My 25 things

Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

1. I get very annoyed when you go to fast food restaurants (i.e. McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King) and people try and act like they don't know what they want. Everyone knows that the menus at these fast food places never change except for an occasional promotion of a special sandwich. Come on people get it together.

2. My ultimate dream job is to be a college professor. I think it would be nice to teach in a college setting. I feel like your college years are some of the most important years of your life. Besides we need more African-American professors.

3. I smile every time I see a vehicle on the road that has an Obama bumper sticker. I get even more excited when its a person that isn't black. I have heard from a couple people that the only reason why Obama won the election was because of black people. Well news flash people there aren't enough black people for Obama to just get our vote and win the election.

4. I have two very big decisions to make in the next year or so. I have to finally decide where I will be moving to and if I am going to go back to school. I have been thinking a lot about both of them.

5. When I look back at all the people I was "friends" with in high school it amazes me to see how many of those "friends" that I still talk to. I think my true friends are the ones that I communicate with in some way shape or form. The others are just people.

6. It's funny that with my friends from college when we get back together we just pick up where we last left off like we seen each other just the day before. It's weird in a way but I like it.

7. I am one of the most reliable person you will ever meet. I don't mind helping people out at all. As a matter of fact I probably go out of my way to help people even though they don't appreciate it.

8. I got my first job at the age of 12. I got a paper route and I really liked it. Dennis, my sister and I all got one around the same time. If I remember correctly my sister only last about a couple of months. Dennis and I kept the job for quite a while. We used to get on the bus and go to the the Towne Mall and spend our money on shoes and or clothes. We wasted a lot of money by doing this.

9. I hate the fact that there are three other cars exactly like mine in the parking garage at my job. My stomach cringes every morning when I ride past each of them.

10. My first two months of college at High Point University where the hardest two months of my life. I had no friends and no family in the area. I was very lonely many days but I toughed it out and of course the rest is history.

11. Growing up I always wanted to be a Pediatrician but changed my mind after taking biology in high school freshman year. I knew then that I couldn't take being in all those science classes.

12. I was in this program called Gifted and Talented Enrichment Program when I was in elementary school and it was a culture shock. I had never been in a class where I was the minority. I hated it and was mean to my classmates even though it wasn't there fault.

13. I remember back in 1992 going to the voting booth with my mom and I tried to tell her to President Bush the first one. My mom politely told me to be quiet and that she wasn't voting for him. She was voting for Clinton. I couldn't understand why my mom would want to vote for someone else besides the President. LOL thank god she didn't listen to me.

14. I won't watch any TV show that is animated. I don't know what it is about cartoons and animation but I just can't sit through it. I just don't think any adult should be watching cartoons. That includes the Simpsons and Family Guy and those other shows like them.

15. I went and saw the movie Notorious last weekend and I thought it was a great movie. There was one thing that I didn't like. Couldn't they have found someone else to play Tupac?!?! I mean when Biggie was like Pac come here. I thought he was confused at who that was.

16. I was suspended three times in elementary school for fighting. Twice in fifth grade and once in sixth grade. The principal would always ask why where you fighting and I would say my mom always told me if someone hits you you have a right to hit them back. LOL

17. In the last month I have purchased 5 CDs. Yeah and I never buy CDs. Those five CDS where: Jamie Foxx's Intuition, Britney Spears' Circus, Kanye West's 808s Hotel adn Heartbreak, John Legend's Evolver, and that's it. I thought it was five but I guess it's only been four. Sorry I didn't feel like erasing this one.

18. Isn't it crazy how facebook and myspace keep you connected to everyone that you have ever met. It's like you can't get away from some people if you wanted. I have put a new policy on my facebook. I won't accept any new friends unless I actually know you or our a member of my fraternity.

19. Speaking of Facebook and Myspace, I think I am the last person to realize that people use these sites to hook up with people. It never crossed my mind that people would be looking for dates on these sites. Not that there is anything wrong with it I just never would have guessed.

20. I'm supposed to start writing my book this month but have been so busy doing other things that I haven't started. I have some interviews to complete but oh well.

21. Why is it mostly awkward when you see some of your ex coworkers that you really didn't care for but you still want to be nice because you never know.

22. I really need to do some actual volunteer work instead of just donating money. I know giving money is good but I feel like I need to do more. Maybe I will go down to the Ohio food bank and volunteer for a couple of hours.

23. One of my goals is to go see the Oprah Winfrey Show live and in person before she retires.

24. I haven't bought a pair of tennis shoes that cost more than $50 since I began buying my own tennis shoes. I don't understand how people spend $100 on a pair of shoes. I do want to purchase a pair of Nike Shox but I can't bring myself to pay $80 for them. Yeah I know cheap or whatever.

25. My Manager at my job will be on the Amazing Race this season. I have been keeping that secret for awhile and they are announcing the cast Monday morning. Victoria Hunt is her name. Make sure you watch her beginning February 15 on CBS.
