25 Random Things About: Me.

01.30.2009

On facebook, a ton of my friends have been writing these lists as a sorta tidbit, behind the scenes look into their lives. I'm following the trend and writing a few things people may not know about me.

1. I've been approached to design several tattoos. I have never designed a tattoo.

2. My wife has made me laugh uncontrollably more than once.

3. I want to hike the Pacific Crest Trail in it's entirety.

4. I am a creative person ... including my spelling.

5. I'm exaggerating, perhaps ... but I have the best friends I could ever ask for. Friends that make me laugh, think, and forgive me when I've wronged them ... which is more than I deserve.

6. I'm always looking for new friends.

7. I believe women who wear high-heel leather boots have a confidence issue.

8. I've focused on being a designer since the 9th grade in high-school ... probably the reason I had a 2.2 GPA upon graduation.

9. Riding the springy-bouncy horse when I was 3 or so ... I got ejected and broke my leg. Subconsciously, I think that's why horses intimidate me a little.

10. I would rather have a baby than a pet. (exception: kangaroo)

11. The only sport I keep tabs on is Pro-Cycling.

12. I think that the more people that attend a party, gathering, or social get-together ... the dumber the collective conversation gets. Therefore, I prefer groups of around 4-8 at most or it's just social banter.

13. I regularly debate turning my photography into a commercial endeavor.

14. I hold strong opinions on women's fashion. Trends are over-rated.

15. Religion and politics should be discussed openly. People died for our right to share ideas but few exercise it.

16. The Bible is God's word and that He'll judge us based on our obedience of it. So you might want to read it.

17. I did not vote for Obama. Although I was incredibly impressed with his marketing machine.

18. I once got pulled over for speeding twice in one day ... without telling a lie, crying, or showing some leg, I got out of both tickets. I've slowed down since then.

19. Lightening once struck the ground 20 feet from where I was camping ... scariest second of my life. I considered it a warning.

20. My wife is 90% directly the opposite of me.

21. I'm a spender, not a saver. And knowing this ... makes me all the wiser.

22. I am very analytical about everything ... this has made me a good designer, an insightful friend, and a difficult husband. I'm working on it.

23. I like hugs but never know when they're appropriate.

24. I'd like to learn to play the mandolin or the banjo. I need a teacher.

25. One of these 25 items is a lie.
