Here are the rules:
Rule #1 – Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. http://thetallestbladeofgrass.blogspot.com/ – this is my sister’s blog. She has a pretty witty blog. The theme of her Blog is the Tallest Blade of Grass. She explains what that means on her blog. Check it out.
Rule #2 – Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
- My sister is the reason that I stopped cussing. When I was in fifth grade I almost cussed at her because she made me so angry. Right after the near mishap I said to myself that if I could slip up in front of my sister then I might also slip up in front of my parents. That scared me and so that was when I stopped cussing.
- When I was in middle school my dream was to grow up and be a Christian Rap Artist. I was heavily influenced by dc Talk. Soon after I announced this to family and friends Rap went the way of the gangster (i.e. Gangster Rap). Because I didn’t fit the gangster persona I gave up that dream.
- The night I proposed to Monica was the first time I told her I loved her. Before that moment I had never told another female that I loved her in a romantic way. I wanted to make sure that when I said it I meant it.
- The first music album I ever bought was “He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper” by DJ Jazzy Jeff’ and the Fresh Prince. It featured the song “Parents Just Don’t Understand”. I loved it! I bought it in a mall in Missouri. It was on tape…that is after records but before CD’s.
- I used to work at Subway as a “Sandwich Artist”.
- I was in a band in high school called “Six Day Wonder”. We once did a concert at the amusement park Kings Dominion.
- Because I went to elementary school in Germany I count with my fingers differently then most other Americans do. You know when you add something up and you use your fingers to count? Well I start counting with my thumb as the number one. Most Americans start with their pointer finger as number one and their thumb represents number five.
Rule #3 – Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their posts.
- Matt Kuchera – Good friend and my Padawan learner.
- Jake Holland – Funny dude plus he likes super heroes!
- Brian Norris – Shares a last name with Chuck…nuff said!
- John Finkelde – Australian pastor and good blogger.
- Kyle Walker – Funny Person & Great Friend.
- Phil Poteat – Worship Leader at Waters Edge and also a ninja.
- Terace Crawford – Blogging stud!
- Blake Maurice – my best friend from college. I know this thing said only post seven, but I wanted to do 8!
Rule #4 – Let each person know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
DONE!

I’m glad I was your inspiration to stop cussing. You learn something new on robshep.com every day.
You should have tagged 9 people to make up for the fact that I only tagged 5.
