Complicated? No, Not Really
So, in my never ending quest to drive myself crazy with thinking, this topic has popped into my head today, and I just felt like writing about it. Awhile back, I made a joke to a friend that unlike my stereo, I'm complicated (my Stereo only has a few buttons on the face). I think his response was "you're really not complicated" or something to that effect. That is actually a truth-that for as complicated as I can come off or want to come off as, I'm actually pretty basic. So, I figure I'd let everyone in on the big secret to my inner workings...
I have very simple motivations-in fact, my general stance on life is the Freudian view of everything being about sex-unless it's about death. I so know that people are going to argue with me on that one, but hey, am talking about myself here. My primary motivations are play based. I love playing-especially playing hard. Get into my head, play with it, push me further, bring play to spiritual and intense levels-I love stuff like that. If it's lighter play, as long as it's good-I'm there. Gear of course is very cool *g*.
I love cars, and unlike others, I find cars sexy. When I'm working, yes, I do like a nice, new car every few years-that's probably my biggest vice actually, an unhealthy love of the automobile. I can't explain it is what it is. A car to me is more than basic transportation-and while what I'm driving now isn't my usual taste (especially compared to what I drove in the past), it's good for now.
Having fun-I have a relatively adventureous nature, and I'm not talking about play, but rather, in general. Finding new things and having new experiences is always fun for me. I'm constantly looking to do new things-it's just who I am. I mean, it's all about fun-what good is all of this if it's boring and not fun-there is no point in my opinion. Music is important, it moves me, so is art, and yeah, I'm a little bit of a shoe whore-I love shoes. Friends are important-and while some of the friendships I have are extremely complex, that doesn't mean that I am.
Finally, yes, I can be competitive, and often go overboard in terms of work or play because of such. Hell get me next to someone doing the same exact thing, and I'm going to have to be best-it's just my nature. That's pretty much about it-I mean there are those that would say that money is also important to me-but not so much to save, more for spending to have a good time-but it really doesn't take money to have a good time. But, that's me in a nut shell-I'm pretty basic.
