Darn it, do I have to? Alright, if you insist.
1. I've spent most of my life from the time I was 14 chasing get rich quick schemes and starting businesses with my brother. None of which worked out, and I finally cut my losses.
2. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.
3. Literally the son of a preacher man, now I'm going to try and follow in his footsteps. Should have done that to begin with and not gotten involved with my delusional brother.
4. Due to the economy, my bad choices in life and my recent vow of poverty, I haven't been able to move out of my parent's house, despite being 24
. I still work hard on specific tasks that bring money into the family, but I've decided to give the world a rest for now, it obviously doesn't like me very much
. I am, however, convinced that I'm doing what I should be doing, even though I wish things were different, I could be doing this stuff in my own house right now...
5. I saw college for what it was, a waste of time and money, and my exceptionally wise father who
is a college graduate warned me not to go. I can safely say that I have more skills, more real world knowledge and am far smarter than any average college grad. Thanks Google!
6. Built a house when I was 20....too bad it didn't sell, economy tanked while it was in progress and my parents had to buy it just to save my brother and I. It's a great house, and that's where I'm living now. The subdivision developer has named it his favorite, he comes by and ogles at it every once in a while...and it's not even the most expensive in the neighborhood which is probably in the range of 800-900 thousand and ours is only 550. I guess money isn't everything afterall.
7. Aspiring cameraman, video editor/special effects artist, audio engineer, author, voice talent, director, chef
, computer technician and all-around handyman (you got a problem, I can probably fix it; or you, one of the two).
8. Used to have exceptionally long hair, down past my shoulders...just wish someone had told me it wasn't my style, but it seemed cool for about 2-3 years. Now it's a military length, I do get a little nervous when showing ID, my drivers license still has a pic of me with long hair; can't wait to get that updated, people at bars and liquor stores sometimes look at me funny.
9. I've met and worked for some of the richest people in my city, and I can honestly say that the more money someone has, the more of a low-life they are (with exceptions of course, John Schnatter (Papa John) isn't that bad, but he earned his money, so there's a difference).
10. Seriously? I don't have anymore!
What, you really want to hear about how my dog is dieing? Or how my mom is a cancer survivor, chemo nearly killed her, got cancer again, and beat it back without the help of doctors? Or my dad's old Vietnam Air Force stories about how he'd paint peace signs all over the base at night and was never caught? How about the 1.3 million dollar mistake my father made during a mid-life crisis; and why does a resturaunt cost 1.3 million? Oh, my life sounds more like a roller coaster now that I think about it..."I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy Train!"
