WingedSerpent

Piloted a nuclear submarine. 

My oldest brother was in the navy. One week, they had a family visitation day and several families  got to go with the crew of a nuclear sub as it went out into open water.  (still within American waters).  We got to sit down at the helm and with a crewman next to us we got to sit at the control and do some basic movement. 

I once saw a stripper have an ecliptic seizure on stage
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

I've donated bone marrow (and still have a dimple on my hip as a souvenir).

I've tried acupuncture, gua-sha, rolfing, and reiki.

I've free-roamed an amusement park that was closed for the off season.

I've been to Bobby Mackey's, "supposedly" the most demon-haunted honky-tonk in America. (Zzzzz.)

I've stood atop the Eiffel Tower.

I've seen a wild black widow spider up close.

I've been to the Alamo at three AM.

I've ridden an elevator with George Clooney's dad Nick.

I've been patted on the head by John Glenn.

I've seen softball-sized hail.

I met my soul mate.

I met my soul mate.


Aw that tops anything I've done.

 I survived a heart arrhythmia, even though the doctors said that there was no medical explanation for how I lived long enough to get help. The nurses said it was because I was too stubborn to die.

In order to keep the arrhythmia from coming back I lost 170 pounds in just over 2 years. I still struggle with it at times, but i'm generally on top of it.

I've had long conversations on two separate occasions with women who told me that they were actively possessed by the devil.

I spent the night with  girl in a cemetery on Halloween looking for ghosts or the Great Pumpkin or something .( Much more crowded than you'd think. But no ghosts.)

I met Dan Aykroyd in the bathroom at the Oprah Winfrey Show. He signed my friend's cast.

I once ate an entire 18 inch sausage and mushroom pizza in one sitting

I bottle fed a baby okapi



I told fortunes at a bar one Halloween using home made Viking Rune Stones. We didn't charge but we did accept donations. We used the money to go to other bars.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate ( No wait...)


Last Halloween I dressed like a Minion!

I slept on the beach in Corpus Christie for a week. Near the end of the week I got to see sea turtles hatch out of their eggs and crawl into the sea.

I Delivered a pizza to Wayne Newton.

JaseSF

Fell asleep driving but luckily didn't have an accident.
Wrote TV episode reviews on the internet at a time that there were not many others doing so.
Beat the top score in Defender on Atari five times in a row once.

"This above all: To thine own self be true!"

ER

Sneezed seven times in a row. T'wasn't pretty but it was probably lucky.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

  At twelve, I was raped by a classmate.

  I was raped by three older kids when I was thirteen, at an institution called Boy's Village, in Ohio; I told on them, and was told that I was lying.

    I was a male prostitute at fourteen, in Omaha.

  At seventeen, a friend and I served as bodyguards for a seventeen year old female hooker in my hometown of Lorain, Ohio.

  On 31 October 1978, I died of a drug overdose; I was without heartbeat or respiration for two minutes and thirty seconds, they told me.

  I've seen, heard, felt, and been scared silly by ghosts on more than one occasion.

  I went to prison in 1997 for stabbing an eighteen year-old prostitute in Cleveland; I was having a bad reaction to anti-depressants.

     Thanks to Jesus, and my wife, I've re-discovered love, trust, and the glorious ability to laugh at myself.
