100 thing about G

My cousin Cara recently posted 100 things about herself on her blog. I found out alot of things that I never knew about her. Actually, through blogging I'm able to learn more and stay in touch better with my family & friends (at least the one's that blog). So I thought I'd shed some light on the mystery that is G.

1. I was born in small town, Dermott on 8/13/72. And grew up in the small town of Hamurg.
2. Not much of a small town person, however. I prefer to live in the city.
3. I've lived in Little Rock, Orlando, Nashville and Little Rock again. Orlando was my favorite.
4. I was a first born....booya!
5. I have a younger sister by 3years.
6. I have really thick dark brown hair.
7. I let it grow long once in college and a barber went through 3 clippers cutting it. THICK!
8. I have a twin brother who's 2 months and 2 days apart with red hair. Impossible you say....Ask anybody that knows me.
9. His name is Tom (that means Twin) so there! Duh!
10. I was electrocuted by grabbing an electric fence at my house when I was young.
11. My mom was electrocuted by grabbing me.
12. I never really got into the outdoor thing. Hunting, Fishing...etc. I prefered T.V. and my over active imagination.
13. I can't count how many times I've wrecked a 3 or 4 wheeler.
14. My mom REFUSED to get me a 2 wheeler (motorbike)
15. I can't stand driving stick.
16. I once held a paper bulls-eye target "in my hand" so my cousin could shoot it with my new B-B Gun.
17. I once got shot in the leg with a B-B Gun. Good aim Amie!
18. I nearly broke the door down to my sister's room because I thought my cousin was beating her up.
19. My mom, sister and cousin played a prank on me once by pretending to beat up my sister. They never did that again.
20. I had several Alyssa Milano poster on my bedroom ceiling when I was a kid.
21. I have more cousins than I can count. So don't ask me to.
22. When I turned sixteen my dad handcuffed me around a tree in our backyard so my cousins could take turns whipping me.
23. I got a black Monte Carlo when I turned 16, but I couldn't drive it because my butt hurt. (see above)
24. I once raced a 3/4 ton chevy down cherrie street.
25. My Monte Carlo went airborne on cherrie Street. Tom was with me. (see #27 )
26. One time in High School. They called my bro. Tom to the principle's office,over the PA system, so I got up too. The teacher said where are you going? "To the office." I said. "They didn't call your..." (over the PA system) "Paul Gulledge please report to the Principles office." The teacher just shook her head.
27. Tom and I never got into trouble. Unless we were together.
28. Once in Jr. High Tom & I lined up all the chairs in Aunt LuLu's class (she's not our aunt but that's what everyone called her) in two long rows and raced across the tops of them. They were the newer ones that had the legs off the front so they wouldn't tip over. (news flash: They Tip!)
29. Tom and I grabbed the side of a moving train (and not the slow one either) to show off in front of some girls.
30. Tom and I climbed Mt. Pinnacle, without any gear (or experience for that matter) because we dared each other and got stuck on the side of the mountain very high up.
31. "He dared me" will be on our tombstone.
32. Tom and I stole the 'yard of the month' sign from the famous "Osbourne's" house...not ozzie...the one with all the lights in Little Rock.
33. Most of my really good stories start with Tom and I.
34. I have 3 friends that are closer than a bother. Tom, Brandon and Rocky.
35. We've been buds for a long time. Tom (25yrs) - Rocky (27yrs) - Brandon (22yrs)
36. The first time I met brandon. I took all his marbles.
37. We spent alot of our time at Brandon's house making crazy movies.

and countless SNL type spoofs and skits.
38. I listen to real music CLASSIC ROCK!
39. Manufactured Pop isn't real music (ok so that's not a fact about me, but it is a fact) aka Britney,Boy Bands...etc.
40. Country music is banned from my house...as well as 'Barney' that purple dino.
41. Veggie Tales Rules!
42. I joined the National Guard to pay for college. I was a field medic. Tom Joined too.
43. They paired us up and gave us our own Hummer. It had 4 racks in the back for patients.
44. The military isn't known for their great decision making...see #27.
45. Tom and I would switch our jackets at drill and sign documents for each other. They constantly got us confused.
Once we were working on the Hummer and someone said "Chenowith (Tom), you're need in the office." Tom's much better
at vehicle maintenance than I am. So I took his jacket (which has Chenowith on the pocket) that's the only way the knew who was who. I went in, the Sargent looked at my name tag and said "Chenowith, you need to sign these." So I signed them and then told Tom what I (he) signed.
46. During our 2 week summer drill at Ft. Hood Texas I took out a whole enemy squad during a war game simulation. We had that cool hi-tech gadgets that beeped when you were shoot. It was very cool, but I'm still not an outdoors person.
47. "G" was started in college by David Atwell (actually they called me 'G-Money' but I just go by "G" now)

51. Jenn liked me, but hated G/Money. So did her friends.
52. Once after playing an intramural flag-football game (we won by the way) I was sitting with my boys recapping our victory and I asked Jenn to get me some water. She said "OK, as long as you don't make some smart comment when I'm gone." And I gave her that "Who Me?" innocent look. Well I didn't say anything....but G/Money couldn't help himself. "See that fella's. That's how you handle a woman. She's getting my drink ain't she." (I didn't know that Jenn had stopped around the corner to listen to me) She came back in. "Here's your drink baby." (quick glance to my boys...Yeah, that's right...who's the man) I took a big gulp...then spit it all over the floor. She must have put a pound of salt in my glass. I never did that again.
53. I went to see Jenn in Little Rock during her summer tour with the Share team. We hung out ouside and talked under the stars and then I saw headlights and realized it was the mail man. I was wayyyyyyy past curfew. I got home about 7am. I called my dad and he said mom hadn't gotten up yet so just go to bed and she'd never know. He was sooooo cool.

I am impressed. I don't know if I can come up with 100. I'll be lucky to get 25. One thing I'll disagree with is I've seen you attempt the snoopy dance. I don't think you can pull off the other two dances.

Good thing I didn't know about the stunts that Tom and you did back then. A moving train- how are y'all still a live? God was watching over you, too.
