1. Fifteen years ago, I fell madly in love with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Diana Krall. I still am.

2. I hate Macaroni and Cheese. Never liked it, still don’t and never will. I know I’m defying some ardent stereotypes but I have yet to acquire a taste for it. If you make it for me, I won’t eat it…sorry. However I hope we can remain friends.

3. I’m often moved to tears when my search for them is to no avail. To say I miss my college classmates is a vast understatement. I can’t find them. I simply lost track of them.

4. General Robert E. Lee was my great grandfather (times 5). Hewas the General that led the Confederate army in my country’s last civil war.

5. I’m the biggest “pack-rat” in the world. I keep everything for the eventuality I may need it someday. That day NEVER comes.

6. The impulse buy items at a store check-out line to me is like kryptonite is to Superman. It’s an incredible weakness for me. I tend to take advantage of far too many of them.

7. The year 2002 was my worst year living on planet earth. I convinced myself I had a debilitating illness. I was wrong.

8. I’m lonely most times. I can be surrounded by countless people, however I feel incredibly abandoned. 

9. I drive entirely too fast. I take pride in my sixth sense in knowing where the traffic law enforcement may be hiding.

10. I have 8,600+ sexy followers and subscribers. I’m bewildered so many people choose to hear of my escapades and positivity. I’m eternally grateful they are with me however I’m also afraid they will one day realize I’m nobody special, just an average joe.

11. I’m severely allergic to grass. I must use a disposable pollen mask when mowing my lawn otherwise I would be sneezing for hours.

12. I watch Good Luck Charlie faithfully. This Disney channel sitcom reminds me of the wholesome programming of yesteryear.

13. One on one conversation frightens me. I’m more comfortable addressing a crowd of hundreds.

14. I hate watermelon.

15. My first name was going to be “Fox”. That is my grandmother’s maiden name. Not sure why my mother changed her mind.

16. I was a drum major in my high school marching band. The impetus was my hatred of playing my saxophone with frozen fingers outside in frigid weather. I also felt confident in leading the band and showing off a little…huge adrenalin rush.

17. I am a full fledged “possibilitarian”. I am optomistic to a fault.

18. I’ve always fantasized about visiting Moscow and Rio de Janeiro.

19. I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. No, not commercial…twin engine jet.

20. I hate snow. 90+ degree weather makes me extremely happy.

21. I lose most debates. Even though I’m armed with facts and logic, I’m screwed because other people are always “right”.

22. I cut my own hair. I have not been to a barber in years. Some of my earlier work was absolutely hideous. Not sure why I went out in public.

23. I was an altar boy in church when growing up. I was raised Catholic.

24. I hate the feel of carpet. I can’t stand how carpet feels to my hands. I get the chills every time I rub my hand over it…like fingernails on a chalkboard.

25. I was an avid infomercialholic. If the testimonial sounded authentic about any product sold on T.V., I bought it. I’m now recovering from this disease.

26. I dislike most secular music. I think it lacks depth and imagination. I gravitate to more obscure independent off the beaten path arrangements. Early in life I was basking in the melodies the likes of Azimuth, Jean-Luc Ponty, Pat Metheny, Spiro Gyra and The Writers while my peers enjoyed the mainstream.

27. I can moonwalk.

28. I’m addicted to Wii tennis. I’ll play that video game until I’m writhing in pain for a solid week with “tennis elbow”.

29. I’m a college dropout. I went to college however I never finished.

30. I hate blue jeans. I don’t own a single pair. They are just not comfortable to me.

31. My mother was my kindergarten teacher. I thought I had carte blanche on misbehavior in class. It didn’t take her long to erase that delusion.

32. I love solitude.

33. I sleep 4 hours each night. Any more than that, and the next day I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

That’s all.

See every day as a bonus. Each day, without exception, is a gift.

It would be nice if @verizon would stop spending their potential product developing $ to mail us 2 glossy brochures every week.

Some days call for doing a flawless swan dive into my coffee pot… yep, you guessed it…today would be that day.

after having the day off yesterday, sticking a toe back into reality isn’t high on someone’s list of priorities.

Keeping his “death cough” isn’t either.

Oh…My…GOD I hate Robitussin.

I have to admit, I have far too much joy for three day weekends. Today is Monday, President’s Day, which means the fine organization to which I’m employed has graciously given us this day off.

Making good use of this time off to volunteer at the local soup kitchen or through other acts of altruism certainly is noble. Believe me, I contemplate this all the time.

However, I’ve been quite busy lately.

With that said, I ain’t doin’ jack shit today.

The VALUE of your life cannot be determined by your successes. VALUE is established through GRACE!
