What are you waiting for?
For those of you who stuck by me during my very emotional out pouring this weekend I truly appreciate you.
But there is a great deal of humor in the situation that doesn't escape me either. I've ben on FUBAR about 2 yrs now, and i joined specifically because of emotions. I grew up with a father who was something of a stoic. Not to say he didn't love us but his brand of maleness was to be rather closed off, in reality we were fucking Vulcans. His particular brand of stoicism seemed to have stuck better on me than on my two male siblings, but i do deal with the public more than they do and my opinion of the average person may be a bit low.
I started my work life writing and performing standup in the Albany NY area, then teaching/socialwork with troubled youth and now i'm in sales... Ithink i've learned to be phony, swallow emotions, and be phony from my work experience... and i really began to withdraw from people.
2 yrs ago i was living like a hermit and seeing a counselor who suggested a social networking site. My son got me on myspace, which i hated and from there i got invited to FUBAR. When i got here i was so shy and clumsy at even making friends. The few friends I made mostly deleted and i was about to do the same when the current group of crazies made friends with me and brought me out of my shell.
The point of this blog is that the counselor's little excercise worked... i don't feel like a Mr. Spok anymore... at least on FUBAR. I do want to spread this into the real world... without explosions like the one I just had. So i'm just saying thanx...!
