Okay, so I guess I should do this as well, partially because I like the idea. Hopefully I don't lose any respect by revealing any of these...not like that's possible anyway. How can you lose something you don't have, right? So buckle up keep your hands and feet inside the car at all times, and enjoy the ride.
1. I'm an accountant at the University of Utah, and I only have a high school diploma
2. I just got a new patio, and patio furniture set for like $500.00 thanks to my home insurance. (Our patio roof fell on Christmas day, destroying the old patio set. Merry Christmas!!)
3. I am officially a redneck. I own one car that runs well, one that needs minor repairs, and one that is a huge paper weight in my garage. At least I haven't parked in on my front lawn yet, right...
4. Don't mess with me, I have a concealed weapons permit, and you don't know if I'm packing heat.
5. I don't "pack heat" very often.
6. Beauty and the Beast is my life story. A smelly, weird looking ogre somehow convinces a sweet, kind, beautiful princess to fall in love with him. I'm just waiting for that awesome moment in the end of the show when the beast turns into a handsome prince.
7. The most I have ever paid for a car was $2400.00 the least was $25.00. However, the newest car I have ever owned was about 8 years old when I bought it.
8. Currently living in my house, I have: 1 Wife, 1 Son, 1 Sister, 1 Nephew, 1 Rabbit, and I'm sure I could find a spider or two.
9. I am a nerd. What I want you to learn from this statement is that I love Lord of the Rings, Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Star Trek, Sci/Fi in general, and Star Wars. In fact I have a collection of Lego Star Wars sets, and can claim to have hooked others with collecting them as well.
10. I have more video games than I could name in this note. They go to an Xbox 360, playstation 2, Game Cube, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, and maybe even a Game Boy floating around my mom's house that at one point belonged to me.
11. I am a sucker for movies. My favorites are action, but I also enjoy comedy, drama, animated, and even a few chick flicks. You can keep the drama queen teen pop crap. I have to draw the line somewhere.
12. I own box sets of Voltron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (The classic version) and Thundercats. I'd love to get my hands on box sets of the original G.I Joe
13. My favorite toy growing up was a Spider-Man action figure that could move at every major joint. He was awesome, and I still wish I had one.
14. Karaoke, don't knock it til you try it. It's an addiction that is more powerful than heroine, and it doesn't have any of the terrible side effects.
15. I love to cook. I've done it for as long as I can remember, and I don't think I will ever stop. I love when I finish making something that turns out just right, and everyone is shocked and amazed that it was actually me that made it. I don't know if they are intending those to be compliments or not, but I take them that way anyway.
16. My 3 year old son is the apple of my eye, even though sometimes he's rotten. I don't know if he looks more like me or Jess, but I don't care. He's ours and I love him.
17. The greatest moment of my life happened in Salt Lake City 6 years 8 months and 9 days ago. I will never forget it, nor will it ever lose any of it's luster. Thank you Jess, and I will always love you with all my heart.
18. I was called Buddha in the 6th grade because I was the best at football, tetherball, soccer, base ball, and hop scotch. It probably didn't hurt that I was a big boy even back then. One of my friends said that I was a big fat god, and the name stuck. Until middle school anyway, then I was the best anymore, or something. It was one of the few moments in life when I was picked first. I have tried to avoid the lime light ever since.
19. One of my heroes is my dad. I know a lot of people may share this sentiment, but mine is for a totally different reason. My dad has many weaknesses which get pointed out to him regularly. He almost lost his family because of some of these weaknesses, but fought through them and overcame them. He still has other things that hold him back, and that he is reminded of all the time. Even with the onslaught he still keeps trying, and slowly gets better. He is no where near perfect, but he is still trying to be. He doesn't shine evey day, but at least he does once in a while, and that means a lot to me.
20. I have a collection of comic books one of which is signed by the artists. Once again proof of my nerdiness.
21. I can't stand when my socks get bunched up, or aren't on my foot just right.
22. I love to read. I have a room in my house that has nothing but bookshelves, comfy chairs, lamps for good lighting, and a piano. I love to sit in this room and read, or relax. When Jess plays the piano, I find that I migrate to this room as well.
23. I play video games with my dad and 2 of my brothers every Friday night. It's kind of our way of getting rid of the stress that has built up during the last week. The cool thing about this is that we usually are in 4 different houses, in 3 different cities, in 2 different states.
24. Right now I'm listening to 80's butt rock, 2 minutes ago I was listening to Country, and 3 or 4 minutes before that it was Metallica. I wonder what will play next. Classical, oldies, maybe a song from a musical, with my music taste the only thing you can count on is that it won't be rap.
25. My wife is my best friend and constant companion. I can't think of anything I would change about her, and am so grateful for all that she does and is for me. She is my everything, and I hope I can return at least a small portion of that back to her.
Hope you enjoyed it, please remain in your seats until the ride comes to a complete stop. Have a wonderful day and come again soon!!
