Some Interesting Things (or Not) about Me

I have seen this on so many blogs before. "Top 100 things about me" or even better "99 things about me". What the hell? Are you that lazy that you can't think of one more thing and make it an even 100?

So instead, I will just list some random things about me in no particular order. Hell, I might even make up some stuff just to spice things up.

1.) I saw "Jaws" when I was a very little boy and it scared the crap out of me. I was afraid to even take a bath after that movie.

2.) I don't know how to swim. I just learned how to float on my back a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, and I can dog paddle. I do a mean dog paddle. See #1 as to why I didn't want to get into any form of water (pool, ocean, or river).

3.) I watched my first scary movie when I was five years old and have been hooked ever since.

4.) I had that same clown in "Poltergeist" that attacked the little boy. It scared the living shit out of me after seeing the movie.

5.) I have had paranormal experiences in my life (involving ghosts).

6.) I want to travel the world, but have only been to various places in North America and South America.

7.) I am afraid that I will not be a good dad at times.

8.) I am addicted to DVD movies. I currently own well over 300 movies and counting.

9.) I did not like computers until my sophomore year of college. I was always good with them, I just never understood the fascination with them. Now, I could not imagine my life without one.

10.) I was a hopeless romantic in the past. I want to believe in "happily ever after", but life has jaded my view on that topic. With all that has happened in my life lately, I'm more paranoid than normal. Hopefully, I will become a romantic fool again.

This is just a small glimpse of my psyche. I am a complex person (or I would like to believe I am) that is always changing. I think I will list more things about me in the future. To truly know who you are as a person, you need to not hide anything from anyone. I still have a lot of things deep down inside that not many people have seen. Perhaps one day, I will let the rest of the world learn who I really am.

Almost forgot, I was lying about the "make up some stuff" part. All of the above items are true.
