10 things...

Here's how you play: Once you've been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random, facts, habits or goals about yourself, at the end choose 10 people to be tagged, list their names and why you tagged them. Don't forget to leave them a comment saying '(You're It!) and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you so since you can't tag me back, let me know when you are done so that I can go read YOUR blog answers.

1. I am terrified of Tornados. I have had reoccuring dreams (not so much as of late) about being in a car or in a filed being chased by a tornado. The funny thing is I am also intrigued by them and watch shows about them often if they are on. "Twister" is also one of my favorite movies.

2. I can't swim... well, let me clarify. If I were in a pool like at an apartment complex I could swim from one end to the other... BUT if I got tired 1/2 way I would drown. I guess I just can't tread water. I took swimming lessons in 4th grade and well... still haven't been able to.

3. I have no idea how to drive a stick shift. I grew up in Daly City which is all hills and nobody I knew owned one. Every car I had was an automatic so I just never learned.

4. I grew up listening to classic rock bands like Kiss & Led Zeppelin and then in the 80's only listened to glam rock..metal. I never even heard my 1st Iron Maiden or Judas Priest album until I was 20 (1995).

5. I have a 2 year old daughter named Nowell and another little one on the way. (We find out the sex Monday hopefully). Many people probably didn't know all that.

6. I love to play PC Strategy games such as "Total War" or "Cossacks". Anything world domination that keeps me thinking. Of course I don't get much time these days to play. I of course play the occasional guitar hero when the mood hits me as well but mainly stick to PC Games.

7. I am an IT Manager for a Cardiac Surgery Company in San Ramon, CA. I sort of fell into the whole IT thing and just worked my way up the ladder. I have never even taken 1 college course.

8. I also sort of fell into the whole singing thing as well. In high school I was asked to sing in a talent show (last minute) as a replacement for another singer. I had never before sung and just said "F" it. sounds like fun. After that one performance I was hooked. Just kept trying to get better and better. That early blackmail footage a few friends have is pretty brutal!!

9. I think most people would say I am a very friendly and mellow (go with the flow) type of guy. This is very true but if I have to go a lengthy amount of time (few days) without MY type of music or sex I turn into a total cranky @sshole!! Seriously! It's like Jeckyl and Hyde.

10. I have a weird issue with body hair on me. Other than my head and face I shave all hair from my neck down. Underarms, arms, privates, legs, everything. I am sooo glad I am naturally bare chested and no back hair otherwise that would be a lot of work!!

LOL! I now know more strange stuff about you.
(And now I think you're a total geek for the whole strategy game thing)

I swear I'll do this tonight once I'm off work.


Thank you dear!

But, but, but... what if I can't think of ten weird things about myself? Does that disqualify me? No? Damn. Oh... alright. Give me a day or... three.
=P
