Banky

Someone had the brilliant idea to post 25 random things about his or her self and make it a game you can share on Facebook. I share my 25 things here in an effort to illuminate and enlighten those who seek a shared conciousness with the “Banky.”

1. I won’t fart around my very significant other willingly.

2. I play the guitar but have little to no confidence in my ability.

3. I used said guitar and sang at open mikes around town a couple of years ago.

4. I think the word, “chicken,” is the funniest word in the English language.

5. I am a Reverend in the Universal Life Church, have married two friends and am about to marry another couple of friends at the end of February. It’s a wonderful feeling to be a part of what may be the most memorable day in those person’s lives.

6. I was married to a woman for 15 years, haven’t spoken to her hardly at all in 6 years and from time to time I wonder how she’s doing.

7. My mother taught me that next to God, your family is the most important thing and the people you consider to be family don’t have to have the same last name.

8. I enjoy playing Magic the Gathering but I wish it wasn’t so damned expensive.

9. I think I’m good enough to be a professional poker player but think its a really hard way to make an easy living.

10. I have no debt but my mortgage.

11. My dog is around 14 years old and I know my time with him will be coming to an end soon.

12. I wake up every morning and wonder to myself if this is the last day I will be alive.

13. I consider my ex-fiance to be one of my closest friends.

14. I feel lucky and blessed that my VSO is so evolved that she isn’t threatened by that.

15. Speaking of my VSO, I want and love her more now after writing #14.

16. Who am I kidding, I want and love her more regardless.

17. I don’t relish going to Italian restaurants because I think I make a much better pasta and gravy.

18. I got myself into therapy after my divorce and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

19. I’m counting on the fact that my 10 year old car, with 185,000 miles on it, will last two more years.

20. I have a violent cough that I just can’t get rid of (I’ve been to the doctor three times) and it creeps people out when people hear and see me cough in public.

21. My mother prays every day that I will come back to the eucharist. And she does so not because she wants to exert any control over me . . . she loves me incredibly and worries for my soul.

22. A dumpster is coming to my house next weekend and I will purge my house of piles of useless clutter.

23. I love independent film. I would rather see an indy film than a mainstream movie. Unless its Star Wars . . . or Batman . . . or Spiderman . . . or any other randomly assorted comic book movie.

24. I feel anxious at the idea of disappointing someone.

25. If I could walk around with a real lightsaber I would totally do it.
