I’ve posted dozens of random facts about me already, some merely amusing, some strange, some perhaps a bit surprising. This time I thought I would post ten things that might actually shock you. I’m proud of a few of these but ashamed of most. Drumroll, please…<\/p>\n

  1. Remember those naked 5k races I posted about a couple of years ago? Yeah, I ran one. It was awesome. I placed third in my age group. I can show you my medal. And my souvenir t-shirt.<\/li>\n
  2. I once broke up with a girl over IM.<\/li>\n
  3. As a teenager some friends and I threw Monopoly and Life money all over a local televangelist’s yard. Years later he mentioned the incident to a reporter while complaining about how mistreated he was.<\/li>\n
  4. My shortest dating relationship (if you use a very broad definition of “dating”) lasted about 18 hours. We were on a church beach retreat. I made the mistake of telling current girlfriend that I still needed to break up with Internet girlfriend once I got home. Honesty isn’t always the best policy when you’re an IDIOT.<\/li>\n
  5. I broke up with another girlfriend the day after I took her to prom. This time I used the phone.<\/li>\n
  6. I once delivered alcohol to a minor. At Baylor. To a dorm room.<\/li>\n
  7. I skipped one class during my sophomore year of high school. At the time I thought I had a good reason, but it was actually a pretty stupid reason.<\/li>\n
  8. I once wore a red bandanna on my head to Six Flags. Somehow it made sense at the time. No, I’m not a Blood. Just thought I would clear that up.<\/li>\n
  9. I wish some people could be forcibly sterilized because they don’t deserve to be parents.<\/li>\n
  10. During a Truth or Dare session in high school, I was forced to pole-dance in my underwear under a streetlight. Three people were present, two ladies and a dude. They were friends from my youth group. I don’t think any of them read this blog, but I’m sure they remember the incident. Unless they had that memory erased.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
