I started an “About Me”, and it got weird…

“The reason why people don’t want to hear the truth about them is because they are afraid that their illusions about themselves might be destroyed.”
― Unknown 

I am a dynamic figure, often seen lifting heavy things. I have been known to remodel quantum theory on my lunch breaks, being very careful not to ever divide by Zero. I write award-winning (if I wanted to let people see it) screenplays, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for two days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike bantering skills, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Muffins in twenty minutes. I am an expert in accounting, a journeyman in love, and a novice in badminton.

Using only a shovel and a large bottle of diesel, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Kalahari from a horde of ferocious red ants. When I’m bored, I recite all the world’s alphabets backwards, in alphabetical order. On Wednesdays, after work, I fight crime with by trusty sidekick, MediocreDog.

I am an abstract analyst, a concrete artist, and a post-modern visionary . Critics worldwide are enthralled by my sheer humility. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number ninety nine and have won the lottery six times, usually just before I wake up. Children trust me.

I can hurl squash rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for ***** [Censored]. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Turkey, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me all the time.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact Feng Shui. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but I lost the Post-It I wrote it down on, and I have spoken with Elvis.
