Top 10 Things People That Know Me Should Know About Me

10. I really, really dislike cilantro
I have no idea what makes cilantro something people would gladly put into their bodies. It tastes like soap! Do you eat soap? Well...maybe you do.

9. I am truly a geek
Computers, comics and movies. Wow. I am such a dork. Gotta love it.

8. I am from nowhere
This goes back to an interesting post by Charles a few weeks ago. What do you claim as home? While I now think I'll call Killeen home for good, I don't consider myself "from" Killeen. I actually don't consider myself from anywhere. Here's my "list of homes," in chronological order: Ft. Bragg, NC -> Ft. Knox, KY -> Colorado Springs, CO -> Colonial Heights, VA -> Ft. Leavenworth, KS -> Bad Kreunznach, Germany -> Mannheim, Germany -> Harker Heights, TX -> Killeen, TX -> Commerce, TX -> Sherman, TX -> Dallas, TX -> Harker Heights, TX -> and coming soon...Killeen, TX (again).

7. I believe...
Diet Dr. Pepper tastes nothing like regular Dr. Pepper, despite their claims to the contrary. I think when they say "Diet Dr. Pepper tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper," they are misleading you, because they don't say what they are comparing it to. "More like" than what? If they mean it tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper than, let's say...cilantro, then sure. Why not.

6. I had nothing to do with the disappearance of Chandra Levy, the assasination of JFK or the solo career of Justin Timberlake.
I just wanted to clear that up.

5. I hate making lists that require introspection
Like this list that has me struggling right now. (But since you're reading it, you've probably noticed.)

4. The way I see myself...
I'm good at many things, but great at nothing. I think there is something out there that I'm great at, but I just hope I know what it is when I see it. The important thing is I like what I do.

3. I'd sell comics for a living if I could
Probably mail order, via a web site I'd build in PHP. Then I could stay home with the kids and really only be busy a few times a week. I could fill my other time with freelance work to help pay the bills. I'm just sayin'.

2. I am a frustrated musician
My head is full of music that I can't do anything with, because I'm not so skilled on an instrument. I piddle on the guitar, but it's hard to translate ideas to reality through piddling. (If you're in the Killeen area and want to start a band...call me.) However, I have started hammering out a few of my ideas, for better or worse, and should have something to show the world in the next couple of months.

1. I am not going to go postal
A few people have commented that I'm so calm and quiet that they worry I'll just snap one day and wind up on the evening news. "He was such a nice boy." Don't worry. I'll be just fine. (That's what the voices in my head tell me, at least.)
