Tagged one more friggin time...the last time!
I have been tagged for the last time by Blu Jewel and I told her that I would get this done over, so I shall keep my end of the bargain.
As the rules state, I should post eight random facts about myself and tag more people. however, I will not tag anyone, I will let them choose to do it if they so desire.
Here goes with the useless information about me:
1. I am a huge comic book head. I have read every comic book brand that I cook get my hands on(DC, Marvel and macabre books, but I wish that I could have attended the Comic Con '07 real bad.
2. I got my first car at 15 yrs old and blew out the engine in less than 2 yrs. I had a '82 Dodge Mirada.
3. I am a diagnosed Sleep Apneac and refuse to use the machine.
4. I used to practice calligraphy as a young child because I thought that good penmanship was paramount to being intelligent. (yeah, right!!!)
5. I owned my own 22 caliber rifle by the age of 11 and was taught how to shoot on camping trips by the age of nine.
6. I was a lifeguard for the city of Cleveland parks and recreation dept and my local community neighborhood swimming pool and stopped because I had to dive into the lake to attempt a rescue and the person kicked me in the head and almost knocked me out in their panic. I was afraid of my favorite element and didn't swim for almost 3 yrs after that happened.
7. My favorite color has always been purple and I used to wear a purple suit with gator shoes.
8. I bought my first toy vehicle in my 20's. It was a
Porsche 944 turbo and I had a mechanic that only worked on German cars that charged me so much for parts and labor that I wanted to kill him. Butttt....I bought the car because I fell in love with it after watching My boy, Brad Sellers get out of one when I was working at a Pizza Hut as an asst mgr. It was my first case of car envy as an adult.
Well there ya have it.
Have an awesome day and feel free to do one if you so desire.

Uh, can you say oversharing? Just kidding. I like the color purple too (not the broadway play, but the color). Maybe you can change the background of your blog to purple like me. :-)
Wow! A purple suit with gators huh? Too funny!!
I can no longer associate with you. Goodbye forever and ever and ever.

Purple gators? You sure you are not from Detroit? Or you been to the Broadway in the downtown D. LOL.

a Porsche at such an early age? impressive
i too used to write caligraphy. in fact, i still can, i just haven't in a while.
what happened to you as a lifeguard has always been a hidden fear of mine and that's why i never pursued the certification
thanks for sharing some intimate details of yourself.
Good list. I used to collect comic books when I was in Junior High School (90-92). It was right around the time that Image Comics started. I have been trying to sell my collection but haven't had any luck.
Hey DC
I got tagged with this one too, but I don't have anything interesting to share about myself.
I NEED TO GET A LIFE :)
cool beans interesting ones my friend.
@organ noise: never sell your comics, dude. but if you really want to do it. pick the ones in the best condition and put it on ebay. plus in your local area newspaper. there are major comic book collectors all over the world. I konw in Chicago, they were having collector conventions specifically to network to sell/buy them.
@ Ray: what up, bro? thanks for the comments. and thanks for not trippin on the out fit that I wore in the early 90's....geeeeez. can a brotha get a break?
blu jewel: yeah yeah sure sure...
@nic: i read your blog...you have lots of things you could say if you really wanted to.
hahahaha
thanks for the comments peeps.
