Seven Strange Things About Moi

Bryan from Sympathy Pain tagged me to tell ya a little somethin’, somethin’ about me. He asked for it.

1. The last job I held in my home town was at a cemetary where I was responsible for burying the bodies of the recently departed.

2. My freshman year I broke my hand and waited three days before I conceded to going to a doctor to check it out. The doctor was unable to keep my hand set, because I kept playing volley ball with it. he had to rebrake it twice and reset it throughout the entire second semester. We were never able to get the bone to set properly.

3. I was once engaged to a stripper.

4. Somewhere in Bangcock there is a music video that has me in it. The video was shot in filmed at a nightclub in Las Vegas. I’m dancing next to the girls dressed in plastic wrap.

5. I once had a contract on my head.

6. I have been banned for a lifetime from a golf course in Salt Lake City. I guess they never heard the rule that you have to drop your pants and take your shot again if you don’t drive your ball past the first tee.

7. I accidently broke into and out of a correctional facility.

    #7…accidentally?

  2. Jonathan Pippenger Says:

    Accidentally. I was on a long off-road stint through the deserts and mountains of Nevada and we came across this Area 51 looking place miles from nowhere. It was midnight, all was quiet. Decided to try a little spy action. When lights started heading our way we had to crash the jeep through a fence to get away. Eventually we discovered it was a correctional facility. Don’t want to say which one, just in case…

    Jonathon, I don’t think we can let 3, 4 & 5 just sit there either…!

  4. Jonathan Pippenger Says:

    For #3, not a whole lot to say. She was a nice girl that found a way to make good money. We split up because we had different expectations for the future.

    #4. Some singer from Thailand came into Vegas to shoot a music video. They shot a club scene. I was paid $50 to be one of the people dancing in the club.

    #5. If I have to explain this one, it won’t sound nearly as interesting.

  7. Blended Families Says:

    Your life seems to be colorful. I suggest you add more color to it by celebrating “National Stepfamily Day” on September 16th. This day was founded as a way to celebrate and honor the millions of people in stepfamilies around the world.

    Blended-Families.com is offering three different opportunities for stepparents to participate in live question and answer calls offered at noon, 3pm and 9pm Eastern time.

    Happy Stepfamily Day!
