I am now 28... I have outlived all my own life expectations, because at a young age I decided that when I got my drivers license at 16, it would prolly kill me... So far it hasn't, next up I was sure, at 18, that tobacco, porn, or gambling would do me in... Again, nothing. So finally at the ripe old age of like maybe...

I go to school Monday through Friday. I work Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and all weekend... I know 14 credit hours is not so bad, and neither are 30 hour work weeks. In fact when I was deployed I worked 7 days a week, 20 hours a day for 8 months straight... I don't understand how I'm so exhausted now, when I worked so much deployed...

It's been 10 years. Over 1 million miles traveled. Fought with alcoholism, depression, anxiety, loneliness. Been to war. Worked a dozen jobs. Seen my fair share of hard work and sleepless nights. Had up's and downs, been kicked and beaten, battered and bruised. Had a family. And my very first college class, my 20-something professor tells the class " NONE of you know what real...

I used to ride dirt bikes not long before my teenage years... I spent a lot of time on nice, groomed tracks. And very little time actually out trail riding.

I exploded my right foot over the weekend. Actually Friday evening to be specific. I'm so not happy about it.

Sadly, most (if not all) of us judge others initially on appearance.  In both good and bad ways.  We project positive qualities on those who we are attracted to, even if they are not deserved, and project negative ones on those who do not meet our preconceived notions of beauty or conformity.  I think this is just human nature.  What you are describing happened to me often in my twenties, and there were times when I even actively encouraged it just so that others wouldn't mess with me.  I have found that the quickest way to dispel these attitudes is whenever I sensed it occurring I would simply make eye contact, nod, and smile.  That small act of engagement is usually enough to lessen any possible fear they may have and at the same time cause them to begin to reevaluate their own prejudices.  I'm not suggesting that they will suddenly see you as jovial, but it does allow you to start controlling the situation.  Just a thought.  (smile)  BTW, the only impression I personally get from viewing your photos is that I believe I would much rather have you on my side during an altercation than on my opponents.  -Kurt
