1 Here are a few things you might not know about me:
2 If the person behind me in the supermarket has a one to 200 ration of his or her food items to mine, I will consistently ask them if they would like to go ahead of me in the line.
3 Well over 80% of the time I park somewhere, someone pulls either in or out in the space immediately next to me, despite the odds. I have witnesses.
4 I'm awesome at catching sets of keys.
5 Given time, I'm an extraordinary cook. My favorite chefs of all time are Julia Child and James Beard.
6 I know who shot JFK, and why. And I could prove it.
7 I constantly goof on stupidity. The other day I heard some guy say, "I'm not EVEN gonna lie, I..." Dude. If you have to preface a sentence with "I'm not EVEN gonna lie..." you are telling everyone and his brother this: "I usually lie all the time, but THIS time, I'm not EVEN gonna lie."
8 I can't make an egg roll to save my life.
9 I make GREAT Mexican food, GREAT Japanese food, GREAT Italian food, but an Asian food I am all thumbs. I have never made lasagna.
10 I know how to make an AWESOME menudo, and an even AWESOMER posole.
11 I can't talk on the telephone. I stumble and have major brain erasure.
12 I can't leave good telephone messages.
13 I secretly trap speeders coming up on my right, behind gasoline trucks, just to slow them down.
14 I tailgate tailgaters, for a few seconds, but when realize I'm being as stupid as them, I become normal again.
15 I know that Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most emo, insecure morons who ever penned a beautiful poem.
16 I'm a Deadhead.
17 I think Meg Whitman looks eerily like Benjamin Franklin. Helene first pointed that out to me, and now I goof on it constantly. I'm now convinced she does that on purpose so people associate her with money.
18 I'm anti-Boy Scout, even though I was one.
19 When I am in the Sierra, I fear chipmunks ten times more than I fear bears.
20 I saw Journey for free in Golden Gate Park before they became famous.
21 Keith Hernandez introduced me to Lou Brock.
22 I once made over $2500 in two days at a Rolling Stones concert. They paid us in cash. I went home with an accordion of hundreds, fifties, and twenties.
23 I believe strongly that there is no such thing as a coincidence.
24 I also believe that nobody could win an argument.
25 I don't believe people choose to be gay any more than people choose to be hetero.
26 I have faith in nearly everybody, which I know is eternally stupid.
27 I was my high school Senior Class President.
28 I had a lead in one college play, the only lead I ever had in my short acting career.
29 I didn't know squat about technical theatre when I was in high school.
30 I went to Capuchino High School in the now famous San Bruno.
31 When my sister Linda was a Junior, she had all the football players, cheerleaders, and athletes over at our house once a week to paint posters and do school spirit stuff. I painted the "hoop" that the football team smashed through each week.
32 Despite the assumptions, I was never a hippy. I saw myself as a sort of Zen intellectual, albeit pseudo.
33 I'm eternally in love with Audrey Hepburn.
34 Ones and nines play a significant part in my life. Today is 10/19/10. The Giants' game starts at...1:19 today. ; ) <--------sideways smiley guy. Jonathan Cain of Journey is a huge Giants' fan and yesterday announced he is not going to sue that guy for stealing 'Don't Stop Believing." Matt Cain pitches today.
35 I got hired as a Drama guy because on my resume, under "Hobbies" I had put "bicycling, hiking, drama, journalism, baseball..." etc.
36 My first directing gig was ironically at Mills High School, Capuchino's arch rival. They hired me because drama was my "hobby", not because I knew Yeats backwards and forwards.
37 I never was taught anything about Shakespeare in high school.
38 I lived around twelve miles from Candlestick Park, and worked at the ball park since age seventeen.
39 I lived most of my life in a house with three women and me. My Dad worked all day, so that didn't really count. I am convinced that there has never been a day in my life when I haven't pissed off a woman, beginning when I was first born and peed in Linda's eye.
40 I'm convinced that a woman will be the death of me.
41 I'm frightened of Lincoln.
42 Well, that's a bunch of useless trivia, but it was fun to bring to you on this, the day that will become one of the greatest in Giants' history.
43 Hope you enjoyed it.
44 Have a GREAT day, and GO GIANTS!!!!
45 Peace.
