I feel inclined to come out and tell my fellow board members who I really am... well, you won't get my REAL name... but I will tell you who I am...
Breif History: Grew up in NW Indiana, was a track athlete (also Baskball, football), went to Indiana University as a High Jumper... trained for the 1995 nationals and attempted to compete for the Olympic tryouts by placing (unsuccessfully).
I attended DePaul University School of Law in Chicago from 1998-2001... passed the IL bar in July of 2001. and started working my first REAL job in February of 2002... where upon, I quit in June of 2002... shortly thereafter, the engagement to the only love of my life collapsed, horribly... I moved to California and have done part time to full time legal work for an SEC Arbitration specialist ever since....
But who AM I really? If you were to meet me in person... I'd probably not have a smile on my face... unless you talked to me... then I'd most likely be all grins... as I love to joke around and laugh.
I'm basically a laid back cat... easy going and very down to earth. I dislike people who are full of themselves (unlike my sometimes portrayal on the board) and am very disliking of those who are materialistic, inconsiderate, thoughtless, unintelligent and irrational.
I prefer to talk than to fight... I prefer to laugh than to frown.
In my LIFE... before EF, I have met 6 people who I feel that I could lay everything down for... people I would trust with everything I am and stand for.... THROUGH EF... I have met THREE people... who I would go to bat for... who I would fight for... I'd straight up die for these brothas....
In my LIFE... my friends Jason, Hani, Mike, Matt, Soup, and Shawn... have all had my back... and I would gladly die for any of them... without a second thought...
Through EF... Clint, Kronk and Rich... you guys have ment the world to me... you have gone beyond what it takes to be an accquaintence... I truly label you not as friends... but as brothers... I would give my arm... my leg... I would lay down in traffic for you... You truly exemplify what true friendship and brotherhood is... and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart....
I (Citruscide) has a big heart... a giving one... not to be mistaken with a naive or foolish heart... I give where I see it is deserving... at times, I may be hard on others... but I am always the hardest on myself...
Citruscide has, on the board, come across very bitterly toward women... It doesn't hit far from the mark... I have my ghosts... but I do believe that there are good women out there... I am evidenced this by talking with Kronkette, PhatChck, Raina and others who have sent me PM's... wishing me the best. While I cannot apologize for my viewpoints... I can say this... for all the unjust feelings that I have trounced, for all the negative comments directed to the wrong women....I do apologize...
My life is happy... i have my health, I have my friends.. I have a number of brothers whom I trust with my life... I have a loving family and a brilliant education... I have every opportunity to reach out and take full advantage of life... and for that, I can do nothing but thank God.....
You may be asking what sparked this... it is a compliation of things actually ... for one, I have the perception that many on EF have the wrong opinion of WHO I am... what things I stand for... and for reasons or actions... have drawn conclusions otherwise.... I hold no ill will toward ANY member of EF... not anymore... SECONDLY... reading the story of Jaqui... posted in the sticky, made me realize how precious life really is... it redirected my purpose... to actually LIVE my life... rather than not applying the great gifts I have been handed....
Thank you for your TIME Ef... you are a family away from home.
