7 things you dont know about me because you asked for it, Kendra. 1. I prefer soft, chewy foods to hard, crunchy ones. I dont understand people who like kettle chips and peanuts. Why do you hate your teeth, gums, and roofs of your mouths so much? 2. Almost every experience Ive had with big dogs, dating back to my childhood dog Princess, has been negative. Princess growled at me every time I walked in the room and bit me and my dad on several occasions. I dont mean bit during play, I meant bit while I was trying to pet her or walk her. We got rid of Princess in favor of Remy, a bichon frise, a small, adorable lap dog. At the time I felt sad for Princess, but looking back I couldnt care less about what happened to her. That damn dog gave me nightmares and was no ones friend. Almost every big dog Ive encountered since Ive found to be too rambunctious, destructive, or just annoying. I infinitely prefer small dogs or cats. Almost every small dog has been lovable, easy to care for, and chill. This is not to say there are not exceptions on both sides of the size spectrum. Ill never own another dog by choice because I cried like a baby the day Remy died. Seriously, it would have been embarrassing to watch if anyone else had been there to see it. Open sobbing, screaming, cursing God, breaking stuff, the works. But I had my heart ripped out that day and Ill never voluntarily open myself to that kind of pain again. 3. It doesnt take much at all to make me happy. A comfy place to sleep, good food, and good company. Yes having my own jet, my own waterside and to be friends with James Cameron would be nifty but give me a hammock, a cheeseburger and a girl to watch the sunset with and Im as happy as a pig in shit. In fact, I think we can all take a lesson from pigs. Theyre happy in SHIT, guys. Why do we need the latest console and the latest smart phone? 4. I have to consciously stop myself from openly mocking or tearing down the concepts of religion and spirituality on a regular basis. Not because I dont think they should be openly mocked or torn down, but my issues with religion and spirituality are my issues and I blame certain aspects of each concept for certain problems in my life. But having a god or guiding force in ones life has been a great comfort and help to many of my friends and also to complete strangers and I wont begrudge them that. I just refuse to live my life by anyones arbitrary rules and I think that many organizations pervert the concept of God by attempting to assert control over their followers. And when control becomes more important than help and love, I think thats wrong. 5. Ive been trying to change and improve my life for so long in pursuit of things that Im so sure I want but every time I get smarter, stronger or better, it seems that what I want gets a little further away. I moved to Gainesville some might say for the wrong reasons but even though I didnt get everything I wanted, Ive gained so much that I wasnt expecting and that I am eternally grateful for. I feel that this is a recurring motif in my life: I want something, I set out to get it, I dont get it, I get something I wasnt expecting, and find happiness or comfort there. Which is not to say I settle. If I had settled, the motif would hardly be recurring. There are times Ive thought about quitting comedy and just focusing on goals that are not easy, but simpler and dont require as much mental energy to achieve. But I dont want to quit. I still want what I want and Im going to get it some day. 6. I will defend things I love in the face of overwhelming disdain from others and even some of my own disdain. No matter how bad the movies and tv show were, I still think Highlander is the greatest core concept for a story ever. In fact, I think it would be better as a tabletop RPG or an MMORPG than it ever was as a movie. Sevendust may not be the most groundbreaking or genre-defining band of all time, but I think they are the best band of all time. And though I cant forgive or forget the things my former best friend did, I believe that at his core hes a good man and will some day make many people happy, hopefully himself among that number. 7. I feel like a doormat sometimes and I feel like I easily slide into the position of Omega Wolf. I hate it. Im tired of taking other peoples shit. Especially when they dont offer to help or ask why Im having a problem, they just lay blame at my doorstep. If you like this status Ill give you a number and you have to write that many things I dont know about you.
