Every now and then a little trend gets around in the blogosphere and everyone is doing similar posts. For the most part, I don't usually participate in it because it gets old after awhile seeing so many similar posts. However, this one I wanted to do. It's the "100 Things You Didn't Know About Me" list. Of course if you know me, you know I like to do everything just a little different so I'm going to post "101 Things You Didn't Know About Me". 101 is always better than 100 right? Plus if you were in a bookstore and saw 100 things next to 101 things, which would you pick up to read? Exactly! So 101 it is and perhaps if you aren't tired of reading everyone else's 100 lists, you will check out mine...after all 101 is just better reading material. Everything you read here is true, whether it be funny, sad, shocking, whatever - it's all me.

90. My 10th grade composition teacher told me I had a real talent for writing. Before that, nobody told me I had a talent for anything and I didn't really believe her. I felt embarrassed when she read one of my papers out loud to the class. After numerous writing compliments from her, I still didn't believe her. Then in my senior year, she hit on me and to this day I don't know if she liked my writing...or just me.
91. The biggest turn on in bed for me is pleasing her - when she's into it and enjoying herself.
92. I don't understand why most men want to roll over and go to sleep after sex. I want to go a few more rounds.

97. I found out a girl I use to date had turned into a stripper when I ran into her in a strip club. Out of respect for her, I didn't watch her perform.
98. I told my buddy to give her whatever money I had left in my wallet and to tell her that she is beautiful and smart and shouldn't degrade herself like this - to get another job.
99. She's now married with a family and holds a degree in psychology.
100. Having regrets in life is bad, not being able to change is worse.
101. Alot of this was hard to write because it brings up memories and feelings I don't like to always admit are part of me.

#81 made me cry. Thanks for such a great post!!!
That is a really interesting and honest post. I can't think of ten things to say about myself not that I would want anyone to know about anyway.hehehe
Nice and revealing.
Uh oh, I don't want to make anyone cry. Sorry.
Did you ever post something and then later have second thoughts on sharing it? I think this is one of the posts that I'm on the fence about. I know some people will say don't pull it down, but maybe some of those things I should of kept to myself - I don't know.
Some of it's a little depressing and morbid, perhaps I should of kept it more funny/happy.
I like the post as it is. Very honest and very real. I can relate to a lot of the items on the list too.
#50. for real? :P
the rest... i'm speechless
How many years have we been friends and still I didn't know some of these things. What possessed you to reveal so much?
Mike
Perhaps I drank too much during yesterday's Steelers game and continued to celebrate the win into the evening with a few more. So that may of not been a good mix when I sat down later on to check e-mail and write a post. I probably got too revealing huh? I wasn't trashed or anything, just a small buzz. I do tend to open up a little too much when alcohol is involved. Oh well.
wow very good post you were very lucky that the emt took the time out to work on you !!!! very luck indeed I have seen too many of them turn around and walk off. not doing a thing even after seeing that they have a p.e.a wave on the monitor they will just take the lead off so it will show a flat line and I just watch in amazement at how in the world can they do that!!! sorry a p.e.a is pulseless electro activitiy means that you are still workable means they better start cpr and atleast try I have seen some cases where it is just absoulutly no way a person should have one but they do ex head being half on they shouldn't have one but they did it was a wierd thing to see kind of grossed me out actually but there was no way to bring that one back not at all. but you my friend were very lucky. *hug*
great list, very honest...
Really great list. But please, don't street race. You're tempting fate.
What a great list thanks, might have to do one myself I think.
I also use to skate when I was in high school. I can't say I've died before, but I was thrown off a motorcycle and broke my back and foot. Sex in the City and Sinatra are completely beyond! Love it all! Crazy how much one can have in common with a stranger. Great post!
Thanks for all the compliments.
About the motorcycle accident, I considered writing a post about it, telling the story. However, there isn't really much to tell because I was pretty much out of it. I don't remember anything following impact. So whatever I would write would be more "hearsay" than a firsthand account of what took place. Besides, that was a pretty dark time in my life so it's not something I like to think about much.
I do consider myself lucky though, lucky to of walked later, lucky to of healed up and just plain lucky to of survived. When the accident was called in, supposedly the police officer on the scene is the one that said it was a fatality and they weren't going to bother calling paramedics. Crazy huh? There is more to that story, but like I said it would be more of "hearsay" than a firsthand account since I wasn't conscience for any of it.
You had a quickie in your office at work!? That is massive!
Your 10th grade teacher hit on you!? Massive!!
I wish I had a friend like you.
Committed but lonely soul.
#12- A man after my own heart!
Great post! Its a shame that more men don't share your sense of value and meaning about love, respect and romance.
I also am a member of the mile high club and sex at work is GREAT!!! Wait, use to be great, I quit my job, boohoo!
I think it's great you could tell so much about yourself! I really enjoyed reading this!
p.s. Red heads are great, it's not always so easy to find a pretty one though! ;-)
I wish I had a friend like you.
Committed but lonely soul.

Hmm, I'm not really sure what to say to that...thank you and I'm a little confused. Am I the "committed but lonely soul" or was that how you were signing your name, like a Dear Abby letter?
Wez, that teacher hit on alot of the guys. So I can't let that go to my head. She was the slutty and inappropriate English teacher. Rumor had it that she slept with a student that had graduated a few years ahead of me. True or not, who knows. I actually had a crush on one of the OTHER English teachers at the school. Now she was something to see. Ahhh, reminisce.
brilliant and lovely and touching. i felt this.
Wow, that's a great post. I don't even know where to start! But about number 8 - what are you doing later? Eh? Eh?
But really, wow, you sound like such a good person. I hope you know that!
Thanks! :)
Yes, I like to procreate and blog at the same time. I'm a playa like that. Talented huh?
That was me, yesterday, 'committed and lonely'...the way I was, the way I was feeling.
Anyway, I think I've found an honest site after a while....Will be checking up on you. Anyway, seems you have lots of good friends surrounding you.
Dear Abby....
Sounds like a good idea...maybe you could start one? You obviously seem to have enough insight into the human soul....
- Alright today
I never did a Dear Abby type post, but I did takeover the Ask Jeeves site with this post...
http://diamondktblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/ask-jeeves-fired-ask-diamondkt-takes.html
As a lover of both Sinatra and a dog might just get a kick out of this.
wow Diamond that was the most sincere 100 things I have ever read. I feel like I almost know you now after reading that, nice to meet you :)
u left me speechless after that!I can relate to quite a few things on there, it was amazing and so touching- some of it really got to my heart!! U seem like an amazing person and a true friend to have. uve obviously been thru a lot. Be proud of yourself ur lovely.
I don't know how I stumbled.But I respect you for saying it out,allowed.I'm really glad that you shaved your head for your friend,and told this other stripper friend to switch careers.Impressive.
Beautiful. :) It's great to see a guy open up like that. And you are a great writer.
Thanks.
Its funny cuz I didn't realize all the things we have in common, and when we talk on our other site the conversation is kept so light that I would never guess u have been through so much tragedy. So I commend u for being so adjusted and wouldn't mind hearing some of these stories in detail if u are willing. I will eventually hit u up in your inbox regarding some of this stuff. U are a great writer by the way. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

39. I don't attend mass regularly anymore, so when I do pray, I wonder if God will still listen.
I don't think God takes attendance.
Beautiful post, hope our paths cross if you make it to the city.
Diamond,
I really like your list so much. It's such a huge range of feelings and memories. It's funny, when you're reading someone else's you just want it to keep going on and on because it's so fascinating. Like with Damsel's I got to the end and I was like "that's it?" and I did the same thing with yours!
take care :)
--snow
well done....#45 hits very close to home...I could only wish there were more men like you to stop things like that...perhaps I wouldnt then still see those bruises that have "faded away" so long ago... Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us all...
Thank you. You are very inspirational. I want to make one, even if i don't share it, i'll atleast have the honesty with myself.
I don't know you at all but I enjoyed reading all 100 things on the list. You seem like a great person who's already lived a rounded life. And I didn't think anything you said was particularly shameful.
I think it's really brave of you to post these things. I loved number 81, especially since I am a student nurse. I see cancer patients getting depressed, especially children who grew up too fast because of cancer. It warms my heart to hear of someone who would do such a thing.
I wish there are more people who are like you.
I just want you to know that I fight depression too, and everyone thinks i'm just being melodramatic or such. I feel so alone. I wish I had a friend like you who could understand.
You can always e-mail me. No problem there. :)
95. When I was 10, I picked on a kid in school. I want to find him now and apologize.
while i am not that kid, apology acceppted, for i was picked on and it makes me feel better to hear those words thankyou.
77. I have a good amount of friends and a pretty close family, but I still feel
lonely at times
i know exactly how you feel and i have sometime felt the loneiliest when around ppl.
71. I've acted like a clown my whole life to disguise when I'm in pain.
ditto
30. I'm a kid at heart.
the best thing, is when i am around my neices and nephew and go to the park/whereever and for once forget the troubles of life and look through the world from a kids percpective.
8. I never knew how badly I wanted to be a Dad until my niece was born.
ditto except me mum. its the best feeling hold a child in your arms, cant explain it.
thankyou so very much for barring your soul to all in this way, i am sure you have helped more ppl then you relise.
Wow. I felt every kind of emotion just by reading this!
My favorite was #95 and the one when you shaved your head and smiled at your buddy that had cancer.
You seem to be a bag of gold, toots!! :D *xoxo*
these 101 things beat dozens of roses and chocolates. if some man comes up to me with all these 101 things to say about himself...it'll be harder to say no to him.
Great list, very insightful into how you tick!
#89. just out of curiosity... why didn't you just tell her you were in love?
bre said...
"#89. just out of curiosity... why didn't you just tell her you were in love?"
I don’t know, good question.
Girls in Vegas don’t take kindly to hearing the word "no" as an answer. So I guess I said it because I figured she would hassle me less if I say I’m gay as opposed to being in love with another girl.
Blog hopped and found your blog. Fell in love with this lovely post. It's so sincere and...raw...
I'm missing someone like you in my life...haha... okay now I sound weird and stupid... like #56 on your list... I'll shut up now. :D
#28...you can wrap your arms around me at night *wink wink*
Okay lame joke!
I love reading these posts...they're both entertaining but very real at the same time!
It's appreciated in the blogging world :)
I think I'll try this.
Although this was posted almost 2 years ago and I know I'm a tad late, it was a really good read. I like learning about the past and experience of the people whose blog I read. Yours was especially interesting and at times surprising.
Lookin' around your blog and just read this. Wow! You're very honest - which is good. Defn. a good read and much more interesting than my list (which I have not posted yet.) I love that you tuck your dog in - I do that too, complete with kiss on the head.
Thank you. But my dog, the dog I wrote about in this particular post, died shortly after I published this. She was 18 years old. She was my first dog and my childhood pet, so she is greatly missed.
However, I have a new four-legged buddy now and love him dearly, despite the fact he is entirely different than my last dog, but different in a good way. And I tuck him in bed at night with kiss on his head, just as I did with her.
This was beautiful. I KNEW I had gotten my inspiration for my own
"101" blog but I couldn't remember from whom. So thank you. :)
I don't trust people as much as I used to either.
And I really hope that asshole who tried to rape your (at the time) girlfriend got some help... being that rapists are the most likely to be repeat offendors and jeez I just.. ugh. i hope he left and cleaned up.
also, i really enjoyed reading this.
I don't usually comment on peoples blogs, but I had to say this was beautifully bittersweet.
Your 101 is the most descriptive about who you are than most I've read. Good for you. This is an excellent, and very honest, post.
34. I tuck my dog into her bed every night with a kiss on her head and say "nite buddy".
that is the sweetest thing! i loved this post. i might have to do this one...
This was so sweet. I don't think you should take it down. Yes, some of it was morbid and depressing as you say but people really relate to it. It's nice to see that guys really do go through these things as well. I would have never thought that and it helps me as a female to see things from a guy's point of view.
I just stumbled upon your blog from the 20 something's group on ning, and I gotta say, this is probably the best "101" list I've ever read on a blog! Kudos to you :)
That was really fantastic! How long did it take you to do this? It's so well thought out! I don't think I could find 100, let alone 101, things to say that I wouldn't mind everyone knowing!
Lovin your blog!
Thanks!
I have no idea how long it took me to write it, maybe 30 minutes?
I call it "flow" - one of those days where I can just sit down and write without giving much thought to what I'm saying, it just flows out and fits together nicely. I like those days and I guess it was one of those days when I wrote this list.
LOLLLLL awesome post! We have a lot in common, besides looking down the shampoo girls shirt when getting a haircut. And thank you for liking "Sex And The City!" I knew there existed a guy out there who appreciated it and isn't gay!!!
Man, I'm officially your fan, and I'm a newbie in all this blogging thing. There are things you enlisted I'd love to have/be in a couple of years. Or maybe I'd just like to have a buddy that is not as fucked-up/immature as most of my pals are. Ha! Saludos desde Mexico.
That's an interesting thing to do, not to reveal your life to strangers, but to reveal it to yourself.. But 101 is definitly too long (for me).
Such a great post. Honest and touching. I need to do this one day. I think it may take me longer to compose my thoughts though.
I think it's awesome that you like Sex and the City.
I think you saved the best statement for 100.
I'm officially a fan now, even if I've only read one post so far. I still find it impressive to know that not all people fit into molds. Your "confessions" were all too varied, and I love discovering how deep some people can really be. :)
I love how open you were in this post. A lot of people are afraid of being this open and honest.
I've been having fun reading your blog and your interest in Post Secret is awesome.
I may have to add you to my blogroll and keep tabs.
On one of the posts...
'grades wouldn't of'
should be
'grades wouldn't HAVE' :)
You're so adorable. Good-looking but it's the way you write and think that seals the deal.
(I'll admit, I typed right instead of write and had to change it. Lemme know if you ever need an editor :P)
Thanks. I could always use an editor.
That of/have thing is a mistake I made quite often a few years ago, which is when this post was written. These days, I do my best to catch it and correct it.
wow....
im speechless...
u said that even u had famly n frenz...
but u still feels alone sumtime...
i guess evryone had the same feeling...
no one could ever really understand us...
they cant read our mind...
thats y we need to communicate with others...
xpress our feeling so that when we r dealing wit sumthin...
they will know...
n mayb they will b by our side...
alone is gud...
thats show that u had ur own space...
but too "alone"
it will make u sad...
hope that u nver feels alone again...
('u')
I may just be in love with you after reading this post. I just found your blog and wishing I did sooner. This is like one of the best blogs I have ever read. You are good!!!
I really like your post...I think I'll do one too but its too revealing like you said. You've had a lot of ups n downs in your life but i think you've taken it really well..u sound like a really nice guy. I bet you are aware of that already..haha! Looking forward to your other posts. This is the first blog I actually feel like following. Cheers!
# 18 could have been more ...ahem... "appropriate" if it said:
"I spell like a 2 year old, but the world doesn't no thanks two "spell cheque"."
Or something like that.
(Like the "Eye halve a spelling chequer" poem....)
Sorry, warped sense of humor at work....
# 24? I know people that have been on meds for depression...and then put on other meds because the first ones made them "too happy." And then put on other meds because of some side effect or other that the second ones could produce, and then put on other meds because.... All without taking these people off any of the other medications.
And one or more of the later medicines had a likely side effect of (drumroll, please)...
Depression.
# 45: Good for you. I wouldn't feel sorry for your action, either.
# 46: That'd be me if I had more money to spend.... And yet....
# 101. You have more courage than me. My life story isn't anywhere near like yours (whether it's a difference or merely a lack of experience on my part, I couldn't say--though I imagine it's both), but if it were, I don't think I could manage to tell people about it.
80. I've had a close friend die from cancer.
81. I shaved my head to make her feel pretty after chemo, to make her laugh and not feel alone.
82. I smiled when she smiled, then after I left the hospital, I cried because I knew her fate.
that's very nice of you. many people posted comments.
97. I found out a girl I use to date had turned into a stripper when I ran into her in a strip club. Out of respect for her, I didn't watch her perform.
98. I told my buddy to give her whatever money I had left in my wallet and to tell her that she is beautiful and smart and shouldn't degrade herself like this - to get another job.
and that one too.
reading this one makes me think that you are a nice person.! :D
Great post! Very refreshing & real.
75. I love an adrenaline rush!

This and many others makes my blood rush...
I dont know what suprised me the most about your post. How truly genuine you seem or the fact that the person who wrote is a man! Its very refreshing to to see someone just open up so much spically to all the hurt you have been through.

Even though some of your experiences are slightly different, I felt like I was listening to my own "head voice" while I was reading your 101 things.
____________________________________
It's not that amazing, but as I think more on it, I get the feeling you and I have a lot of the same values, regrets and judgments. I like you when I read your stuff so I guess I create hope that I am like-able. I am not sure if I am in the long run.
This was just amazing...
A few of my friends took me to a strip club when I turned 18 as a joke, because I'm not really the type of girl who would be like, "OMG! Let's go to the strip club!" haha Anywho, when we got there, I ran into my best friend from Junior High...as my guy friend stuck a 10-spot in her g-string. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years...and here she was shoving her breasts into my buddies face. I gave her everything I had in my wallet, my new address, phone number and email and told her that I was always going to be here for her... She emailed me about a month of so ago -- she's now enlisted in the Navy and she's never been happier.
Also, the one about...a best friend passing? My best friend in high school passed away a week before my 17th birthday. She was stabbed to death. They ruled it a suicide. I saw her the day before it happened and my birthday present was going to be a concert coming up in the next two weeks. They found the tickets covered in blood.
Sorry, I havn't really talked much about either one of those incidents, but seeing your courage to post yours on here, I figured "what the hell" -- you might understand. :)
Anywho, congrats on the Blogspot. You're an amazing writer... I can only hope to be that good someday!

i had my toughest moments last year and was hurting badly.everyone knew that but i pretended that i'm fine and keep on smiling.the truth is i cried only when no one's around.
great list!!if only i can come out with something like this
stumbled upon here by chance.. thanks to blogs of note. randomly i decided to check out urs, n i m glad i did, cz i hav never seen a better and more truthful post than this. wow. n i thought ppl on blogs can be fake to d point of being ridiculous!!! :P
Will be back to read up some more. till thn keep writin. :)
Cheers,
Annie. :)
I hope I can make a list like this when I'm your age. It seems you've had a hard life at parts but have always come through it.
I enjoyed reading this a lot.
I thought I was an honest brave individual, until I read this...I can understand your second thoughts after posting it... I dont think I know many people willing to strip themselves like you have...very admirable.
K.
this is such a very brave post.. :) two thumbs up for you,. hehe
I came across your blog by coincidence.
I was speechless while reading your post. You are truly a gifted writer and should continue down this path. You have a true gift, I was absorbed and mesmerized by the words.
#45 hit closest to home for me. I wish someone would have been there for me to stop this from happening to me. You are an Angel....
Incredible post. Exposing so much of yourself like you did, is incredible. I can definitely relate to #77. There are just those times when it feels like no one really knows what you're going through, and you have to go through it alone. I've been there.
I like reading the posts you write, but the way girls flirt with you through comments is even more hilarious. One after another.. lol I was kinda disappointed no one said anything about 87, 91, & 92.
Yeah, those ones are a little dirty, huh? ;)
Haha yea, but moreover, they are the perfect set up for your admirers to catch and ambush you with funny pick up lines.
very informative and refreshing and honestly, it takes balls to do that. kinda makes me want to take the time and write out "101" (haha) things about me. wonder how much alcohol I'd need to tap into my juicy subconsciousness. and look at all the lovin' on here. . us, ladies find it agonizingly appealing when a man can open up like a tri-fold brochure. cheers!
That's so nice you write about yourself that frankly...Especially about feelings. That really touches hearts
I found you through "Blogs of Note". At first I thought it would be written by a woman...because of the Natasha Bedingfield song. Usually, I'm drawn to women's blogs, but I find your blog interesting.
This post was so moving and I don't even know why, which is disturbing. I will have to do more processing.
Anyway, thank you for being so honest.
I like the way you write too! Simple words and yet comprehensive.
I sincerely hope you find someone who'd appreciate you for who you are.
God bless!
glad that i "discovered" your blogpage. it's full of substance. if i could write even just half of how you write i'd be freakin happy. hope to come up with my own list but might take a while to even come up with 50! ^^
#100 was very inspiring... #82 was touching. and i love it when you talked about the joys of falling in love...
Gosh.... so honest... 80, 81 and 82 made me cry (I'm a softy) ....I would never be able do a '100 things you didn't know about me' post.. NEVER! Way to revealing.... or more to the fact... nothing to write about really! Very well done!
Wow, what an incredible post and still timely after two years....#74? I can't imagine....
And, I think God is always listening, especially when we're being authentic.
Thank you for the great reveal!

Bravo. It's nice to know that there are men who can be vulnerable and sincere and can still hold their own. And the whole chest hurting from a broken heart? Amen.
So, my boyfriend actually recommended you to me in his blog post, and this was the first thing I really read about you. I feel like I know you already, and I'll prolly start following you as well. It takes alot of bravery to post and keep up a list like this that details so much of your inner workings. I admire how you reacted when faced with serious things like a guy trying to rape your girlfreind (feel no guilt, maybe this saved all the other girls he was looking at), when your ex was working as a stripper, most men would still have watched her, if not cat-called her. You're a very admirable person, not only because of how you treat others, but because you've grown so much from the little boy that couldn't get good grades and probably dealt with his family always calling him lazy while he fought depression. Okay, I've talked too much. Nice to meet you, I hope to follow more of your blog. ^_^

102 BABY!!
First... I am SOOOOO damn envious of 36!!! I need an office already!
In general, you sound like a sweet, stand-up, romantic kind of guy! Why the hell are you still single? And I'm sorry you've felt lonely, it's a crappy feeling!
I love that you touch Diesel's tongue. Pets are awesome! I know when the one of my kitties yawns and they forget to put their tongue back in I always try to hold it til they are fed up. Hehehe! And Diesel has the sweetest little face, too.
There you have it! ;)
I'm still single because girls are mean?
Ok, not ALL girls are mean, but SOME are. And the last girl I really liked was pretty rotten to me at the end. So I'm being extra cautious of who I become emotionally involved with.
WOW!! I think that resumes how I feel right now.. just WOW!!! Amazing post.
This was so honest, it made me cry. Thank you for sharing a part of your life.
I LOVE your honesty. This post was amazing.
It takes a lot to share so much of yourself. Bravo to you :)
Gah. Looking down the shampoo girl's shirt... Ehh, now I'll be official creeped out every time I have to wash a guys hair... Thanks so much. :)
Comeon, you really didn't think guys where looking down your shirt as the shampoo girl?
Her boobs are like 2 inches from my face, so I really can't look anywhere else...not that I really want to look elsewhere.
'I shaved my head to make her feel pretty after chemo, to make her laugh and not feel alone.'
you are a beautiful person.
i respect that you can be so honest on your blog!
wow. you are an intriguing guy. it's funny how many of those things we have in common such as #14 #27 #38 #47 - mine was from albertsons but my mom made me go back in and apologize! #62 #63 - still on it as you already know ha #72(#16 - have you heard the joshua radin cover of fly me to the moon? its fabulous) I totally agree with #21 and there are a lot more on that list I agree with. It sounds like you've had one hell of a life my friend. thanks for sharing :)
You are every girl's dream guy.
Clearly, there are a number of girls madly in like with you based on your revealing list.
I really enjoyed reading it, although now I'm trying to figure out where exactly you live since you're not in New York, but it sounds like you're near.
Also, speaking on behalf of the redheads - we are pretty awesome. Not necessarily to date - just to be friends with!
Wow.
So honest!
God still listens and is there for you, don't worry!
And I love a guy who can dance :D
I'm loving your blog and I've only read 2 posts so far.
Check mine out at www.lifeaftercollege3.blogspot.com.
I find it really refreshing to read your blogs, It's nice to read something that is as revealing as this.
To think I used to believe I wasnt complicated. haha.
Thanks!
