Whats up with assumptions?

Because I'm such a stud-muffin of a man I must always have chicks hanging all over me.

Rumor has it that the only reason you don't have women haging all over you is because your wife follows you around with a sign that says "Leave him alone - he's mine" - whilst also packing heat.

Just because I'm a "computer geek" I obviously want to explain to you how to configure your PC with dual motherboards each with quad core processors and 2 (ea) video cards soyou can have the most awesome video gaming system with 4 flat panel monitors.

First off, most of these folks know more about these configurations than I do and secondly, I don't care to even think about stuff like that in my spare time and because of that I wouldn't do it for you without charging you an arm & a leg.

Heck, I was assuming you were Obama loving Korean too at first. Now I know you are Obama loving Russian.




Born in Singapore, raised in Indonesia and Japan, educated in Boulder, could barely speak any of them.

Just because I admit to being a retired RAILROADER, it should not be assumed that I am a former LEO or Lawyer.

Hey, I am certainly not meaning anything against our LEO folks and no, I did NOT drive trains.

And just because I retired 19 years ago, does not mean that I am really that OLD!!

Hey, my dad's retired friend at age 76 says he's not that old... compared to the age of the earth!

Got another one the other day- just because I drive a BMW this guy assumed I was rich and had plenty of money to spare... look inside my fridge right now- I have butter, almost empty 1/2 gallon of milk, 2 coors lights, and a jug of kool-aid. Total cost: about $6.00

People assume that since I'm sleeved with tattoos that I'm either a dirt bag, a crazy liberal, or a drinker and partier...

Not a maniacal biker? Not a rockstar?
I know the feeling, I don't have sleeves but I do have a big tat on my inner forearm and I've gotten a few shady looks from customers when they come in the office... then they notice my big 10th Mountain Division decor on my desk (I'll post a pic sometime soon) and ask "oh, did you serve?" Changes their opinion quick!

I get the musician one a lot, which is fair, because I was in quite a few of the bigger Denver hardcore/metal bands. That life is way behind me now though...

One thing that I really REALLY dislike:

When people ask what I do, I respond that I'm a student instructor at a kung fu school. I absolutely hate the inevitable "OOOO you're a kung fu master! WAAAAAAA!" (bruce lee noise and moving their hands in a chopping motion.)
or "OOOO a karate guy!"

It irks me because do people honestly think that something I would dedicate my LIFE to, is deserving of a stupid joke like that? They have NO idea what I've gone through to get where I am. I see 1000's of people come and go, and there are very few that stick with it longer than a couple years, let alone to get to the level of 'teacher'. The number drastically drops the higher up you go and the more time you are around.

And NO, this ain't no F'n karate or tkd class.

I stopped going to college and joined the Army because I must be too dumb to get a degree and function in society
