A Rowdy life recollected....

As today is my birthday, notice the cute baby pics one post down, I thought I would reflect on the things that I have done in life, or that have happened to me, that equal living a 'rowdy' life. My rowdy life.

-Driving a Porsche 911 around Laguna Seca.
-Traveling to over 16 foreign countries. Travel has been a huge rowdy life blessing.
-Being in a war. Getting shot at and such.
-Swimming with sharks. In and out of the cage.
-Enjoying a variety of extreme sports by mountain biking, snowboarding, rock climbing, wake boarding, surfing and motorcycles.
-Running a half marathon with no training. In under 2 hours.
-Surviving 10 surgeries.
-Graduating from college later in life.
-Owning over 200 good books at any one time.
-Various motorcycle/police chases all ending in my favor.
-Touching historical and cultural icons over 2,000 years old.
-Speaking to people in another language.
-Learning as a kid how to camp, shoot a gun, fish, hunt, cook over fire, tie knots, read a map.
-Skydiving. Bungee jumping. Check. I've even piloted a plane a few times.
-4 broken bones. 4 concussions.
-Having something published. Even if only on the local independent level.
-All the amazing natural wonders I've seen. Too many to list.
-Divorce, bankruptcy, unemployment, addiction. All of them overcome.
