Random fact about yourself

First thing I learned when I got to germany was how to say: "I'm Sorry" LOL!

Random Fact: I used to be a HUGE metal head - and still throw in some Iron Maiden, Metallica or Tool when I get the feeling to rock out. I tried to get Metallica tickets a few years back, they sold out in minutes.

How can you be a Christian and listen to Iron Maiden???

Just kidding. But I've heard that before. I still listen to them and some of my other "metal head" favs...

I saw Metallica in concert ... sheesh... how long ago was that? Like...1995-1996? lol

Good show, though!

I saw P!nk live, in concert, at a gym at the University of NH in 2001, just before she made it big. The tickets were $20 each, no assigned seating. There was an unknown (to us in NH) playing there the following weekend who's ticket sales were so bad, they gave all of us who saw P!nk free tickets to his show. I threw my tickets away.

It was 50 Cent. LoL!

A fellow metal head!!!!!

I saw Metallica in '86 with Cliff Burton (who was amazing!). Also saw Iron Maiden twice, Judas Priest, Ozzy (horrible...), The Ramones, and a plethora of punk rock bands in my b.c. days. For a good Christian fix, check out P.O.D.

Random fact, since we are on the topic: I twice used references to Iron Maiden songs in English papers, once in high school and once in college. Received A's on both!

Random Fact -

In Jr. High/HS I was kind of a MOD/Prep/early SKA kid (mostly listened to things like the Beat, Specials, Madness, etc). As such - the metal (and back then metal = glam metal) kids and I didn't "see eye to eye"...lol

I remember more than one occasion almost getting into fights (and on a few occasions real ones) walking across campus and hearing some metal kid wearing a t-shirt with some big haired makeup-eyeliner (check out early 80's Motley Crue if you're too young to remember) wearing band yell out "***" (think "gay", but another 3 letter word...lol) - to which I'd turn around and point at their t-shirt saying..

"Really?"

DZoolander · Jan 11, 2013

Once again...Really?

I mean, if there's one thing that just screams "heterosexual" it's pink leopard skivvies under white leather bedazzled chaps.

I like some metal very much but just for the record...so true.

Speaking of Motley, I read "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx - I learned WAY more about Motley Crue than I wanted to.

I was home schooled throughout Jr. High and High School....and hated it.

Tropical Wilds · Jan 11, 2013

My 5 favorite movies are:

1. Moulin Rouge
2. The Prestige
3. Equilibrium
4. The Women (1939)
5. Love Actually

Not in any particular order, despite the numbers.
