Brian's Autobiography




I don't like to brag, honestly.  I have to say "honestly" because I am infamous of being a liar, a good one, of course.  I tend to be more of a modest character unless spurred on to boast about myself.  A negative aspect of my personality is that I tend to act a certain way in order to keep myself hidden from other peoples' judgment.  I do things so people can't make assumptions by looking at me.  An example of this would be one of my "good" attributes, my modesty.  I like to think of modesty as both a good thing and a bad thing.  It is good in a way to which it makes you seem like a kind person, yet I enjoy using my modesty to keep aspects about myself unknown.  It makes it hard for people to assume what I am good at and what I suck at.  I enjoy this.  It leaves a big question mark above my head in other people's eyes.

People would probably think my ability to lie without guilt would be a negative trait to have but I think it is a good skill to have.  Lying has gotten me out of a bunch of bad situations.  Sometimes I find it funny to tell someone a lie about myself and see how they react.  Then next week I would tell them the truth and see the reaction on their face.  People tell me I’m fun to hang out with.  I try to spend all the time I can to have fun.  Honestly, school is probably one of my last priorities.  I try my best to stay away from school as much as possible.  I guess you can call me a slacker.  I’m a slacker but an unusual one.  I do whatever I can to help my family, friends and strangers.  When I have change in my pocket I usually give it to a homeless guy.  I’m an atheist too, so you know now that I’m kind at heart and not trying to ensure my path to heaven.  Sometimes I think people such as Christians are all living in fear.  They fear they will go to hell if they don’t act in a “good” manner.  I find some of those people to be sheltered and unexposed to the real world.  I see that some Christians only do what they do because they fear God and Hell.  I don’t fear anything.

A lot of people call me stupid, and I’m fine with it.  It comes to the point where enough people call you a name to where you have no reaction anymore.  Like if you eat 100 apples and don’t feel like eating it anymore.  I think the physical part of myself makes me useful.  I have no known allergies, no surgery, perfect hearing, and 22/20 vision; perfect for the military.  Specifically the Air force.
