25 Random Things About the Most Interesting Person You Know (Me)

1. I am level 1 and level 2 boys gymnastics coach. I took a class at BYU last Spring and fell in love. I'm pretty much the best gymnastics coach these kids have. What have I learned from them? Stupidity is established at a very young age, and I think that I'm catching a small glimpse of what I was like when I was a young lad. 

2. Last semester I decided I was going to learn to play the guitar. Well I did. Whether I'm playing Flight of Concord's "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" or Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", I love to play the guitar.

3. I have an uncanny ability to make people laugh. 

4. Contrary to what much of the world will think, I am actually a shy person. When I'm first meeting people, It's hard for me to be open. But once I warm up to you... Watch out baby!!

5. I'm a hopeless romantic. I want my life to be a movie. I want to live a "Chick Flick". 

6. Sometimes I get really really bad headaches. I have since I was a little kid. I don't really know why. Maybe I have a brain tumor. Maybe I just know too many women...

7. I have Asthma and I am allergic to just about anything. Grass, hay, weeds, animals, just about anything. It's really a miracle I'm still alive. You should be grateful.

8. My newest obsession is trying to figure out a way I could get a wish granted by the "Make a Wish" foundation. I know it's a non-profit organization that helps children with life-threatening diseases and stuff...but I just want it so bad. Maybe I could convince them that a cough could be life-threatening. My wish would of course be to go to Disney World with by best friend. 

9. I love to play the piano. I'm one of the few, the proud, the awesome that DIDN'T quit piano lessons as a child. I mostly use it to lull women into a state of hypnosis, while my natural charm takes over and they can no longer resist me. 

10. My life is burdened with shockingly good looks, and along with that burden comes the consequence of having people think I'm much younger that I actually am. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't think that I'm not in college. Once, I was 21, and this lady thought I was in middle school. Story of my life.

11. My stature is currently right around 5 feet 4 inches tall, 130 pounds. I have a brother who is 6 feet 1 inch tall, 230 pounds. I don't know how it happened, but all that is important is that I can still beat him up...to a certain extent.

12. I was on the cover of a magazine. May 2003 Ensign. Check it out. I'm the dude in the yellow shirt walking away from the camera. Boo-Ya!

13. My excuse for just about everything is "I'm a dude. Dude's don't have to know that." Most of the time it works.

14. The place where I grew up, Royal City, is the best place on Earth. I'm a farm boy at heart, and some people even say I have a slight accent. If I could support myself being an Orthodontist in Royal City, I would move there in a flash.

15. I served my mission in Las Vegas. No better place to serve. Some of the perks, meeting Gladys Knight, teaching the Zodiac Killer's son, and having guns pulled on me in the biggest trailer park in the world. 

16. One of my dreams is to write a song someday. I've tried, but try as I might, my musical abilities just aren't wired that way.

17. Another one of my dreams is to be in a movie. A real motion picture. I think I have the ability, now I just need to know the right people.

18. I don't like chocolate. I can handle a Snickers bar, or a chocolate with caramel every now and then, but a Hershey bar or a chocolate kiss, no way.

19. My worst fear is clowns. For real. Any clown. Even the happy ones scare the funny right out of me. Next in line for fear, spiders, snakes, and drowning.

20. I don't really like feet. I don't like them at all. So keep them away from me.

21. I placed 8th in the State wrestling tournament my Sophomore year of High School. And that was my first year wrestling ever.

22. I have a belt buckle in the shape of a lizard, and another that is a replication of the doorknobs of the Salt Lake Temple.

23. I can't stand the noises that people make when they sleep. Nothing bothers me more than the smacking and sniffing and breathing and snoring that people do while they sleep.

24. Some of my idols include Yoda, my father, and my mission president.

25. I am a very picky eater. I like plain hamburgers (but only if I can make it myself), no green food (meaning vegetables, except corn and peas). Eating in general is just not a huge concern for me. Sometimes I forget to eat. But give me some ice cream, and some dry cereal and I'll be good forever.
