Bio

Rather than bore you with the particulars of where I was born, how old I am, and all that stuff; I figured I would give you a list of things that most people would have to ask me to find out. But, I am telling it to you free of charge. Here goes.....

1. When my Mom became pregnant with me, she thought it was the flu. Her words when the doctor told her she was pregnant ... "You're shitting me!"

2. My earliest memory is my third birthday at Captain Andy's Restaurant. Captain Andy was this big gray dog who wore a captain's uniform. Captain Andy's no longer exists, and has since been replaced by Tully's Bar and Grill. I consider this one of worst decisions in restaurant industry history.

3. In downtown Baltimore there is a Museum of Industry. My father loves this museum, and so we used to take him there for almost every Father's Day. I therefore grew to hate this museum. The plus side, however, is that when my eighth grade class took a trip to this museum, I got out of it, because I had the museum memorized.

4. I have only lost two teeth naturally, all the rest were pulled.

5. My earliest best friend was this old guy named Mr. Art who lived in the house across the street from me until I was 7. He was always watering his lawn and he used to spray me with the hose if I ran by.

6. I have never owned a "Big Wheel" of my own, although I was very adept at riding Big Wheel's.

7. My grandfather, on my father's side, was a chemist and invented Tang and flavors for Jello. In fifth grade I told my teacher this and he called me a liar. The next day my father came to school, took the teacher into the hall, and yelled at him for calling me a liar.

8. I have brown hair despite the fact that I was born blond. The summer after my senior year, I dyed my hair blond ... it looked better when I was little.

9. I cannot roll my tongue.

10. My freshman year in college we determined, by trial and error, that the maximum capacity of a 14x14 room containing two beds (bunked), two desks, two dressers, and two chairs is 37 people.

11. My all-time favorite musician is Bob Marley. I believe that he is one of the greatest songwriters, musicians, lyricists and all around human beings to walk the planet. And I will defend this position to the death.

12. My first kiss was by the creek by my house, when I was nine years old, from Katie Grey. This, however, was a nine year old kiss that only took place because we wanted to know what it was like. My first real kiss was from Gloria, at her Christmas dance. I have since become an excellent kisser.

13. In third grade, I sat next to one of my best friends, Timmy Young, at the front of the room. I was, however, constantly getting in trouble for talking to him during class. So my teacher, Mrs. Lochtee, moved me to the back corner of the room. Determined not to be bested by a member of the teaching profession, I would crawl between the desks, to the front of the room to tell Timmy things.

14. I have eaten escargot.

15. At my fifth grade Valentines Day Dance, I broke this girl Mary Kate's heart because I wouldn't dance with her (because I didn't know how to dance). She cried in the bathroom all night. In middle school she hung out with some "interesting" people and dressed Goth. I hope that wasn't my fault.

That's all for today. I will add additional info at a later date.
