25 Things

I rarely get asked to do these, and then got 3 of them 4 of them 5 of them in about 2 weeks on Facebook. I seriously doubt I have 25 readers, but I thought I would post this here. If you read this, you’ve been tagged, and I want to hear your responses (seriously, I’m not kidding).

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. So that’s what I did. If you do it, post it on your blog, and send me the link so I can read it.

1. I may not always show it, but Tamika is the best thing to have ever happen to me. She is amazing.

2. I want Zerflin to grow big enough to take care of my family, and other families too. As big as it will go.

3. I am frustrated it that it’s impossible to live on one income right now.

4. When I was little, I was proud to be American. When I left the village, I realized how much hurt Americans have caused. I’m regaining some of that feeling from childhood…

5. I’ve never been off this continent and I want to go so badly.

6. I am afraid of being in a place where I’m not experiencing culture shock.

7. I never feel as peaceful as I do when I am in the forest.

8. Macaroni is the best food man ever created. Cheese and hot dogs go well with it.

9. Caribou meat is the best food God ever created. Cooked in a stew all day long is the best way to have it.

10. I desperately miss being around my friends.

11. Growing up, all I read was Science Fiction from the 50’s and 60’s, usually about aliens or robots who were outsiders from society. Something felt familiar about their culture shock. Now I read a lot of history and novels by and about ethnic minorities.

12. I am disappointed that my degree really means nothing to my profession. I am disappointed that getting my masters won’t help me in my career. I am disappointed that getting a masters costs more than I can afford anyway. I am disappointed, because I love school.

13. I am shy. Any extroverted tendencies you see in me are all acting, lies, and wishful thinking.

14. Today, Robert Miles, George Winston, Chopin and Sugar Ray are my musical heroes.

15. Every artist of every genre has at least one good song that I’ll enjoy. But stuff with a good harmony and funky beat are my favourites.

16. I really worry that I’m spread out too thin. Sometimes I think that I might be better off if I JUST focused on being an Illustrator, Designer, Photographer, Writer or Musician.

17. I have a novel in the works.

18. I hate sitting at a desk all day. I wish there was a job where I worked in the forest for one week and worked designing the next.

19. If I offended you, made you angry, frustrated you, or if you felt like I snubbed you, and I find out about it, I am instantly hurt and try and make amends.

20. I have no tolerance for those who pick on the defenseless. I have spent most of my life defending them.

21. I do my best to follow these three: The 10 Commandments, The Knights Code of Chivalry, and The Seven Virtues of Bushidō.

22. I love it when people own my art; so I try to make it as inexpensive as possible. It doesn’t seem to help.

23. I was in fist-fights and tussles almost every day in highschool, and had very very few friends until I moved to the United States.

24. I speak 4 languages, and bits and pieces of 3 more. I want to learn more.

25. It’s not easy, but I love being a father.

Your turn!
