Yeah, so it's 2 in the morning and I was still up for no real reason...
25 Things about me here ya have it for my friends which have already done this and for some of you that haven't you should do it about yourself too, it's fairly intriguing.

1. I’m fascinated by the psychology of chain letters and don’t really like to fill them out. But this 25 things chain made the NY Times, so I figured why not. And I’m probably a bit of a Narcissist at heart and it satisfies me.

2. I over think everything and will probably take much longer than I should to fill this out because I’m worried about what you will think of this. Yes you.

3. I’m a computer geek at heart; I’ve built my own computer and am the resident family computer “fixer.” I downplay my geekiness in attempts at athletic activities, but my true affinity is on the inter-webs.

4. I can build a better Excel Graph than you, including: Macros, Arrays, Formulas etc. etc.

5. I’m pretty good at Halo, Rock Band and had a brief stint addicted to World of Warcraft. I also used to have a great Merfolk deck in Magic The Gathering and I still have a 20 sided dice, from my Dungeon and Dragon days.

6. I had a season of baseball when I was 8, that I was the little kid that you put at the end of the lineup and coach always gave you the “take one strike” but really meant, please don’t swing and just try and get a walk. I had something like 32 strikeouts, 25 walks and 2 foul balls which my mother was so proud of all season.

7. I did get better at baseball, when I was 12 I played with a Utah All-Star team which qualified all the way to the regional tournament right before the Little League World Series at Williamsport. By this age I was that 5’10’’ huge kid that everyone wanted to check his age because no way could he be 12.

8. Trying to Trick or Treat at 5’10’’ even if you are only 12 is quite traumatic; I was told multiple times that I was too old to be Trick or Treating at my age…

9. I personally know over 10 girls who could beat you in a game of basketball.

10. As a Jr. in High School I batted .714 in JV baseball and we had one pitcher who pitched every single game.
11. I ruined my arm trying to pitch side-arm in high school.

12. I am currently on the roster for 8 slow pitch softball teams and play actively on 5 of them, could play on every single day, but I’m leaving Fridays and Mondays open for now… I love San Diego and year round sunshine.

13. Hockey and Nascar ruin SportsCenter for me. And why is everything BUT a music video on MTV?

14. I don’t like to lose, at anything, and if I’m not very good at a certain activity or am likely to not win, I don’t like to play. But I pretend to be a good sport and not mind.

15. I love traveling and would do it every weekend if I could.

16. I have the greatest friends in the world and from all different facets of life. I’ve been so lucky to have each and every one of you in my life. I roll with the geeks, to the jocks, to the pot heads to the Mormons, you know who you are, and I love each and every one of ya.

17. I have attended 12 different religions churches and am fascinated by each one and religion in general.

18. I was 2 classes, and my Student teaching away from being a teacher when I decided to change my major and get an Economics degree.

19. I really miss coaching baseball and basketball and teaching, and wish I could go back most every day. (Usually until I see the salaries again.)

20. I have 2 Mountain West Conference Basketball Championship rings from 03’ and 04’ and never got on the floor for 1 minute of playing time.

21. On any given day I contemplate just up and moving to try something new. Austin, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Rochester maybe??

22. I’ve never had a broken bone or stitches. But I have broken an arm, (baseball pitching at age 12, sorry Chad Seamons) knocked out front teeth, (swift elbow when a guy was guarding me too close Soph. season against Park City) but I dang near had to go to the hospital one time in a high school basketball game from falling so hard trying to draw a charge (flopping) that I gave myself a concussion and the guy didn’t even touch me.

23. I dread waking up every morning and could sleep for a 24 hour period if I wanted. Also I’m capable of falling asleep at any time under any circumstances; I’ve flown a lot, and rarely see anything past take-off and before landing.

24. I love my Utah Jazz, Duke Basketball, Cubs Baseball, but I would trade my favorite player from each team in fantasy sports to gain a statistical advantage. (Did I mention I’m competitive)

25. I use inside jokes I’ve made with friends to different groups of people and even when they don’t get it and it doesn’t make sense I still laugh.
