January 28 - 25 Random Things

I had to write this for my Facebook friends, so I thought I would share it here. Funny enough, I could probably come up with 25 "naughty" random things too. I wonder if I should post those as well.

1. I have many wishes, but I do not have enough energy or discipline to achieve them... such as learn to play piano, paint, take up woodworking, and cooking. I take photos because there is instant gratification.

2. I am a pretty boring dresser. I have not bought slacks in years and really only have 3 good outfits I can go out wearing. I want to buy some more stylish clothes this year.

3. If gas, car payment and the environment was not an issue, I would own a large pickup or a Jeep.

4. My favorite animated show on TV is "Family Guy." The humor is not for everyone, but I enjoy how it isn't PC and that everyone and everything is a target of a joke.

5. Open drawers and cabinets drive me nuts. Shut them!!

6. I created a game called "Who Knows Brandon Best" for my 30th birthday party. Someone who I just met won the game. This is no reflection on my friends... other than that they all hate games... and don't know me very well. :)

7. I like listening to certain kinds of folk music while drinking a glass of wine. It relaxes me.

8. I have only dressed as woman once... Halloween 2002

9. If I could have one super power, it would be to time travel.

10. I am not a big candy person. I like candy every once in awhile, but I don't go out of my way to buy it. If I do buy candy, I prefer fruit flavors over chocolate.

11. When I fly I prefer to sit next to the window and in the rear of the plane. I love to look out the window the entire trip, and I feel safer in the rear of the plane.

12. I am a firm believer in parking lot "car"ma. If a parking spot gives me bad vibes, I won't park there.

13. My favorite movie is "Donnie Darko"... for many different reasons (music, philosophy, etc). See #9

14. My all time favorite place in the world to be is on the west side of the Sandia Mountains overlooking Albuquerque at sunset.

15. I couldn't talk about sports if my life depended on it. I understand the rules of most games, but I could care less who won what, passed this, ran that. I commend the players on their abilities, but what they do just doesn't interest me.

16. My favorite underwear is 2xist. For some reason they actually make my flat ass look better.

17. My dream vacation would be a trip to Austrailia and New Zealand.

18. Oddly enough, I don't keep in touch with anyone I went to school with for 4 years at the Univerisy of New Mexico. All of my college friends are from Central College (where I went for 2 years).

19. I listen to Conservative AM talk-radio on the way to and from work... mainly for the traffic report.

20. It bothers me when people back into parking spots. What is the point... other than to piss off people waiting on you to pull back into a spot all crooked.

21. I write my notes in blue ink and I print. In college I would always use a Bic #2 mechanical pencil. Also, if I doodle I will get a clean sheet of paper rather than mark up my notes.

22. I have worn glasses since I was in 1st grade. I have tried contacts a few times but never could get into the hang of them. I have even toyed with getting laser eye surgery. Right now having glasses are cheaper than any other option. Besides, I am happy with the way I look in them (even if I do think I look better without them).

23. I believe in UFOs and ghosts, but I also believe 99.999999% of the claims from people are false.

24. I would love to take a cross country trip with a camera and skip all the interstate highways.

25. I have a small scar under my bottom lip that I got when trying to jump and slide over a small hill of snow I built one winter as a kid. I piled up the snow with the shovel, ran back, aimed for the pile, sprinted and jumped over the snow. I slid right into the shovel I forgot to move.

December 20 - Cheesy Pic Time!

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:18:58 GMT

After going through some of my resent pics, I found a few I'd rather not post... but I am anyway. Consider it a gift of laughter for the holidays... lol. I admit I sort of like the first one...

1. At a Christmas Party waiting for a drink
2. Showing off my Jesus Action Figure set I won in a white elephant gift exchange. Go Jesus! You rock!
3. My first kiss with a girl since... um... let me think... 1994 maybe?
4. Side view (which I hate) while at a work function (same sweater I know)
5. Flipping off my friend Kenny while having drinks at the bar. Can you tell I had one too many?

After getting my hair cut this evening I was in a accident. A car in the on-coming traffic turned in front of me to go down a cross street. Luckily no one was injured. Now I will just be without a car for a few days while it is in the shop. Joy joy.

Coincidentally enough, I work with the mother of the girl I hit.
