Just Me

The Move I walk amidst the present circumstance At times to search, at times to plainly see And though I strive to reach beyond this trance The whole remains as a dim memory   I’ll go, I know, to times as yet unseen It’s there that fate upholds my hidden vein Though deeper still lies every lasting mean The past is just a thing that must remain                                                                                                 -Lazarus

Put 'em up, put 'em up!

I believe that I’m usually a fairly restrained individual. I prefer to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner as opposed to shouting or arguing in some dramatic fashion. This is not to say that I don’t know how to stand up for what’s right, as I have often had to deal with people who challenged me regarding matters that involved doctrine, business, and general issues that included strong opinions and various actions. I believe that I can be a resolute and convincing person, whether dealing with issues that are personal or professional in nature, but I still prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible. I think that the art of diplomacy is slowly fading from our society. I’m also not someone who believes that physical confrontation can amount to any good. I try to avoid reacting to situations in any way that would provoke someone toward a fight (such as dealing with road rage type of drivers and obnoxious people in public places…know what I’m sayin’ ?). I do enjoy working out, and I do so...
