Here are the 10 random facts that people don't know about me (well some do):
1) I have had my hair 18 different combinations including up to five colors at the same time. These include shaved (which I've done almost that many times) and natural. Talk about hair-raising.
2) I love to give hugs and high-fives. That almost everybody knows. What they don't know is either can make my day that much sweeter and can change a bad day into an amazing day.
3) I topped out at around 250 lbs. several years ago. And I've lost 45 lbs. of it and at one point dropped another 15 lbs. off of that. Thank you exercise and eating better and taking out gluten for that.
4) I am a hero. I am also a bad dude.
5) I like the name Ian Bott for two reasons: 1) both names increase the chance for puns 2) it is perilously close to James Bond (my middle name is James.) I have gotten called 007 by one of my ex-coworkers in the past.
6) I am probably the most feminine and straightest bisexual man you'll ever meet.
7) My activism career started because of someone in my youth group and has taken all sorts of turns. That is something that has started with church and gotten heat because of church. But I still contend that my God is a God of love and is a fan of this.
8) I blame church for my coffee and my Dutch Bros. addiction. More accurately, a church member for Dutch Bros. and church camp for coffee. I will contend this to my grave.
9) 8th grade was when I made my first field goal in basketball. It is also the time that I scored a wrong-way basket and almost got what would've been my only technical if I didn't quiet down. The year before that I got my first foul and I finished my school ball career with as many fouls as field goals and my Special Olympics career had almost equal to fouls and field goals. There was one tournament where I had 8 fouls and scored 12 field goals and in my final game I had 2 fouls and 1 field goal. Talk about a bad dude.
10) I quote rap battles and watch them all the time. And I have a bad YouTube fixation. But I am still not much of a TV watcher, I'd rather read or watch YouTube.
Bonus couple: 1) I voted for Obama twice and 2) my own Mom said that I've always been unconventional and she once said I'm an alien.
Hope this series was entertaining. Stay tuned for the next one, a blog on walking.
