Tagged - 8 Random Things
Thanks for the tag Cord. Now I can actually write something on my own blog rather than constantly commenting on yours. 
So here are 8 random things you may not know about me:
1. This is the first time I have been “tagged”.
2. In high school, I had a part time job showing up to parties in character costumes. Yea, I was Barney. One time they sent me out as the Red Power Ranger. I was wearing a full body spandex suit with an over sized helmet leaving very little to the imagination. It was a pretty large party and there were like 20 moms who I’m pretty sure never took their eyes off me. I have never in my life, sense that day, felt more like an objectified slab of beef. A shame really. 
3. Even though I have been running my own company profitably for a year now, I still have no idea what I am actually doing. I just take it a day at a time and do everything I can to bring value to my clients.
4. I have yet to meet anyone else in the business world who has a better plan.
5. I met my wife at a swing club… swing dancing… what were you thinking? When we met she had just turned 21. After our first dance, I asked if I could get her a drink. I came back with a sprite. I was 19. She was surprised but she thought I was cute and liked my moves. The rest is history.
6. In the past year, I have lost over 30 pounds playing Ultimate Frisbee. I was up to 260 lbs at one point. Now I am down to 225.
7. I am lucky enough to be married to the first and only love of my life.
8. I don’t think God and Government should have anything to do with each other. I would even like to see God out of the pledge and off the Dollar Bill. I even think it is wrong to force people to swear on a religious text in court. I have nothing against religion, I just don’t like civic decisions being made within religious context.
So now I guess I have to tag some other peeps.

FYI, #3 made me spit my drink all over my keyboard. Thanks for that.

Oh, that’s cool that you met your wife at a swing dance! In all my years of ballroom, I haven’t come close to meeting any such thing. Not that I haven’t macked gently, just a little. But they have turned out to be married to men who are at home with the remote control, not losing 30 pounds. And the women have not worn their rings to the dance. They’re just trying to see who will mack on them. Anyway, I did my meme too.

Elrond,
Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your blog and your writing style.
At the end of the day, macking at a swing club with married has its own perks. I had met Heather after only a month of hitting the dance club on swing nite. She was my first and last lindy Mack.
