Getting myself to cook. I'm good enough to impress dates but when I'm on my own I will literally wait until I'm hangry enough to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar and call it a balanced part of this good breakfast. 

Counting in my head. Had a job once where I had to box up some products - 100 per box - and I regularly had to empty it out and start over because I'd realize I got flipped around. 

Cleaning my car. Clean room? Check. Clean kitchen? Check. Car? Pure frontal lobe disaster. It's like my ADHD has set up a Maginot line and is defending it to the last man. 

Maintaining good posture on the drums at gigs. In the practice room I am aligned with gravity. A zen monk who's spine is stacked like a rock cairn, perfectly balanced and flowing like water. But the second a crowd gets me hype or a jam gets hyped up I transform into a rock n' roll gremlin and hunch over like fucking Smeagol from lord of the rings. 

Taking that last one into consideration: my upper back health lol.

I learned a long time ago...it's not the content.....it's the poster.   Me.       There is a band of emotionally stunted crybabies who follow me around and downvote pretty much everything I post.      Good, bad, funny, factual....it doesn't matter.

I actually look at it as a bonus.... 🤣

I've noticed this a lot and have been baffled by it. There have been threads where people (sometimes me) who said basically the same thing as you have up votes but you've got a bunch of down votes. It's bizarre.

I get some of it....being very opinionated and a smart ass is bound to ruffle some feathers.   Just like the "real" world, some people get you, some don't.    I don't lose any sleep over it.  

  ...but the positive/nice/factual posts getting downvoted is just hilarious.   Pretty easy to spot who they are.....       I have to admit, I take a bit of joy that I've affected these weenies so deeply.   🤣    Could that be considered a weakness?  😁

Strengths:

1) I have a very good memory.  I don't think I'd call it "photographic"...but...I can memorize paragraphs with only reading them 2 or three times, and then remember them for decades. 

2) Go-Karts...every time I've been to any go-kart racing place...I'm always the fastest person in the building, and usually posting the fastest time of the day/week. (I don't know who those dudes are with the fastest times ever....they've never been there with me before).  The young kids always laugh when a bald 44 year old smokes them...

3) I'm not judgmental...you do you...as long as you treat me with respect, we are good. 

 

Weaknesses: 

1) I'm kind of selfish...

2) I'm a very impatient driver...I'm getting better with age.  

3) I'm a homebody...I'm not adventurous in the sense that I want to travel the world.  I'm perfectly content right here in my own bubble.
