I should probably tell you a little bit more about myself

So, I figure that it might help if I told you a little bit about myself.  I really hope I don't regret doing this.....

I'm a pretty optimistic guy.  My life hasn't worked out the way I planned, but whose does?  I know this, I can handle it.  Whatever comes my way, I can handle it.  I pray a lot.  That's important.  Trust me when I say it helps.

You guys can see my picture.  I figure I don't need to say anything other than, my appearance is pretty average.  I'm losing my hair though.  That kind of sucks because I'm pretty sure I have a ridge that goes right down the middle of my head.  When I end up bald I'm going to look like the "chicken from hell."  (Don't feel bad, I didn't know what that was either.  I spent forever trying to find a dinosaur or an animal that would fit the description of how I think I'll look and I ended up having to settle for...)

So, I'm pretty average looking.  I'm OK with that.  It's how God made me.  Moving on....every once in awhile I'll do something that doesn't make sense even to me.  For instance, I recently took this picture..

Why?  Because I had never seen three white pigeons together before.  I know.  Who does that?  I do.  What can I say.  I'm also anal about certain things.  For instance, I originally titled the picture above "pidgeons"  I had never spelled pigeon before.  At least, I don't remember ever spelling it.  I titled it quickly and uploaded it, but I didn't feel right.  I had to check.  Yep, I spelled it wrong.  I had to fix that.  Would anyone care that the title of the picture was misspelled?  Yes, I would.  So I fixed it.  I'm fully aware of how ridiculous that is, but it's who I am.  As I've said, simply me is not so simple.

I'm turning 40 this summer, and that really doesn't phase me at all.  If I'm lucky it will happen without anyone realizing it.

I am a band geek.  I'm a third generation trumpet player, though I haven't played in years.  I also totally dig a capella music.  Actually I love musical theater in general.  I would love to be able to spend my evenings watching Broadway shows.  Hey, don't judge me!

I also played tennis in high school and have recently started playing again.  I was/am decent but not great.  My timing was totally off though in high school.  When you think of tennis players now you think of Rafael Nadal, or Andy Roddick if you're a bit older.  Those guys are like awesome models.  Playing tennis now is pretty cool.  Playing tennis when I played....not so much :)

Hmmm, what else?  I love to read.  When my oldest was a bit younger he loved to read so I started reading the books he was into so that we could talk about them. He's 14 now and would much rather play on the computer than read, so I'm kind of on my own.  I just finished the Divergent series and really enjoyed it.

I love to dance.  I can still dance like Vanilla Ice.  Again, don't judge!  It may not be very cool, but at least I'm not Carlton Banks.  I also don't embarrass easily.  It's a good thing if I'm dancing like Vanilla Ice right?  I just figure, I'm a dork, it's easier to just accept it and use that to make people smile.  I find that people smile a lot when they are laughing at me.

There's a lot more, but I think I should stop before I say something that really makes people wonder.  I just started this blog, give me a couple of weeks ;)
