If I Knocked; Would You Let Me In?

Most of the things that I write about myself and my friends are true. Some are exaggerated a bit to get a response from the reader. For example (and you have to have read previous posts to understand this): I really am a perfectionist that does not take compliments well when, in my mind, I am under-performing. I am not really an asshole about it (superior maybe). The following are more truths about me:

I do love a good cold, frosty beer; but I rarely get drunk anymore (my wife might say any less). I am the King of (darts in) Okmulgee County and will brag about it alot in my blog posts. I rarely berate an opponent (unless they are a trash talker) when I beat them and take their money.

Bartolina's aka Bart's is my favorite waterin' hole. I had my first beer there when I was 15. I have lived all over the place, but somehow keep ending up back here in Hooterville. But even when I was living elsewhere, I always made a point to try and stop by Bart's when I was in town.

I am a football fanatic (BOOMER SOONER!), and can watch it most anywhere, anytime. Pop Warner to NFL. I am an avid Oklahoma Sooner fan, regardless of the sport and been spotted in Austin, TX (home of the neutered bovines) wearing Sooner clothes.

I am a gambler. I enjoy playing poker and blackjack at casinos. I play poker online a few times a week (I play much better live). I have never been banned from the blackjack tables for counting cards, yet. My friends and I will make prop bets on most anything. Chinese poker is my new favorite card/gambling game.

I have been in the computer business full-time for over 12 years now. I used to make computers better for people; now I destroy them for the gold and other precious metals in them for myself. Plus recycling them keeps them out of the landfills (they're full of lead and mercury).

I am really into making money (and spending it). I've made alot in my short time on this earth and plan on making tons more before I go skidding off to that final resting place.

Everything I wrote about my funeral plans (see blog post "Am I a strange SOB") are 100% true!

I truly believe I am a semi-normal human being. What do you think? Would you let me in if I knocked on your door?
