OK, so I'm going to try this again, and see if I can put something here interesting and worth reading. No promises.

In trying to find something profound in my life, I find that I am slipping into a life that I have both wanted and feared. I am a regular guy. I have a wife, two kids, a nice house and a couple of cars. I have a few good friends, a few acquaintences and the people I work with. I don't have a dog anymore, but to be honest sometimes I'd like to have one again.

I used to fear and dread being 'like everyone else'. I still do things that make me unique, as we all do. I shave my head, I do martial arts and I love cigars. Alone these things are not really unique, but the combination isn't one I've seen yet. But the point isn't to be unique, it's just to be me. I have had a hard time (and I'm still working on it) accepting that a lot of me actually is just a regular guy, and that's OK.
