Three Things Thing

I haven't been in the blogging community long enough(or just am not cool enough) to get tagged for one of those "list three things" in each category thing, so I figured I would make up my own categories and write my answers down. I made up categories that I didnt necessarily have answers to. Well here goes:

Three places to I want to visit before I die:
1. Reykjavik
2. Anywhere I can see the northern lights from
3. Kodiak Island, Alaska

Three things most of my friends don't know about me:
1. I have a terrible fear of water/drowning
2. That I write a blog
3. That I once watched a complete episode of "7th Heaven"

Three things I wanted to be when I grew up:
1. Astronaut
2. Baseball player
3. Truck driver

Three non-person loves and why defined in one word:
1. Baseball - fair
2. Vegas - excess
3. Alcohol - fun

Three favorite days other than wedding or child's birth(or related days, i.e. engagement):
1. Day my brother came home from med school in India for good
2. 9 years old, playing baseball in the park with my brother and dad (only time it happened)
3. My brother's wedding day.

Three worst days:
1. The day my best friend Steve told me we couldn't be friends because I had a fight with his girlfriend(who I introduced him to and was friends with before they started dating)
2. The day my wife and I discussed if we were going to make it as a married couple.
3. The day my brother left for India for medical school.

Three expressions I always use:
1. Right on
2. What a fucking douche bag
3. Run away (as stolen from Monty Python)

Three self esteem issues and how I cover them up:
1. Height - Napoleon complex
2. Not smart - learning random trivia and yelling out the answers I know on Jeopardy
3. Not funny - stealing lines from movies and TV and using them in appropriate situations in life.

Three promises I made to myself that as of now, I have not kept:
1. To read Don Quixote
2. To live in NYC
3. To earn enough money so that my wife can stay at home with our child during his first few years (which she wants to, despite how much she loves her job.)

Three goals that seem to be a lot harder to keep than they actually are:
1. Driving the golf ball straight every time.
2. Not eating fast food.
3. Calling my mom everyday to let her know how her grandson is doing.

For picking my own categories, this was a lot harder than I thought it actually would be. If anyone actually uses these, or makes up their own categories please let me know. I had to do a bit of introspection for most of them once I came up with the category. The three self esteem issues were of course the easiest.

Next time: My three favorite smells. Hint: one of them is not Drakkar Noir
