100 Random Facts (#34 edit included)

I don’t normally do these type of things, but I was encouraged to do so by someone made of complete awesome. So, really, how could I resist? And since I can’t see posting anything of real value in the near future, I thought I’d share ’em here.

 

 

Enjoy…

1.)   I’m not a city boy. I spent a part of my childhood living on a acreage, with horses and fields, and fun. We moved to the suburbs when I was 10 or so, but I still miss it like crazy.

2.)   My favorite cartoon character is He-Man, because he is made of awesome. Like me.

3.)   I had a horrible temper when I was growing up. Now I can’t remember the last time I was really angry with someone.

5.)   Because of that, I wonder if I really am as smart as I like to think I am.

6.)   When I was a teen, I wanted to be famous like Jesus.

7.)   Sometime I still want to be famous like that.

8.)   I thought I had a “greatest day” once, but I don’t think that that’s happened yet. I’m too young and too naïve to know what a truly great day is.

10.)                  Despite not liking them, I’ve seen Nickelback more than any other band.

15.)                  We had to give a speech to the school & after the kids would vote. At the time I had a cast on my foot with a Velcro boot thing. I was sitting on the floor of the gym waiting to give my speech,…when it was my turn to speak I got up, tripped over the Velcro that had came undone, did a summersault, landed up on my feet, smiled, said “umm, more dances”, and gave a thumbs up. That won me the VP spot.

16.)                  I also played on the schools basketball team.

17.)                  In gr. 9, I ran for the presidency. We had to go to this meeting, interview thing during our lunch hour. I forgot to go because I went to Mcdonalds. Thus, the guy I beat for VP the year before became the pres.

18.)                  In high school, I smoked pot. A lot.

19.)                  My first sexual encounter took place in a park when I was 16. Standing in a small crowd she asked if anyone wanted to have sex. I said yes and off we went.

33.)                  Saying that, I think it’d be stupid to deny the existence of god just because humans are morons.

34.)                  When asked what my favorite kind of movies are I usually say movies like Basketball Diaries or American Beauty, but really I’m a sucker for cheesy romantic comedies.

Ice.

41.)                  Once, I was doing some kind of dance move where I was standing on my hands. My belt broke and my pants slid down far enough that I couldn’t move my legs far enough apart to land properly. Instead, I landed on my face and never danced at school again.
