1. Until I moved to the coast, I thought the tail was the only edible part of a lobster. I also had no idea there were BLUE crabs.
2. I love camping, boating, archery, hunting & the great outdoors.
3. I firmly believe the recession would only be 1/2 as bad were it not for the media.
4. I am a carnivore…I love steak, pork chops, brats…meat of all kinds.
5. I generally learn a great deal every day at work. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know.
6. As each decade passes, my definition of ‘old’ changes respectively.
7. I believe a clean house is a sign of a broken computer.
8. I am WAY too cool to have a big ego:)
9. I spend many hours pondering what chairs would look like if our knees bent backwards.
10. I am allergic to mornings. To me, mourning and morning are synonyms.
11. I am who I am today only because a few people more mature and/or wise than I at key moments tactfully presented a different point of view or perspective other than my own.
12. A wise man once told me that there are many different definitions of family. My family includes many people who are not related to me at all.
13. It’s 2012. We have electric cars, robotic vacuum cleaners and noise canceling head-phones; yet, they still haven’t found a way to keep that layer of watery snot from forming on the top of the ketchup. WHY!? This really bothers me.
14. I do not consider myself a mature responsible person. That’s probably because I do not aspire to attain such stuffy attributes.
15. Never again will I play tag, football or any other sport in the dark! It’s as dumb as running through a forest with your eyes closed. Break this rule and you’ll likely need stitches & maybe a cast
16. I am allergic to cats and other animals with long fur…I have no problem with dogs. (I think it’s natures way of saying cats are evil)
17. The guitar is my favorite instrument. Several friends on facebook have heard me play live.
18. I almost never watch live television. DVR’s and torrents are the ONLY way to go
19. Not being afraid to fail is easy to say, yet very difficult to actually do. I do believe it is the very cornerstone of significant learning.
20. I love to read, but I can’t stand books of fiction.
21. I LOVE to ride my motorcycle for every-day transportation and for pleasure trips.
22. I have found I actually enjoy moving to a new area and experiencing new things. I only wish I could take all my friends with me.
23. I have never paid for a Microsoft operating system in my life (other than the OEM copy that came with my first two desktops)
24. I root for the Hawkeyes and the Steelers.
25. Happiness is more about contentment with what I have than spending my life trying to obtain a fleeting goal.
