50 Random Things about Me

This has been going around Facebook, in various forms, and this is the one that i like the most. But because blogs are infinitely cooler, I will choose to do it here. This is my first post of my "fun" blog, and I have a goal to make it for more interesting and get a whole lot more hits and followers than my political one.

1. My maternal Grandmother named me, after my dad.

2. I served a mission at age 19 to 21 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Seattle, Washington.

3. I am getting an accounting degree. But I don't like accounting. I am also studying Business Management, which i thoroughly enjoy.

4. I LOVE to dance. (that's me with the "fy" projected on my pants, toward the right on the front row)


5. I love working with teenagers. I spent this past summer working with the youth from my Church at a program called Especially for Youth (EFY for short).

6. I LOVE EFY as a program. It's the best thing I can ever do with my summer.



7. I try to eat natural and organic food.

8. I hate riding bikes.

9. I love riding motorcycles.

10. I have curly hair.

11. I'm a 5th generation Mormon and a Comanche Indian.
12. I have a really small computer with a big hard drive.

13. I work in the Salt Lake City Temple as an ordinance worker. I am one of 5 people younger than age 25 with that position.



14. I like to eat grapes and oranges and peaches and bananas. I would rather eat those than a sugary treat any day.

15. I carry a gun, and have a concealed weapons permit in both Utah and Florida. It's not because I'm paranoid; rather, I've been jumped, shot at, and have been the witness of a street robbery, and I want to be prepared next time.



(a Sig 2009: this is what I carry.)


16. I come from a family of four kids, spread over 10 years. I am the oldest.

17. I have a bad back, from three different car accidents. I do not let this hinder my enjoyment of life. For example, I just spent the day on the beach, exerting myself swimming, playing football, etc.

18. I love the way grape soda tastes.

19. I had braces for 5 years. I still wear my retainer at night.

(me at age 16, about two months before the braces came off)



20. I love cologne. I enjoy smelling good for the ladies and for myself. (I've been looking for a bottle of Wings cologne and can't find it anywhere. Let me know if you find one.)




21. You will rarely see me in public with just a t-shirt and jeans.

22. Shopping at the mall is something I enjoy.

23. I worked at a supermarket called Publix for two years before my mission.



24. I love to work out, especially with weights. It makes me feel manly.

25. I have a very unusual cell phone. It's called an LG Glance


26. I drink a LOT of water, probably close to an gallon a day.

27. I can write a paper in two hours, and it will most likely get an A. (my tutoring kids hate me for that)

28. I am a professionally trained pianist and organist, and an amateur choir director and guitarist.

29. I have lived in 6 different houses or apartments in the past year and a half.

30. I love to travel. I prefer to drive, (yay roadtrips!) but if I'm pressed for time I'll fly. My next adventure is up to Jacksonville.

31. I enjoy cooking. When I cook, however, I go crazy and make a full course meal.

32. I shave my arms.

33. I've been pulled over six times by the police, highway patrol, deputy sheriffs, etc for speeding. I have no speeding tickets.

34. I really enjoy public speaking. That's me teaching me a group of kids at EFY.

36. I hang my laundry out to dry.

37. History, law and politics are my intellectual passions.

38. I enjoy family history and genealogy.

39. I think global warming is a load of crap.


40. I am a romantic. I love low lights, long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners, and talking for hours. I will do anything within my morals for a woman I love. (Mom is most certainly included in that.)

41. I don't like cold rain. It's a miserable experience being soaked by it.

42. I drove a purple mini-van to my senior prom.
