What do you identify yourself most with: race, nationality, religion,...

Libertarian.

Penis length.

Us 4-inchers need to stick together.

Has anyone noticed that using the word (and especially derivations thereof) "douchebag" is a great indicator that one is such?

Race

It's been a number of years since I was very competetive but I still identify myself with the 1500m.

I guess I would have to say class. I have been going to private schools for 10+ years. How can I avoid being most strongly aligned with those of a similar social class. I can't think of many friends of mine who aren't private school educated. Its just the way I was raised.

You left out your greatest trait, the one that most of us immediately associate with you,....why your humility of course!

Religion - I'm a Christian

(Yes I know this is an old post..)

Flagpole, I too, have at least semi-decent piano skills, and always like to meet others who do too, because very few people do. Do you have a youtube channel or something where we can see you play?

thanks.

In other words, what is it that defines you? Or are you someone who refuses to be categorized?

This is somewhat complicated for me.

My dad's family is from Norway of Saami heritage and my mom is from Columbia. I am very fair skinned and people would assume that I am white though I acknowledge that I am mixed and I am proud of all my heritages. I grew up in the US and hold a US passport but I live in Canada now. I am an extreme leftist (anaracho-socialist tendencies with a leaning towards being indigenist) and Obama was the first member of a mainstream party that I have ever voted for and I may do it again. I really identify with my home area, being the Oakland/San Francisco area though I don't live there now. I am straight and married, 34, employed in social services, and I guess I am middle class but given that my wife and I have kids we worry about money a lot. I ran in university, and love running to this day (I just ran 12 miles after putting the kids to bed) and would consider running to be more of a religion to me than any of the religions of the book. I have participated in a lot of aboriginal religious/spiritual practice and that is more in line with what I believe though I often tell Christians that I am an atheist because I don't want to get into defending my beliefs with them. I also love baseball a great deal and honestly, if I was good enough to have played it in university I likely would have.

Dake gosei Nikkei-jin desu.

I'm just a guy who's here on earth. I identify as an importantly pointless entity. I don't really do anything. I mostly get by on doing as little as possible while maintaining as comfortable a lifestyle as I can. I suppose someone could get mad at me about this, but it's not like I asked to be here. And if I committed suicide then I would hurt people so I guess I'm stuck here for a while, for no particular reason. I like running.

My sexuality, I guess? I'm a young gay male.

I suppose my love of the outdoors, particularly mountains. There's really nothing else in the world that comes close to holding the same level of interest and importance for me, and most of what I do somehow supports my habit of getting to the hills.

Nope; no VIDEO. Used to have stuff up when I was in a couple of different bands here in town, but that's all gone. Way back in the 90s, I posted some solo stuff under the pseudonym Stiggur McFredson, and that can be found here:

It was just me improvising, and everything was one-take stuff (if two instruments, I obviously had to lay down the second track, but it was all in one take with no editing or special anything).

This was also done on a very inferior keyboard (it says I used a Roland Juno-D for those songs, but that's not correct; it was a Yamaha YPR-30 as a controller using midi voices on my computer. I now have a much better keyboard (Roland Juno-D), and I'm a better player today than I was when I recorded that stuff. It's also not indicative of the type of stuff I play these days. The song there called "Surface Area" for example is piano with Shakuhachi played over it. These days I play lots of B3 organ and older blues piano type stuff along with lots of rock type keyboard.

I would LIKE to get a Nord Electro 3 though. Those Nords are awesome. One day.

Race- the 5k in particular.

After that it would be my nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, and computer hacking skills.

Is it still the same, four years later?

Certainly not religion. I'm atheist.

Certainly not race. I'm White and grew up in a White environment, so being White is hardly distinction, one way or the other.

Natrionalirty. Well. I'm half Italian, and I'm pretty proud of that, especially in the WASP world I've usually been in.

Runner, viking, inclusive; but hater of of white supremacists
