1. I almost never do these things. This is different because I've enjoyed reading other peoples and I like to talk about myself.

2. Remember the birds that would just stand on perches in pet stores? They freaked me out. Birds outside are fine. Inside cages are fine. But I get nervous when they are free outside.

3. I don't shave on vacation.

4. I would wear sandals every day if it weren't for cold and/or social pressure.

5. I enjoy high quality beer more, but even the crappiest stuff is good to me.

6. I had to go cold turkey on Kraft Mac and Cheese.

7. The skills that serve me the most I learned from my parents, summer camp, and improv. I loved school, but it's been far less helpful.

8. Nonetheless, I still think it would be fun to get an MBA in marketing.

9. I only act on a small fraction of the ideas that I have.

10. I hate to exercise, but I love playing sports.

11. I've been affiliated with Roman Catholics, two brands of Presbyterians, Methodists, Pentecostals, Lutherans, Mennonites and Baptists. I've learned from all of them, but haven't fit in with any of them.

12. I could easily drink a gallon of Orange Juice in one sitting, and still want more.

13. I already have plans for my retirement.

14. Peppermint makes me sneeze, but I like it anyway.

15. I want to shave my head and get glasses.

16. I love preaching and teaching, even though I thought I wouldn't when I started seminary.

17. I hardly do any counseling, even thought I thought that would be a focus.

18. I can't walk past a Ms Pacman machine without checking to see if I have quarters.

19. My pinky toes are not in proportion with the rest of them.

20. Ever year, I truly believe that the Steelers will in the Superbowl. Every March, I think Pitt basketball will win it all. Every spring, I used to think the Pirates will have a winning season, but that optimism has finally been killed.

21. Buffalo has become my adopted hometown. It will never be Pittsburgh, but I love living here.

22. I would love to be on the Supreme Court, and think I would do a good job.

23. I look extra stupid in a turtle neck, or a tank top.

24. I've got a dead guy's ligament in my knee.

25. I've never voted for a president that has won. Said losing votes were in 4 elections, for 4 different parties.

I hate this song. One reason that I am glad I am not in Pittsburgh is that I no longer hear this song. Seriously, if you call a random 412 area code number, you will hear this song in the background when they answer, and then again if they put you on hold. It will be the opening hymn in churches.

There are lots of other good Steeler songs, which makes me wonder why this one won't die. Anyway, without further ado: "Here we go"
