Earlier this year I went on vacation to Florida and the Bahamas.....LOVED IT! But I digress, My eldest brother John posed a very appropriate, interesting yet simple question on the first day I got to Florida...Who the Hell are YOU?! At first I was taken aback by the question...what do you mean who am I. I am your baby brother Jaret....remember! I guess he noticed the questionable look on my face and further explained to me that in his eyes I was a totally differently person from the little kid he used to take swimming or the middle school preteen he took to CVS to get skin care products when puberty was rearing its ugly head or the high school teenager that was in every school activity possible or the collegiate man that had to take care of the family when no one else did while chasing the American Dream. That got me thinking about the evolution of self. Was I really THAT much different that my own brother had to question who I was? Was this a positive or negative thing? Well when I look back and think about it....certain bars from Jennifer Hudson's rendition of "I Am Changing" play in my head. Not to toot my own horn but TOOT TOOT! I have beat so many odds and pressed through so many situations and proved to the world and more importantly to myself that I am more than capable of overcoming any obstacle the God and life put in my path. So I thought to myself, why not disclose a little information to the blog world to allow them to get to know the makings of me.
I am the youngest of my fathers 7 known children, Pops was a Scorpio to the fullest. I am my mothers only child.....you guessed it...the Kid is spoiled and a Mama's Boy (I ain't no punk though). One of Ump-teen grandchildren..but I am always the favorite..Over achiever by nature..Extremely independent...Although I love myself I am learning everyday to love myself even more...Mask my insecurities with an extroverted and opulent personality.....Extreme evil streak....Unstoppable....Loved but never been in love (more like enamored)....Loves to help people...Smart (At least I think so)....emotionally wounded (no self pity)....A little hood and a little bourgeoisie....Literally been an adult since the 6th grade....Will fight to the death for my loved ones...The list goes on. As I embark on this journey you (the reader) and I will learn more about me. I will try to be as honest and open as I know how. I also plan to be touch on the above stated characteristics and events pertaining to me and many more subjects that answer that question my brother asked me.....Just Who the Hell am I?!
