They are the folk who shaped my life, they made me the goofball that you know and might love, this is probably the only place you'll see the bunch of them in one sitting and who else would put them all together but me?? I'm the glue that my world is made of and lacking that bond, the bunch as a whole would fade off into their own personal solo acts.
One of them helped spark this idea and as we did giggled for most of an afternoon, being who you are, it's a fine twisted idea, thanks!
The number one person in my wife who also co-stars in the video above. I would do anything for, we had a rocky patch but I think we pulled out stronger in the end. I can't help being hopelessly in love with you my dear. She's also step mom to number 10.
The Number 2 is Larry, my lifelong partner in crime, ex-roommate and wife to Jen. He's the ex husband of my number 6 and co-father of number 11 (who is my other son). Contrary to popular belief, we have never dated any of the same girls (and it's likely we never slept with any of the same ones either because they would never go back to him). In general, we both like open mic poetry, dark beer, sleeping on each others couches and talking smack to each other. Over the last decade, other then my wife, I’ve spent more time hanging out with him, he's saved my life more then any dozen Marines and he deserves the number two spot for being with me through everything, no matter how high, low or sideways. We’re there brother.
My Number 3 is Jason, who gets the spot for being my oldest friend in life. He's the first person I met when I moved to Prescott Valley in 6th grade, our first words on the bus were, "can I sit here?", "Sure", "this is my first day", "me too!". And from then till the end of high school we were like a pair of dice in a gamblers hand, always hanging out and shaking things up. He just appeared out of the blue (and on the internet) after a long absence, he’s also the number one ex-husband of number 4. Jason was my best friend years before I know anyone else anywhere. He holds in his head more embarrassing stories then anyone on this list (I was a total geek and as a good wine, I improved with age). Glad you’re there man.
Number 4 who has the spooky ability to to make the same song play in her head as me. No kidding reach out and there she is. I’ve been friends longer with Justin but Justin isn’t a myspace person and doesn’t leave cool comments so he has been moved down to number 5, plus in my twisted sense of humor which is known for its dark patterns, I've placed her between her two ex-husbands which is seriously tasteless but tremendously funny. When we talk, the patterns in our head synchronize and we can visualize what the other is thinking. It can be spooky, in another past life we probably were raging lovers but in this one I'm happy we're just buddies!
Number 5 is Justin with whom I went into the Navy with in 1991 on the buddy system. He is my second oldest friend next to Jason and we've spent many years apart. We went in to get back at two separate girls named Shannon (not the smartest thing we've ever done but it didn't turn out too bad). We followed the same set of girls for a while and I’m very glad we’re over that. Sharing girlfriends is sort of creepy if you think about it. Out of all of my friends, he and I went though the most together in the early 90’s and he’s my brother from another mother. He’s also the ex husband to number 4, glad we’re talking again buddy and we need to have some lobsters and beer when you come down.
Number 6 is Dana, for whom out of all of my friends, I have fought with the most. I have also written her the most and if you like my writing, thank her, she was the first of my penpals and thinking about the thought process of writing letters to her has affected the writing of the rest of my life. Recently, I we’ve moved out of the arguing stage for which I am eternally thankful for, sorry about the rough times and thanks for being my non-romantic muse of poetic writing.
My number 7 is Paul with whom I hold to blame for every off colored remark or twisted joke I have ever made. In his black soul rests a multitude of pranks and he's a talented writer of humor and one of the funniest people I know. When he was a regular in my life, if I had a wickedly crazy idea, he had the same one first and that’s saying a lot, well except for the throwing of camel spiders, that was all Jason’s fault. We’ve had our ups and downs, shared a worship of a girl named Heather (not my wife) but neither of us got the prize in the end. I’m glad I didn’t because after marrying my wife, I realized that while that Heather was way hot and cool but she wasn’t the right Heather for me and I couldn't have made her happy. Whatever, it’s great having you back.
Number 8 is Dan (and by extension Kathy) who are about to spawn, I remember hanging out with Dan in prehistory, I turn around and there is Dan with Kathy on his arm or him on her arm. I’ve had deep conservations with both of them and I look forward to our future ones. They’re there because they’re good people and have been friends to all of us and I could imagine any of us hanging out with them at any given time.
Number 9 is one of my oldest friends in the Navy, probably going to be the old man of the Navy one of these days. Thanks for always being there when I needed you.
Number 10 is my son Collin, he's a dork who needs to get more geeky habits so he can be cooler, I love you son.
Number 11 is my other son Alec who is co-fathered by my number 2, he's almost 18 and going to move out, ack! We're getting old!
Number 12 is my wonderful Won, my lifetime female wingman whom I hope gets done with this education thing so we can hang out more, I miss you.
I'm a Navy Corpsman who has been over to Iraq 4 times, am married to the wonderful pink haired girl you see in all of the pictures, we had a shelter dog named Gatsby and a 14 year old son who's my number 10. My regular blog is at Doc in the Box, I also have a photo website which 7000 plus (no kidding) and you can find me on youtube. I am contributing writer to both the Navy Times and the Marine Corps Times and have been published in two books, “The Blog of War” and the “Sand Box”, I was also featured on the History Channel's “Band of Bloggers” and have made appearances on CNN and MSNBC and my blog has been written about by the AP, LA Times and San Diego Union Tribune.
I'm 35 years old, I'm a 1st Class Hospital Corpsman who's been in the Navy for 15 years. Got out after my first 7 year hitch after being stationed at China Lake, went to school for Autotronics, worked the field till right after 9/11 and realized that my real talents were being put to waste so I signed up again and ended up with a Marine Helicopter squadron out at Edwards AFB. Now stationed in San Diego.
Other things in my life, was married prior to my current wife for 5 years and have a son named Collin who's 14 from that marriage. I rockclimb, had a day or two of partying, read way too much and getting to the point in my life I can fix anything body, soul or machine. In 5 years and some change I'll hopefully have to find a job that can use my various talents.
