Yeah... I had to mix up the title. And no: I'm not going to tag folks in this. Just because. It's how I'm going to roll. But do enjoy the list, as it'll probably take me a little while to compile. (Hey that rhymes...)
- I notice when things rhyme occasionally... Like just then. lol
- My sleep schedule has been fully thrown-off since I was laid off back in December. Something I really ought to fix here before too much longer... (Although on the bright side: I have been getting better/longer sleep at night.
)
- Being an optimist is what I do, and is kinda seen there in point two. (The whole bright side bit.
)
- I am the Official Ugly Friend, the Official Weird Friend, and a slew of other things that most folks would see as put-downs. (Although in all truth and reality I'm totally fine with myself. lol And the ugly/weird friend status comes out of that. )
- You can reach me at [almost] any time of the day, provided you have access to a computer or phone. And there are about 7 different ways to get a hold of me as well.
- "Hello. My name is John and I'm a campaholic." (But seriously though. If there ever arises a need to have an A/V Techie or nerd on site all the time...)
- Red lights are a pet peeve of mine, although it's getting better. (The reason: They are a waste of gas. It takes a lot to get the Suburban rolling again..)
- I drive 55 on the highway for that same reason: Much better gas mileage. (That and it really helps to keep my calm for the day. Weird, I know, but hey: See point number four.)
- I am kind of a (hopefully-not-fully) hopeless romantic of sorts. lol (I guess that's what happens when you are single for all but two months of your life and you have lots of time to think on such things..)
- One of the bigger reasons for not wanting to get rid of the Suburban is actually because of the full bench seat in the front. (See the point just prior if you don't get why...)
- Contrary to popular opinion, I am not actually Abe Lincoln, nor do I intend to run for President. Any similarities are purely coincidental, and proof that God has an awesome sense of humor. (After all, He created me, didn't He?)
- Even though I cannot fluently play any instrument, I often play the air drums while sitting in my room, listening to tunes. (Which, for the record, is almost always.)
- I am [slowly] trying to learn the acoustic guitar. The jury is still out on how long this will take..
- I have never taken an IQ test, and probably never will, if nothing more than to always be able to say "I have no clue" and then promptly say that I'm not smart. (Mainly 'cause I ain't. Really.)
- I'm actually named from the same "scheme" as my Dad and uncles on Dad's side: Dad is Matthew, then I have an Uncle Mark, Uncle Aaron Luke (We don't call him Aaron Luke, but Luke is the important part here), and then I am John. (Actually Johnathon, which is an odd spelling in and of itself apparently.)
- Uncle Mark wanted Mom to name my bro Acts and then he would name his son Romans, but for some odd reason Mom said know.. (Still dunno why there...) So instead we have Mike (Michael) and Izak.
- I plan on resuming the name "scheme" (or however you'd phrase that) with my sons, using the author of the books. That way everything is still accurate, and we'd pick back up with Luke, then Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul....
- I don't know how many kids I'll actually have; That's kinda up to God and my wife-to-be (still not sure who she is...), but the Suburban does have nine seat belts... And even the newer ones have seven or eight. (So subtract two for my wife-yet-to-be and I... lol You get the idear.)
- Someday I hope to have a house that has a big enough open area to routinely have people over and be able to open it up to whatever ministry group may need it at any time. (Think space enough for YACs with room to spare.. )
- I up and daydream a lot.. often times during any little bit of free time I have during the day, even just when it's walking down the hall. (See points 3, 9, 10 and 18 if you want to know what about. I probably will never say more than that..)
- There are two whiteboards and one cork board in my room; The largest of the three (a whiteboard) I just used to write down what bullet points to mention for the point just prior.
- I have way too many songs that I like a lot to even come close to listing, and ditto for bands. Although I guess if I have to pick a genre it's Christian Rock or Christian Punk Rock. (Think Stellar Kart, Hawk Nelson, Relient K, Krystal Meyers, Sanctus Real, 33Miles, FM Static, Kutless, The Afters, Switchfoot, Addison Road etc. Oh! And any song we sing at camp. )
- My music library is currently over 2903 songs. [Almost] all of which is Christian music. (George Winston is an example of some that isn't, but that is just piano.)
- I wear slippers all the time in the winter months. (Well, if my shoes aren't on that is.)
- Life is awesome, God is greatly AMAZING, and I'm excited for what He has in store.
