“I had Scarlett fever at 13”
“I feel like a local anywhere I go.”
“I moved to china at 20 with no plan.”

I turned down a job offer from the Mi5 spy agency in the UK to go sell didgeridoos in Australia before flying to Japan where I learned karate from a master, married a hot Japanese girl, and bought an apartment in Tokyo.
I have many stories but these are probably the highlights.
I can eat imitation crab straight out of the pack like it is candy.
I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll /s
And painkillers are largely ineffective for me.
I’m 35 but get mistaken for a 21 year old
Dropped my music major in college and went prelaw and then to law school.
I don’t consider myself remotely interesting in any aspect
I’ve dug up more dead bodies than you ever will.
Started learning archery at 34. By 36 I was coaching and competing. By 40 I had several local and state level medals. It’s never too late to jump into something new. Just need to find something/group that grabs you. It wasn’t really the archery per se, but the vibe of the range made me want to spend time there (and shooting arrows is fun).
The motorcycle group I ride with has been rotating board members every year for two decades. We convinced some newer regulars to take the reins. They’re all about 50 and taking on this new leadership role within a charity group. I can tell even these burly bikers are scared as shit about fucking this up. It’s cute. We’ve made it this far, they’ll be fine.
The fact that, I don’t lie.. I’m too honest…
I had a coworker who owned an inflatable sex sheep, so he could eat an ice cream cone out of its ass at test depth, just to be able to truthfully tell new people “I’ve spent more time eating an ice cream cone at test depth than you’ve spent at sea.”
I was one of those new people. He was a character.
I have Hemochromatosis, so my body is super efficient at absorbing iron. I’m also a universal donor. I’ve donated 1.125 gallons of blood since Jan 30th while undergoing treatment. I’m basically a blood factory.
I went through high performance driving education (HPDE) and was trained as a racecar driver.
I’m efficiently lazy at anything involving repetitive work and computers
In highschool my teachers felt bad for how unimpressive I was. So they made me a custom award for “most Moxie” when I graduated a year late.
I got hit by a car on 2 separate occasions while walking on the side of the road. Because of this I have pretty bad nerve damage and my pain tolerance is very high (or more realistically my brain doesn’t respond to pain normally anymore).
This sounds super cool until you think about how many times I get burned, cut or bruised without realizing it.
Now I have to check myself when I get home from work to make sure I didn’t hurt myself. I can still feel pain and actually some days it hurts really bad.
I don’t tell many people about it because I feel embarrassed and I feel like a weirdo My boss knows. My fiancé knows and my best friend knows.
I don’t have stereoscopic vision so everyone except me goes through life like they’re looking at a 3D movie whereas I’m just plain old 2D movie.
I’ve dated 3 girls born on August 23rd. I’ll be honest, that day scares me a bit every year, lol.
I’m in the top <1% strength and fitness wise, by a solid margin, and spend my spare time using next to done of it and instead make tiny toys, which makes hobby shop owners often look at me like I’m lost, til I open my mouth.
Between that, being hit by a car a couple times, and having seen a couple of my own bones (but also none due to the cars) yet never having broken any.
I also have spare teeth, and thus technically finished teething in my late 20s.
My good friend once told me that the interesting thing he finds about me is the extent of my knowledge, my incredible memory, and my ability to figure things out. I have done and learned so many things in my lifetime that it’s just second nature to me. I never really thought I was exceptional, I thought everyone knew what I did until I was 18.
That was when I realized that not all men knew how to do everything I did. By then I had learned construction, masonry, auto and small equipment mechanics, electrical, plumbing, woodworking, metalworking, welding, gardening, how to operate heavy equipment, hunting, fishing, caring for livestock, and using a vast amount of tools.
As I got into my 20’s, meat cutting and merchandising, profit margins and business management, in my 30’s industrial mechanics, electrical and technical skills, engineering and planning.
I have that thing where you can’t picture stuff in your mind. I first learned about it in college when I joined up with a group of Wiccans and we were supposed to visualize stuff in our minds for a ritual and all I saw was darkness.
nearly died twice from mental induced anorexia when I was 18-19yo.
I started flying before I started driving. Had my first flying lesson in late January/early February and started driving ~6 weeks later. I’ve also met Ed Bolian of Vinwiki fame. I’m sure I can come up with a third interesting fact about myself but I can’t remember off the top of my head. Oh yea, I was also featured on my hometowns front page for starting a free pantry initiative for the less fortunate. https://pantagraph.com/lifestyles/bloomington-students-stock-up-for-little-free-pantry/article_07ec75e7-31c0-5ee0-a9d6-146a128764d6.html
Worked in a Dutch coffeeshop in the 90’s and Sold weed to Jamiroquai ( he bought several strands of weed and hash) , had some Wu-Tang members in the shop and sold some weed to them and got invited to their performance where we smoked more weed, smoked some with Keith Richards whilst playing pool in a night club. Had the r&b group Jagged Edge in the shop and sold m some weed.
It seems weed played a big part in all of this.
There is more but I can’t share it on Reddit.
I like the taste of orange juice after brushing my teeth.
I broke my spine but got to keep my legs working.
The staff actually commented several times on my level of pain tolerance.
Morphine didn’t touch the pain. I was lucky a nurse badgered the doctor into trying dilaudid.
The last time I threw up was November 1975
I spent 20 years in China teaching TEFL English.
