Narrative:

Talking to ground; as the pilot flying; I was cleared to taxi to runway 06R via taxiway bravo and to hold short at runway 33. Once arriving at the hold short position I commenced my run-up checklist. After everything checked out I contacted tower and alerted them that I was ready for takeoff. I received the takeoff clearance to takeoff runway 06R. At the position I was I saw a sign that said runway 6R and had a right arrow. I turned right; thinking that I was turning on runway 06R. I began my takeoff roll. At 55 KTS I noticed the runway was very short and said out loud 'this runway is short'. After attempting to takeoff at this low airspeed; I realized I would not clear the end of the runway. I decided to abort and brought the power to idle and stepped hard on the brakes and pulled the control wheel full aft to slow the airplane down even more. I ended up stopping about 50 ft from the end of the runway and had blown both my main tires. After looking around; I realized I took off from the wrong runway (runway 33). I calculated that I had only about 1;000 ft usable runway from the position I began my takeoff roll. The cause of this incident was the loss of situational awareness on my part. Although the tower contacted me and tried to accept blame because he was looking at a helicopter; it was strictly my fault. The only good that came out of this situation was that I was able to stop the airplane in time and only suffered two flat main tires. If I had decided to continue the takeoff; I would have not cleared the trees at the end of the runway and the incident could have been a lot worse. What could be done to prevent this problem is to not become so complacent with the avionics (I was flying a G1000 equipped aircraft). Also; making sure of my heading while on the runway would have been ideal. Situational awareness is a key to all aviation.
