...don't want to be anybodies anything....
This post is inspired by the ever beautiful, ever thoughtful Damsel, then found the spotlight once again from Snowelf, and the avalanche began. I know most of my readers know a good deal about me...nearing the 400 post mark, I'm pretty sure I've shared a lot of my quirks and insane thoughts. But I wanted to wrap that package up in nice box and present it. This way, if I ever appear in a Trivial Pursuit question...well, I hope you win a piece of pie for it.
1. I'm a self proclaimed boob man...and proud of it.
2. Horn rimmed glasses on a girl make me melt.
3. I love to play Monopoly.
4. I LOVE Gummy bears, but they have to be the shiny kind. Not dull, not coated in sugar.
5. I hate spiders and snakes
6. I've broken 1 bone in my body, jammed every digit, and had a total of 28 stitches throughout my life.
7. I've almost died 5 times: 2 by suffocation, 1 by nearly falling off a cliff, 1 with pneumonia at the age of 5, and 1 by electrocution.
8. I hate large crowds. Not because of a fear or anything. I just hate seeing humanity at it's most disgusting.
9. I prefer recorded music over going to a concert.
10. I like Sex and the City, Spice Girls, and I thought First Wives Club was a decent movie.
11. I am stingy when it comes to miles on my truck. I bought another car, just so I didn't have to use my truck for shoots. I always tend to look at the resale value.
12. I can curl my tongue and wiggle my ears.
13. I know all the lyrics to the "Tear in my beer" song because my mom played it every morning while I was getting ready for grade school.
14. I have no hair mid ankle. It just stops.
15. I taught my cats to do the chorus to "Walking on Sunshine"
16. I hate the Gap, Ambercrombie, and Old Navy with a passion.
17. I hate celebrity gossip and avoid it at all cost.
18. For some reason, I always get the newest Axe scent on the market. I just buy it. I may not even realize it, and there's a good chance I'll never wear it. Marketing at it's finest.
19. I watch cops to feel better about my life.
20. I HATE wearing ties, and will almost turn down a decent job if I'm stuck wearing one on a daily basis.
21. I can confidently say I look great in a tux. That and my paintball uniform. That's it though.
22. I've always made it a point to never follow a crowd or trend. I see it as lemmings syndrome.
23. I still listen to Limp Bizkit.
24. I play video games to wind down my day. Occasionally, I'll play for a few hours straight to take my mind off things, but it's rare to find that much time.
25. I want a tattoo, but am deathly afraid of needles.
26. I got my ear pierced because 3 different girls in a week span told me I'd look hot with one. I never got those 3 girls...
27. Although my grandfather taught me about life, it's my grandmother who made it possible for me to succeed.
28. I almost killed a person with my bare hands. It was the last time I totally lost my cool. And I'm not kidding. He was literally 5 seconds away from death.
29. My favorite hockey teams are based totally around their goalie. I got to root for my kind!
30. I sleep with a fan on every night. It can be the dead of winter, and it will still be on. It's because if I'm hot, I'm not sleeping.
31. I only sleep in board shorts. I'll use 3 comforters and a down blanket, but I won't wear long pj's, or a shirt. Socks...sometimes, but it would have to be really cold.
32. I can never just sit and write. It's got to just feel right. I know dedicated writers who do it for at least 2 hours a day. I can't. But I will jump out of bed at 3 am and sit down to write something.
33. I have a pair of monkey slippers I still wear. I've had them for about 12 years now. The bottoms are just one solid layer of duct tape, but I still wear them.
34. I love being called the Flash, but I hate it on my hockey jerseys. Those will always have my last name.
35. I find Paris Hilton repulsive looking. She 's got that lazy eyelid thing, and her nose is so gross.
36. I turned down an offer to be in a porno film.
37. There is an "adult" Beanie Baby named after me. A friend of mine in college started the company, and dedicated 1 animal to me. He sent me 5 on their release, and I gave them all to my friends.
38. My goalie gear has never been washed (except for my jersey and cup)
39. I MUST get to a movie theater at least 30 minutes prior to the previews, I must sit in the middle or my movie experience will be strongly hampered.
40. I hate MySpace and YouTube greatly.
41. I can not eat anything "breakfast related" after 12:00. Eggs, pancakes, waffles, omelets, and especially cereal...never for dinner in my house.
42. I have a box that still has everything my past girlfriends ever gave me.
43. I hate celebrating my birthday.
44. I hate opening gifts in front of everyone, because I always feel my true reaction will be replaced with that fake smiling one, just for the sake of the giver.
45. I find tattoo's on a women's chest or breasts repulsive. I feel it distracts from the natural beauty.
46. For a 5 year span, I wore shorts everyday. In the middle of winter, -12 degrees out in Chicago, trudging through a foot of snow, I'd wear shorts.
47. I usually pick up a clothing trend after it's run it's course.
48. I despise wearing a baseball hat with a completely flat brim. My curve is unique to me.
49. I once killed a bird playing golf. It was my very first time playing, very first swing ever.
50. I secretly wish there was a real zombie outbreak, just to see if I can cut it as a survivor. Plus, there are a lot of douschbags that need to go in this world.
51. I have no problems wearing socks and underwear right out of the packaging.
52. I love it when people watch me cook.
53. I can not read a book if I'm riding in a car. I'll get sick.
54. My funeral is already planned out and paid for.
55. I have complete control in a casino, and have no problem stopping when I'm up, and walking away with my winnings.
56. Most of the time, when I'm doing something, I'm thinking of a soundtrack to go along with it.
57. Every fist fight I've even been in, I've always tried to reason out of it first.
58. When I'm sick, I become the worlds biggest baby.
59. I saw Shaq totally naked once, 3 feet in front of me.
60. I never re-gift. Ever.
61. I've had the same haircut for the past 16 years, because of a colic that prevents me to do anything else with it.
62. I see vacations as a waste of money, and would rather buy a new washer/dryer combo instead of doing nothing on a beach for 7 days.
63. Once I find a good author, I'll go through his library before moving onto another.
64. I still love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as much as I did in the 80's.
65. There's not a single bar of soap in my house. It's all liquids and body-washes.
66. The smell of sauerkraut will make me vomit.
67. In my growing up, I can confidently say I've eaten almost every type of animal on this earth. Most of it without my knowledge.
68. If something bothers me, I'll usually dwell on it or an insanely long time.
69. I hate dust on my stuff.
70. I'll donate clothes if I haven't worn them in over 3 months. every year I hit a point between summer and fall, where my wardrobe needs to be replace because I gave most of it away.
71. I'm still going through growth spurts.
72. I hold all my tension in my feet and legs.
73. I bought a Dyson vacuum on the only reasoning that it had no filters to replace.
74. I love to see comedy shows, but I can't stand going to them because of audience members screaming shit out loud.
75. I've had my 3 wishes dream set and unchanged since I was 12.
76. Although I want kids, I also have no problem being an empty nester.
77. My biggest fear in life is failing.
78. I hate my body.
79. I love doing reconstruction projects, but easily get board half way through.
80. I am so shy when it comes to meeting pretty girls face to face.
81. I've been shot in the arm for "being in the wrong neighborhood"
82. I enjoyed high school, and some of my best times came from it.
83. My body refuses to run. I can walk 50 miles without a problem. I can skate for miles without a hesitation. As soon as I start to run, my body goes to hell.
84. I became a hockey goalie just so I can be in the game for the whole time. That, and there was no moving involved except for falling down.
85. I hate "hip spots" and trendy restaurants. TGI Fridays angers me. I like hole in the wall places.
86. It pisses me off when stores set up their Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving. This year, my local supermarket had their Christmas stuff up a week before Halloween. It drives me insane! This also applies to radio stations that play 24 hours of Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I don't need Burl Ives singing about Frosty the snowman on November 2nd when it's 67 degrees outside.
87. My moms favorite story about me is the time I finger painted on the floor with my poop. I was almost 2 years old. She said that started the artist in me.
88. I am comfortable in saying I am well above average in "size"(the average size in America is 5.75 inches)
89. I strongly believe if I don't get my hopes up, I won't be disappointed when it fails and will be severely surprised if it gets recognition.
90. I like my girls to be in the stereotype of "a lady". A small burp is fine, but don't fart near me or tell me that the fajitas are making a sever comeback, and you'll be back in a half hour. I know the human body, I just don't want to think of it coming out of you.
91. I refuse to go into a woman's purse, even if you tell me to. I know what's in there, and I don't want to come in contact with it.
92. I hate lipstick. I hate the way it tastes on lips. In fact, I usually dislike all makeup on a woman. I prefer natural beauty. There's nothing worst then giving a small surprise kiss on the cheek and getting a pound of blush in your mouth. Yuck.
93. I love 80's music. I hate 70's music.
94. I love Chevy Monte Carlo's, but only from the 80's. In my opinion, the greatest cars were built before 1978.
95. My blood line extends into the 1920's mafia movements. My great-great-grandmother "got around".
96. I hate college sports. The big 10 and the Final 4 and March madness are the most stupid events to me.
97. I tried the Atkins diet one time. After 2 weeks, I wanted to kill somebody. I need starch to regulate me.
98. I love Monster Lo-Carb energy drinks, and always try the newest energy drink on the market. People think I'm addicted to caffeine, but it usually has no more caffeine then coffee. As a test, I quit my daily Monster intake for a month. I had no problems.
99. As a kid, I hated lightening storms, and was afraid of them. Now, I admire them, and will sit out on my balcony just to watch them.
100. I always name my cars, and will refer to them as such. My earlier cars always had "Flash" in them (ex. Flashmobile, Flash Squared), later cars took on a personality (ex. MC for the Monte Carlo, Firechicken for the Fire Bird, Black Betty for my Caliber). to me, if it has a name, I'll baby it more.
101. I wear a bracelet given to me by a little girl 7 years ago and have never taken it off. On Thanksgiving, I had to make a run to pick up some last minute stuff for my family, where in line, this girl of about 11 was buying something, and her mom didn't give her enough money for it, so I gave her the dollar. Thanks me, and offered me a bracelet she makes. She only had 1 solid black one, and tied it on my wrist. It has never come off since that day.

8 Brain Droppings:
7. please don't use up your last 4 lives any time soon.
15. how exactly do cats do that?
22 juxtaposed with 26 makes me giggle.
51, brand new socks are a sweet joy in life
66. you're safe in my house, saurkraut makes me gag too
73. do ya like the dyson?
78, why do you hate your body?
83. ditto
86 & 92. AMEN brother! preach it!
91. good boy
101. i bet that girl would love knowing that. how sweet of both of you.
That is a serious chunk of Flash-info right there!! :)
8. I hate large crowds of shoppers for this reason.
17. Absolutely hate celebrity gossip and have no clue why it is considered "news" for the media to report on someone's personal problems.
33. That is so freakin' cute I don't think I can read it more than once.
37. That scares me a little bit. :P
40. ME TOO ME TOO ME TOO!
52. Pick me! Pick me!
53. Oh, that kinda sucks. :(
87. Neither one of my chilis has done this--thank GOD!!!
101. That is just as sweet as your homeless girl story that melted my little heart last Christmas.
Word.
--snow
I noticed that...
....You use the word 'hate' too often
You seem angry with Life.
Wow! I'm glad I helped inspire you to write a 101. I have said before that I think everyone should do it. It's a great excercise and I feel I know you just a little better now.
30. My ex-boyfriend did that too. Only he did it for the white noise and not to keep cool. He couldn't sleep without it.
36. So did I! Hahaha! It was my first visit to L.A. Say no more, right?
58. That's not special to you, dear. That's how ALL men are.
63. I do that too. Needless to say, I was stuck on Stephen King for quite a while.
83. My body refuses to skate. I just can't do it. I've tried. You and Snow can blade. I'll run.
95. Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. ;)
101. That's an awesome story.
Critical I am of everyone and everything, after reading all 101, you are one of the few good ones. I find your blog a refreshing escape from the typical nothingness most others possess. Someone said you use the word hate too much? Not so. There is too much out there to hate. Not your fault. Good work.
I like my ladies to be "lady" like. If you just farted, don't tell me that could have been a taco fart! Ugh!
Very cool list :-)
I see you have been busy. 101 reasons to fall inlove...might be a better title.
*sigh*
I don't like to start "new" things because the thought of failing keeps me from the start. But above that my greatest fear is being alone. *shivers*
I can't read in a car, but I have no trouble in a plane.
Please let me take you to a beach vacation. I can promise you, neither your money or boredom would be involved. ;o)
Can I watch you cook, naked? *giggles*
*sigh*
You are an amazing man. Please don't change.
You have inspired me to write another 100 things about me.
It's amazing how alike people are in some ways. Your list drives that point home.
