Seven Random Things About Me

My sister recently posted Seven Random Facts about her... and so I decided to copy her as a good younger brother should. So here they are:

1. When I was a kid I went through a magic phase and was obsessed with it. I read some books on Harry Houdini and even had my sister and her friend tie me up with ropes and chains and put me in the closet. Of course I always escaped since I'm writing this today, but it was always something i thought was cool. The one escape trick i always wanted to try was the Straight Jacket escape, for some reason it seemed like a cool trick to do.

2. My driving record is pretty crappy. I was in my first accident at the age of 16 when i rammed into the back of a mustang with my truck. Smart Move. At 20, someone ran into the back of me. At 21, my truck got totalled and was not my fault, I was the only one in the accident involving four cars that walked away without a scratch or broken bone. At the age of 23, I got a ticket for running a red light... bastard cop... it was so Yellow. At the age of 24, I got two speeding tickets... both of which were bullshit.

3. I've never had a McDonald's Hamburger and I don't plan on it. For some reason they have never appealed to me and if i go there, which i can't remember the last time, I order Chicken Nuggets.

4. I've never voted in a presidential, state, or local election and do not believe that i ever will unless i feel it is necessary. Haven't really ever yet, I guess it's because I'm not very political and feel like politics is a bunch of crap. Oh well.

5. I am obsessed with money and worry that my accounts are being drained at this very moment. I check my bank account, credit cards, 401k, Roth, and other balances at least twice a day. In fact.. shit.. need to check now. BRB. ..... ok, everything is still like it was this morning. I can relax.

6. When I was a kid I was afraid of the dark and always felt like someone was going to try and get me for some reason. In order to alleviate this fear, my sister would sleep in the same bed as me. For some reason, i felt safter this way.

7. My sophomore college roommate was a pretty fat kid wanted to be call the L Train. He ran for High School Class president (and lost) and his slogan was "Vote for Lance, the Kid with Big Fat Pants". I shake my head in disappointment and shame thinking of this. His favorite movie is lord of the rings. He slept in jeans and shoes on multiple occasions. He was your stereotypical dork. Lucky for me I was never there because I stayed at my girlfriend's place almost every night (except maybe 2 out of the 250 nights or so).

That is all. Now these things are no longer random. Ta Da!

I never could figure out how you untied yourself. Maybe you have a natural talent for magic and should change careers. I should have remembered that thing about the hamburgers, since I never ate them either (whew!). So how's your driving record at 25? Are you going to post some pictures from Cali?

Brian shouldn't be allowed to drive. He has the vision of a 87 year old grandma at night, and he can't even read street signs.

I also believe he is color-blind since he wore green shirts 5 days straight.
