out a cigar in his eye. It's best for everyone to cast down their eyes when I'm around, just to be safe.

As you can see, I'm a pretty normal down-to-earth kind of guy. The more you know me the more you'll like me, if I don't have to kill you straight up. If you get on my nervous, I'll let you know with a bitch-slap... I believe in honesty and not keeping secrets. It's best to work these things out, which is easy to do since I'm always right even when I'm wrong!

HOLLA!

Yet another argument against breeding.

Absolutely! If your parents had not bred you wouldn't be here now demonstrating your inability to grasp satirical humor.

I'm glad it's satirical. I was just hoping that wasn't what you were really like.

Yesterday was in particular a "argument against the human race breeding" day. I said it n+2 times, due to various instances of what I considered stupidity, and general annoyance at humanity, and my father, who had finally given me a graduation present. (Red Dwarf Series VIII on DVD)
