QotD: Complimentary

What is the greatest compliment you've received?
Submitted by Maraschino.  

This is a weird one to answer… it almost feels like no matter what I write will sound like a “LOOK AT ME!” response… Ahh… what the heck… I have received two different greatest compliments, one from my wife, and the other from a number of people I know:

My wife was in another relationship when we first met, she eventually dumped the guy. The reason she told me was,  “Regardless of whether you or I ever got together, I had to break up with him because you showed me that there are actually decent men out there…” (I paraphrased a bit to keep it from being to personal). I was a tad floored by this.

The other compliment I have received is… forget it… I’ve tried to type it three times and just sounds full-of-myself.

steelie’s first video post…

Well here it is… my first video post in all it’s non glory. I mentioned earlier this week that I was planning to do a video post sometime this week so I figures I should slide it in before midnight strikes here to stay true to my word…

Please don’t expect a lot from this video post… it’s a first for me… the lighting sucks… my hair sucks… I really should have shaved… it’s not glamourous by any means… I almost rerecorded it but that would kinda defeat part of what I would like to do with my posts which would be to stay as true as possible to the moment at hand. I will lose my train of thought. I will stutter. I will get flustered. I will laugh at myself. I will annoy myself… but I will be myself.

This is steelie’s first video post… it is far from perfect… but it’s here.
Feedback and constructive criticism appreciated.

Okay… so, I’ve just been tagged…

…by Julé, which means that I (in the spirit of fun) now have write a list of five things that nobody knows about me… I got thinking about this and have come to the conclusion that it’s not as easy as it sounds… Oh well, let’s give it a whirl…

  1. I’m one of the co-captains of my soccer team… not because I’m the best player or have exceptional skills (by any means) but because of a particular game, in a particular tournament I played in… a few players didn’t show up, including our keeper, so we had noone to go in nets. I volunteered on the basis that everyone keeps the ball out if our end because I SUCK in nets (don’t believe me? ask my wife). I started in nets and then got shuffled around the field as the other players showed up. I ended up playing EVERY position on the field that game: keeper, left & right defence, stopper, sweeper, left & right wings, centre (left & right) midfield, and left & right striker. I didn’t complain so I was made captain.

  2. I’m thirty years old and I’ve been with my wife for over a third of my life.
  3. I’m listed on IMDB.com
  4. In junoir high (grades 7-9 here) I stole a watch off the floor of our gym changing room. I felt so guilty, that I gave it away. To this day that watch still haunts me… I forever wish that I had turned it into the lost & found instead of giving it away. I don’t feel as guilty for taking it in the first place because I learned a lot about myself in that extremely brief period of time when I had a stolen watch in my posession… a watch that I stole.
  5. I am nude in at least a couple of different place on the internet… 😉

Well, that’s it… I guess I’ll tag Jared, semblance, wife, Elellanyar Rilmavilyawa, and Lauren.
Have fun.
