Inasmuch as I am so abysmally ignorant, I will simply refer you to the sages. "Remember that the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." Willie Nelson "There is something I like about the clitoris, but I can't quite put my finger on it." George Carlin "And (wo)men have less scruple in offending one who makes himself loved rather than one who makes himself feared; for love is held by a chain of obligation which, (wo)men being selfish, is broken whenever it serves their purpose; but fear is maintained by a dread of punishment, which never fails." (The parenthetical additions are my own. oc). Niccolo Machiavelli "Most people with low self-esteem have earned it". George Carlin "Let today's troubles be sufficient for today". Jesus Christ Food for thought? Oldcelt I don’t understand quite what is the problem or why there is one. Inasmuch as I am so abysmally ignorant, I will simply refer you to the sages.

If you think you're lame, that's what you're projecting to everyone else ... whoa, check out that lame dude. If you think you're the shit, people will pick up on that too ... whoa, that jackass thinks he's the shit. I'd recommend going for happy and funny. People always want to be around the funny guy that's trying to make the best of a situation. Plus, I think it's a natural, genuine disposition for you and honest to who you really are.
