Dave's Den

The latest internet fad seems to be creating a list of 25 random facts about yourself. Seems rather self-indulgent to me, but I guess if you have a blog you're self-indulgent to begin with. I'm not above the masses, so I may as well throw my hat in the ring:

1. In 1980, I lost the tip of my right index finger to a meat slicer.
2. I'm much more introverted than I used to be.
3. I'm happiest when I'm far away from the city, preferably camping.
4. Being late to anything drives me absolutely crazy.
5. I can be a condescending smart-ass.
6. I miss my grandfather every day.
7. I want to do more traveling.
8. If I could do it all over again, I'd take a lot more chances.
9. I started losing my hair when I was 18.
10. I wish I was good enough to make a living at photography.
11. I have a sappy, sentimental side I keep to myself.
12. Chocolate is the food of the gods.
13. I'm organized, and I expect it from others as well.
14. I love being a dad.
15. I'm a dog person (but not the little yippy ones).
16. The glass is half full.
17. I lost 80+ pounds in 2007.
18. I've learned more about myself in the last 5 years than all previous years combined.
19. Procrastination annoys the hell out of me.
20. I still love playing video games, especially with the kids.
21. I've been keeping a private journal since October 2007.
22. Sad music comforts me.
23. The first big concert I ever attended was Boston in March 1979.
24. I often have to remind myself that I'm a good person. Not flawless, but good.
25. I've found forgiveness to be a great cleanser for the soul.
