The wife asked

Kayleen is trying to get people to write down 20 random things about themselves on their blogs. Since she asked nicely, I decided I would grant her request.

1. I am very competitive. So competitive that I plan on not just putting down 20 random things but insteed I will try to get 40 really random things.
2. I can sometimes get obsessed with rodents. Mostly squirrels. That's because I think squirrels are rodents with excellent PR.
3. I have a twin. This isn't really unknown fact but it is a fact non the less.
4. I had a paper route when I was younger. Well, I never officially had the route, it was always in my sister's name.
5. I have been to Canada. I would write something interesting about Canada now, but the truth is that there is very little that is interesting about Canada.
6. I was homeschooled for most of my schooling.
   
7. I know the lyrics to many many Irish drinking songs. This talent has proved to be very useful now that I am of drinking age and can get into the local Irish pubs. I know most of the Irish drinking songs that the local bands are singing.
8. I cannot see dead people. After seeing the Sixth Sense, I have found it necessary to make sure that people know that I do not posses this skill. Most people were not interested to learn this fact about me. I hope you appreciated it.
9. I own a very shinny black button up shirt. I don't wear it very often, sometimes it's because Kayleen wont let me be me, but mostly because the shirt makes me look very metro sexual.
10. At times, I can be very sarcastic. Kayleen is always afraid of things that I put on my blog because she is afraid that if her friends read it that they will not understand that I am joking. (For example, I am not allowed to say that I plan on sedating our kids if they start getting too hyper. In all likelihood I will not be allowed to go through with such plans, I still like to keep them as possibilities.)
11. I never dated until I was in college. I have heard the number of guys that Kayleen dated and I told her that it isn't fair that she dated so many more people than me and that I should be able to go on a few dates to even it out, but she does not seem to like this idea at all.
12. I have only been married once in my entire life. Umm... I know this is a cheap one to put in here but I'm only up to 12 and I'm running out of random facts.
13. I have a social security number and it is ###-##-####.
14. I am through the first season and half of the second season of Heroes and I am not entirely impressed with it. The story is kind of catchy but the acting is not so great and some of the stories don't make sense to me.
15. I have learned TOO MUCH about the birthing process. I am going to scar my brother by telling him everything that goes on.
16. I have been electrocuted by an electric fence for a dairy farm. (Thanks Pat. It was all your fault!)
17. My brother tells me "IHY" all the time. (I believe "IHY" mean "I Heart You." Yes, I know. My brother can be a sweetie sometimes.)
18. I know how to country swing dance.
19. I know how to do the local dance of a country that I have roots to.
20. I know how to mix concrete.
21. I buried a deadman. (Note that a deadman is a land anchor. A family friend of ours that we worked for had us put in a concrete anchor to keep his generator from sliding down the side of his house. It's just a fun term to use though and it makes me sound creepy when I tell people that when working for a friend of ours that we buried a deadman.)
22. We were not fed strawberries and cream when we worked for this family friend of ours. My brother and I had very different experiences when we worked for this friend of ours. When they worked, they got to take a break and eat strawberries and cream. My brother and I on the other hand got to use stuff that said "Highly toxic! Burn clothes if contents come in contact with clothing. Pray to God if injested, inhaled, or comes in contact with skin." Good times, good times.
23. I posted more random facts on my blog than my wife did. Well, I'm at 23 so I have officially posted more facts. I just have another 17 to go.
24. I've never had a body part if mine pierced.
    
25. I've never dyed my hair.
26. My favorite alcoholic beverage is probably a gin and tonic.
27. I have thrown up in a car or bus 3 times. All due to car sickness. Actually, all of the cars I did throw up in were really just small buses. They were large vans.
28. I have never played in a professianl sports league. I have been tempted but I can't leave my wife at home by herself. That is one of the only reasons why I have not gone into professinal sports.
29. I am not a nerd, even though many of my friends insist that I am. I guess it shows how much my friends really know me.
30. I know how to solve the rubix cube. The 3x3 that is. I've heard that the 2x2 and the 4x4 are actually harder than the 3x3. (This fact does not make me a nerd. It just happened to be the next thing I could think of.)
31. I used to be able to bench more than my body weight. That was when I took a class at BCC that required me to go to the gym.
    
32. I was in Civil Air Patrol in my younger days. Then the wing became corrupt and I had to get out. That or I had scheduling conflicts and could no longer go.
33. My favortie animal growing up were bears. Patially because my brother would sing me to sleep with "Go to sleep, Michael Bear, so I can shave off your hair..." in tune with the lullaby song.
34. In highschool, my favorite time period in history was the civil war. My favorite historical movie was Gettysburg.
    
35. My favorite movie from the 1980's was Short Circut II. You go Johnny 5!
36. I have never killed anyone.
37. I never commited gand larsony.
38. I never framed my brother for fraud. Even though he may have deserved it.
39. I have wasted peoples valuable time by creating long a silly lists.
    
40. I may have made my wife sorry that she asked me to write a list of 20 random things.

There, 40 items! I hope you appreciate all my hard work and time. Also, I hope I get a job soon so I have a better way to use my time.
