An introduction of sorts

So. There are alot of people who are sitting on my friends list. A few of you are ones that I've lost touch with all these years ... and through the glory of the interweb box that was blessed by the Hawkings himself to us undeserving peons ... you have been able to get back in touch with those who have disappeared to the annuls of time.

So, in the spirit of getting to know each other again ... Allow myself to reintroduce myself ...

I go by D.K. now ... no longer Dave, or David ... sometimes Douchebag ... but that's reserved for more intimate moments .... or maybe not.

I used to be your typical nerd/loser ... self-loathing and all that dumb crap. Not any more. I don't put up with drama, I just walk away. So, check it at the door. I grew up ... only enough to grow out of that depressing stage of my life.

I don't drink coffee very often, but one cup is usually enough to make me start vibrating with energy ...

I used to drink like a fish. Now I just have a beer or two, the heavy drinking is saved for very special occasions. I've done many stupid things while drinking ... as I'm sure most people have.

I go to the gym, have a trainer, who I've affectionately named 'Foofie' ... and now her fellow trainers call her that. One day, we're going to have a battle royale in ClubFit south side. I've already gotten her to smack me and we've since entered a new phase in our relationship. I've also threatened to rub my ass against her in retribution for causing my old gym shorts to rip with her sadistic games involving a 16KG ball from hell. So much history with those shorts all gone to waste.

If you haven't guessed by now, I've actually developed a sense of humor .. a rather crude one ... but one none the less.

I'm also very sarcastic ... not because I've become bitter ... okay, maybe I have become bitter. But not in a 'fuck the world' kind of bitter. More of a bitter as unable to comprehend the depravity that this world, and us, allow ourselves to endure. Nothing really surprises me anymore. Just a sense of cynical realism that is all too apparent to those who open their eyes and pay attention.

Anyways! Moving on. I'm a little bit crazy now. There are plenty of stories about stupid shit that I've done that I probably should've gotten into ALOT of trouble for.

Fireworks in Gasoline Alley ... after a night of drinking in Edmonton
Airhorns at College Grads and pretending to be a health inspector
Feeding Toilet paper out of a vehicle while driving down Jasper Ave
Many incidents involving Roman Candles ... and much more ...

No, no one has ever gotten hurt. So that's a plus.

I tease, I joke, I make inappropriate comments ... I harass the hell out of my friends. They know that I humbled by their continued friendship and that I generally bend over backwards for them.

I've been compared to being just as awesome as the Dos Equis spokeman who is named 'The Most Interesting Man in the World'. I'm working on having someone write a love song about me ... and to live vicariously through myself (Might help if I actually learn what that word means.)

I have a quote that I found a long time ago that I've adopted as a way to live my life ... I don't remember where I found it ... I just remember staring at it one day and going ... Yes. Yes, indeed.

So, for your reading pleasure:

Life is short, break the rules
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

So, welcome to my world. Don't worry about the spider monkey riding the Jack Rabbit that is dressed like Mighty Mouse. If you ignore it ... he'll just go away.
