Tag Body Spray - Consider Yourself Warned

Whatever.

6 things about me:

1. I love being my kids dad. I'm gonna gush here, so tune-out if you've had your fill of parents bragging their children up. I've never ceased to be amazed how individually special each one of my kids are. I cherish all of my 1-on-1 activities I get to spend with each of them. Logan to me is the smartest one in the house, the dude knows absolutely everything, and he is always concerned about everyone's feelings. Karli is my little Davinci of the house, her artwork shows a level of creativity I didn't think possible in a 10 year old. I don't hang up her pictures at work cuz they belong to my child, I hang them up because they actually look good. Madison is my little communicator, she is 6 and talks like an adult. Sometimes I need a dictionary to know what she is saying. Tommy, reminds me of a little version of me. He loves coca-cola, football, and walking around the house in his underwear.



2. I love Football. NFL, College, don't care, love them both. Sun Devils on Saturdays, Steelers on Sundays (oops bishop, I mean Monday nights, errr I mean I tevo it for Tuesday night,...... all right as soon as I get home from church but I do go to church). I play football once a year during Turkey Bowl, and I can score touchdowns. Rumor has it that Reggie Bush has gamefilm of some of my moves and tries to pattern his game after mine. Sometimes you just can't stop me, you can only hope to contain me.


3. My brain stores tons of useless knowledge, kinda like Cliff Clavin from the old 80's tv show "Cheers". In a group setting I might break out the "what is Harry S. Truman's middle name?". As a quiet befalls the crowd, I answer "S, his middle name is S". To that, someone in the crowd says "your an idiot with useless knowledge". I respond "Don't hate the player, hate the game!". To any of you who deem yourselves friends, be advised I take 1/2 for being a lifeline in "Who wants to be a Millionaire".


4. I've had 3 knee surgeries, and have a cadaver ligament in my left knee. It's true, I tore my right Anterior Cruciate Ligament while serving a mission for my church in 1992, and proceeded to tear my left Anterior Cruciate Ligament while playing basketball with my brothers in-law in 1994. In order to keep my annual Turkey Bowl touchdown streak alive, I knew I had to go under the knife. Both times I had my ligament recostructed through an ACL Reconstructive surgery. The first one I had a Patella Tendon graft from my own knee, the second time I had a cadaver ligament. I lost a little off my vertical leap, but all in all I'm back to form.


5. I watch C.O.P.S and Jerry Springer. They are one and the same, and actually star the same people. Whisky Tango as Rex would refer to them. My favorite cops episode is when this Crack-Addict flags down a cop. She issues a complaint that she gave another woman $20 to buy a "rock", and got stiffed with a piece of "chalk" instead, she wanted her money back. When the cop asks the other woman for her side of the story, she calmly responds...."I don't deal drugs, I'm a prostitute" as if this was ok. It was surreal that these two women felt so comfortable offering up that they were: a. attempting to purchase crack cocain and b. that they did not deal drugs, they were in the business of exchanging sex for money. Simply Heeeelarious!

6. I converted from Optomism to Pessimism recently. I looked around at society and realized that life is for the most part pretty cruel. It seems at times like we're all ants, and some dude has a magnifying glass. Very few live a complete life without the ray coming in their direction at some point. Those who lose loved ones in war, some find out they have an incureable disease, and other tragedys that befall life. For those of us who have avoided it so far, we can only thank our lucky stars, and try to hide under a rock. What we really need to do is rally ourselves and go bite the dude with the magnifying glass.

I guess I am supposed to tag 6 people. First I want to tag Gordon B, perhaps he can tell us where the rock to hide under is. Next I'd like to tag Reggie Bush, perhaps he'll admit to us the moves he plagerizes from me. I'd also like to tag Paris Hilton, and have her answer why she didn't return any of my calls last week. I'd like to tag my lawyer to have him post some advice for my pending libel litigation for the two girls on the COPS episode. I'd like to tag Senator Larry Craig, just not anywhere near a bathroom stall. Lastly, I have to tag Brian Stacey, cuz he's the only Celebrity I know.

The rules: Player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and posts a comment letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read their blog for the rules.

I think that is so awsome that you know each of your kids on an individual level and do stuff with them alone. If it is not too personal to you and your family I think it would be fun to read about your adventures. All the kids are growing up so fast.
