So here I am, 27 years old and fresh to the scene of Augusta GA. I have noticed a severe lack of ability when it comes to social interaction. The general rules of how people get to know each other, get comfortable, etc...and thought this would be a great place to start building a knowledge base. I found this site while I was digging around the web last night and have found it to be both intriguing and beguiling. As for my hobbies and interests, they are many. I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, martial arts (currently taking Wu-Shu at the Wu-Xing Martial arts institute) however I have also taken lessons in Kum Do, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Qi, and other random styles that have come my way through the many misadventures in my life. I also enjoy going to the shooting range, pulling practical jokes, and of course...getting laid. As for passions, my passion is life itself. Living is an amazing experience, however; ever since I joined the military and was uprooted from my core group of friends back home I have found myself having gaps in social "grace" that my friends made up for. Now that I am on my own, I find myself having problems meeting people, knowing what to say or to do, my confidence is pretty shattered. I am 6 feet even, in decent shape, (kinda have to be with my job), I have large scars on my scalp, and trying to find a good way to play them to my advantage without sounding "braggy." So far the only game I have played is saying (in the words of Emenem) "Saying whatever I want to whoever I want, whenever I want" That tends to not work out so well in many occasions. I want to have a scientific method that I can use to form hypotheses and eventually build my own personal style. Right now I am working on writing down all the things I have done thus far that have been interesting in my life. I think there are a lot....but maybe a second eye couldn't hurt. Later on I will be posting them in some channel or other for others to use, review, or ignore. Whichever they want. One other reHEAALlly annoying thing. Haven't been laid in about 2 years even come December 14th. Had a pretty nasty breakup right before joining up and I haven't been the most "adventurous" when it comes to women since. I believe the time is right and I am done licking my wounds. So help me, hit me, or you can eat me.
