Greetings one and all. Recently on Facebook I was “tagged” by a good friend of mine from back home. My friend wrote 25 totally random things/ facts about himself, and now I am too. Then I am supposed to “tag” 25 people (including my friend who tagged me first). I don’t have a clue how to do it on Facebook. I am definetly going to do it here on this blog. OK? Here it goes:
1. It took me a grand total of six years to graduate from college (1 year and a half at a community college and 4 and a half years at Harding).
2. I have had 3 jobs in my life time ( at a movie theater, Mardel Christian Bookstore, and Tom Thumb grocery store).
3. I love cereal/ oat meal for breakfast.
4. While in college I ate one hamburger for lunch and super everyday.
5. I also enjoyed eating Frosted Flakes with chocolate milk (which a lot of people seemed to get grossed out by).
6. I am a HUGE sports fan (college and professional). I am as passionate about the teams I like (Texas Rangers, Buffalo Bills/ Pittsburg Steelers/ OU Sooners, Dallas Mavericks/ KU Jayhawks/ Duke Blue Devils, Dallas Stars) as the teams I dislike (New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys/ Miami Hurricans/ USC Trojans, LA Lakers, Detroit Red Wings).
7. I decided I was going to start watching hockey after getting home from Scotland five years ago. Only they went on strike when I got home. That was really disappointing, but decided to start watching it when they started playing it again. It’s really fun to watch. Really intense, especially over-time playoff hockey.
8. My favorite sports to watch are (in no particular order): baseball, basketball, football, and hockey (both college and profession).
9. I love collecting sports memorabilia.
10. Currently I am attending preaching school.
11. My future goals after school are to go to the Northeast and work with churches in college towns and develop a ministry presence in a college community.
12. I am almost constantly on ESPN; either on TV, radio, or internet.
13. I don’t like popcorn. Haven’t liked it ever sence I worked at the movie theater.
14. I am known to wear long sleave clothing on hot days and short sleave clothing on cold days. Don’t know why. It’s just the way I roll.
15. I find a weird scence of joy annoying people (especially family members).
16. I enjoy watching Judge shows (I get drawn into it when they start talking about the cases- I can’t help it).
17. I go to sleep early (10pm most of the time) and early riser (6:30 am mostly).
18. I like to get to places early.
19. I love to read (biblical, theological, and ministerial materials; and the comics in the newspaper).
20. I have been on four continents in my lifetime (North America, South America, Africa, and Europe).
21. Colorado is my favorite vacation place I’ve ever been with my family (I also really enjoyed the Great Smokies in TN and the beaches in FL).
22. I love reading blogs. My favorites are: Tim Spivey’s (timspivey.com), Trey Morgan’s (treymorgan.net), James Glascocks’s (thetimehascome.wordpress.com), and Matthew Morine’s (matthewmorine.com).
23. I also like to look up different church websites.
24. When I was little I used to walk in my sleep and talk in my sleep.
25. Don’t know what else to say here. What would you like to know?
Any one know how to put this on facebook?
Thank you all. God bless.
Top 25 Random Things/ Facts About Myself

Zach! Interesting stuff about you… I didn’t know you were such a huge sports fan! I guess we really didn’t have much time in AIM to keep up with all that, so maybe that’s why. I did one of these on facebook and just put it in a “note.” So, if you’re still looking for a way to do it, that’s one way! I certainly don’t know all the ins and outs of facebook either.
I enjoyed the facts though and feel like I know you a bit better! You’re in our prayers and I’m thankful for your friendship. #25 – You’re an excellent friend and encourager, I know many people would back me up on that being true.
