    A man that is borne of a woman has but a very short time to live,
    He comes up like a foresail top-mast, and down like a small flying jib.

    I might not be a foresail topmast, but I’m certainly no small flying jib.

    Sounds like an idylic lifestyle! Ages 2 and 3.5 yrs is a good time with kids. They are cute and relatively easy to manage. As they will quickly grow up this time will pass. You will suddenly realise that golden time is gone and you will be left with demanding, but non-communicative teenagers who have a spectacular ability to empty your wallet (but I wouldn’t have it any other way :wink:)

    Enjoy it why it lasts.

    Live for the day!

    Cut me in half and im full of bikes, motorbikes and diving. I need to be outside to be happy. I need to be almost scared to be excited. I dont like to follow.

    Hmm, inertesting one…

    I believe I am defined, to some extent, by the people around me. Who I am, to them. The people close to me are a pretty varied bunch, from all sorts of walks of life. But all are genuinely decent, honest, caring people. Patience and a sense of humour are probbly handy qualities to have around me, tbh.

    So, I spose I’m shaped and influenced by them, as others are, by me.

    I think the key is, to see yourself as you would like to have others see you. and to continually strive to be the sort of person they can love, and feel happy around. Pretty much an on-going process of constant adjustment and evolution, I’d say. And you’ll never get it ‘right’, you can only hope to eliminate most of the negative issues, and concentrate on enhancing the positive ones.

    Overall, I’d define myself as a ‘happy’ person, if I’m forced to use just one word.

    I spose overall, I’m more of a ‘thinker’ than a ‘do-er’. If more people did what I think, then maybe my own little world would be more perfect.

    i could re-fit the batteries if:

    A) I knew the thermostat had batteries
    B) I knew he’d taken them

    And I wouldn’t need to if he wasn’t so much of a tight fisted fuc* as to take the batteries out in the fist place, just to save on the gas bill (which it doesn’t as once we found the batteries were missing we just turned the heating on until the house was warm again).

    In the past people defined themselves by the musical trend (for want of a better word) or fashion they followed
    I’m a punk
    I’m a teddyboy
    I’m a mod

    Don’t get that anymore do you. I wonder if there ever will be a genre to define yourself by again.

    I’m a leftfieldraphiphopelectrodubstepindieexperimentalpunk btw.

    I am very fortunate.

    Best not to stop and wallow in the “who am I?” question too much. That way lies relgious nuttiness.

    Too frightening for you to contemplate, Stoner?

    Avocado; I notice you have nowt inertesting to say yourself, but I don’t mind you quoting me, if it makes you feel better.

    Not at all.

    I meant philosophically for anyone. An intense introspection is rarely a good thing IMO.

    No, not at all. That way lies understanding 🙂 If you work at it enough, that is.

    I am a dad, a husband, a provider, a self employed worker and a bike rider – in that order. Not so long ago I was a selfish, self centred bike rider. I am a better person.

    Plenty of folks seem to have a concise self definition, well done.

    RudeBoy seems to understand the question well, thinking indeed.

    Stoner, quite right, religious nuttiness to be avoided.

    I used to like to tell myself that there was “an army of me”.

    Usually, I’m a father, a husband and a son. What I do a living, how I spend my spare time and who I’d like to sh@g is irrelevant. What matters is my family, their well-being, their future. And their present.
    I ride a pushbike, I fiddle and play with it, I spend my savings on it.
    I ride a motorcycle at times. I will get better but won’t take any chances.
    I drive a car. A lot, rarely alone, usually with my girls or friends. So they can be comfortable.
    I love being active and find sitting patiently very hard. But my sprog is ill at the moment, poor little one. Suddnely everything takes a back seat, nothing matters, just the little girl. When she recovers completely I’ll take har to the sea, for now though I am just a dad. And nothing more.

    Until a year or so ago, I defined myself by the sport I did, and the races I won. I have always lived to work rather than the other way round (do many on here live to work? the only obvious possibility I can think of is WCA). Am now gradually turning into sporty daddy.

    Not sure how well I’d cope with being a full time parent – right now it’s only 1 day a week (plus weekends!), and whilst 2 days a week would be better, I’m not quite sure about 5. However it could be a huge amount worse – plenty of groups you can join, places to hang out and meet other adults, even if they’re also just parents. I find it possible to strike up a conversation with total strangers (women!) at the playground, as a bloke with a little child is totally non-threatening. It might not be very much like flirting, but I still enjoy just interacting with the opposite sex. If you go to something like Tumble Tots (don’t know if they have that over there), or a music group, you’ll doubtless get lots of attention as the only male IME!

    I’m someone that can’t answer this question for many reasons, mainly based around my own self definition, compared to others, compared to my own, leading to an infinte loop that encapsulates almost everything.
