MegaManiac Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Greetings & Salutations fellow MANIACS :hihi:Live, love, learn & prosper! I will start by saying that for the longest time I have felt like I am Crazy or Insane :hihi:. However, I know now, that everything I've felt is because it's all true. I am better than 90 or so percent of the population. BUT I get to blame it on a "condition" or a "disorder". HYPOMANIA! I feel like there is a supernova in my chest. Waiting to explode. It's not as bad as it sounds, but if I'm in the right place . . . many of you understand exactly what I'm saying. Don't take my first paragraph too seriously. I jest! Every single word I've read on hypomania is practically tattooed on my body. It fits me like $5000 suit. None of which I own. But I find it stressful to dance around the thoughts I have with regard to my extraordinary mind and physical output. I know may people will probably be "put off" by my introduction. But I've accepted my label and it fit's very well. I hope this site and these forums will serve to grow and mold our so called "disorder". To be quite honest with all readers here. I have for a long time labeled myself as having "a hypo-maniacal brain". I've never really REALLY understood exactly what hypomania was until tonight. Or at least know enough to know I'm not alone in the way I feel all over. Let's just say it was a moving experience. The breast news is that I can now begin to understand even better how to help myself, help myself. I can relax a bit knowing now that I'm not alone in this world in regard to my ambition, ability for relentless battle in my endeavors and . I know who I'm best suited with . . . another MANIAC like me. I have no problem labeling myself as a MANIAC because I'm a hippomaniac’s MANIAC. I just need certain folks to understand that I can achieve a weeks worth of an average man's progress in a single day. Kind of like jumping tall buildings in a single bound I guess. I wish I could wear a portable brainwavamagiggy to log the activity in my brain. The truest facts I've read is that we maniacs have a tendency to burn people out and we are so often we are misunderstood. Our existence and what we exude makes many people hate us right from the start. Other need to observe us a bit before full blow hate is hatched. Bosses and managers beg for people like us but don't know how to handle us. I'm of the impression that most of us need a good solid harness without much of a tether. Well, that's my INTRO and please don't take me too seriously. My membership and participation here is a privelage. All the best,Jim Quote
REASON Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Welcome to Hypography! :) So are you interested in science, or just being maniacal? Quote
alexander Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 right, if you are a science geek, join reason, if you just a crazy maniac geared to take over the world, then you'll have to hang with yours truly :) welcome Quote
MegaManiac Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 Interested in growing, learning and getting a better handle on my hypo mania. Science, pure logic and quantum physics are all pets of mine. I'm not so knowledgable about quantum mechanics but I understand some basics. My greatest passion how ever, is just plain being the absolute best at whatever it is I set my mind too. My brain is like a nuclear reactor. Where I seek to fine tune my will to the point of splitting atoms. Thanks for your post and your question. MM Quote
MegaManiac Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks for your reply Alexander. THAT'S exactly what I'm talking about! I'm not looking to have the biggest ego. Just to demonstrate my potential. And as great as I can be. I don't feel I've even scratched the surface of my success. Ever since I was a child, I've felt like my life has been destined for success unlike many have seen. Now one might say what do you possess now to quantify your success. Because I'm not rich or even wealthy. I live paycheck to paycheck, but i do make good money. just never been able to save much of it at all. That is a charactoristic of our condition. But now that I have come to this website, I undestand what is going on with me. I understand why I sometimes don't feel well adjusted and unlike anyone I come across on any given day. I am the exact personality profile of folks like Jobs, Gates, Branson, etc. I have a drive in me that very few i've ever met have. I just need to better control and focus the drive. Which I will do! Now I believe GOD has blessed me by my stumbling on to this website while I couldn't sleep last night. I have gained SO MUCH perspective in the last 16 hours and I've slept for eight of them. I know now that I need to tweak and fine tune this machine, success will never be able to hide from me anywhere! MM Quote
CraigD Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Welcome to hypography, MegaManiac :)I just need certain folks to understand that I can achieve a weeks worth of an average man's progress in a single day.Quite an claim, that! When you had sufficient time to read the site rules and enough of its threads to get a sense of its style, why don’t you show us what you’ve got in one of the regular forums? If the progress of which you speak is in the realm of discrete math, you’ve my mega-super-ultra welcome, in addition to my ordinary, friendly one, as I’m always in need of super-achievers in this realm, and have some threads for you :evil: If that’s not an interest of yours, I look forward to reading your posts about whatever is.

MegaManiac Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 CRAIG, Awesome stuff! I'm interested in anything you can send my way. Now just know that I am not as scientific as most members probably are around here. Quantum physics is of great interst to me but math unfortunately is not my forte. I'm not sure why? It's not that I don't have the potential. I just don't think it works well with my attention deficit. I'm more of a do'er than a studier. I am however, a student of humanity and love to figure out what makes everything and everyone tick. Ultimately, I'm here to improve, to temper my foundations and learn as much as humanly possible about myself and the world around me. Thanks much for your kind words & welcome. I'm excited to be a part of this hypomaniac culture. All the best,MM Quote
DougF Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 MegaManiacDon't take my first paragraph too seriously you know that was one of the beat introductions I've read :cry: it's a shame you weren't too serious, :doh:well :beer: what you say we go find a nice thread, and you can see what we are all about, :) PS. Welcome MegaManiac, :(it sounds like fun, lets go expand our horizons. :) ;) Quote
MegaManiac Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 DOUG, Thanks a lot for your welcome and you compliment! Means alot. I put a lot of thought in crafting my welcome. This is a great place for Maniacs like us. A great place to get thoughts out that would normally just be swirling around like a super ball. I'm very jazzed about the posts from fellow members. I'm 32, engaged and have a total of 4 kids. My specialties are business, marketing, sales & people. I never went to college. While my buddies and brother werein college scraping together beer money. I started my first corporate gig at 18. Working for McDonalds Corporation in Oak Brook, IL (world head quarters). I learned and experienced so much there. A truly amazing culture. By the time my bro got out of college I was making a larger salary at 21 than my parents who'd been at both of their jobs for 35 years combined. My father is a retired CPS Stationary Engineer. Mom is telecommunications. I've never been formally trained in anything really. Everything I know is dirivative of my drive, passion, empathy and common sense (which isn't all too common). Thanks again for your kind post! All the best,MM Quote
MegaManiac Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 you know that was one of the beat introductions I've read :cry: it's a shame you weren't too serious, :doh:well :beer: what you say we go find a nice thread, and you can see what we are all about, :) PS. Welcome MegaManiac, :(it sounds like fun, lets go expand our horizons. :) ;) Oh and BTW, Being new I don't want to put too many people off. I know as a maniac I'm always putting someone off somewhere. I'm not reserved and like to say what's on my mind. doesn't always go over well. :D Quote

I'm not reserved and like to say what's on my mind. doesn't always go over well. :doh: Well you know that if you say the sky is Blue, you'll be able too find someone that thinks it's not. but from what I've seen (read) you should not worry. To the deferents of opinion. Quote
alexander Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I'm 32, engaged and have a total of 4 kids.Well, that, right there is the answer to what you were busy with while your friends were off at college, engaged classes like "newly adult culture" and "toxicology on personal experiences", you were screwing off taking "anatomy of the female body, the hands-on course". (hope you enjoy humor) Lol, welcome, i really hope you stick around, we, well i, like people who are enthusiastic about learning :shrug: they remind me much of myself, in the younger days, hell, even today...
