Things about me

Like Paul Harvey says, "For What its worth..."

1. I was born January 9, 1966
2. I am 6’2. I have blonde hair and blue eyes
3. The doctor’s scale says I weigh 245 lbs. Doctor’s scales lie
4. I was adopted
5. I don’t know who my biological parents are
6. I don’t care
7. I have one sister, who was also adopted.
8. She broke my parent’s hearts.
9. I have forgiven her for this, but I will not forget it
10. I have worked for the family company for the last 15 years.
11. The company is in trouble.
12. I think it partially my fault.
13. I could move on, but feel that I am morally bound to try and fix this mess.
14. Our company has lost $500,000..00 due to theft and fraud. That money belongs to my parents. I should hate the people that did this, but I can’t. Its not in my nature.
15. My favorite color is blue
16. I am somewhat of a control freak when it comes to me.
17. I think I have some psychic ability, in that I can read a person and know what they are thinking without them telling me.
18. I am Catholic
19. I had considered being a priest, but I wanted a family
20. I was put in this world to make music. I live it, eat it, breathe it, and love it like nothing else.
21. I hate crowds, but love to teach and perform for people. I don’t understand this.
22. I will be 40 soon. This bothers me a lot
23. I am deeply in debt. I am ashamed of that.
24. My house is in need of many repairs.
25. My son has a learning disability.
26. Yet I think he is a genius
27. My daughter has more talent in her little finger than I do in my whole body.
28. They are both the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me
29. My wife is not my soul mate. I don’t know why.
30. This page left blank.
31. My chorus is ranked 6th Internationally. Most people don’t know that I sing. I don’t go out of my way to tell them.
32. I never brag on myself
33. I hate to have to be the one that is always in control, yet I will take on more responsibility at the drop of a hat.
34. I don’t drink because I am afraid of losing control
35. I have never tried illegal drugs
36. I was becoming dependent on morphine after surgery
37. That scared the hell out of me
38. Part of me thinks that people who commit suicide are weak
39. I think that I am intelligent.
40. I hate it when people talk down to me
41. My favorite ice cream is butter pecan
42. Tim was my best friend.
43. He died ten years ago.
44. I carried his casket in the funeral
45. I have never recovered from that
46. That was the last time that I totally lost control
47. I like the company of women better than men. I understand women better, and I think men are for the most part superficial.
48. I like all music except for Rap
49. I cannot tolerate conflict in my house
50. I have not seen or talked to my college room mates since Tim died, and I don’t care.
51. One of my life goals is to take my family to Disney. We will be going in a month.
52. I am not afraid of dying, but I would miss my family
53. I think that God is disappointed in me
54. I have a love/hate relationship with computers
55. Pregnant women make me nervous
56. I can’t tolerate personal failure, yet I do it all the time
57. I really enjoy blogging
58. I have no idea why anyone would want to read this, or give a shit after they read it
59. I have grown very cynical in the past few years. I think it is because I see things more clearly
60. I can’t talk politics with my parents, they are liberal and I am conservative. This hurts me a lot
I could go on for a long time. Lets see what happens with this.

    I like this list. I can't stand crowds either, but was a cheerleader in high school--can't explain it.
    I get along better with men than women, for almost the same reason you had.
    Thanks for your kind words today :)

    As a performer, there is a wall between you and your audience. A successful performance allows you to breach that wall. The nice part is, that it can go back up when you are finished.

    I, too, get along better with men. I was a tomboy growing up so I think that's why. And as long as you believe I don't think God would ever be disappointed in you.
