Just sitting here on a Wednesday, 2-25-15 night during a sleet/snow storm that we here in the south CANNOT handle and drinking a yummy Bailey's or whatever ALDI' s knock off brand is, while updating my list of THINGS ABOUT ME!!! It was 125. NOW it's 160 and some bonus ones that I have thought of since writing 2015 this in !!!!! (APPLAUSE)So without further ado:
1. Name- Robert Andrew McBride. I was only called Robert on the first day of school by a new teacher or when I was in trouble with my parents. I have been called AndY (NOT AndI), Drew, RA and Andrew.
2. Does NOT have cable TV.
3. I still laugh like I am in 8th grade when someone calls another person 'douche bag'. Another good one is when my older brother calls me R Gay. Basically, I LOOOOOOOOVE all 'sophomoric' humor!
4. I don't hate anyone, even you, Mary. Sure, there are people I choose not to associate with, but that's as far as I will go. Hate only eats you up inside.
5. Piggybacking on #4. You can tell BIG TIME if I don't want to associate with you.
6. I'm what you call a 'penny pincher'. I live by the motto, "if you can't afford it then you don't need it." Credit card companies are like the evil empire in Star Wars.
7. I think Dave and Sammy were both great for Van Halen. They brought a lot to the table. Gary Cherone was a full-fledged debacle.
8. Politically, I refused to be labeled! I am conservative on some things and liberal on others. I think ALL politicians' sole job is to piss down your back and tell ya it's rainin'. We vote for a virgin to do a whore's job! Sad but True! I'm all about 'free will'! Only you truly control your destiny. It's still “We the People' Right??????
9. I think people use verses from the Bible to TRY to justify their actions.
10. You can sit there and tell someone till you're blue in the face how you would deal with a certain situation but I think you have no idea what you are going to do if it happens.
11. Stress to me is being an 18-year-old kid about to storm the beaches of Normandy, knowin' damn well that the chance of living is slim to none.
12. I LIKE the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, BUT at the end of the day, I know I have freakin' bills to pay at the beginning of the next month, so I don't live and die with every win or loss. PRIORITIES!!!!
13. I love watching documentaries.
14. The instrumental at the end of 'Layla' is the ultimate to make out to.
15. The only reason I loved school (Charlotte Catholic High School 92) was seeing all my friends..... I was a terrible student. I think my final GPA was like 2.3 or something like that, but I put on my 'big boy' britches and went to community college for 2 years, then to Appalachian State University, and I have a 4-year degree and I have the diploma to prove it!!!
16. I have never been married, and so I DON'T have a crazy ex that's still pi$$ed I got the couch from the family room in the divorce.
17. I cried uncontrollably and had to be helped out of the hospital room the last time I saw my grandpa alive...... Does it make me less of a man??? I don't think so...
18. I have over 1900+ songs on my iPod, ranging from every decade from the 50s on up and every style. My musical tastes were shaped by the music my older brother and his friends listened to. Also, songs that remind me of certain chapters in my life. UPDATE: As of April 19, 2020, I have over 2,242 songs! I and II.
19. If I'm not talking, it's because I'm really sick, and if I open my mouth, I'll yack.
20. I (USED TO) drink beer and wine, and that's it.. I would welcome a random drug test because I know I would pass with flying colors. Other people at work????? Well!?!??!?! Let's just say I would stay really busy having to do all the work that others did before they were canned. UPDATE: I wrote this before 8/05/15 when the Dr. advised that I stop drinking. FYI- I have NOT had a drink since.
21. All your priorities in life change when you hold your child for the first time. It's no longer about you; that little guy/gal totally relies on you.
22. A footnote to 21, I HAVE NO CHILDREN NOR AM I ANY BABY'S DADDY!
23. Is a picky eater.
24. Knows that some countries CANNOT handle freedom.
25. If you ever get a handwritten letter in the mail from me, it's a pretty good sign that I really, really, really like you...

27. I don't wear underwear... Too restrictive!!!! I gotta let'em breathe, ya know! WHAT???? Too much info???
28. Usually comes up with some great ideas while driving or when someone is yapping about some crap in a meeting.
29. I try to go to mass every weekend. Let me stop you before you tell me that you grew up Catholic but don't go anymore because you disagree with the church. I know you can make a case about the Catholic Church having all kinds of problems, but let me ask you, doesn't every religion have issues????? This is how I see it: there has to be someone, a guy or a woman, up there looking over me because they have gotten me out of a lot of jams in my life... Plus it's kind of a family tradition..... When Peter Cawley got off the boat from Ireland in the 1800's he was Catholic...####### If you are in an EFFed up cult, then you, my friend, have OTHER 'issues'!########
