Who are you?
The interesting thing about the internet is that we can pretend to be whomever we please and no one has to be the wiser. We can use any avatar and put forth any persona we like but is it really us or is it only the face we wish to use here on the internet.
I generally distrust the internet but the members here on SRP I trust for the most part. Because I trust the members here I will present to you myself and I hope others will do the same.
I am a rather undisciplined individual who does only what is needed for survival or pursues particular interests such as history or linguistics. Survival always comes before my interests though. I will survive at any cost and defeat all that stand in my way of that one goal. I will best even those that are more disciplined and more capable if it means the difference between life and death or making a living or not making said living. When things are good and I need not struggle to make it I generally become lazy...I guess I am a bit like a wild dog living in a civilized world.
There is a film clip that describes me rather well. I am not certain that the character of Lieutenant Algren describes me but this one scene describes me to a tee, at least from my perspective. Anyways, here is the scene:
YouTube - The Last Samurai - Battle In The Fog
In that scene it exposes my core as I see it, especially after minute 1:27.
I have more to me but I am only trying to present my core. I may offer more later but for the time being I am looking for members who are willing to expose their deepest selves as they see it.
Is there anyone willing?
I hope so.

I tend to be labeled as a loon unable to amount to much. Given my lack of communication skills I have a hard time dispelling that. I guess thats one reason I spent so much time at the range as a young adult, from 17 till about 35 I lived on the firing line. I didn't have to talk much to communicate what I was doing or what I could do. Even in the Army I would be written off till I got on the line and was able to connect all that was going on. Forget trying sports or anything outside of shooting, I still have no clue about sports...
I could easaly see myself as the charicture in "The Shooter" YouTube - Shooter Trailer
Now I'm trying to branch out but the old ways still are the most comfortable.
