Who are you?
What does this question mean to you? Do you answer with a name? Do you answer with a belief? I am Mike. I am athiest. I am a bassist, lyricist, and a thinker. I am all of these, and my personal beliefs and traits have so much more of an impact on who I am than my birth given name. Yet I answer with the name, Mike. I am Mike. Not I am Mike, the athiest bassist. I am Mike. The bassist, the athiest, the thinker, the believer, the hater, the lover, the friend. The inaudible sigh. The relief that noone hears or sees. Who are you?
Buffalo. What other animal in this world travels in herds so tightly woven, so dependant on what the buffalo in front of them do, that they will follow eachother off a cliff, effectively eradicating almost an entire herd? Humans. Humans herd together, and we follow eachother off of our own cliffs. Cliffs that we can't even see, because we're so far up the person's *** in front of us that we can't even see that we're going straight for a cliff. Metaphorically speaking, we're all headed for one cliff or another. Not very many people desire to walk off a cliff, it happens suddenly. Sometimes the person who's head is up your *** knocks you off before you get a chance to turn around and break away from the herd.
If you're lucky, you got put on the outer edges of the herd. You get to see what is happening, from a 3rd person perspective, and you decide not to follow the herd. You go off on your own, sometimes you're able to fend for yourself, sometimes you're still eaten. At least you weren't part of the herd.
The whole human race is one big herd, and there are the few of us who broke off from the herd, who see this happening and are way too weak to stop an entire stampede

I am a mother, my name happens to be stacy, i was not always a mother, before that i was an adventurer and a tryer. I always will be a learner. in a few years, I'll be a traveler, but for right now I'm a mother.
and I'm definitely a herd straggler.

I am a Christian, a child of God, and when I am called to heaven, I shall be given a new name different from my earthly name. Praise the Lord!

I'm ME and proud of it. Who "ME" is has been defined by many influences in my life and lots of trial and error. I'm a Husband, and a StepFather, a Lover and a Friend. I am who I want to be, not what others tell me to be.

so, what, you are saying you're a loner buffalo? Did you bang your head against hard objects a lot when you were a child?

Nice analogy, not really much of a question though...but still pretty accurate.

I'm a white russian. I have kahlua, half and half, and (most importantly) vodka.
Buffalo burgers are tasty.
