Taking a break from the normal rigamarole of this blog (does anyone use that word anymore? Well, they should), I thought I would take this opportunity at a very slow day at work to list some very simple truths. Cold hard facts. As I see them, anyway, so your mileage may vary. If you want to know something about me? Here's a good start. Apologies ahead of time to my Dad, "The Jerry", as it may list something about a party. Maybe. Oh, and you won't find any silly things like "my dad could beat up your dad." Okey dokey, in no particular order:
•Black is my favorite color (we'll start with the easy ones). No, I'm not emo & no, I'm not a goth guy...I just dig black. If I were a Superhero, my costume would be black.
• If you read something on this list and automatically assume it's a slam on you personally, there's a 99.9% chance that it's not. We're not talking about you, we're talking about me here.
• "You" are still fuming over that last point. Truth.
• Joe Montana is the GREATEST quarterback who EVER played the game.
• Tom Brady just might be better.
• Justin Parr's party in his garage back in High School was the greatest. party. ever. And even though she's moved on to much better things than hanging out with me, I'm pretty sure she remembers it fondly too.
• Reference to above: Nope, not talking about the first person who enters your mind when you think of my high school years.
• And no, it wasn't THAT. Get your mind out of the gutter!
• We burned the pictures from that party. Truth.

• I have regretted the weeks following that party.
• I wish I still had those pictures. Truth.
• Thomas Wilson is the greatest friend a guy ever asked for.
• I miss my dog, Sindy, who entered our lives when I was 10 and left us when I was 22.
• We had to euthanize her because she had a pretty bad stroke. The night before, she was obviously scared and in pain. I stayed with her, huddled on the floor, until the sun came up.
• The memory of that night still makes me cry. Truth.
• I never feel more ashamed than when I have been forced to ask my Dad for financial help.
• My parents got along so badly near the end, I actually told my dad one night that they should just get divorced and be done with it.
• I love Coors Lite from the tap, but can't stand it in a bottle or a can.

•...but NFL football is on Sunday, so I don't.
• But I really should in the offseason :-)
•I have a completely irrational fear of water.

• I wish some people would check their Facebook messages more often!
• I wish some people would just get the hell off Facebook! You're annoying and you didn't even know it?!?!?
• Obviously, I'm not talking about anyone on my friends list who is reading this. Silly.

• I try to type grammatically correct, with correct punctuation, while texting.

• I miss my Camaro that I crashed on Christmas, even though it was starting to fall apart.
• I liked Britney's "Toxic" album. I know, I know, but we're talking truths.
• If you want to know me, the REAL me, all you've got to do is ask.
• If you combined the cumulative knowledge of me from everyone who knows me, you'd see a pretty decent picture of who I really am. But it would take everyone, because nobody has the full picture by themselves.
• I consider it an insult when people treat this job like a joke when I've dedicated my life to being the best.
• I've been held at gunpoint, and it was the training from Jay Pitt that saved my life.
• Yes, Dad, I agree that Jay is a little goofy.
