Reintroduction

Hi. I'm Jeremy. I'm 32 years old. I'm a pretty open minded and friendly guy who obsesses over music, among other things, and thinks too much. I'm self conscious to a fault, yet I have no shame when it comes to things like the music I listen to, humor and my childish interests. I was raised Christian, kind of, but have gone back and forth on the whole religion topic -- all I really know is I don't like what I've learned about organized religion because too much of it seems to breed negative ideas or just doesn't make sense. I really like individual people and am lucky enough to count all kinds of them among my friends, but I don't have much faith in the human race -- I know that sounds grim, and there are more grim thoughts and ideas where that came from, but I'm really a positive and hopeful person. I try to be as open as I can and hide as little as possible because it just makes things so much less complicated in the long run. I find it difficult to hate anyone because I keep in mind that, no matter how horrible or different someone might seem, there's absolutely no reason to believe I couldn't be exactly like them if I were born into the life and given the circumstances they were. I'm very easy going and nearly impossible to offend because I don't take anything personally and not much is sacred to me. I try to be a good person by examining my actions from an outside point of view and trying to improve or correct the things I'm not proud of. I care about people and always want to help when something is troubling someone. I have plenty of demons/vices. I've been through and have witnessed a lot of shit, and I often try to use my personal experience to help others. I believe we're all able to do something about the things that make us unhappy if we really want to -- we just have to make the choice and go for it -- so I try not to complain, although it can be extremely hard to make said choices when there are so many possible consequences to consider. Despite all this sappy and/or serious stuff, I still love to indulge in a good meaningless, shameless conversation about things of no importance whatsoever or just being a moron for the fun of it. As some of you have seen in my replies to your journal entries, and as this entry clearly indicates, I often have a lot to say (although it may be of very little interest to anyone but myself), but I also have a tendency to disappear for a few days at a time and then have trouble catching up, which sucks because I hate to miss anything.

Anyway, that's more than enough of that.

I've decided to transfer my photos from the MySpace and Facebook pages I hardly use anymore over to my LJ scrapbook. They're not sorted very well and I've only added a few captions so far, but for anyone who wants to see old and new, sometimes moronic and humiliating photos of myself, friends and various other things, knock yourself out: http://pics.livejournal.com/six_demon_bag/

OK, that's all. Oh, except my glasses have been missing for almost two days -- I have a spare pair, but it's inferior, so wish me luck in finding them.
