Five Things You May Not Know About Me
Nota Bene: I initially started this blog as a means to work on my writing; to transform (what I think are) my “spectacular” pseudo-intellectual legal writing skills to a more reader-friendly writing style. What has occurred in the interim can only be described as a devolution of artistry on par with Brittney Spears. This site has resulted in nothing more than an amalgamate of incoherent personal rantings and music videos (much like Brittney Spears herself). Now, the ultimate declaration of defeat — with this post, this blog is truly nothing more than “yet another in a long line of self-absorbed ramblings arising from the faceless masses.” Such is life.
With that unnecessarily long preface being said, I have apparently been “tagged” by my friend, the High Priestess Kang, which means that I am “required” (ahem) to tell the 12 people who read the nonsense I write here five (5) things about me which you may not know.
In my pseudo-intellectual mind, this concept is kind of asinine. It is the digital equivalent to a high school homeroom chain-letter, albeit on a much grander scale. Regardless, Kang is a good friend and fellow IJC member, so I owe it to her to follow the rules of the game.
Five (5) Things You May Not Know About Me
- 1. I am left handed, as is my cousin Stephen;
- 2. I once fell about 60 feet free (rock) climbing during college, breaking 3 ribs, fracturing my skull, and shattering my pelvis into 6 pieces;
- 3. I now have epilepsy as a result (Trauma-Induced Seizure Disorder, actually) – thankfully, it is fully controlled via daily medication;
- 4. I didn’t learn how to drive a car until I was 27 years old (I rode motorcycles until then); and
- 5. My favorite place in the United States is probably the Egyptian Room at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (I’ve spent entire days in that room).
That is all. Discuss amongst yourselves.

So basically what your saying is that you lost your underwear or you didn’t start out with any. Your Mom taught you better so I don’t think your on par with Brittney.
60 feet!!! (damn)
I like your blog. It makes me look up words like “amalgamate”. However I think you like “pseudo” a little to much
“Go Colts”
Be safe…
Thanks very much Lora. I appreciate the compliments. As for the “pseudo” thing, it was a bit of an inside joke, as I was making fun of the fact that TK from over at Uncooked Meat called me a pseudo-intellectual yesterday – which I promptly looked up in the dictionary.
Alright already, I take back the damn pseudo-intellectual crack. You’re not an intellectual at all, surfer-boy.
Jesus man, you’re lucky to be alive.
“incoherent personal rantings and music videos (much like Brittney Spears herself)” PRICELESS Matt!
fractured skull that would explain everything! LOL Damn your lucky to be alive, well I’m sure glad you are, I get to be amused by your “self-absorbed ramblings”!!!
I have epilepsy as well, which also might have been brought on by a fall. I was about six years old and fell off a jungle gym at school, which resulted in pretty bad concussion and skull fracture. Unfortunately my seizures are too sporadic and infrequent to be controlled with medication. They always seem to occur the most inopportune times. The last one happened the day before my mom’s wedding.
*giggles*
This is really cool reading the five things no one knows. Even more bizarre is seeing how much we all have in common (the phorum dwellers). I mean…it’s really bizarre. O_O
And…I take a daily dose of Lamictal to control my shaking fits. I have been told I make an excellent martini (shaken; not stirred) when not on the drugs.
I know what you mean about the Egyptian Room. I’m the same way whenever the King Tut or Rameses exhibits come to town.
