I enjoy lists. Especially lists where I can talk about myself.

Blatantly stolen from Beth's Blog of Nothingness

70 THINGS ABOUT ME.

1. DO YOU SNORE?
A little. It's not bad. How do I know? Cause I had roommate who'd record me while I was sleeping.

Random - like everything else in my life - it happened in 8th Grade Algebra I class while the teacher was passing out midterm grades. It was great. Mainly because it was the girl I wanted my first kiss to come from. My 12 year old mind was on cloud 9 the rest of the day.

Top 5 Hardest Things To Find In Hotels

5) Light Switches / Knobs on Lamps - Who's bright idea was it to put the light switches behind the door?
4) Thermostat - Sometimes freezing is better than putting in the effort to find the damn thing
3) Electrical Outlets - We've all had to plug up the cell phone in the bathroom at one point or another
2) Utinsils - They give you about 6 different glasses to drink water out of, coffee pots, microwaves, tea, coffee, etc... Do they give you a plastic spoon to stir all that stuff up with? Nope.
1) The "Shower Activator" - I've been in rooms where the best and the brightest have stayed and its cut our butt many-a-times trying to figure out how to work the damn shower

Top 5 Funk Artists

5T) The Ohio Players
5T) The Gap Band
4) Rick James
3) Prince
2) James Brown
1) George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars (Parliament Funkadelic)

Honorable Mention: Dr. Dre*

*Before you go "Dre? Terence are you crazy?" go listen to "The Chronic." Not only can you hear the strong influence (read: samples...) of Parliament, but Dre's actually spoken on it. Which is cool. Dre's "G-Funk" introduced funk to a whole new generation.

Top 5 Flowers

5) Chrysanthemums
4) Tulips
3) Yellow Roses
2) Gerbera Daisies
1) Lilacs

Top 5 All Star Festivites

5) National Hockey Leage: NHL All Star Game, Skills Challenge, Rookie Game - This whole event would be cooler if they could make up their damn mind on the format. Defending Champs v. League All Stars, East v. West, USA v. the World, North America v. the World, no game due to the Olympics (2006), a half-assed game due to the Olympics (2002).

4) NASCAR: Nextel Cup All Star Challenge @ Lowe's Motor Speedway - I don't watch NASCAR, so I have no clue what happens at this event outside of the main race. But ya know what, I like it. I think its because all the cars have new "skins." And that in itself is enough to get me to watch it for at least an hour or so.

3) World Wrestling Entertainment: Fan Axxess Weekend, WrestleMania Recap, the Slammys, Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, WrestleMania. Eventhough the WWE doesn't have an "all-star" break this is as close as you're going to get. Packed with wall-to-wall nostalgia, this is the time of the year that makes every WWE fan tingle inside.

2) Major League Baseball: HomeRun Derby, Celebrity Softball, the Futures game, and the All-Star game. Unlike the #1 selection, you're never really promised excitement w/ any of the events, but when they hit, they hit gold.

1) NBA All Star Weekend: Rookie Game, 3 Point Contest, Slam Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, Shooting Stars (NBA/WNBA/NBA Legend). All that before the actual game. Makes the whole weekend feel like an event.

Top 5 Wrestling Games

5) WCW/nWo Revenge (Nintendo 64)
4) WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain! (PlayStation 2)
3) WWF WrestleMania 2000 (Nintendo 64)
2) WWE SmackDown v. RAW 2006 (PlayStation 2)
1) WWF No Mercy (Nintendo 64)

Top 5 CEOs

5) Glen Renwick - Progressive. "One" word: Customer-oriented
4) Bill Gates - Microsoft. One word: Observant*
3) Vincent K. McMahon* - WWE Inc. One word: Perservering
2) Sir Richard Branson - Virgin. One word: Flamboyant
1) Steve Jobs - Apple/Pixar. One word: Opportunistic

* A very "PC" way of saying, watching what happens in the marketplace, stealing it, and pretending that you came up with the idea.
**Officially, Linda McMahon is the CEO of the WWE, but its pretty well known that the buck stops at Vince.
