I already posted this to pacify the Facebook meme, but I figured I’d put it here, too. Nothing new here if you’ve already seen it there<\/em><\/p>\n

I am probably the last person in all of Teh Facebooks to do this but that’s ok…<\/p>\n

You know the drill. Type up 25 random things about yourself. Tag other people. Etc.<\/p>\n

25 Random Facts About Me.<\/p>\n

1.) I used to love acting and theater. I spent a lot of my time in high school on the stage. Now, the thought of memorizing lines again terrifies me, so I’m not so much about the acting anymore.<\/p>\n

2.) I eat cereal dry with milk on the side. I think I had soggy cereal once when I was a child and it scarred me I guess. No milk in my cereal please.<\/p>\n

3.) In fact, I’m pretty particular about texture when it comes to food. Crunchy is good, mushy is out. This is why I like vegetables raw but hate them cooked.<\/p>\n

4.) I’ve worked for the same company for 14 years now. That blows my mind. I mean, I was in grade school for 12 years and that seemed like forever.<\/p>\n

5.) I enjoy programming computers, but I don’t particularly enjoy talking about computers outside of work. I like being a computer user (browsing the web, games, etc.) when I’m not working, but don’t really enjoy being a computer programmer when I’m not working.<\/p>\n

6.) I love football, basketball, baseball, and hockey, but in the last couple of years I’ve developed quite an appetite for soccer.<\/p>\n

7.) I’m not a baby person. Even after becoming the father of the two awesomest girls on the face of the planet, I am still pretty meh about other people’s babies. Sorry.<\/p>\n

8.) Did I mention my girls are the awesomest? They are so much more fun now than when they were infants. Every day with them is more fun than the last day and I can’t wait to see how much fun they will be in one year, two year, five years, and ten years.<\/p>\n

9.) I’m always resistant to new technology (blogging, iPods, Facebook, now Twitter), but I eventually cave in and I’m usually glad when I do.<\/p>\n

10.) I like traveling but I don’t particularly enjoy flying. Not because I’m scared of flying but because it’s such a hassle. This limits my travel destinations severely.<\/p>\n

11.) I’m a compulsive multi-tasker. It is virtually impossible for me to watch TV without being on the computer or reading a book at the same time.<\/p>\n

12.) Yes, I’m watching the TV (Tech-Clemson basketball game) as I write this.<\/p>\n

13.) I have had a beer with a CCM artist at a bar before.<\/p>\n

14.) I’m not naming any names.<\/p>\n

15.) I have inadvertently insulted a musical artist before.<\/p>\n

16.) I’m not naming any names.<\/p>\n

17.) I own a bass guitar, mandolin, and a lap dulcimer, but I can’t play any of them very well. It’s probably because I started trying to learn music too late in life or I’m not willing to commit time to practice them.<\/p>\n

18.) I also have two sets of golf clubs, but I’m a pretty poor golfer. Also probably because I’m not willing to commit time to practice golf.<\/p>\n

19.) Judging by my skill in golf and music, I’m the type of person that would rather try everything poorly than be good at one thing. I really am a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.<\/p>\n

20.) I’m actually trying to become a better photographer and learn the art of photography, so maybe I’ll finally commit to becoming good at something.<\/p>\n

21.) I don’t hate the University of Georgia as much as I used to.<\/p>\n

22.) Don’t tell my UGA friends because they will be obnoxious about it.<\/p>\n

23.) Don’t tell my Tech friends either because they will think I’m getting soft.<\/p>\n

24.) I compulsively listen to music in chronological order. I may or may not have several playlists for several different bands all in chrono. order. I may or may not have one giant playlist that starts with Elvis and the Beatles and goes all the way up to the Coldplay\/Jay-Z mashups I downloaded last week.<\/p>\n

25.) I listen to A LOT of music. I don’t know what I’m ever going to do if I get a job where I can’t listen to music while I work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
