I am awesome, Awesomer, and AWESOMEST.
My Self-Summary
I created a nice list of 100 fact about myself. Here are the 25 of
them.
100: I relate to movies like other people relate to music and
art.
99: I love my two cats more than most people.
98: I regret never having learned guitar. Never too late…
97: I have had my dream job and lost it. That was two years ago. No
job since has been as enjoyable or paid as well. Lesson learned:
there are no end-points.
96: Relating/interacting to/with people is one of the most
difficult things for me to do. It’s like Dexter, but without so
much blood.
95: I will be a good photographer someday.
94: I judge you.
93: I am not a dog person. I don’t dislike them, but I am
indifferent to them. Unless it’s a small dog; then I do hate
it.
92: I grew up as a semi-only child. My older siblings were out of
the house by the time I was 10ish and weren’t around much before
that.
91: I had three dogs during my youth: Dog, Puppy, and Pete.
90: There was one cat: a black one named Licorice
89: My first crush was a girl named Mary. I was very young. I still
love the name.
88: I don’t have cable or even rabbit ears. I watch any and all TV
via the internet. Saves me $720 a year.
87: My secret calling was that of an Astrophysicist followed
closely by some type of artist.
86: My mother died when I was 12. Her name was Marsha.
85: I loved and played baseball from T-Ball up until my Sophomore
year of H.S. They said I had to cut my hair. I chose the
hair.
84: I have had four girlfriends. Only one that was longer than a
few months.
83: My first kiss was at 15 on the steps leading up to my first
g/f’s bedroom.
82: I listen to all kinds of music, but it has to match my mood or
it’s just noise.
81: Henry Rollins is my mentor. If you haven’t read his books or
listened to his spoken word then you haven’t lived.
80: I chose staying with my friends instead of skipping 5th grade.
I still wonder which was the right choice…
79: I called one grandmother “Grandma Wick” and one “MeMaw”. They
have both passed.
78: When I was around 11/12 my parents said I could get a computer
or a stereo. I chose computer. Intel 386/33 with a turbo
button.
77: I love to cook, but haven’t branched out near enough to call
myself a cook. I do make a mean homemade macaroni and cheese. You
have to had just a little cream cheese.
76: I love Mt.Dew in a can. I will gorge myself on it until my
heart races.
75: I don’t recycle and probably never will unless forced.

The six things I could never do without
My own mind.
Good pair of jeans.
Sunny days (even in Winter).
White cotton v-neck.
Can't think of anything else I would really miss...
I spend a lot of time thinking about
So many things it would make your head spin. I have a busy mind and
am always thinking about something.
To a fault.
On a typical Friday night I am
Short answer:
See section about entitled "What I'm doing with my life."
Long answer:
Whatever floats my boat. I could be caught doing anything from
setting at home to going to the Power & Light. It really just
depends. Having said that, to answer the question of "on a typical
Friday night I am..." usually doing something pretty low-key with
my group of friends. That's just my slice o' life.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
You can see all my secrets here:
damionbroadaway.com.
That way, they aren't secrets anymore.
You should message me if
1: You don't mind meeting quickly. I find that emails don't really
allow people to get to know each other. Something simple like
coffee will do just fine. No sense in spending a couple weeks
writing and then find out you don't click in person.
2: If you're positive. Nobody likes a Negative Nancy.
C: You can talk. I don't like sitting across from an opinionless
wall. I can handle shy; not an empty head. I like to be engaged and
hope you do to.
4: You don't take yourself to seriously. When you were born you
took a shit in front of a room full of people. Remember that.
5: Any other reason you can think of. I'll write back; I'm that
type of guy.
