25 Things You Don’t Know About Drew

1) I miss my parents and not a day goes by where I don’t think about them.

2) I wish my sister lived closer, I call her everyday.

3) My wife’s strong personality keeps me balanced and I love her for it.

4) I cried the first time I watched my daughter perform in her first play. Watching her accomplish and achieve her dreams gives me an amazing feeling.

5) I plan my year according to vacations and then think about the vacation until I take it.

6) I wish I spent more time with my guy friends, doing guy stuff (fishing, playing cards, watching sports)

7) I can’t live without my DVR, how else would I watch my favorite TV shows?

8) I am a lazy friend, I do things with my friends when they call me, rarely do I call them.

9) I am too competitive and sometimes I take things too far.

10) I wish I sang in a rock band.

11) I think the best job in the world is either being a fiction book author or Scuba shop owner.

12) I think it is silly we don’t do more to protect our environment, if you don’t believe in global warming that is your prerogative. Wouldn’t it be nice to see more stars at night?

13) I’m the first person in my family to graduate college.

14) I’m embarrassed by my appearance.

15) Sometimes I disagree for the sake of argument, the devil’s advocate so to speak.

16) I get really angry really quickly, but it disappears as quickly as it appeared. (but I get too angry and I need to work on it.)

17) I wish my wife would sing more often, she has the best voice and I wish more people could hear her.

18) I am not “detail oriented” and sometimes things slip through the cracks, I’m working on it but I’m better for ideas than details.

19) I want to get more educated.

20) I’ve never held onto a job I didn’t enjoy.

21) I regret transferring schools my senior year to work in radio. If I would have stayed I could have won a state tennis championship (according to my coach).

22) My Mom always told me growing up that I’d be either a preacher, lawyer or entertainer, and so far I’ve done two out of three.

23) I like shopping for clothes at thrift stores.

24) I wish I was taller because I suffer from little man syndrome.

25) One day I want to run for office.
