Five things you (seriously) didn't know about me

 
 

I've been tagged by Greg and now I've been held accountable to post Five things you (seriously) didn't know about me. I usually ignore this stuff when it comes around in email, but I think my readers deserve to know a little more about me. I suppose it could make me more personable? I'll put a little twist on it by giving you 5 astonishing deep, dark, juicy, closet like facts and 5 light, ho-hum, boring facts about me (minus the gory details). Ten little snippets in all. If you want details, then let's talk!

Dark and Juicy 5

  1. I search for and watch youTube videos with keywords "fist fighting". Some caveman-like part of me finds guys beating each other up intriguing.
  2. I like danger. I own a Yamaha YZF R1 Sport Bike and it currently fulfills my danger desire (when it accidentally goes over 110 MPH in few seconds).
  3. I had a son that was born at 26 weeks and lived for 2 days. It changed my life in so many ways, and lessons were learned by OHSU that helped to improve neo-natal care.
  4. I live in and hate the city. However, I have a hard time swallowing change when it impacts my family; so I can't get out.
  5. I'd rather manage cattle, mend fences, and ride a horse all day than be in high-tech.
     

Ho-Hum 5

  1. I was construction worker and construction business owner for 6 years. Trades of tile, painting, and finish carpentry.
  2. I owned my own small, mall bizness named "Twisted Pretzel". It failed because the location was crappy. The product was like a bagel in pretzel form. Tasty...
  3. I have 4 kids. I love 'em like crazy, even though they drive me crazy!
  4. In high school I graduated in the top 10. There were only 26 in my class... Shut up! Top 10 is the important thing.
  5. I drive an oxidized 1993 Isuzu Rodeo with 160k miles and balding tires because I want to. I wash it only once a year because its so ugly you can't really tell when it's clean.

Part of the tagging game is that I need to tag 5 others. I choose Dror, RosieJohn, Antony, and Brian. Tag, you're it; please give us "Five things you (seriously) didn't know about me" :-)
