VI things

I'm the kind of guy who laughs menacingly as I delete e-mails that instruct me to send them to three people in the next 10 minutes to prove that I love Jesus. I get a sadistic kick out of going to Snopes.com and bursting the bubble of the poor guy who thought warning us all about an upcoming virus (invariably called "luv bug" or "sweet Jesus" or "hello world") was a matter of life and death. I actually time myself on how quickly I can block a sender who has forwarded a "meme" to me, asking me to fill in my favorite class in high school, my shoe size, and the Disney movie I love the most.

But, the other day Jason tagged me for the 6 Things meme. I don't know Jason that well yet, but what I do know is that he is Kirk-Kluver-cool, and then some, which is sayin' something. So, if it's cool enough for Jason, it's cool enough for me.

Six Things (you might not know about me):

1. I met my wife at summer camp. Eventually that story will make its way on here, but it's kind of a long story so BACK OFF.
2. I had a mullet in 5th and 6th grades. I maintain it was a mini-mullet, and it even bordered on a rattail at times, but Amanda (see #1 above) is more comfortable just calling it a mullet.
3. Capital punishment is one of the only political/moral/religious issues I go back and forth on. I'm still not really sure where I stand, which is very unusual for me.
4. I was one of three captains on the hockey team I played on in high school. I played for the Lincoln Junior Stars, and the team's first season was during my senior year. I also got in the first fight ever in team history, during the second period of the team's first game ever. I was obviously named a captain due to my exceptional leadership skills, levelheadedness, and self-control.
5. I've been baptized twice (once as an infant and again as an adult), though I've rethought my position recently and am now convinced that the first one "stuck." You might think this invalidates point #3 above, but you're wrong. I may have changed my position back and forth, but I've always been very convinced I was right, no matter which side of the issue I was on.
6. The first concert I went to sans a parent or any other authority figure featured No Doubt, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Bush, in March of 1996 at Pershing Auditorium. I had been to a Garth Brooks concert with my aunt several years before, but I'd have to say the Bush show was much better, in its own special way.

There you have it. I'm probably supposed to *tag* someone now, but I think I'll abstain. Baby steps. Baby steps.
