A Recurring Theme

This poor unattended-to blog has been mishapen and woeful lately, so I will give it another chance at happiness. I don't take pleasure in recirculating old themes, but due to several friends' success at this challenge I suppose I'll give the 30 day challenge a shot. The idea is that I might actually tend to the blog if I force thirty different blogs about pre-selected subjects. It originally sounded like a myspace survey to me, but two good friends made it cool. Yes, peer pressure works.
In accordance with the 'regulations' of said blog, I must begin with fifteen random facts, a recent picture, and an introduction. I feel an introduction could be fitting due to the recent year-change and my feeling like a new person. More on that to come.



I am John Robert Gouldman III, and I go by Rob. Unfortunately everyone calls me Robbie, Robbles or something else inane and childlike. I just finished my AA at a community college and have very few credits between me and a Bachelors of Science, but have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. I work at Starbucks right now, but am in the process of getting into Siemens. Yes, that was a joke about gay sex. I like women, and am SUCH A HUNK. The above credentials verify that, so come and get a piece. My life is nothing short of a joke right now, and despite living luxuriously off of my parents I have very little money. I hope the ladies like McDonalds. I have strange OCD ticks, collect hats, obsess over dogs, and am a bad driver. I just recently started buckling up, and may live longer for it. There's a chance that if you live in the Southeast I've scared the fecal matter out of you on the road. I believe in a higher power and evolution, and think most religion is a great installment to keep humans from complete chaos. As far as politics goes, I don't know enough to really hold an argument. I took a test and I'm apparently pro big government and liberal. I am competitive, spoiled, cynical, sarcastic and sometimes a jerk. Now if you've gotten this far I'm sure you either know me or am done reading about how lame I am. But alas, I was simply buttering you up for the fifteen interesting facts:
1. I like to lay down in the shower, probably because I'm lazy.
2. My head hair grows out of control, but I can't grow facial hair or body hair.
3. I can juggle. I learned in Key West, and made bank. (for a twelve year old)
4. I've been to five continents, and twenty two countries. Thanks, mom and dad.
5. Dogs are my thing. If there's one in the room, I'm playing with it.
6. Myopia's my other thing. -4.25 right eye, -4.75 in the left. Like a bat.
7. I read. Books. I know it's not the 70s, but Bukowski makes me laugh.
8. I polevaulted in highschool. No that's not another gay joke.
9. A mix of OCD and love of music pushed me to collect 23000 songs. 30 playlists.
10. I secretly love HGTV. A gorgeous home says a lot to me.
11. I did ballet in elementary school. I think my mom was confused.
12. Having different smells around is crucial. Febreze and candles are my jam.
13. I love giving people things, and sometimes I get carried away.
14. Adrenaline junkie. If it's possibly dangerous, I'd like to try it.
15. Food. I love the stuff. I wolf everything down and don't know when to stop. It's going to eventually be a problem, but for now I'm enjoying my metabolism.
