25 Things About Me
1. I like open-ended questions.
2. Brushing my teeth makes me gag.
3. Of all fruits and vegetables, I only like green apples served cold.
4. I never met a pepperoni pizza I didn’t like.
5. I’ll be lucky if I make it to 40 (see items 3 and 4).
6. I’m so nostalgic I don’t pay attention to what’s happening now.
7. I dye my hair black because the contrast makes me feel definite.
8. By definite, I mean whatever definite means to you.
9. If I were forced to commit to live a certain number of years (in good health), then die, I would choose 300 because:
a. I want to see the rise of super-intelligent cyborgs, but not be their slave.
b. At that point I would have had all the thoughts my primate mind can have.
c. At that point I would have had all the experiences my personality is open to having.
d. Look before you leap.
10. My words fail me all the time; my imagination is great.
11. I wake up crying from a non-nightmare dream at least once a year, but no more than twice.
12. If I were God there would be another flood.
13. I am still learning to see the best in people.
14. I don’t believe in the devil. I do believe in my own evil and yours.
15. I have no sense of direction. None whatsoever. Where am I?
16. When I consider the universe, I get the distinct feeling that I am an amoeba in a petri dish.
17. I am unimpressed by people who tell me they have street smarts.
18. I never cross the double-yellow line that defines the carpool lane. I wish all rules were that easy to follow.
19. I always speed a little bit.
20. I feel cheated if a get a waiter instead of a waitress at a restaurant. I’m going to start politely asking to be reseated.
21. I’m well-read, but I don’t read very much.
22. High-Def TV and wine that costs more than $10 a bottle are wasted on me.
23. One time I let someone convince me not to give money to a homeless man because he might use it to buy drugs. I gave him nothing even though I knew he needed to buy food because he continues to live.
24. I don’t respect any art that I could reproduce in 5 minutes. Subjective schmubjective. It’s crap.
25. My favorite things are good food, beer, calculus, women, riding motorcycles, Christmas, women, reading/writing, music, and my family. (In no particular order).
