I've been tagged!!
Okay, so Susie alerted me to the fact that I was "tagged" by Dave a while back. I had no idea. I remember seeing that post on his blog, but it looked too long and boring, so I didn't read it. Anyway, I'm supposed to post five things that people don't know about me. This should be fun:
1) Believe it or not, I used to have a pretty bad temper. When I was a kid, I was shooting baskets in the driveway, and I wasn't happy with the number of shots that I was making, so naturally, like anyone would do... I kicked the basketball pole. I'm pretty sure that I broke my toe, but I'll never know for sure because I didn't tell anyone, so I never went to the doctor.
2) One of my favorite basketball players is Lindsay Hunter from the Detroit Pistons, and once when I was in high school, I was at a rest stop going to the bathroom. I know this sounds like it's going down hill fast, but stick with me.... I was standing at the urinal, doing my thing, and who should come in and choose the urinal right next to me, but Lindsay Hunter!! Wow!!!
3) I've been shot.... Point blank.... In the chest.... No kidding.... Okay, fine, it was with a Red Rider BB gun, but it hurt like a monkey's uncle!!
4) I narrowly escaped an early departure from our world when I was almost hit by a car travelling about 50 mph. I was racing my brother home, and didn't stop and look at the corner, and was unpleasantly surprised by the screeching of tires. Thank goodness nothing happened. It would have been a shame to mess up my beautiful, yellow, ten speed bike. That was some bike (sigh).
5) When I was a kid, I used to think that I had super human strength, so I would pin a towel around my neck and make believe it was a cape. Then I would jump off the couch to see if I could fly.... I couldn't. And as it turns out, I don't actually have super human strength either. The rocks that I was crushing with my bare hands were actually just little balls of compacted dirt. But the girl two doors down didn't know that. Score!
Now I have to tag some people.... Amanda and Ceci.... I TAG THEE!!!!

Come on man, update this blog already. Over here in China, we don't have much else to do so we read blogs.
Okay, so I want the Bears to win honestly, but they will not because Manning will step up. HE IS HUNGRY!
