Surprised but not really...

I thought my life would be a certain way as a child, in my childlike way. Though maybe not all in the context I thought I would learn these things, I'm still surprised to have learned these things about myself through the years:

-How much blood I can lose before passing out.
-How to stick a needle in my thigh, butt, stomach and shoulder.
-How to push my intestine back through a hole into my body.
-What it feels like to hit the ground, water or another person with enough force to be knocked out.
-How to remove my own sutures and staples.
-Just how far and how long I can walk with 60lbs on my back.
-How many days I can go without solid food, liquids only.
-How to cut my own hair.
-Learning anything about radiation, nuclear physics and other hard sciences.
-How to sky dive.
-That I would travel to countries once considered the enemy during my lifetime.
-That I could stay awake 48 hour without sleep.
-That I would climb the highest mountain in the lower 48.
-That I would win awards for martial arts and shooting competitions.
-That I would work and attend school in foreign countries.
-That I'd have friends in the black world. (I don't mean race)

Life is just crazy. Or at least it has been, as I have no idea how it could be crazier in the future?

No surprise then...

No surprise then that only 1 of the 3 kids called me on Father's Day.
