TEN Facts About Me.

I'm not all doom, gloom and business. Time to entertain. TEN LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT ME. Ten Truth Bombs if you like.

1- I cannot swim. Don't look at me like that, I mean it. I've tried floating, nope, I sink right down to the bottom. I almost drowned as a kid and I think it scared me a bit. No way. I don't like pools unless they stay around 3-5 feet deep and thats it. You'll never see me in a lake or ocean. I don't have a good "bathing suit body" anyway.

2- Worst job I ever had? I worked as a dishwasher at this restaurant called "PICASSOS" in Mt. Pleasant part time back in 1995 and it was the worst. The manager yelled at the waitress girls and the food and gunk was so caked onto the pans that you could never get them clean. I actually hid some of the worse dishes in the basement there so I would get out of cleaning them. My second to last night, I called off in favor of working at my main job at McDonalds, landscaping for extra side money. My manager actually walked the three blocks down to see if I was there. He yelled at me right there in front of everyone. But I showed up the next night for my last shift. He was surprised and left me alone. I punched out, left and that was it. Oh btw, I was never paid for the landscaping work I did that night. The guy ducked me on the money. Arsehole.

3- My favorite shoe ever is the Vans Half Cab. I used to skateboard a bit when I was younger and thinner. Skate shoes are built to put up with alot of abuse. I think wearing the half cabs make me walk flat footed as well. Heel to toe. No dragging. It was good training. I've bought them over and over since the early 90's, all variety of colors. I am rocking two pairs right now. I'll only wear Vans Shoes. No interest in "athletic shoes." Although when you watch an MTV CRIBS show and some rapper shows his closet full of shoes, I kinda want that same thing. I wouldn't mind that. I hate white shoes though. Always have to be some funky color for me to like em.

4- I find that as I am growing older I cannot enjoy foods which I used to love. I can no longer eat the following things because they always make me sick now: Taco Bell, Little Caesers, chocolate, mac & cheese, cereal, chips and salsa. And God knows what else.

5- I once trained to be a minister. True. I was raised Jehovah's Witness from the time I was nine til I was sixteen or so. In that time, I joined what was called a "Theocratic Ministry School." I gave talks in front of the congregation on certain passages from the bible. I probably still have some on tape somewhere. And after I grew up and dropped out and some other unsettling situations happened, I can safely say that I will never set foot into a Kingdom Hall again. Ever. They are a cult and its not for me.

6- I'm not a big fan of cheese. I only like light cheese. Its a good thing too cause I seem to be a tad lactose intolerant now.

7- I carry a sheet of inspirational quotes with me in my wallet. I keep them to read when I am out and about and start to feel down on myself or a certain situation. It helps me keep my head right.

8- I don't like red, orange, purple, blue or yellow shirts on me. Gotta be black, white, green, brown with minimal writing.

9- I answer every email I am given in a timely basis. And I loathe those who do not do the courtesy of a response in the same.

10- I have horrid road rage. Five minutes outside of the house I get pissed off and want to go home again. It takes very little.
