7 Random Things

My cousin said I was "tagged" and while I won't forward it (I don't forward emails so I won't forward this) I don't mind receiving forward emails. I still owe a few memory explanations as well, most notably to my friend Butter, but those are forthcoming as I continue to gather my thoughts weeks later. 7 random things that, if you know me, you probably already knew:

1-I'm a fitness/health fanatic, yet I'm fat and I eat the worst foods possible. Rachel probably knows this best (obviously she probably knows all of these things best being my wife and best friend!) I know EXACTLY what is needed to be in superb shape. I could tell you the perfect diet to rip you into shape in no time at all. I love reading about health and fitness: magazines, articles, books, etc. I've studied them all and I continue to read about it. So why am I so fat and out of shape? Well, there's one little problem: I love to eat! I love to eat pizza, hamburgers, french fries, donuts, drink soda, cake, ICE CREAM, bread, and everything else fattening and unhealthy. I keep saying "someday" but that day hasn't arrived yet.

2- I'm a huge reader. Speaking of reading fitness articles, I read pretty much everything. I love reading the news, books, magazines, etc. I could read the internet all day every day finding different articles about various random stuff (obviously after an exhaustive list of sports articles). When I worked for Comcast and really DID read the internet all day I pretty much had espn, sports illustrated, cbs sportsline, foxsports, desnews, sltrib, cougarblue, cougarboard, jazzfanz, realgm, and a few other .com sports websites memorized (seriously, I could've given you the inside scoop on hockey, which I don't even remotely care about).

3-I can't grow a good beard. My facial hair sucks (Rachel hates it anyway). I can't grow a full beard, it just grows long and ugly, not thick, so I pretty much can't grow a beard or a goatee, but I can grow a sweet mustache! I also have red facial hair which I think is weird.

4-I love music videos. I've written this before but I LOVE music videos. When I was little early morning Saturday had "Saturday Morning Videos" on one of the channels. Then in my teen years we had "The Box" which I would watch all night while working the graveyard shift at Pepperwood. (I never had MTV/VH1 growing up). Now I pretty much religiously watch the VH1 top 20 countdown on saturdays unless my cougs are playing. Even if I don't like the song that much, I think videos are cool. I always have ideas of what I would want to do for a music video.

5- I still daydream about playing in the NBA, the NFL, the Majors, etc. Hey, it could happen, right? 27 year-old fatty's make the leap all the time! Just kidding! Well, just kidding about me making some miraculous leap to a pro sports team, not kidding about me daydreaming. I know, I'm a loser!

6-Self esteem booster! I've been told multiple times by different people that I am the smartest person they know. (Totally conceited to write that I know, but hey, I just admitted that I daydream about playing in the NBA too). This is seriuosly the biggest compliment I've ever received in my life, I totally hope I can compliment people and make them feel as happy as I did when I was told that. I'm not really that smart, I attribute it to my mass amounts of trivial knowledge gained by endless reading of articles as mentioned above.

7-I love Bacon! Seriuosly, if you know me. . . Bacon, enough said.
