mrcatch22's blog: "...on killing"

001. I'm left-handed.
002. I'm very punctuationally-minded, but I rarely use seperate paragraphs.
003. I'm Dyslexic.  Or, dyslexic I'm, if you prefer.
004. I play guitar.  Right-handed.  And I refer to it as a "git-fiddle"
005. I was a vegetarian for like 6 or 7 years.
006. I taught Tae Kwon Do for several years, before I abruptly gave it up.
007. I have brown eyes.  They shift colors, though, to a greenish-grey.  Never could figure out why.
008. I will only eat cake if it is in a bowl full of milk, like most people would eat cereal.
009. I'm ALWAYS thirsty.  And, no, I'm not diabetic.
010. I tried to invent a musical form known as "techno-grass," but it didn't work.  And thus I was out the $15.00 I paid for a banjo at Salvo.
011. "If I could be any kind of a vegetable, I would be a carrot."  If you can name the show I stole that quote from, you're a bigger nerd than I am.
012. I hate computers, but I haven't yet found a way to browse the web on my surf-green typewriter.
013. I'm easy to amuse.  I sit and stare at the wall for hours on end when I'm drunk and by my lonesome.
014. I love politics, but I hate most things political.
015. I used to idolize Patrick Swayze, the Cajun Cook (Justin Wilson, yo), and Bob Ross (the 'happy trees' dude)
016. Richard Simmons has always terrified me.  No joke.
017. I lived in a cave for about 3 months right after I graduated highschool.
018. I taught wilderness survival and Orienteering (Land Navigation) at a Boy Scout camp.
019. I learned to drive on an '85 Honda Accord (stick like a mofo) that had just shy of 500k miles on it when it died.
020. The first car I ever bought was an '85 Olds Cutlass Supreme.  The bench seat was held up by a basketball jammed between it and  the rear seat.  I'm willing to bet you can guess why.  They should definately bring back bench seats.
021. I threw axes and knives (big ones...not 'throwers') at various lumber jack shows.  Never placed, though.  I was just happy if they all stuck in the target!
022. I'm an Eagle Scout.
023. Everything I've ever done was learned from watching 'MacGyver' as a kid.
024. I really, really, really want a pet monkey, or five.
025. My favorite animals are Ferrets and Otters.
026. I turn most everything into a pun...a good glass of milk?  Utterly Amazing!  :)
027. I have no idea what people are saying most of the time when I'm chatting online...IMHO, LOL, LMAO, etc.  I usually have to ask at least three times what acronymns like that mean before I remember them.  Odd, seeing as I use a few hundred different acronymns in the course of my job.
028. My IQ is somewhere between 5 and 12, I think.
029. I want to punch clowns in the face.
030. I rarely watch TV.  When I do, it's boring crap like the history channel.
031. I love to read.
032. I've had, at last count, like 20 jobs since I started working at the tender age of 14.
033. I'm an ordained minister, and founded a religion, that I got federally-recognised...EKUDISM (DUKE, backwards).
034. I absolutely suxx0r at almost all sports.
035. I love quotes.
036. I'm almost always tired, but tend to be unable to sleep for days on end.
037. Tobacco is addicted to me.
038. I want to be cremated.  Preferably after I die.
039. I'm incredibly stubborn.  That makes up for my lack of natural gifts.
040. My nose has been broken at least 4 times.  One nasal cavity is like twice the size of the other as a result.
041. I have a huge thing for piercings.  At one point, I had 14 of them.  Now, alas, I have but 4.
042. I hate needles.  They terrify me.  But tattoo and piercing needles don't phase me at all.
043. I want tons of tattoos, but so far only have one brand (right forearm, maltese cross...dad's a fireman)
044. I know for a fact that the one food ENGINEERED to taste like chicken does not, in fact, taste like chicken (soy nuggets are nasty!).  Sweet, sweet Irony!
045. I always sleep with my back to whoever I'm sleeping with.  If I spoon, consider yourself VERY special, unless you're in Weapons Squad, and we're in the field, and it's cold.   And, no, I'm not a whore.  I'm a procreator.  It's what guys do.  It's our thing.  Shut up.
046. I hate my mom's dog.  Ok, not really.
047. I used to be a huge D&D nerd (dungeons and dragons).
048. Online gaming sucks.
049. Bosses (civilian or military) make me unnaturally nervous.
050. I once chased a pot-bellied pig through the woods.  Then it chased me.  I climbed onto a tractor to escape.
051. I hate being clean-shaven.
052. I try really hard to be evil, but my 'evil' acts are generally described as 'cute' or 'rude.'
053. I try to be an asshole, but feel really bad when I actually succeed.
054. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.  That's also the definition of 'Duke,' aparently.
055. My step-dad adopted me.  My birth name is really long...as me sometime, and I'll tell it to you.
056. I hate pitbulls, rotweilers, pugs, and various other mean dogs.
057. I messed up my knees pretty bad as a young lad.  Now, they hurt ALL the time.
058. I'm a very dynamic person...you like me, or you dislike me...there is no 'duke? he's ok..."
059. I've played guitar and harmonica and done vocals for several punk rock and folk rock bands (strange mix there, eh?)
060. I once had a blue mowhawk.
061. ...then green spikes.
062. ...then dredlocks.
063. ...then I tried to grow out a mullet, but was forced to cut it by corperate America.
064. The first time I'd ever been on a plane was when the Army shipped me to Basic in Georgia.  I was 24.
065. Since then, I've flown on 4 planes.  One plane never took off (had to wait till the next day to fly out...engine trouble).  Another plane was dis-boarded (is that a word), and then reboarded 4 hours later (again with the engines).  That means, 50% of all flights I've been on have been grounded before take off!  Scary, huh?
066.   I try to hard.  I definately come across as trying to be too nice, or even being fake, but once you get to know me, you realize that that's how I really am.  I'm big on paying compliments.  I guess I just feel that if you have the chance to make someone smile, why waste it.  *insert emo tear*
067. At least half my time online is spent on Myspace.  I have the strange habit of randomly viewing friend's profiles.  Rarely leave comments or anything.  Just view profiles, friends, pictures, comments, etc.  I guess I just wanna see how all the cool people roll.
068. I suck at video games with more that 16-bit graphics.
069. My first vivid memory is watching the Challenger explode.
070. My mom is a saint.  Period.  Talk shit about her, and your ass is laid flat before you even know it.
071. Fetuses (or Feti?) weird me out, man.  They look like aliens.
072. I'd never been west of the Mississippi until I joined the army and got sent to Ft. Lewis.
073. I hate the playa' AND the game.  Dunno why.  Just do.  It's how I roll.
074. I have 2 siblings, 1 niece, and 1 nephew.  All total, that adds up to 6 people.  It's a riddle.  Figure it out.
075. My favorite colors are green and heather grey.
076. I'm from right outside of Columbus, Ohio, but I have nothing but apathy towards the Buckeyes.
077. Places I really want to visit:  Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Antartica, Katmandu (Nepal), the Congo.
078. Places I don't really care to go to:  Canada, Texas.
079. I'm a huge Ernest Hemmingway fan.
080. Heights scare the crap out of me, but I love rock climbing and repelling (sp).
081. I'm a sponge.  I absorb things.  If I hear or read something that interests me, I'll remember it forever.
082. My idea of dressing up is plaid bell bottoms, a belt made of handcuffs, and an old and battered teeshirt.
083. I hate running.  But I also love running.  I guess I'm undecided.
084. I'm a grunt (Infantry).  Hooah, and all that fun stuff.
085. I'm celebate.  Well, I try to be.  Have been for like six months now.  Hardcore, huh?
086. I was a practicing Buddhist for several years.
087. I've performed three weddings in the name of the Great Prophet Ekudabon.
088. I want to one day own and run an organic farm.
089. I enjoy discomfort in a strange and (sort of morbid) way.
090. Kurt Vonnegut is another one of my favorite authors.  Neither he nor Hemmingway have ever written a bad book.
091. I've had the same cell phone company for 7 years.  And I still have my original phone (it still works...I keep it as my back up, cuz I rock like that).
092. I use strange words like r0xx0r and suxx0r in everday conversation.  Oh, and 'prolly.'  And 'whatnot.'
093. I've found the best looking girls tend to be the worst in bed, but I'm still waiting to be proven wrong.  Ok, never mind.  Celebate.
094. I am probably the most loyal person you've ever met.  In relationships, I've never cheated.  If I consider you a friend, consider all your problems solved if you bring them to me.  I'd give you my last dollar, or beat the fuck out of your cheating boyfriend.  Most of you reading this can attest.
095. I've been engaged twice, but never married.
096. I don't separate my clothes when I do laundry.
097. I absolutely refuse to litter.  It makes me feel guilty.
098. I stole my best friend's girl friend back in the day (8th grade).
099. I find humor in damn-near everything.  I'm like a perpetual 5-year-old.
100. I love to draw and paint and write and crap, but I suxx0r at all things art-related.
101. I'm pretty sure 101 is a prime number.
102. I watch chick flicks.  But zombie movies are much cooler.  And vampire movies, mainly the "Blade" series.  And movies about history.  Ok, totally blew this one.
103. I'm an over-achiever.   (up to 103 out of 100, and counting)
104. I'm definately a night person.
105. I love the wilderness, and don't care much for the city.
106. I'm a Leo.  And it fits me well.
107. I do, in fact, have a 'zombie plan' (that one's for courtney).
108. One of my longest, closest friends is cassie, whom i've only met in person one time.
109. I've been getting really bad heartburn lately... :(
110. I think I'm pretty much out of randomness.  I love Jeeps.  I've owned two thus far.
111. I want to learn Farsi.  I'm working on it right now, actually.
112. I make lots of lists.
113.  I suck at spelling.
114.  "I ain't hung like a tic-tac...tic-tacs are hung like ME!"  Is my favorite pickup line.
115.  I'm very organized, but my paperwork and whatnot is always a cluster.
116.  I drink way too much.  And I don't mean too often.  When I wanna get my drunk on, I start with a fifth of 80-proof (usually Jack), and go from there.  151's also a fav.
117.  I generally answer my phone with the command/request/permmissive verb "speak"
