About Me:
Many men say that they are the "nice guys"; the poor
downtrodden nice guys. Woe is me.
I don't buy it. My idea of nice guys is that they aren't
nice so much as they are passive or passive-aggressive.
While saving up all that resentment, ignoring your
feelings, and generally being manipulative as hell, why is
it any wonder that you're not getting what you want?
I used to play this game too. Eventually I started
realizing that it was all wrong. I was determined to
become assertive and to stop being the so-called "nice
guy." I have made it. This isn't to say I'm selfish, no,
if anything I'm less selfish now as that passiveness is
extremely manipulative. Those close to me know how I'm
feeling and what I want, whether it's good or bad, without
confusing a situation, person, or thing for a feeling.
This change was catalyzed by the following two
realizations: 1. No one can read anyone's mind. 2. One
cannot change another person. If that person is to change
in any way, they have to want to make the change for
themselves.
That said, I'm confident in saying I'm an emotionally
grounded man who communicates well on an intimate level,
who is honest, open, trustworthy, and not afraid of any
level of commitment (or even lack thereof). Given a well-
defined scope, I'm down to try anything.

high school. So nerdy that we had to
resort to BBSing (anyone remember
BBSing?) to meet people through our
computers. Oh, wait. Henry will
listen to you and pay close
attention. In fact, don't tell him
anything that you'd rather he ignore
or forget because he will do neither.
Not in that creepy and petty point-
tallying sort of way, but in that "I
pay attention to my friends because I
like them" sort of way.
I will testify before this court--and
God!--that Henry has without a shadow
of a doubt never used your god's name
in vain, and that he has never once
stood before your wretched stinking god
and denounced your putrid, rotten,
assymmetric religion.
Henry is too good for that goddamnit!

jk). If you ever want the juice on
him from childhood, just talk to me!

reading his site, he is a pretty clever
