Thirteen Little Known Facts About ME


I am borrowing this idea from my Wife's Blog, who borrowed it from someone else. I am just putting my own twist on it.

Fact # 1 -- Something I am very afraid of -- Besides something bad happening to my kids or dear wife, I would have to go with...heights or being swarmed by little insects.

Fact # 2 -- One thing I dislike about myself -- The way I am sarcastic and sometimes condescending to my children. I am working on it. Pray for me!

Fact # 3 -- One profession I have absolutely no respect for -- Any one who works for, or is associated with the porn industry.

Fact # 4 -- My favorite type of music -- Motion Picture Musical Scores (my favorites are Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean & Battlestar Galactica)

Fact # 5 -- A unique place I have visited -- Teotihuacan, Mexico. It was here I climbed the Pyramid of the Sun. What a trip! (See picture)

Fact # 6 -- Age at which I got my first real kiss -- 21. Hey, I was a shy young man, raised with very conservative beliefs. Plus I was a bit of nerd. I'm glad I waited though, knowing who I am now, I might have turned out quite different if I had started the "smooching" earlier.

Fact # 7 -- My dream job -- I think I would love to be an archaeologist! If not that, I think I would love to work full time for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club.

Fact # 8 -- A sound I love to hear -- The sound of my children laughing or the sounds of thunder and rain.

Fact # 9 -- A food I cannot eat enough of -- Tacos. I just can't stop eating them.

Fact # 10 -- Something new I really want to do as a hobby -- Join a ghost hunting group and do some ghost hunting.

Fact #11 -- My favorite word -- Truthiness -- "a satirical term created by U.S. television comedian Stephen Colbert to describe things that a person claims to know intuitively or 'from the gut' without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts."

Fact # 12 -- Something that other people do that I hate -- Gossip! I hate it and try my best not to get involved with it.

Fact # 13 -- My little "vice" -- I loved stuffed animals and have a hard time not buying them for my kids or myself. (Hey, even a 40 year old man needs his Teddy Bear! Ha-Ha!)

#6 - you climbed that thing? To quote Princess L, "You're braver than I thought!" I was there about 12 years ago. Just watching people climb up it made me terrified, dizzy, and I just couldn't watch!
