I am Jason. Nice to meet you. : ) This is my friend Matthew (right) and I.

If there is one thing I should say about myself, it's that I often find myself saying cognitively, "Nope, I'm not that kind of gay..."

:)

Sometimes a nice night in with friends is all you need.

“Where there is love, there is life,” Mahatma Gandhi said. I know because it’s branded on a silver-shaped heart given to me as a graduation gift by someone who I will never see again. The realization that people have always played a supporting role in my life does not eradicate my acceptance of them exiting. Their limited propinquity has made me stronger, or some have ignorantly argued. What it has given me is the ability to morph.

After crossing so many heads and cognitively mapping their workings (desires and functionality), I have developed many masks to counterplay. We all have a small collection, yes. My collection is just higher in numbers. Don’t be upset. I am sure there are plenty of things at which you would be considered an exemplar, and you are more than willing to tell me. For me, though, meeting so many people (mask constructing) has given me two things. Before I press, though, I should mention that there are a few things I can proclaim with certainty, so allow me to boast about them. I know I am a social chameleon, but that is not what I am here to tell you. Being a social chameleon has given me the manipulation utensils to advance myself. The cost is the second thing I know, as most chameleons (social science scholars have learned), I have lost who I am and am unable to return to my original state because I have worn too many masks to remember which one is authentic.

So, I have told you the two things I know. I might be useless to you now. But if you decide to continue with my blog, be warned: I have already told you what I know.
