Rant: I believe stereotypes are indicative of the human condition in our culture and are usually proliferated by uninformed or misinformed people. I don't fit into any boxes and I don't try to put other people in them.

Case in point; If my shirtless pic's offend you, that's your predisposition, not my choice. Seems like narrow minded thinking often accompanies a lofty opinion of one's ability to judge character based on little or no information. Maybe the individual judging is not as perceptive as they're inclined to think. Maybe the arrogance perceived is closer to home than they realize. I only mention this because I see negative remarks on many profiles about other people's pictures.

Should my backwoods tendencies offend to ya, you can look the other way...or kiss my rebel ***. I mean that in the nicest possible way. Choosing to judge a person based upon a stereotypical ideal or preconceived notion we embrace only imposes limitations on the quality of our own life experience. If you think you know me because you saw a few pictures, think again. End of rant.

Final thought; Creative and passionate people are often found disagreeable and/or intimidating by mediocrities.
