Me 101

This list was originally posted here.  It has since had a few small updates, some marked, some not.

101 Peter Parkour Factoids

  1. I don’t have a favorite color.
  2. I don’t have any tattoos.  I was consider getting one, but the guy that was gonna do it shot my niece, and is in jail now.  I haven’t given it much thought since then.  Maybe some day.
  3. I don’t have any piercings, and I don’t have any plans to get any.  Not my thing.
  4. I’ve never broken a bone.  I try to avoid pain when ever possible.
  5. I’ve never had a major surgery.
  6. I’m living proof you don’t have to eat your fruits and vegetables.
  7. I had a vasectomy at the age of 20.
  8. I had a vasectomy reversal at the age of 34.
  9. I am totally hooked on the show “Heroes”.
  10. Beer gives me a headache. One is all it takes.
  11. I am addicted to Pepsi. My one and only true addiction.
  12. I hate labels to be placed on me. “White” and “male” is acceptable.
  13. I used to draw all the time, and now rarely if ever.
  14. I’m not sure I’m passionate about anything.  UPDATE: It’s been brought to my attention recently that I’m passionate about EVERYTHING.  That’s why I couldn’t think of ONE single thing.  I’m just not a banner waving, bumper sticker sporting, speech making, cause driven type of passionate guy.
  15. I used to collect comic books. I had a $50 a month budget.  My collection took up most of my walk-in closet before I started selling it off.
  16. I used to collect action figures obsessively. I just knew I could retire on their value.  I’ve already sold most of my collection and I came out on the short end of the stick.  So much for retirement.
  17. I still collect the occasional action figure. Luke Skywalker & The Thing are the latest.
  18. I have a huge collection of Lego building blocks. I still play with them from time to time.
  19. I cry during movies. “The Notebook”, understandable, but “Lilo & Stitch”?
  20. I don’t like stupid movies like “Airplane”, “The Naked Gun”, Spaceballs”…
  21. I do like “Dumb & Dumber” but it’s not like the above movies.  The two main characters are dumb, but the movie is not. :mrgreen:
  22. I like A-1 Steak Sauce on steak, hamburger, even straight.
  23. I love boysenberry syrup, but it’s hard to find, and expensive when you do, but sooo worth it.
  24. I’m not very fond of kids, but they love me for some reason.
  25. I’m not a morning person, but I love breakfast.
  26. Due to #25 McDonald’s really pisses me off. Some are now open 24/7 but you still can’t score a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit unless it’s breakfast time.  Ronald is a fuckin’ tard.
  27. I spend way too much time on the internet, but feel like I don’t get enough time on the internet.
  28. I suck at making small talk.
  29. Once in a conversation I suck at ending it.
  30. I’m eating cold Papa John’s pizza as I’m making this list. UPDATE: I’m wishing I had some cold Papa John’s pizza as I update this list.
  31. Pepperoni and mushrooms are the only topping I usually like on a pizza.  Extra sauce is good too, but this tends to bug others.  The sauce is what makes or breaks a pizza.
  32. I like using my cruise control to stay right at the speed limit, even in town.  It took some getting used to, but it makes for a very relaxing drive, and no worries about tickets.
  33. If it can’t be made in the microwave chances are I don’t make it.  If it can be made in the toaster I may reconsider.
  34. I don’t keep snacks or desserts in my house, because I’ll eat them until they are gone.  I don’t need the temptation.
  35. I’ve had my driver’s license suspended three times, but have a spotless driving record now.  95% of all my tickets came from speeding.
  36. I was once asked by a police officer “what’s the big hurry”? I told him “I’m not in a hurry, I just like to drive fast”.  Can you believe he still gave me a ticket?  No points for honesty?  Brutal!
  37. I have the utmost respect for women, but that doesn’t stop the dirty thoughts.
  38. I once had an underage girlfriend (she was 17, I was 20/21), but didn’t know this until years later when she was of legal age. Start checking ID guys, really.  I only found out when she came into a club I was working at, checking ID.  I should have started that practice long before.
  39. I don’t like picking favorites, but in the case of orange Kool-Aid, I will make an exception. Ice cold orange Kool-Aid is the bomb. Way better than the other flavors.
  40. I’ve never played an instrument, but if I was going to it would be the guitar.
  41. I’ve never been big on sports, playing or watching, with the exception of fights (watching only).
  42. I may forget, but I refuse to forgive. I’ll be pissed off at people years later and not even know why. Had to have been pretty bad if I’m still pissed. ;)
  43. My spelling is horrible. Spell Check is my friend.
  44. I’m dieing for a Pepsi right now.
  45. Eight hours of sleep is always my goal, but rarely do I reach that goal.
  46. I don’t tan, I only burn.
  47. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
  48. Blogging cuts into my porn time, but I don’t mind. P
  49. I can’t see a frog (or toad) and not pick it up.
  50. I like to keep things simple, but they never are.
  51. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit me. I have wide feet.
  52. I like wearing a watch, but I don’t. I tend to break them.
  53. I’m left handed, but throw and bat right handed.
  54. I’ve never been outside of the United States, not including trips just inside Mexico.
  55. I’ve only been married once despite what my ex-girlfriend tells people. She’s nuts.
  56. I’m growing a beard for the first time despite it’s scraggly, patchy appearance.
  57. I’ve never been to New York City, but I’ve driven past.
  58. I’ve never been to Washington D.C., but I’ve driven past.
  59. I eat my hamburgers from the outside in, saving that center bite for last.
  60. I’ve been know to throw away half a steak cutting away the fat. I just want the meat.  I try to avoid steaks with bones too.
  61. My favorite part of the chicken is the nugget. Next the strip. Then the breast. That’s it, with the exception of the occasional heart.
  62. Peppermint schnapps is my drink of choice. I can get fucked up and have minty fresh breath. P Vodka, eat your heart out.
  63. I love the feel of a Q-tip in my ears.
  64. Having my back picked/groomed monkey style makes me feel loved.
  65. I find women in sweat pants sexy.
  66. I like joking with people, but I don’t like being joked with. What’s up with that???
  67. I’ve been cursed with ingrown toe nails all my life. Having my big toe nails removed has crossed my mind.
  68. I stopped biting my nails when I was about 20, but one hangnail and I’ll chew them all off. I try to stay on top of keeping them trimmed.
  69. The first thing I notice about a woman is her face. Is that so wrong?
  70. The second thing I notice about a woman is everything else. P
  71. I’m a picker. Be it bumps, scabs, or my nose, I’ve got it down to an art/science.
  72. I am such a momma’s boy.
  73. I love sweet crunchy cereals with ice cold milk. Cap N Crunch and Apple Jacks are at the top of the list.
  74. I like just about anything with blue berries in it, or anything blue berry flavored, but I don’t care for blue berries.
  75. I put the seat down without being told. A true lady’s man. ;)
  76. I had sex with my best friend’s girlfriend when I was 18. That choice haunts me still.
  77. I’m not very social, but I play it off quite well. People don’t notice I’m shy either.
  78. I give everyone respect until they lose it.
  79. I don’t trust anyone until they gain it.
  80. I can be trusted to keep a secret.
  81. I may actually be honest and truthful to a fault. I refuse to cheat at anything.
  82. I like things to be orderly in my life, but I don’t want to do it.
  83. I am so lazy, I make lazy people feel good about themselves.
  84. I wanted to be Spider-Man when I grew up. I still do.
  85. Brahnamin (SkyWindows’ hubby) has referred to me as “Spidey” on a couple of occasions, and I liked it. P
  86. I like to think I’m funny. People like to laugh at me. It works out pretty good.
  87. I want to go to a porn convention, mostly to ogle porn chicks, but also to pitch my movie idea “Hairy Pooter & The Sorcerer’s Bone”. ;)
  88. I like eating hot/spicy foods, but I’ve found that to be a dangerous practice out on the road.
  89. I’d rather hear music on the radio than in person.
  90. I don’t like live recordings/concerts where the singer changes the way they sing their songs.
  91. Not much scares me, but flying insects freak me out.  In the vicinity of my head in particular.
  92. My biggest fear is looking stupid in front of people, but it doesn’t stop me.
  93. I went trick-or-treating door to door for candy until I was 18.
  94. I’m not a dancer, publicly, but I can dance.
  95. I don’t own an mp-3 player, but I bought my mom one.
  96. I’m not good at calling or writing people. I prefer face to face communication.
  97. I am not an ass kisser/brown noser. It might make life easier, but I refuse.
  98. In Jr. High my science teacher said if I didn’t finish my report I could not dissect a frog. I never did finish that report. Poor frogs.
  99. I want to own my own business/be my own boss, but I think I’m too lazy to supervise myself.
  100. I prefer boxer-briefs to boxers or briefs. Boxer-briefs are the best of both worlds.
  101. I sometimes wonder if I compliment my wife/tell her I love her, too much. She doesn’t think so. I guess I’ll take her word for it.

    I love your list. It tells me so much about you. I have comments about all of them but that would take too long. Of course #72 is my favorite. And as far as #101. You can never tell your wife you love her too much. I liked # 95 too. Reading this makes me miss my son. But at least I know he is doing OK. Every Sunday night we used to watch “Entourage” together on HBO. I know not living in this town is best for him but he is a very affectionate person and would always give me lots of hugs. My daughter gives me a hug every night before she goes to bed. But it’s a quick hug. My son’s hugs were like bear hugs, like he would never let go. I loved them and haven’t had one since Christmas. Did you ever think your list would make an old Momma get teary eyed. I cry at movies too and Hallmark adds at Christmas.

    Good old #72, it’s true. I’m out of the closet and proud to be a MOMMA’s BOY. ;) You’re such a sweetie Joan. No, I didn’t expect my list to be a tear jerker. Sorry :? Hallmark ads too? Dang. You’re a softy too. :mrgreen: I’m glad you liked the list.

    Great list! #23 ~ We used to pick them every year and my mom made syrup an jelly.
    #31 ~ Me too on the extra sauce.
    #43 yep & yep
    #47 Your lucky wife!
    #100 Me too they are so comfy to wear around the house. I have even wore my hubby’s while out mowing the lawn. :D

    I am so jealous of you and your home made syrup and jelly. *drools*
    #31 Extra sauce, YES! I’m not alone in this world. ;)
    #43 I think my spelling is getting better every day with all this writing (well not so much lately), but Spell Check still comes in handy quite often.
    #47 Yeah, my wife’s glad she doesn’t have touch her tongue to my nose. :P
    #100 I tend to wear mine with pants. ;)

    Wonderful Spidey! I think you should take time to draw more. Stay off the A1, you’ll end up at A1-Anonymous. #32, you are the only other person in the world that can relate to me on this and I LOVE YOU FOR IT! I’m also a lefty but throw and bat with my right, and sweat pants sexy? That’s a new one!

    Am I the only one buying A1 by the gallon? Anyone… Anyone… Hmmm… :?

    YES! Sweat pants can be sexy. I’ll squeeze in a little drawing when I can. I want to put up my own personal art gallery in the future. I’ve got scannin’ to do when I get home. :)

    Gawd. Obviously no 43 is also one I can relate to. Please ignore all the horrible mistakes of the previous comment.

    Mistakes? I don’t see no stinkin’ mistakes. :mrgreen:

    Enjoyed reading this list again — I know I’ve looked at it before cause I remember some stuff. This time I had to say that I so completely agree with you about McDonald’s — the Egg McMuffin should be available at all times! And as for the pickin’ thing — the only flaw in my husband is his good skin. Sigh. Isn’t that crazy?

    I’m glad you enjoyed the list enough for another go. ;) And yeah, what good is 24/7 if you can’t order what you want? As for your hubby, I guess there could be worse flaws in a man. Consider yourself lucky. :) Perhaps if I’m ever in your neck of the woods, I’ve always had this fantasy where two girls are picky my back at the same time. :P Something to think about. :mrgreen:

    As for Number 14, you are very fortunate. Life as a flat-liner is so, shall we say, so-so?

    Loved reading your list…thank you.

    Thank you, Rina V. I’m glad you enjoyed the list, and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit. :)

    Just having a lil nose around and I thought i’d say hi. so….’hi!’ :) Liking ur blog so far

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ‘Heroes’ too and i am just toodling round on the net till it starts at 9:30.

    Howdy GYL. :) A fellow Heroes fan. Is it just me, or did season three start out a bit overly crazy? Although it does seem to have mellowed a bit, and I’m back to loving it as always. :D But that first episode or two, what the heck??? Anyway, thanks for stopping in and taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoyed your tour. ;)

    It is not just you – it has started pretty full on. All this freakin time-travel. And characters are dropping off, popping in and out. Whew – it is tiring. But here is Australia we are only up to about the….4th episode of season 3. N e hoo. I enjoyed lasts nights episode (Mr Petrelli is alive – argh!) and look forward to next week.

    Ciao for now! :)

    The part that “bugs” me the most is Dr. Mohinder Suresh. Talk about a 180 degree character flip-flop. Hey, here’s one for you, if you remember, or if you’ve gown back and watched season one again. I one of the first episodes, if not the very first episode, Mrs. Patrelli gets picked by the police for shoplifting a pair of socks! What the hell was that all about??? How does that even fit in to any part of the story??? I wonder if they’ll ever bring that point up in the future to explain it. :P

    Anyway, take care, GYL, and Happy Halloween! :D

    THAT is exactly what shat me – Mohinder going psycho! You know, I have got Season 1 in a box set and I DID watch it but I can’t recall that bit for the life of me! Should watch it again.

    We don’t really celebrate Halloween here in Oz…..which made me feel reeeeally bad when the lil Vampire across the road came trick or treating. Mean bitch that I am had no lollies and could only offer ‘aw, you look so cute!’ N e hoo, hope you have a good one :)

    Yeah, Mohinder, the voice of reason MY ASS! :P

    I can’t believe you’re down there crushing the hearts of poor little vampires. :neutral: Brutal. You say “We don’t really celebrate Halloween…” but I’m pretty sure that little “sucker” would disagree. ;) Hehehe, poor guy.

    I got even less trick or treaters here than you did. I live outside of town, and people tend to stay to themselves out here. Probably due to most people having fenced in yards and dogs, and some of those fences don’t stay closed, allowing dogs to roam. :?

    My Halloween was very uneventful. I was supposed to attend a birthday party, but due to family drama I went the “no show” route. Ended up just kicking back at home and watching TV. Boring yes, but it was the cheap/safe thing to do. :)

    Love, Love, Love your writing!

    11. I’m a Pepsi Girl all the way.

    16. My son is 25 and still has most all his action figures tucked safely away somewhere … except for the Ninja Turtles. He had this great idea of parachuting them (with plastic shopping bags under their arms) off the 3rd floor of our apartment. Tragic ending for most of them.

    18. Have Legos too because they’re fricking expensive and still fun to play with.

    72. Mama Boys Rule!!! My daughter-in-law thanks me all the time because he is so thoughtful. Be proud, Peter!

    90. If I’m gonna spend a fortune to attend a concert, they better damn well sing the way they recorded it! Except for the idiots that sound good on CD but suck in person because of Pro Tools software in the studio covering up crappy intonation.

    101. There is no such thing as too much!

    Adding you to my blogroll …

    Wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :) I only wish I gave you more writing to like. I should write more, but my heart rarely seems to be in it lately. Thank you so very much for the add. I’m so glad to hear you like what you see. Thank you so very much for your kind words, for taking the time to check me out, and for taking the time to leave this super awesome comment. It really made my day. ;) I’ll be checking you out shortly, and it may take me a while, but one good link deserves another in my book. :mrgreen: Oh, and those Legoes… very expensive, but so worth it. :P

    I just read this again and was LOL at the porno convention movie title suggestion… You like to eat your burgers around the edges first and save the middle for last? I do that w/ Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, but I have my huz eat around the edged and enjoy the middle for myself. Wanna hear something BIZARRE. When I was at my mom’s the other day she commented on my WonderWoman key chain… I had to remind her about how when I was a little girl, she told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up- I use to spin in a circle with my arms out and tell her I was going to be WonderWoman when I grew up. LOL! I find myself buying WonderWoman shit whenever I see it. I have a teensy little collection going.
    P.S. Still using the cruise control and going strong, not a ticket for speeding EVER. Yeah baby! People, take notes!

    You go girl… WonderGirl… WonderWoman. ;) I’m still cruisin’ too. They can’t fuck with me either. Do you know who the fuck I am? :P WonderMan? NO!!! I’m Peter Parkour. Duh. :twisted: hehehe.
