I have to admit, I get treated like Colonel Nathan R. Jessup quite a bit. But I am really more like Drew Carey. I'm very affable.

My Senior yearbook quotes me as "the guy most likely to repaint the Sistine Chapel, but only on the floor." Obviously my peers considered me a talented goofball. But they say genius makes one a bit crazy. LOL! <shrugs> Nah, I'm not a genius, hahaha, I just get lucky with my artistic adventures at times.

I've learned a great deal in life, these past 50 years. People often mistake my confidence for arrogance, assertiveness for aggressiveness, and unfortunately, judge my book by its cover. Everyone I meet, including my current doctor, has told me they were amazed to learn how approachable and easy-going I am. My mentor always tells me I should play poker professionally. I'm actually just a curious sort. You can often find me peering into the night sky, enchanted by planets, stars, colors, and the wonders of life. And I absolutely love helping people, almost to a fault! Is that really possible? I mean, I prefer to teach a man to fish, than provide them fish. I guess I'm trying to advertise myself, Griatch, to confirm your comment, that yes, I am really a nice guy. I'm glad to see someone say that for a change.

Oh wait, maybe Ramon's artistic flair just made me look like a nice guy? Hmmm...

idk mahvin that avatar of yours is a bit scary

I seem to be the same way though, like to help people (most of the time), and am always curious, but I actually enjoy poker cause very very few people can make me smile if I don't want to.

I would expect it. I dish it out, so I should be able to take it.

That is amazing!! I really need to get back on the computer and figure some of this stuff out! I need to find out about "GPS"? The result is tremendous!

@Mahvin, I always say "Artists aren't crazy! We're eccentric!!"
