So, this thing has been floating around Facebook for a while. I figured I'd post it here, too.
1.) Despite my feelings earlier in life, I want a lot of kids. I went from wanting MAYBE one to wanting four. I figure if you're gonna do the family thing, you might as well go all in.
2.) I am a huge nerd to this day. I love GOOD science fiction (not crap like "Creature From the Black Lagoon"), and want to write it.
3.) I am a political junkie. I listen to NPR and read HuffPo and other political websites religiously.
4.) My greatest regret in life is not continuing to play music. I miss the sax!
5.) I have few regrets. This is not to say I have made few mistakes; God knows that's not true! BUT, I recognize how those mistakes have helped make me who I am; so, I don't regret them.
6.) My guilty pleasure: crappy reality TV. I'm pretty sure I've lost a few IQ points watching "Real Chance" and the like.
7.) My wife, Lexi, is the greatest blessing I have ever received.
8.) With any luck, I will eventually finish my Doctorate in Human Resource Development. My Doc is almost totally unrelated to either my Master's (Higher Ed Admin.) or my Bachelor's (History). I will be in school approximately... forever.
9.) My father was the greatest person I have ever known.
10.) I admire my wife's family. It doesn't get much better than drunken Rock Band and Scene It!
11.) Chocolate is the key to my good graces.
12.) When I left for college I was convinced that I would either be a professional jazz musician or a psychiatrist. Those delusions lasted most of my freshman year.
13.) Like my wife, I'm terrible at staying in touch. It is a grave character flaw we share. The ironic part is, we love our friends and families deeply.
14.) I am terrible at running for long distances, but (when I'm in shape) I run a mean sprint!
15.) My favorite sports moment of all time: Game 5 of the 1997 NBA finals, Bulls vs. Jazz. Michael Jordan played a huge game despite suffering from a nasty flu. Most memorably, he grabbed a rebound from HIS OWN missed free throw and nailed a 3-point shot to seal the game.
16.) I love Boston. I lived there for a while after graduating from undergrad. It was the coolest place ever.
17.) Public transportation is good. I would gladly give up one of our cars and live in a city with decent public transit.
18.) My biggest pet peeve is greed, in all of its forms. Life is too short to be greedy.
19.) I do not read enough anymore. My New Year's Resolution is to spend more time reading and less time watching TV.
20.) Viva Las Vegas.
21.) I have spent significant amounts of time learning four languages. I remember very little of any of them.
22.) I am proud to have voted twice for Barack Obama.
23.) I think people need to take "the Golden Rule" to heart. If people treated each other with more respect, the world would be a far better place.
24.) My dream car is the Mercedes-Benz SLK200. When I own that car, I'll know I've "made it." If only we can make it run on batteries AND keep the HP up...
25.) I am one lucky S.O.B.
