About

Welcome,

Well hello there and thank you for taking an ‘x’ amount out of your finite time to come and visit me. :-) I sincerely hope not to disappoint, though I can’t give you any guarantees that I won’t. Because no matter what I {say,write}, how I {say,write} it. It’s bound to be misunderstood by someone at some point in time. <- Maybe it’s a “Karmic Thing” or it isn’t, I don’t know… But “annoying” it is, to say the least. <- I’m most certain that you can relate to this in one way or the other.

In summary:

Current Age: 36
Current Occupation: Salesman.
Current Goal: To stay and remain true to myself, no matter what.
Current Interests: Photography, programming, watching movies as well as the desire to {edit,make} those, reading and taking long walks (i.e. I like to {think,contemplate} about a variety of subjects a lot.).
Current (and recurring) passion(s): Women, sex, love, relational dynamics and how this all relates to me. <- Participation and non participation of yours truly. ;-)

About virtues and vices:

My vices:
Smokes tobacco. Yes.
Smokes greens. Occasionally.
Drinks coffee. Too often. :lol:
Drinks alcohol. Never.
Has a sweettooth. Most certainly! :lol:
Drugs (all other than the ones previously mentioned). Never.
My virtues:
Do I exhibit patience? Yes.
Do I have stamina? Occasionally. ;-)
Do I like to ramble (I meant talk a lot. :lol: )? All too often. ;-)
Do you listen to other people? If and only if, I find what’s {said,written} interesting enough.
Do you lie to other people? Honesty dictates, that I musn’t answer this question with no.
Do you {think,care} about other people? Always and often too much, than I deem healthy!

The rules of engagement:

As counterintuitive as this might sound to you. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years.

Then it would be:
If you're going to sell something, then at least be honest about your product.
Do not pretend to actually like the product, because it's so easy to discern for your client when you're full of shit, or not.

Or...

If the product isn't available. Don't go ramble about possible reasons (even if the truth is among them.) for this. The client doesn't care about all that. *I just want my <a target="_blank" title="Where are the fucking twinkies." href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1156398/quotes?qt=qt0995210">darn</a> Twinkie*

If however you provide the client with an alternative. Either because you've that alternative in stock, or because you know where they sell it. Then by all means, please do say so. You'll thank yourself later on for doing so, because you might have gained a regular customer.

As the salesman that I am, I believe to be your worst {client,customer}. ;-)

Long version:

You and me:

I prefer the people I interact with, {off-line,on-line}, to be indeed {straight,honest} in their dealings with me, or they should state: Hey, how about some role-play? « To which I probably (depending on type of play) would say: Yes, sounds like fun!

“O.k. guys we are back in hardware mode…”

In truth and thus in reality. Neither do You know me, nor do I know You (completely). Thus chances are that at some point in time I’m going to {say,write} something that {may,might} upset You. Including but not limited to this profile. So please do us both a favor and don’t take things too personal!!! As for me: I’m sure I mean well and as a result will always say what I mean, as for Your interpretation of all that… Well dear reader that’s an exercise I’ll have to leave in those more than capable hands of Yours.

“What You see is what You get, right?” <- Are You sure. :-) Or do You honestly believe I am even willing to try to live up to any expectation(s) of a person I have never met? I find it more logical to be {spending,investing} my time and attention on my own expectations of me. *Insert something spiritual here* Like a talk about how my path crossed Yours or vice versa, and {is,was,will be (perhaps?)} {shared,walked upon} {in,on} a certain moment of time and space.

*This should make Your readers 'go awe'.* :lol:

Anyway back on Earth:
(Like any dude or dudette out there.)

« I am just a guy who simply tries to make his way through the universe… Preferably unscathed! :-D »

While usually true;
Do;
echo -e "\tTell the world by means of this profile that its maintainer usually is a lighthearted guy who doesn’t take things to serious, especially himself.\n\tA person who accepts and respects that other people may have another {take,view} on whatever it is they {want,like} to view.\n\tViews of which I may or may not either respectfully (will) {decline,refuse} to uphold.\n\tOn the bright side 'You' {may,might} have 'inspired' me in the past and therefore may have contributed to my view(s) of the world (in its most general sense.)"

echo -e "\tThen again:\n\t\"If I am not wrong then I must be right\""
Done.

As for my personal interests, motivation(s) and what You should know about them, they vary. Why? While I may have overheard a conversation or read something on the web that sparked my interest. I will then devote all or most (depending on my resources and amount of interest) to the current ‘{infatuation,endeavor(s)}’ at hand. As a result I believe to be a fairly varied person who is at least slightly in the know in his preferred “field(s) of {stud{y,ies},interest(s)}”. If not then it will only be a matter of time, before I’m found out… ;-)

Last but not the least (for now):
I used to enjoy reading and writing personal letters a lot (Written with an actual pen, OMG)! These days as evidenced by this blurb, I more often use facebook and other social media to stay in contact with my friends. I.e. I follow their wall and some follow mine (and optionally they either comment or choose not to.). So while I could write You more about me and highly appreciate a well written to be read by me profile (+1 to You)! I believe there to be no substitute for actual interacting with people and getting to know them or their (virtual) life in another than the aforementioned way.

Therefore add me as a friend (on Facebook) or subscribe to my blog, or I could do those same things instead and then we both may watch and learn! :-)


That’s all folks!

Kindest regards,

Alex
