25 RANDOM things about me

I was tagged on Facebook, to offer 25 random facts about me. They're completely random, so enjoy!

1) I would snowboard for a living again if I could.

2) I regret the days when I was hanging out with my dad, and I kept worrying about other things I had to do that day.

3) I have a spending problem, a bad habit from when I used to make a LOT more money. But thankfully, I don't care a whole lot about electronics. I'd say it's just more from going out a whole lot.

4) They say the first million should be the hardest to make, after that it should all come easy. I just hope that's true.

5) I love Bichon Frises. No matter how gay they might make me look.

6) I think it's important to be able to laugh everyday. Because of that, I might make light of serious situations.

7) I get cranky when hungry.

8) When I think about buying a car, I think about more than the car itself. I think about what other people will think of that car. It's a terrible habit. One I should care less about (or not at all).

9) I've never had terrible luck with cars... so I tend to take cars for granted. I know that once I buy a $100K car, I'll regret it for the rest of my life (whether it's got mechanical problems, leaves me stranded, I'll lose 1/2 the value in 1-year, or is a lemon).

10) I feel like I have the perfect family, house, jobs, dog, girlfriend, friends, relationships... and can't complain about a thing.

11) I have too many pairs of shoes... not that I buy a whole lot... but I can never wear them out enough to be able to throw them away.

12) I have a motorcycle endorsement, but as I get older, I feel like I shouldn't be riding a motorcycle anymore.

13) I write down everything, from life goals and to-do lists, to gas receipts for my cars. I like telling things as-is, knowing the details, and don't like to hide anything from people.

14) I love that I have a diverse group of friends, and can go from being part of a Jewish wedding ceremony to a traditional Korean one from one day to the next.

15) I hate messes and spend a lot of time cleaning up. BUT, my mom is a lot worse, so she always makes me feel like a pig.

16) When I start to do something, I get obsessed with finishing it (for example, the odor in my car, or rearranging furniture in my room, and so on). If necessary, I'll stay up all night to complete it.

17) I eat til I'm way too full, which means I have to work out a lot more to burn off those calories.

18) I'm trying to cook at home more.

19) I love photography, but frankly, think it's crazy how many people with a Digital SLR think they're professional photographers all of a sudden. But with that said, I love a good photograph regardless of who took it.

20) I'll watch reruns ALL day long. I don't care how many times I've seen an episode of Frasier, Simpsons or Family Guy. It drives my girlfriend crazy.

21) I think empathy is a great characteristic to have. People are too selfish these days.

22) I used to get suspended from school at least once a year, until I got into high school.

23) If I could live anywhere in the world, I would still live in Issaquah, WA.

24) I'm a classic case of "you always want what you don't have." And think of getting nicer versions of things I already have. And when I talk about this with friends, they look at me like I'm crazy.

25) I'm always trying to find the next thing to be passionate about.
