Recently Corey created a list of himself, a list spanning 100 or so descriptions. So in good taste, I will use his list and basicly "borrow it" to make it my own. If your looking for a deep list coming from an intelligent person, you can view Corey's. Here's mine in comparison.

1. I'm 23
2. I was born in St. Cloud, I currently live in Blaine, but I spend most of my time still in St. Cloud
3. I went to school to be a teacher. Still in progress
4. I attend St. Cloud State University.
5. I'm aboot 6'2'' and don't like to see myself in pictures.
6. I can't recognize the distinct smell of an ethanol plant.
7. No time for assholes
8. I enjoy baseball... if I'm intoxicated.
9. I never read Moneyball by Michael Lewis.

20. I have not yet experienced my honeymoon.
21. i HAVE beaten every super mario game, even mario 64. 120 stars.
22. I've never been in a band. I was the roady for Air Supply back in the day.
23. I hate airports
24. I’ve never understood, and probably never will, what the big deal was about The Ramones. They’re not good. I agree with Corey.

27. Frankly, I hate talking about politics with republicans.

30. I was once a starting forward for the Roosevelt Middle School basketball team.
31. My favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
32. I’ve always thought about getting a tattoo of the RHCP logo, but I’ve never had the guts to do it. Or the money.
33. I liked News Radio a lot while it was still on television.

36. I enjoy karaoke too much.
37. Even though I “slung” video games for the first three years of my working career, I bought more than three games a year. In fact, I bought more games before I had any sort of employee discount.
38.I never fancied myself a “football” fan, in the European sense of the word. I found later that I knew nothing about it; therefore I was not a very good fan.
39. However, I still consider myself a Liverpool fan, and I have zero jerseys in my closet.
40.

ahhhh this list goes on for ever,. I'll finish it later. - wick

41. I really prefer either Grain Belt or Pabst, though, to give the illusion that, in some way, I’m “keeping it real.”

46. I enjoy certain Hugh Grant movies.
47. I didn’t start playing Hold ‘em poker until it was the popular thing to do…
48. …and I’m better at it than I should be.
49. Olives make me retch.
50. I don’t like “big box” bookstores like Barnes and Noble and Borders, though I’m not afraid to shop there and buy the books elsewhere.
51. I actually like Fat Tire beer, and I don’t just drink it because it’s “cool.”
52. I’ve interviewed for teaching jobs in three states – and was never hired.
53. Aside from teaching jobs, however, I’ve never been denied a job I’ve interviewed for.
54. I had over 50 cover letters on file from teaching jobs that never bothered to even send a rejection letter.
55. If I could have dinner with five dead authors (and watch how this takes up five spots!) they would be: Geoffrey Chaucer

63. I actually created my own professional wrestling simulation league and included all of my friends.
64. My favorite wrestler was Chris Benoit.
65. I don’t get visual art.
66. The first real concert I ever went to was Metallica at the Sioux Falls Arena.
67. In saying this, I don’t count my first Sioux Empire Fair concert: The Monkees and Herman’s Hermits.
68. The first professional sports game I ever attended (that I remember) was a Chicago Bulls game (at the Target Center against the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves.)
69. However, I do know that I went to numerous Cincinnati Reds games when I was very young.

73. It took me a long time, but I have finally come to the conclusion that Bill Murray is the greatest comedic mind of our generation.
74. I’ve been to England and France, but I had never stepped foot in North Dakota until two weeks ago.
75. I’ve never been in a car accident.
76. I have, though, been in two bicycling accidents.
77. One of these bike accidents left me with a scar on my chin that my beard won’t grow over.
78. I have no respect for certain types of media: tabloids…
79. …Fox News…
80. …and reality shows on cable.
81. I believe in brand loyalty.
82. For example: Sirius over XM
83. I vote Democrat, though I did vote for Nader.
84. I’ve only voted for one winning President: Bill Clinton, in 1996.
85. I was 18 when I first remember seeing Star Wars, though I’m sure I saw it as a child.
86. I used to have problems with my eye, requiring me to wear an eye patch to help ease the problems. I don’t remember what the problem was, but I remember the patch.
87. I spent every summer for many years in Jackson, Wyoming, and I don’t care how touristy it has become – I still love it.
88. I believe radio is better than cable.
89. I think Nick Hornby books make the best movies.
90. I still contend that giving college players money to play college sports is pretty stupid, so it should never be considered. Please – don’t give me the “athletes should be paid because they bring money into the school,” or the “interns are paid when they train for their jobs.” First of all, interns are paid very little – and they’re actually working, not playing a game. Second, the universities are making money on the bookworms too by hyping their school’s testing scores and alumnus – you’re no different just because you’re an athlete. If you’re good, you’ll get yours soon enough. I hardly think the life of a college athlete is that hard.
91. Sometimes I get worked up over miniscule things.
92. I buy my clothes on the clearance racks of expensive stores.
93. My first car was a Volkswagen Beetle.
94. My first CD was the Wayne’s World soundtrack.
95. I’m a cherry-cola drinker
96. I’ve only worked in the food business once, and it was a sub shop in the bar district.
97. I hated that job at the time, but I look back fondly at it now.
98. My favorite part of London was the subway.
99. I don’t understand poetry very well.
100. This post took seven days to complete (off and on).
