I have had friends from all walks of life and different backgrounds. I help people when they ask me for help.

I never got into serious trouble as a kid, was a good student, teachers liked me and employers like my work product.

Some caveats:
1) if you've seen a lot, you can figure out, collectively, who and what you want to avoid so, no, I don't "love everybody" - stereotyping can work wonders
2) I'll laugh at and/or tell dirty or ethnic jokes
3) if you trespass, and it was unilateral, I will try to try to set you straight on it, given the opportunity...."whistle blowing" and vindictiveness are separate concepts

I love when people try so hard to convince themselves, heh

I was told that if dogs are attracted to you, it means you are a good person.

Not sure if that is true though....

I did find a wallet once in a WalMart parking lot, went inside and gave it to the manager without even looking through it. Guess that makes me a half-decent person.

I don't know if I would call myself a good person I do try to do the right thing & make good moral choices. I'll admit I'm far from perfect but so far at this point in my life I can still look at myself in the mirror. At least for the most part.

Hey, dude, I score on both points.

Children - on three separate occasions, I was standing next to single moms in line somewhere, and their 2 year olds tried to climb over onto my arms/shoulders. I must have represented a father-figure they didn't have.

Dogs - was on vacation in Lisbon, and a hound/terrier street dog followed me for over a mile on the waterfront. Then again, I had just bought a tasty sub and had given the dog a piece of it.

I used to think I was a good guy, a nice guy.

I think I can be good, I can ne nice, decent.

I see more flaws with myself now, now that I'm not a fresh faced 22 yr old.

I wanna be a good man....

Sometimes I don't know if I make the mark or not.

I'll keep trying.......
