Bethy did some thing where she listed Six random facts about herself and then had to tag people after. She picked me. I think it was out of spite because I wouldn't captain the team for TDL this season ;). Anyway I didn't copy it down but I'll do it anyway.

1. I wrestled in high school. People know that, I wrestled for a high school that had a very good program and several guys who contended for state titles in my weight classes. Had I gone to a different school, I might have been a pretty decent varsity wrestler (of course without training day in and day out against said guys I was behind I wouldn't have been as good) but I stayed mainly JV, I have two notable things though. These might get split two to facts if I can't come up with six. I hold(or held I donno) the schools record for the fastest pin at 4 seconds into a match. we shook hands, ref blew the whistle, I stepped in and bear hugged the kid straight to his back for the pin.
I am also 7-0 with seven pins in matches which I threw up before hand.

2. When I was little what I wanted to be when I grew up in order went somewhat like this. Fireman, (seems like most little kids have this dream at some point), Guy who makes sky scrapers ( I was going to make one and let my mom live on the top floor) guy who jumps out of airplanes, guy who makes video games. This somewhat started round about second grade or so, originally just being drawing pictures/writing ideas. I later started writing (well copying from books) games to an old Apple IIe. I kinda stopped looking for jobs I wanted to do when I grew up there.

3. Another when I was young story. At a family BBQ, when I was five or so, I sprayed down my entire family with the garden hose. Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunts, Uncles cousins. No one was safe. This ended with various family members yelling 'commere you little shit' and chasing me as I laughed and ran. Without fail this will be brought up every major gathering of my dads side of the family.

4. I've helped coach little kids Wrestling, Football, and Baseball on teams my brother has played on. I could he happy doing something that included that for a living, and have considered going into teaching for the express purpose of also being able to coach. I've also considered looking into volunteering at whatever local team, and have thought about taking the IHSA referee test to do that.

5. Having unread messages in my mailbox drives me nuts, also things flashing in my task bar.

6. Up until last summer when I got an eye infection so bad I was unable to open my eye in the light I had never called in to work to take an unscheduled day off. This included nearly four years at UPS, two and a half seasons with the Cubs, Six months at Kraft and four at RISC. Before that I never had regular hours and always worked odd jobs (paperboy/golf caddy). One day off in six years isn't too bad.

This would be where I pass this duty on to other people, but since I didn't copy it I won't do that.. people should do the same for the hell of it though.
