I am taking a quick break from some studying on a Friday night. If you are wondering, yes, the cool kids study on Fridays too. I am not sure where, because they did not invite me.
After completing my 25 list (loathed and yet at the same time, loved on Facebook-come on, you love it) last week, a few more things have come to light and I would like to share. And, luckily, this is my blog so it’s on. Here are some more things about me. There may not be 25, but we’ll see.
1) I had a big beard but now I am clean-shaven. I have even ditched the mustache. Please see exhibit A.
2) I’ve taken some serious blows to the head in my day and I honestly worry about future effects to my brain:
a. 7th grade, at a person’s house, bent down to tie shoe next to car, car door opens and clocks me
b. 8th grade, pushed into wall during basketball game, pretty much head first
c. 11th grade, trunk of car came down on my head
d. Sophomore year of college, while pitching in intramural softball, took a ball off of my head and the next time it landed was in center-field. I had stitch marks on my dome.
e. About a week ago, while spitting out Listerine, hit my head on this shelf in the bathroom.
3) Speaking of Listerine, I think I am in denial because each time I use it, I don’t think it will burn that bad-only to have it burn like Hades, making me want to punch/kick a dog or elderly person. Why does it burn so much?
4) I would love to be a singer in a rock band. I am not joking.
5) I met the rapper Kool Moe Dee when I was about 10 years-old. When introduced, I called him Mr. Moe Dee
6) Sometimes I wonder if chivalry is still appreciated by women.
7) I have large hands but cannot palm a basketball
Number Eight) I cannot be in a movie at the theater and not eat popcorn-seriously
9) Add-on to Number Eight-I do not start my popcorn until the dialogue of the movie starts. I do not know where this habit began, it is just what I do. On rare occasions I will start it when the opening credits begin.
10) I spent four months in 2003 living in Anchorage, AK and it changed my life in more ways than one.
11) If I won the super-lottery my clothing vice would probably be shoes, watches, and sunglasses
12) Speaking of sunglasses. I take care of mine and have had only 3 pairs since my sophomore year of high-school. My newest pair is only a year old and they are choice.
13) My Mom is my hero.
14) I would like to have a group sit-down meal with Jimmy Carter, Dave Grohl, Aaron Sorkin, Lance Armstrong, and Chuck D.
15) I miss playing tennis everyday.
16) I dream of having a personal assistant.
17) If I could afford to do so, I would own a movie-theater
Eighteen) I have been doing my own laundry for a really long time. Until recently I had never lost a sock. About 2 weeks ago, it happened. (Yes, Ewing, it has happened)
19) There are very few moments in life that cannot be fixed by listening to Johnny Cash.
20) The first four days of the NCAA basketball tournament are quite possibly my four favorite days of the year.
21) My sophomore year of high-school I took Algebra II and Geometry at the same time in order to catch up to the advanced class
22) I wish I could have another chance with a woman I dated after college graduation. Honestly, just a conversation would suffice. She was (and probably still is) a remarkable woman who had me pegged man, pegged.
23) If I make you a CD of tunes, you will get a hidden song as a bonus. Previous add-ons include I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred and Ice, Ice, Baby by Vanilla Ice.
24) When I eat chips or fries I will usually sort out the small ones from the larger ones. I then eat the small ones and have the larger ones as ‘as the meal is ending bonus’
25) NASCAR starts tomorrow with the Bud Shootout and I am excited, seriously.
Alright, laundry is about done. Here is an artist and album to listen to:
-Mark Kozelek What’s Next to the Moon. I have discussed this guy before. He is a true musician and appreciator of the craft. This record is all AC/DC covers and to listen you would probably not know.
