myself?
hmmm..... well, since this is kind of a unique critique, I'm going to give two perspectives, being that I know both sides.
1: Online.
I am VERY misunderstood. Secretive, abusive, fair, honest, happy-go-lucky (sometimes), cranky (sometimes),..... hmmm..... this sucks you know.
I tend to be more extroverted than I really am.... because in this medium, I can. In real life, I'm not. Most everything I do is done in the spirit of enticing conversation. Whether it's something good, bad, bullshit, or whatever.... whether it's about me, or in reply to someone else, or even a flame thread. That doesn;t mean it's all pure fabrication. Most things I post are BASED on real life things or real life reactions.... some are actual reactions. I treat my online persona as I would if I had gone into the broadcasting industry. I went to college for broadcasting, but radio was not where I ultimately wanted to go.... everything about the field is my passion, except the business/corporate side of it. So I apply everything I learned to what I do now. When you read an "Amputate Your Head" post, you're reading a radio show. And just like a radio show, some of it is based on real life, and some of it is utter nonsense..... if you can't tell the difference, then I'm doing it right.
2. Real World.
I am nothing like what you see here. Yes, the pictures are me. Yes, the pics of my house are mine. But who I am, is not "Amputate Your Head". I'm not a drunk. I don't seek attention. I don't have an attitude with the whole world. I'm not insane or on medication. I'm not a psycho. I don't party all night long. The county does not come and put me in a straitjacket every night so I won't hurt myself. I'm very shy, I don't talk much at all, and I leave the online half behind when I get up from the screen. I have a life. I go shopping at Home Depot like everyone else. I painted my bathroom last weekend. I am able to separate "show" from real world.
Summary: I'm misunderstood in both worlds. Those who know me personally, know what I mean. Those that don't.....
enjoy the show.
