Ok. Ill play along. 1) I suffer from debilitating acrophobia (fear of heights), agoraphobia (fear of crowds), and an obsessive compulsive disorder that was undiagnosed until I was in my late 20s. The heights thing is restricted to being in tall buildings or bridges. I have no problem flying and have even taken a hang gliding lesson. Large crowds of people freak me out unless Im on stage or there is a bar separating us. 2) I am a very proud nerd. I love all things sci-fi and fantasy, I have played D&D, have engaged in cosplay, spent, literally, thousands of hours playing World of Warcraft, I currently own somewhere in the vicinity of 8,000 comic books, and I have one of Gandalfs robes. 3) All the vehicles I have ever owned in my life, starting at age 16, have cost less than $8,000 combined. Probably because I spent all my money on comic books and wizard robes. 4) I was an extra in the film Last of the Mohicans. 5) I had planned on becoming an officer in the United States Marine Corps, but was informed I would not pass the minimum military medical standards due to hearing loss. I have, roughly, 50% of my hearing and suffer from tinnitus. 6) Every aspect of my life involves music except one. I play in multiple bands, have done tech work, and have recorded and produced artists. I attend multiple concerts on any given week, and regularly have music in my bar, and in my house, but in my car, however, I almost exclusively listen to talk radio. Melissa really hates riding in the car with me. 7) I was a nationally ranked foosball player on the Tornado Table Soccer tour in the mid 90s. I once beat a guy while I was wearing a blindfold. 8) I spent three and a half years as a professional wrestler. My name was Deacon Hatchet. When The Dictatortots first started, I carried my wrestling persona over from the ring to the stage and had a feud with Amber Valentine of the band Jucifer. 9) My dream job is to be a standup comic. It seems terrifying to me. Im envious of anyone who has the guts to stand up in front of a room full of people and make them laugh...Ya know, without having a backing band to blame it on if things go horribly awry. 10) I am a Green Bay Packers team owner and have in my possession the helmet that Brett Favre wore in the 97 NFC Championship game. Go Pack Go!!! 11) I could eat pumpkin pie every day for the rest of my life and never grow tired of it. 12) When I was a teenager, I shoplifted one needle from a packet of sewing needles from the local Ingles. I went home, covered my head in ice, and proceeded to pierce my ears and nose multiple times. Teenagers are stupid.
