Something About 5s
10 Years Ago I:
Was in my sophomore year of high school at St. Eds
Was part way through a major personality transition
I drastically changed from introvert to extrovert
Was better than a 4.0 student
Thugged around talking ebonics and sagging my Fubu pants.
Weighed 125 pounds.
5 Years Ago:
Moved to New Jersey after my junior year of college at CWRU
I worked a co-op job at [COMPANY] 50-60 hours a week in Princeton
Visited New York many times
Had lots of friends vacation out to New Jersey to visit me
Frat buddies got me banned from the Princeton campus (although I might have helped)
Realized I was actually really good at a real job (unlike school work)
Gained 25 pounds in 10 months to weigh 195.
1 Year Ago
Was enjoying/dealing with my first year of marriage
Moved to North Olmsted and rented a house
Was working at the CWRU School of Medicine
Weighed 185...but this time I've been lifting and it's mostly muscle
Yesterday
Worked at 4TechWork on the SecuReach project
Lifted at Ballys on my shoulders and back
Ate pasta and salad for dinner
Watched "24" with Kelly
Geared up for our "Pre-Drywall" meeting this week about our new Ryan Home we are building!
Thought about the driveway I would shovel tomorrow (we drove over it too many times to count already).
Weighed 190, but that's because I have winter blubber sitting on my belly.
Now the 5's
5 songs I know all the words to:
Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice Baby
Wrecks-n-Effects - Rumpshaker
Any grunge-era song (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP, etc)
Any Metallica song
Banana Phone (Ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring Banana Phone!)
5 Favorite Books:
Who cares about books? I dunno, I like most fiction books I read. I'll just toss out the last few books I've read: Waking The Dead, Chronicles of Narnia, Wild At Heart, Lord of the Rings, Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen, and some book by Larry Tomzak.
5 things I'd buy with a million dollars:
A million dollars is not really all that much...but I could make it work.
1. A nice house with a giant yard. (I want to host get-togethers, play sports, etc)
2. Audi A6 (and a TT for Kelly)
3. Sorry, I'd actually invest most of it...
4. Some charities where I could have some control over the use of my donated money...and my church
5. Some remote controlled mice. (I think I could get it done with a million dollars)
5 Places I'd Run Away to:
Carribean
Great Britain
Australia
Colorado
San Diego
5 Things I'd Never Wear:
This is tough, cuz I mean...never? That rules out pretty much any jewelry, girls clothing, bikini style underwear, and anything obnoxious. So what would I actually NEVER wear?
That lotion that Kelly puts on that makes my eyes burn and makes me sneeze
A dress slip
V-neck undershirt
"Toe socks"
Pre-owned tighty-whities
5 Toys:
Computer, snowboard, Xbox, frisbee, over 50 bouncy balls
5 Hobbies:
Snowboarding, Listening to MASSIVE amounts of music, movie watching (between 5 and 10 a week!), downloading stuff, programming/digital art. Oh, and I enjoy lifting.
5 Greatest Joys:
Jesus, Kelly (wife), my family, my friends, my job ¶ 10:20 AM

Hey, don't worry, Dave. I've been busy lately. I haven't had any time to think up interesting blog posts lately. This can be of interest because many people didn't know I got banned from Princeton and things like that.
my favorite lines:
"was enjoying/dealing with my first year of marriage" ...interesting wording there, jay.
"things i'd never wear...v-neck undershirt." ...somehow, i think i've seen you in one of those.
"toys...50 bouncy balls" what DO you do with those???

We'll deal with the issue of why you got banned in a bit. But first.... What were you even doing on the Princeton campus, anyway?
ooooo - I'd like to hear the story of how you got banned from Princeton!
Maybe a useless post, but thanks for playing along - and hey, I did learn a thing or two about ya...
I'm with ya on the wording for the first year of marriage - mine was DEALING/enjoying - but mostly dealing (our first year was somethin else - YIKES!! Not really personality differences as much as what was happening outside of our marriage but effecting our marriage non-the-less) I can truly say, it does get better and better :)
Okay I know what an Audi A6 is, but what's a "TT for Kelly"???

Oh geez. Looks like a bunch of cats have been let out of their bags. I might have to explain some of these things a little bit further.
Okay, I don't understand how my own brain works...but somehow I just reminisced about building cabins with Lincoln Logs as a kid.
dangit sammon. i used potato-headed already, and now you're using it for fake kimber, and people are going to think fake kimber is me.
Red Foreman once said, "It's about the rules. And without the rules we might as well all be up in a tree
flinging our crap at each other."
Apparently we don't have any rules around here...
