Simon...I rode my bike into a caddilac going 45mph, and managed to fly. But was in a coma for three days, so dont remember the flight.

I'm to much the "rogue".........don't like appointments, schedules etc.
Don't like to be "required" to do anything.
Don't like authority.
Don't like to ask for help.

but,
I mostly live by " I'll do anything you ask, and, nothing you demand"

there's so little of me because I become what you want. That's why It sucks to be me.

What sucks about me is I have zero to barely no talent in....anything?

I bartend for a living and I'd say I have probably more actual liquor and bartending knowledge than most, but really can't put it together to be a great bartender because I ...suck.

Another thing that sucks about me is I have zero self confidence, even when I know I should. I let people walk over me at home and at the bar, I let people take advantage of me money wise, and I generally am non confrontational to the point of being yellow.

Another thing that kinda sucks, but may also be my greatest strength....

I'm ULTRA SENSITIVE! Almost to the point of abnormality. I can cry on any tear jerking movie.......any touching story.......or any chunky baby in a michelin tire commercial. It has been that way since I was little, and now that I am 31 nothing has changed. *I have cried reading e playa at least 3 or 4 times. I reckon I'll be crying at burning man many times. Not because I will be sad......but because I just know I'll be crying.*

I hope it's not weird to hope in some way my first burning man, and all the magic that will take place there, will help me find who I really am, and make me appreciate myself, because I know even after all my suckyness......I have a very bright silver lining that I wish I could let more people see.

That kinda felt good to let out. Thanks!

Body/facial morphing issues... Sometimes I think I look good and I am so fucking wrong, other times think I am unnattractive or uglyish and I am wrong.

Can't truly see my physical self in the mirror

Believe me it's not weird. Just don't try too hard and naturally release yourself there... and you will find more about yourself than you ever even wanted to know...

Oh and be sure to go with the right people or even better a theme camp with a bunch of strangers you will meet when u get there and a small amount of ur friends or just yourself! That is, go with open-minded people who will not judgingly manipulate you, cause believe me, those types are a microscopic minority there!

Extremely broad but not extremely deep. And sucky when it comes to numbers!

Lucidvegas · Post by **Lucidvegas** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:20 am

Thanks skt. I plan on going with a group of friends. I was thinking about looking into a theme camp, but I think we are just going to attempt to do out own thing this year. There is anywhere from 4-10 of us....most likely 4 all week, with 4 others coming thursday + .

Anyways.....the logistics involved in just us getting there I think are going to be enough to keep me busy. SO I think we are just going to try to do one of our own small theme camps instead of joining a bigger one.

I'll be keeping an eye on the activity levels of people in Vegas and maybe down the road I can maybe hook up with some of them. Dunno yet, thanks for the advice though.

And as for the playa......I heard a saying once, forgive me I forget from who said....."PLan your burn, then burn your plan."

I understand what it means to let the experience take you over, and not to try TOO hard to look for things, but instead let things find YOU. I plan to do that.........and I cannot wait.

As I told to a friend last night, "This is going to be the best thing I've ever done in my life." Not setting my hopes too high.....I just know it will be. I had a very profound life experience at 'High Sierra Music' festival, thanks in part by some people who are burners from San Fran. I fell in love.

I can't wait........!!!!

P.S. Skt - thanks handsome~!

Sounds like you will be good to go... The biggest mistake I have ever made that affected my experience was worrying about or being too involved in other peoples experience (at the burn) and vice versa. This last year (my 4th) I had a bunch of virgin friends of mine come, and I kinda felt I was often tour guiding, which is totally mine own fault for doing, they were always worried about "losing each other" or "where's matt, wait where's rose?" They got lost cause they were distracted by fun! Also too much planning and effort to see the "big acts" that play down there. The golden experiences of burning man are essentially the random encounters, events, and communications that you constantly run into on your road to nowhere while simultaneously everywhere!

Lose YOUR-SELF, and you will rediscover yourself in ways of convoluted understanding...coming soon to a playa near you!

p.s. "plan your burn, then burn your plan" is genious

Lucidvegas · Post by **Lucidvegas** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:18 am

Skt - a little tour guiding might not hurt a Virgin :) I heard people call them sherpas?

As of now I'm going out with no one who has been. Maybe you can stop by and take me for a spin on the playa to show me some stuff. I'll be out there all week. I wouldn't mind to know someone out there who knows wassup, even if it was just for a few hours or so :)

im afraid that explains as to why your situation sucks, but does nothing to explain why it sucks to be you.

Common Peep Holes! I actually like this thread lets see...

I speak my mind too much. Sometimes I hurt peoples feelings, but I try to be constantly truthful. Perhaps I should be more considerate...

Talent comes from learning the skills to use it.

Challenge yourself in some new ways.
Learn public speaking.
If you think that's funny, well, anyone can climb a mountain.

And get your endocrine levels checked.
Not a joke.
Pituitary issues can change the normal you into someone else.

As for other things, people can change.
As far as any fear of putting yourself out there, the trick is not to care.

Are you referring to what sucks about you?

I tend to speak my mind without sensitivity to who is in audience.
I got skunked in golf today,,,, so I suck at golf,,,, and most other competitive sports. I suck at being a "team player", I'm usually the instigator and shit-stirrer in charge.
If I don't want to answer my phone,,,, I don't,,,, and I may not return your call for days.
I suck at saving money and am a soft touch for beggars.
I'm not a good brother to my siblings, but I'm a good son (Mommy always liked me best)
I suck at picking up after myself, but know where everything is.
I suck at keeping decorum and usually end up being the equal opportunity offender. and the list goes on,,,,,,,

I do the opposite- I have my birgins guide me. I'm going to take them to places I already know, they're going to take us places neither of us do. The unexpected is half the adventure.
