50 Things about me PART 1

Keeping with the theme of the month, it seems that Twitter people, or Twits as I like to call them, are putting up random facts about themselves. My sister did this on her blog (http://www.tygerbythetail.com/) so I figured why the hell not.

So here goes

25 - I am a tall skinny dude, 6ft2 and 180 lbs.

24 - I am living my bucket list. It had one thing on it. A Family.

23 - I love playing pool, specifically 8 ball, and am pretty damned good at it.

22 - I also love playing golf, and am no damned good at it.

21 - I smoke. Yes I know, I have shame. but its a work in progress.

20 - Pink Floyd is my all time favourite musical group. Recently discovered Pearl Jam, so they are coming up second.

19 - When I was a kid, I wanted to be a surgeon. My guidance counselor tested me and told me I didn't have good hand eye coordination, and to abandon my dream. So I did.

18 - I can drive 18 wheelers. And forklifts.

17 - I hate crunchy food. Except chips. Chips are not food, they are therapy.

16 - I can swim, but choose not to. Ever

15 - I like video games.

14 - I have 2 tattoos, and want one more.

13 - I have indeed kissed a girl, and like it very much

11 - I have met most of the Sutherland family (Donald, Keifer, Rogue) when i worked as a landscaper in Quebec. Also Julia Roberts but she was a bitch so I usually leave her out of the story.

10 - I have a crush on Christina Hendricks, Julianne Moore and Jodie Foster

9 - I have a lot of hats.

8 - Pursuant to number 9, I am going bald. I dont care, I'll save on shampoo, but thought you should know

7 - I am a Montreal Canadiens fan.

6 - I read a LOT. Historical, Biographies and non-fiction these days.

5 - I like writing blogs in bullet forms it seems.

4 - Im a pretty good Rockband drummer, but a shitty keyboardist. (keyboarder?)

3 - what couldnt i live without? Company.

2 - My hero is Maurice Richard.

1 - I like women with short hair. Dunno why, but thats what does it for me.


So there is installment number 1 of 2. I will update the other half when time allows, probably after my trip to the Bell Center for the playoffs.....

Until then, have fun, but not too much.
