THE DAILY DIVERSION

Adrianne and I, both, now have a problem. I'm trying to figure out how to solve it, and I'm going try something today to fix the problem, but who knows. I know what you're thinking... No, we're not having marital problems already.

Instead... The FUCKING CAR ALARM HAS WOKEN BOTH OF US UP AT 5:05 AM THE LAST TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS! We're both pretty pissed about it too. Adrianne actually drove by it this morning and got the license plate number, make, model, etc. I'm going to talk to our office manager, since the guy who drives the car lives in our building (and the owners of the parking garage own our building too), just to see if she knows who owns it and if she can talk to him. I'm afraid I may bash his brains in. This is just getting ridiculous. How many posts have I made where I reference this stupid car alarm?

Anyway, to lighten the mood... I'm going to try this "10 Thing You Probably Don't Know About Me" thing. So, here's what I've got:

1. I have a very deep fear of snakes. I'm not afraid of most animals, even the ones that can eat me alive, but something about those slithering bastards just scares the bejesus out of me!
2. Truthfully, I fear being alone more than I fear death. I can live with dying (yeah, that sounds funny), but I couldn't be the last person on Earth until I died. That would be boring!
3. I was engaged once before. However, I know I got it right the second time around. I suppose everyone needs a practice run, especially with big decisions like this one.
4. I learn things better by actually doing them. I could sit in classes for a year about how to split an atom, and it wouldn't matter. However, let me sit down in front of one and I could blow the world up.
5. I have a horrible case of ADHD (that's Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). When I was a kid we didn't have big names for problems like this. We also didn't have Ritalin and other drugs to make people in zombies. Instead, they told my Mom not to feed me so much sugar. I truly feel sorry for the Vitamin R generation.
6. I have three tattoos. Each one means something. Ask me about them sometimes. One is a screw up too. It's a funny story!
7. My wife loves me. She added that on my list that I had written down, so I thought I'd throw it on here.
8. By the age of 8 I had an IQ above 100. I'm not sure what it is now, but I feel like I'm a pretty smart guy. At least people don't tell me I'm a dumbass anyway.
9. I have never been challenged, mentally. By this I mean school has never been difficult. Work has never pushed me. The only time I really feel like I'm working is when I'm playing. I love trivia and puzzles (things that make the little hamster up in my head start to make the wheel go round). Those things still don't challenge me though. They just make me think. Man I sound like an egotist! Really, I'm not!
10. This is the most important one... I truly feel like I am a very lucky man and have been blessed. I have a wonderful wife. I have a great family (most of them anyway). I have great friends. I have a good job. I am educated. I can afford the things in life that I want. I have a roof over my head. My life gets better every day (no matter how many times that stupid car alarm wakes me up)!

Okay, so there are 10 things you may not have known about me. I guess I could've put #11 on there and had it say "I'm crazy", but who doesn't already know that? Anyway, I have a new "rule" today. You can check it out ---> HERE! Have a great day!
