A Million Things (You May Not Know About Me)

1,000,000: I like my job.

999,999: I'd like it even more if I didn't have to spend a minimum 3 hours a day commuting back and forth to it.

999,998: I tend to favor the color blue, particularly the darker hues -- indigo, midnight, navy, thalia.

999,997: I'm also partial to the darkest blue of all, which I guess is black.

999,996: I used to have pretty bad eyesight. But then one day I woke up and decided I no longer wanted to be a four-eyed geek, so I got Lasik done. Now my vision is better than perfect -- 20-15.

999,995: But I still need to wear glasses when I read, and because I read a lot at home and at work, I'M STILL A FOUR-EYED GEEK.

999,994: I'm a hopeless romantic in a cynic's clothing.

999,993: But I don't cry at movies.

999,992: I own 24 neckties, zero bow ties.

999,991: I shave my legs. But I'm no girlie man; I'm a cyclist.

999,990: I happen to think this country has got exactly the government it deserves mostly because a bare majority of the voting public either hasn't been paying much attention or is pretty dumb.

999,989: I once had a car known as Da Bomb, but only because the engine could blow up at any moment.

999,988: I own four pairs of dress shoes and three pairs of cycling shoes.

999,987: I was blessed with a super-fast metabolism. People used to marvel at how much I could eat and not gain a pound.

999,986: Lately, though, my super-fast metabolism seems to be slowing down -- a lot. I'm no fatty yet, but I'm probably 10 or 12 pounds heavier than my fighting weight.

999,985: I'm a cancer survivor.

999,986: When I was in college, I briefly dated an exotic dancer.

999,985: I don't consider myself a blogger. I consider myself a bloke with minimal HTML skills and some spare time on his hands.

999,984: I own three bicycles.

999,983: And three iPods.

999,982: There is no connection between those two facts that I'm aware of.

999,981: I bet y'all were afraid that I was actually going to try to list a million of these things. Heh.
