One Word Descriptions

I was recently asked to use a series of single words to describe who I am, what is my personality.  At first I was like, OK this is easy.  But as I thought about it more and more, the string of words changed again and again.  Here is what I ended up with.   Perhaps I missed psychotic….. but here goes.

Paul Morrell in 5 single words.

Stories
People
Food
Emotional
Risk

Now I will explain each.

Stories. I love to tell stories. And I am not talking about the cliché film maker response. I literally LOVE to tell stories, face to face with my mouth. I love to see the reaction when I tell a funny story that really happened to me. Bathroom stories, getting mugged, getting hit in the head by a baseball at the Dodger game, etc etc etc.

People. I am happiest when surrounded by the people I love. My Wife, My Kids, Parents, Friends, Old Friends as well as new acquaintances. I love solid conversation, happy conversation, debates, differences and most of all just sharing a laugh with others.   I love it.

Food. I am a foodie to the core. All of it. Not picky. Greasy, healthy, whatever. I love it. If I haven’t tried it, I want to and will be excited about every bite of it.

Emotional. I am super emotional. The smallest things in life will get me rolling. Good and bad. It doesn’t take much.  I get stoked, pissed, offended, and fall in love really really easily! And sometimes all at the same time. Whether it is people, food, God, my wife, whatever. I am passionate about everything in my life, and thus, my emotions are a roller coaster. But whether I am upset or excited, my passion level is the same intensity either way, in all aspects of my life.

Risk. I am not afraid to take risks. I am always looking for opportunities to do something big. Perhaps, this falls into the emotional category, but whenever I dive into something, I go fully in and don’t look back.   The problem is that I don’t always check out how deep the water is before diving… but I dive nonetheless.
