I have been tagged by Appletini for 10 fascinating random facts about me. This helps because I had no idea what to post about this morning. I think I have done something like this before, but that is okay... I need to write something.

1. I totally dig intelligent shows, like How it's made, Myth Busters, Bullshit, and Modern Marvels.

2. I love intense video games. I really enjoy hardcore games. This does not immediately mean violent (sometimes it is). It just means that the action is hot, heavy and intense as described above. I always find it fun and beyond exciting to watch moan at the mention of video games, then to watch them. They are not the Mario you used to remember. My father is like this, as are many of the middle generation. Most men dig the appeal too. The Hitman series is one such title that almost any guy (some women too maybe) could sink their teeth into. I like to see child like wonder in people when they see new generation gaming.

Example (taken from Gears of War):

You come out of a prison that is all but shattered due to war, only to find your exit is over taken by locust (the enemy). Your hope is to take cover from the intense fire fight that is about to occur, you slam your body up to a ledge blocking on coming fire. Helicopters are over head they are your allies, there is two of them, they are using heavy firing turrets of unknown caliber on the enemy. You can not stare too long, as on your left side you are being flanked by three locust, your cover is no longer helping you. One of the two helicopters takes a direct hit (you may not have seen it) but you hear the pilot screaming... you can not stop what you are doing, the enemy is still pressing you. Take cover at a new location, charge the enemy, don't stand still, as said before that cover you have stood behind has now been compromised and minus the guys flanking you, there is whole bunch more laying down suppressing fire in front of you...

Like I said: This is not Mario brothers
The little dude is not allowed to watch any of these.

3. I love clothing. I enjoy looking nice, I like being a young professional that sticks out. A different era of young professional. I love looking swank, however I am not a very gay ish like dude. I have no problems with masculinity, I do not get pedicures or do my nails. I just get dressed like I am going to the swing clubs of old, when speakeasys were the in thing.

4. I enjoy poker, Texas Hold'em is my favored kinda of card play and I like money. Gambling is rather stupid, but poker is more about skill then luck. That is why the same powerful gamblers are so famous, they make it to the last table almost every year, out of thousands of players.

5. I love having Bailey's Irish cream in my coffee, it is the stuff of heaven. I will usually have it when I go camping (yes I go camping, I live in New England) It is the perfect night cap after a day in the sun, swimming, and eating. A nice large cup of coffee with that inside... mmm does a body good. Just like smoking.

6. I like Old Spice body spray.

7. I love to read, fact check, read the news, find federal census records, I like reading laws and how they are worded (I know I am a dork) my favorite is sexual leering, staring at someone for over 10 seconds while making suggestive "eyes" at another person (cali baby) hahahaha.

8. I enjoy teaching the little dude and make it sound exciting. Imagination and science are one in the same for children, it is us that steals that from them. I bought the bud, an encyclopedia set at a yard sale(updated last in 1988) but for a 6 year old you would have thought I bought him a real monster truck. The point is me and him have been reading about a place, war, or invention, at least every other day before bed. He takes the books to summer camp with him... even though the other little kids think it is not cool. The bud said to me "Learning makes me smart how can that not be cool?" My heart melt. He rocks and I love to teach him with a passion that deserves his attention. "Bud what does 6+?=15?" He smiles "8?" "that is close" "9" Very good little dude.

9. I do not believe in pushing moral codes on other people and via versa.

10. I like chocolate. I love chocolate. I consume chocolate. chocolate gooooood. I have chick behaviors when it comes to the substance.

I will tag a few people later, need to get to work. :D Thanks Appletini.
