The Me That Is Actually there are two me's, one of which is the me that is, the other is the me that was and will be. The latter is my past and my future. Since I'm too young to have much of a past, and old enough to know that I can't predict my future, I shall speak of the me that is. I am me. I guess the me that is, is pretty average, if anyone can be so called. I have idiosyncrasies that would be con- sidered just that by most of the people, and faults that would amuse some of the people, and theories and ideas that would shock a few of the people. I consider baseball the ideal way to go pleasantly batty, if one is so inclined. I am so inclined. When the Braves saddle a kill or dispatch a clincher into the bleachers, I lose my inhibitions somewhere along the line, and really stomp up a storm, so to speak. Often I wonder whether the me that is at the ball park shouldn't be less prone to such vociferous praise of the pitcher with the spitter. But its fun! The tension the thrills the beauty of the ball game give me a feeling of being almost complete So why shouldn t the me that IS give a yell once in awhile? I also love writing Cwhen Im 1n the moodj singing books foggy nights rainy days school arguments the thought of going to college planes sports and every once in a while there come into my life boys who get boring after a few weeks They Just dont know how to think' I maintain lndlfference to vanilla ice cream dancing horses alligator shoes and blonde members of the mascu line element They Just dont phase me I absolutely abhor to the point of whatever point one usually abhors to Communists Democrats Socialists and kQQasllf ' A Labor Unions. I can be very hard to get along with on some of these points. I have any number of moods, all of which I am pro- ficient in portraying. I can be happy, grim, sad, and downright miserable depending on the occasion, the de- mands of society, or what side of the bed I got up on. That pretty much covers the me that is. Like I said, I'm pretty average. Most likely, I'll leave the world with- out pomp and join the earth's alumni in the hereafter without causing much of a stir. But, when I get there, I'll be able to look back and say that I had an awful lot of fun being me, even considering the times when everything seemed just a little bit out of focus with happiness.
