28 things about me.

Hello all. For those of you who know me you know that today is my birthday. So I thought I would let everyone get to know me a little bit better by answering a few questions.



1. Dream Car- Aston Martin DBS











2. Favorite Book- The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett


3. Dream Vacation- Worldwide Theme Park tour followed by a tour of all Major League Baseball Stadiums


4. Favorite Obscure Movie- Life as a House.












5. Favorite Movie Quote- "Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; that love, true love, never dies... No matter if they're true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in." -Secondhand Lions

6. Aside from my acting, my greatest catharsis comes from my writing.

7. Contrary to popular belief, theater is not my first love. That place belongs to Baseball. Every spring I miss being able to play more than anything.

8. My brother and I used to get mistaken for each other all the time. Once, while we were working at the same grocery store, we both dressed up as gangsters for Halloween. I got called up to the front to bag, but my brother told me he would do it because he wanted to see how long it would take them to realize it was him and not me. The answer.......45 minutes.

9. Probably the greatest irony of my life to date is the fact that between my brother and me, I was always the inferior athlete, but I was on a State Champion Wrestling team, a two time conference winning football team and the first Baseball team to win any trophy of any kind for our school in like 25 years. He on the other hand was always on teams that were inferior to his own abilities.

10. I was born with a collapsed lung.

11. I am not a sports nut. For the most part I follow sports with passing interest. I know enough to be able to hold conversations and to know what is going on. I follow the big sporting events of the year, i.e. The Masters, The Superbowl, Daytona etc..... However when UGA football is on I become a raving lunatic. It is actually quite funny.

12. My perfect year in sports would consist of. Georgia winning the BCS championship, Atlanta winning the Super Bowl, Tiger completing the Grand Slam, Dale Jr winning the Nextel Cup, and Atlanta winning the World Series.

13. If I could only watch 5 movies for the rest of my life they would be. Star Wars (OT), Casablanca, The Godfather, Lonesome Dove, and The LOTR.

14. Favorite Dog- UGA










15. The people I most admire- My Parents and my Grandaddy.

16. My dream job- Paid Rollercoaster rider.

17. Favorite historical figure- Jesus Christ. Even if you don't believe in him as the son of God you have to admit he had a wonderful philosophy on life.

18. Favorite Quote- "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." -G.K. Chesterton

19. Favorite Chuck Norris Fact- While urinating, Chuck Norris is easily capable of welding titanium.

20. My inner circle- J9, love ya babe, Pete, he's da man, The Dwyer, although have not heard from him in a while.

21. I often feel as though I was born in the wrong period in time. I feel more at home dressed as a Medieval Knight, or a 1930's newspaper reporter than in my normal street clothes.

22. My biggest fear- Snakes. Hate them.

23. My birthday wish- That my parents can get away for a few days and escape the financial state that we are in right now. They are both so weary of penny pinching, I wish that I could send them on a weekend retreat or something.

24. Places I would most like to visit- Scotland, Ireland, Australia, The Grand Canyon, Montana


25. I am expecting the birth of my very first niece. I can't wait to be the crazy uncle.
26. I am a fan of music. I love harmony, dissonance, and the magic of hearing it all come together. That's probably why I don't listen to much Pop music.
27. I still have many movies from my childhood that I will watch again and again.
28. I am beginning to regret the fact that I got an XBOX for Christmas. This not getting to sleep until midnight is killing me.
Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did in creating it. If not, then I really don't care.
'Til we meet again
Paul
