Who am I to you?
Life is pretty interesting at the moment. Currently on a bit of an adventure, living it up as a traveling worker, but also debriefing after a year of learning experiences.
After a year of rules and curfews, life is a bit freer and have been living it up and taking in a lot of movies. Just last night I went and saw batman begins again. I first of want to say, best comic book film ever, except for the editing of the fight scenes which is some of the worst, but there was a line that really stuck out from it.
I'm currently going through one of those, "Who am I?" moments. Life is changing, people walking in and out of my life and really unsettled. So to try and settle, I’ve started to really thinking about myself and what makes up me (yeah very self-centred huh)
Anyways back to batman, there’s a recurring line (excuse paraphrasing), It's not what you think that defines who u are, but what you do!
And well I've been really thinking about this. We are told, well kind of, from an early age, the great old, 'I think therefore I am' about the fact that our thoughts define us, but how can people be defined if no one experiences these thoughts. I know people would just get into the whole argument about not worrying about people's opinions. But well I believe if you take enough opinions you have a great chance of actually defining the truth.
So my plan is this, I want to know who I am. The outcome of this won't define me, but I am really interested in how people perceive me. I'm interested in what makes up 'me' to others. (And all those who going to blow the 'I don't have to impress or worry about what others think of me' line, please jump, it’s far from that, just interested in honest truth about myself. Oh and no compliment fishing either)
See I'm interested in a lot of feedback, be it from anyone, that would have any idea about me, from meeting me in person, to just reading my blog.
The trick is, please, I say please be honest. If you can't comment publicly on this blog, feel free to email, ryhawk@hotmail.com, but I really want some honest feedback and will take everything constructively, to the best of my abilities.

feeling the comment love this time

well, I think I have and do say straight to you how I percieve you already...so not sure what else to say that I haven't....
....but at least now you have a comment on your blog :P
From what I've perceived from you, Mr. Atkins, you are one who tries to seek out what someone needs/wants and then do whatever it takes to give it to them or get it for them.
You are also considerate in the way that you always make sure that people are okay. You never (to my experience at least) plow through with your own motives.
Blessings
...nothing to say, Matt?
Well Matt, I haven't got to know you very well personally, but my first visual impression was of a guy in a toque hunched over the sound board at 614 running the powerpoint. Since then I have been inpressed with your honesty and integrity in your relationships with others. I know you'll be missed by many when you head down under, but hope to see you in T.O. again.
