Something About You! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Hi, I just read a thread from Formerdoormat and many suggested doing a different thread (instead of us just talking about the person addicted in our lives)
Why not share something/anything about yourself?

Go for it!

Loks like this could be intersting, nothing to exciting or interesting on my end but I'll give it a shot.

28, and I live in a town right outside of Kansas City. Only been here a year in late May, originally from St. Louis where I was born and raised all my life. I have 2 dogs, ones a black lab who weighs 110 pounds with most of that being solid muscle. I got him when he was 3 and his previous owners never taught him how to walk on a leash. So the first time I put one on him he about tore my arm off as I was trying to walk him. My other dog is a miniature pincher mix who thinks he's the 110 pound muscle dog of the house. So ironically enough I named him Odin! Also have 2 cats who hang out here. Don't usually have much to do with me unless they want their food bowls filled back up. Also the youngest one has the tendency to play with my feet when I'm sleeping. And a little insight on me, I hate having my feet touched! So you can imagine how crazy I get when I feel tiny little claws and teeth touching them.

One of my main passions is weight lifting. It's one of the only hobbies or pursuits I kept up with during my drinking. I have pretty good genetics for getting big and strong, it's just a shame I stunted my growth with all the drinking I've done. I could be much more further along if not for it. But hey I'm still young enough to build and eventually compete in powerlifting one of these days. I actually can cook fairly well and I enjoy it. I make a mean meatloaf and a pot of chili. Also love to get out in the yard and fire up my grill. The last 2 years on Christmas eve I've gotten out in the yard and bbq up a pork loin roast for my family to eat for our dinner. I do that in respect to my Viking ancestors, for when they celebrated the Yule season they would roast a wild boar. I have 4 tattoos. Wolf on my left shoulder. Dragon on my left forearm. Skull in tribal flames on my right inner wrist. And a spin off of Thors hammer that's used by my favorite band manowar on my right forearm. Actually if you check out my myspace page you should be able to see most of them on there: MySpace.com - Barbarian - 28 - Male - Outskirts of Kansas City, Missouri - www.myspace.com/barbarian3

Outside of that not much. I'm looking to get back into Martial arts again someday. Also I always wanted to learn to play the drums so looking to maybe get a drum kit somewhere down the road and take up lessons. Personality wise I consider myself a pretty laid back person. I usually like to get people laughing. I have a cross between goofball/dorky/sarcastic/crude sense of humor. So if you like dry witty remarks or fart jokes then I probably can tell a joke or say something that will get you laughing. So that's pretty much me summed up in a few paragraphs. It's not every little detail about me and my life but you get the basic idea.
