Introductions (my first rant)

For the records
write this down
OK forget the catch-phrase, that's never gonna happen. I guess here goes nothing...
I once heard it said that each and every one of us is suffering through the same debilitating mental illness... mortality. Variations of the quote have it ending with the words humanity, sin, emotion, etc. Essentially word choice is important, that quote can inspire, demoralize, confuse, and polarize, sometimes even all of the above. Regardless, I have chosen to focus on the first part of that phrase "each and every one of us" the author of this quote would have us believe that we all are driven by the same thing, that the human condition as its referred to affects us all in the same way, or at least that’s how I took it. Right away I entered a fit of indignation, I was screaming on the inside, how could anyone be so ignorant? Had they not noticed the kids like me sitting in the corner, not interacting, apart, and seemingly entirely isolated? Sure I try to keep up with what’s happening in the world around me, I listen to popular music (Dizzy Gillespie is still popular right?), watch popular television (the second doctor was the best, period), and even watch popular sports at times (F.C. Chelsea all the way). But yeah, it’s pretty safe to say I live under a rock. At least it’s a rock with windows, that is to say I spend five days a week in the penitentiary called high school, where like it or not, I am forced to get my daily dose of social interaction. Each day my peers seem to interact without fear or trepidation whilst I struggle agonize in my attempt to connect. But aside from my many (currently unimportant) qualms with our education system I don’t dread it anymore. If nothing else I have become a master at listening and observing. One of the things that I noticed right away is that if you are willing to shut up and listen, which comes very naturally to me, people will pour their souls out to you. And do you know what? That quote isn’t wrong, while not everyone is as socially awkward as me and certainly very few get frustrated as quickly as I, one thing is sure… everyone feels incomplete. And while people still don’t make sense to me I have been able to wrap my head around one thing.
No matter who you are, what groups you claim membership of, where your allegiance lies, or how you view religion/ politics/ insert controversial issue here; each of us has a void, a flaw, a missing piece if you will. And so without further ado I would like to pose a question, THE question that I hope will get us all started off on the right foot. Please answer as you feel comfortable in the forum section under introductions and be honest.
Who am I and what makes me unique? And: What do I feel I am missing? (I know it is two questions, but it’s my blog I don’t have to play fair)
