I had some free time this morning so instead of going to the gym I did this for the "25 things about me" Facebook plague that is going on right now. I really have no reason to post this here other than I have not camwhored in a good long while, a fact which of which orphelia does not ever hesitate to remind me.
1). It takes me a long time to throw a pair of shoes out. I beat the hell out of them before it's time to go. It hurts to hear when so many people say they can tell a lot about a person by their shoes. I always ask about mine, and they say "eesh, uh, well you're care-free and, uh..." I'm just loyal to my shoes, assholes. Truth be told, though, I've been thinking about a new pair of go-fasters for a little while.
2). I both love and hate fast food, particularly McDonalds. I eat more of that shit than anybody I know even though it invariably makes me feel like garbage later on.
3). I always lose a lot of weight after a break-up with a girl. It's not a conscious thing, but with less tension in my life I think my appetite goes away and I just simply dont eat as much or as often.
4). I read...a lot. Don't bother me with poetry, though, because I find it useless and pretty much fucking stupid.
5). I dont enjoy getting gifts. I mean, getting new stuff is nice, but I never feel like I've done anything to deserve them. I spent my childhood getting lots of things I didn't deserve and now I've grown to resent that feeling.
6). My life's ambition is at odds with the wishes of basically everybody around me. It's awkward for me to know that what I have always wanted to do with what I see as my greatest talents is purported to be a waste of time by a lot of people whom I would have expected to be more supportive.
7). It's not just my shoes. I have trouble throwing things out or breaking things. When I was a little kid I felt bad about bending my baseball cards or breaking the wheels off my Matchbox cars or anything like that because I attribute feelings to inanimate objects. I picture them all cartoonish, singing songs of lament as I walk away from the trash can.
8). My dad is my hero. I know it's a huge cliche to say something like that, but if you look at all he's been able to do—whether it have to do with his career, his family, or his friends—and the circumstances under which he has done them, you'd understand.
9). If you'd have ever told me when I was younger that there would be a day when I wasn't involved in any organized athletics I would have laughed in your face.
10). I cannot wait to have a job where I get paid to work out and blow things up, and I am sure when I have that job I'll miss everything I left at home.
11). A short list of people I wish would fall in a manhole: Jim Rome for just using that phrase, Drew Rosenhaus, Staff Sergeant Gentile, the cop who treated me like I was black a few years ago, my drama teacher from last semester although he is probably too fat to fit in a manhole, and my roommate from freshman year.
12.) I'm really surprised I am still alive and that I still live in a fully functional, healthy body. I have little to no regard for my well-being if it interferes with my fun.
13.) I can ride my bike with no handlebars, too, but you dont see me writing songs about it.
14.) I like Skittles. I like to eat them.
15.) I like chick flicks. No joke. I appreciate the sentimentality of them.
16.) I don't like tattoos as a general rule because they're usually stupid (the notable exception being crosses). I do, however, fantasize about getting tattoos. I stop myself from doing it when I realize that the things I would permanently attach to myself today probably won't mean shit to me when I'm 60 and my skin is hanging and I have to explain to my grandchildren why I have a gnarled Packers logo covering my back. My solution is to brand myself. Somehow torching and marring my flesh makes more sense to me than putting ink under my skin. It just seems more my style.
17.) I love learning. I want to major in everything. I sometimes feel, though, that my time spent in college has gotten in the way of my education, because every class I take in my major is exactly the same and extraordinarily time-consuming.
18.) If I were to build my ideal woman, she'd have B cups. Big tits are a turn off to me, for whatever reason.
19.) I love grilling. I can't cook anything to temperature, but if I'm cooking for myself it doesn't matter because I eat steak anywhere between alive and charcoal. It's all good.
20.) I want to participate in a triathlon this summer in Chicago. Who's in? Anyone? Beuhler?
21.) I will, before I die, find a way to turn sweat pants into formal wear.
22.) Hmm...22... My favorite font is Palatino Linotype. I think it looks pretty cool and it's a little bit bigger than standard without being noticeable.
23.) The coolest injury I've ever had was due to the worst sunburn I've ever had. When I was in the Bronco (youth baseball) League, I played in something called a Home-on-Home all star game for all the best kids in our league who didn't make the traveling team. I was shortstop, and the runner on first stole second. He slid into the bag with his feet in the air and as I was trying to tag him his cleat caught me and tore a giant chunk of flesh out of my shoulder. The chunk fell out of my shirt through my sleeve and the hole in my shoulder did not bleed at all. It was so raw, all that came out was water. My exposed flesh was bright orange. I remember this vividly, and I remember being super happy about it.
24.) My favorite weather situation is a warm summer night when there is heat lightning. I could watch that all night, every night.
25.) I love my fraternity.

It's a ping pong ball I think. He's a frat boy, remember? Beer pong is a way of life, kind of like zen Buddhism, except people tend to forget all of the philosophical breakthroughs they had the morning after.

I liked 14, 15, and 16 as well; #23 made me embarrassed for homie and his friends. Like a walrus? Really? Wow.
Also #6 made me embarrassed. #5 is probably from a) an out of touch baby boomer or b) a dude (or both).
#8 is one of my friends...Sico knows EXACTLY who that is. He's a Filip.

If no one gave a flying shit about it on facebook, what makes you think I give a shit on Uber?
Nothing personal, pal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is about the speed I expected from most of the commentary. I'm fine with that.
Speaking of untrimmed pubes, I haven't trimmed mine in a little while because I learned that the reason I had been getting white spots on my nuts was because those were ingrown hairs, which are caused by shaving. I was worried I had an STD for a while there, but I had no idea where I could have gotten it from. Now I know.

ALSO "BILLRHINE" HOW DO YOU KNOW I WASN'T ALSO TAKING AN UNMENTIONED -2 OFF FOR SOMETHING ELSE, HMM??
Maybe I had some personal reasons for -2ing him. Maybe I'd rather not air my laundry on Uber, unlike some of our departed and unmissed brethren. Maybe I have some dirt on this guy and would rather not say what it is. Did you ever stop and consider that for a moment??
Oly has girl parts and an untrimmed bush, pass it on.

I loved that post.
Actually the poetry on ubersite is generally a lot better than anything you'll find in the Norton Anthology. Besides the mending wall, that was a pretty awesome poem.

People should STFU about what you want to do.
Learning is cool and fun, but there is so much of it out there that no one will live long enough to be satisfied.
