The Big 25

 Well I have been tagged by a number of people to do the list of 25 things about myself. Most of these I would rather keep private, but bowing to the intense pressure of my peers, and the incredible money offered by one generous reader, here goes:

 
1.                  I have a weird beard. If I grow it out, its blond on the chin and moustache area, reddish brown on my cheeks, and medium brown when it gets to my sideburns. I look like a freakin’ collie when I grow it out.
2.                  In my ‘Lost Summer’, I got drunk and vomited on a cop’s shoes.
3.                  To love me is to love the Red Sox. ‘nuf said
4.                  I love little kids but I hate having to treat them in the hospital, not because they cry, but because I want to cry with them
5.                  I am competitive in sports. In baseball I will not hesitate to throw a fastball under a batters chin. In tennis, I will use my famous Testicle Shot if needed to win
6.                  I watch a lot of Discovery channel, and I have a crush on Kari of the Mythbusters
7.                  I love playing guitar, and Im finally getting good at it. Well, not Clapton good, but good enough to play out three nights a week and make money.
8.                  I can only love, or be with, one woman at a time. (well except for that wild threesome fantasy with me and the two lovely babes, but that’s just a fantasy..)
9.                  I like making love to a special woman, and my philosophy about sexual enjoyment is always “Ladies First.” It just makes the loving better.
10.              I know I will be a good dad
11.              I don’t drink much at all, mostly because Im on call a lot, secondly cuz my dad was an alcoholic. But I do enjoy a good buzz now and then
12.              When I was in college I did weed. The first time I felt wrecked we used a waterpipe with Scope Mouthwash in the bottom. Menthol Weed. My friend put on the song ‘Constipation Blues” by Screaming Jay Hawkins, and we laughed til we cried
13.              Im surrounded by beautiful nurses, X-ray techs, lab techs and social workers, but I want a relationship with someone outside the hospital. Like a writer or poet.
14.              I stopped believing in organized religion when my little sister died. I was pissed at God for years. I hope God and I can be buddies again – just cure a few little kids in the hospital now ok?
15.              I was once gonna be a priest. Seriously.
16.              I ‘borrowed’ a sailboat once, went for a night sail and got lost in the fog. Almost got run down by a fishing trawler
17.              My first real love was a tall blond, since then I seem to be only attracted to petite brunettes
18.              The summer I graduated  high school, my ‘Lost Summer,’ I broke my hand twice in fistfights while punching guys in the head. I had the famous “Boxers Fracture” of the metacarpals in my right hand
19.              I like driving small agile cars, and I like to push them performance wise. I don’t drive to endanger anyone else though
20.              I want to move to a warmer climate, New England winters are not much fun
21.              I have torn up my ankle, dislocated my shoulder and fractured a few fingers playing various sports. I now have to tape up my ankle just to jog.
<div style=”margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; text-indent: -0.5in”>22.              I scuba dive and I love it.
23.              I once went on a Shark Dive and was scared shitless, but would do it again in a flash. One day soon I will post some of my shark dive pics here.
24.              Celtic Woman introduced me to writing, and I thank her for that, and for many other things as well
25.              My work in the ER makes me appreciate the fragility of life and the value of love
