In college, I once won an ice cream flavor naming contest with “Cannibal Crunch Surprise”.
I have solved a Rubik’s cube in 40 seconds. I solve it in under 60 seconds pretty consistently.
Enough people have seen me play guitar on youtube to sell out a 2-week engagement at Madison Square Garden.
I have been 14 miles away from the nearest paved road. I walked there.
The longest straight stretch I have ever lived solely on what I could carry on my back, including all food, shelter, and supplies, was 3 weeks.
The longest straight stretch of nights I ever slept outdoors in a tent was 3 months.
The longest straight stretch of nights I ever lived on someone else’s couch was 6 months.
The longest straight stretch I have ever been without a fixed address or direct phone number was 7 years.
I was the sound recordist on two motion pictures. Neither ever got released.
I camped for 2 nights on top of El Capitan in Yosemite. It was the quietest place I’ve ever been.
My senior project in college was titled “On The Mathematical Modeling Of Lowest Mode Sounding Frequencies Of Uniform-Bore Fipple Flutes”, because I specifically asked my advisor to help come up with a title that would impress my grandparents.
I once spent an entire night camped alone in the walled garden of a supposedly haunted mansion. Nothing weird happened (other than me camping along in a creepy walled garden.)
I have jammed on a pipe organ. It was awesome.
