- I was voted MVP of my high school football team; and I initially went to college on a track scholarship - but never ran (I was in love with some girly named Jane).
- I am good at ironing clothes, and I like to vacuum (carpet).
- My first job (other than walking beans and bailing hay) was cleaning a sewing factory on weekends that made women's "undergarments" and swimsuits. My mom was the manager. I think I did it for about 10 years.
- If it wouldn't look totally stupid since I am "thinning"... I would grow my hair down to my butt (well, at least half-way down my back).
- It has always been my dream to front a punk-rock band: Danny & the Dregs.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Me
I was tagged by Lily, so... 5 Things:

I guess I can't pretend I didn't read it. Let's see here...
- I'm the youngest of 10 kids, the
seventh son.
- I can juggle.
- my first job was in a bowling
alley, picking up beer bottles
and emptying ashtrays.
- I once let go of a fully inflated
but untied balloon and after
flying around the room, it landed
right back in my hand without me
moving a muscle (w/witnesses)
- I've met Dick Vitale, BABY!
- I work with an ex-Rockstar,
whose band had a major hit.
Like I said in my comments - I didn't take you for a jock, you seem so intelligent ;-) (I guess being a cheerleader has the same stigma).
My husband loves to vacuum, too. It's so weird, he likes to vacuum parallel lines in the carpet. My husband would also grow his hair down to his butt, if he didn't have an office job (and if his father-in-law wasn't the boss.)
Thanks for playing tag.
dad, i'm sure its comforting to you that someone else likes to vacuum paralll lines in the carpet. it's comforting to me that you're not the only one. :)
thanks for the comliment abotu me and isaac in a previous post. we wouldn't be half of who we are without you and mom as our parents.
well...its off to get rained on in indy! should be fun anayway.

Vacuuming, lawn mowing, it's all the adult equivalent of coloring, which relieves stress.
You know, if I didn't know better.... [to be continued]
Hey, maybe we need to start a synchronized vacuuming team! Or then again, maybe a support group ;-)
Anyhow, I'm making the rounds wishing Merry Christmas to my blog community. I pray you and your family will have a great Christmas. May the new year be one of awe and wonder.

Let me know if you ever get that punk-rock band together. I'll be glad to join in on bass (or rhythm guitar).

What... you mean everybody doesn't vacuum in parallel lines???
Hey - thanks for jumping in today, folks. And thanks for tagging me, Lily. I am envisioning a music video with vacuum cleaners instead of treadmills (Here we go again!). Everyone has seen that, right? I can never remember the name of the band though.
Mike, I am totally jealous that you've met Dicky V. And I can juggle too. Maybe some night Kim will let us borrow some limes.
Andrew - you're on! Know any good drummers?
Merry Christmas everybody!
Just so it doesn't drive you crazy, "Here it goes again" is by Ok Go. Yeah, four dorky guys on treadmills. Huge hit. Go figure.
I know an excellent drummer. He's already got a band, though.
I was apparently the only one who participated in listing 5 things. If you people aren't going to participate then just get off my blog!
Oh yeah, this isn't my blog.
Okay - Here are my five things:
1. I can say the alphabet backwards (thanks to my 5th grade teacher who gave a Snickers to anyone who could learn it that way, the things one remembers)
2. I graduated from high school in three years
3. If I could have any job I wanted, I would be a photographer
4. I was a cheerleader - yipee!!
5. I would paint the inside of our house every year with some new color that I think would look cool - if it wouldn't drive my wonderful husband crazy
You mean I really have to do this????
OK Here goes...
1. I used to be a Rock n roll disc jocky!
2. In 1985 I got to meet and spend some time with Da Coach, Mike Ditka!
3. I spent a day hanging with Rich Mullins.
4. I once bowled two 300 games back to back.
5. I got to go undercover on a drug buy. And lived! I was scared to death!
Isn't EVERYone undercover when buying and selling drugs? I mean, it's not like you can set up a lemonade stand.
...found THAT out the hard way.
Dan - We don't need a "good" drummer. We're punk rock, remember? :)
