Oh man, you crack me up. This should be fun.
Neither of my parents came from broken homes nor were they immigrants. They were both born in SoCal. I have multiple relative couples that have all been married for 50-60 + years.
No, I didn’t come from a broken home. My parents had a great relationship, were very active in our local church and were very much in love. However my mother actually died in a very horrific car accident caused by a POS who swerved over into her lane and hit her head on at 65+ mph and crushed her. She died in the life-flight helicopter On the way to the hospital. I never saw violence.
My parents to the best of my knowledge never played any sports. I was the only child - the youngest of 3 - that ever really played in sports. I was good, especially at baseball, and pretty good at basketball, going on to play in JC. I actually excelled at academics. I was an honor roll, honor society, high-GPA student that got mostly straight A’s, photographic memory so I never had to study too hard.
- I’ve never hit a woman in my life, not even one that walked up and right-hooked me in the face (my female friend had broken her nose in a 1 - my friend - on 5 fight) as she was pissed, I stood there and let her do it, only got pissed because she got blood all over me. Still didn’t hit her. I’ve never abused an animal in my life. Grew up in the country in WA on 9 acres, had everything from dogs and cats to horses, geese and a goat and myself a ferret and iguana.
- unless you consider Zara, CK, Kenneth Cole, Adidas, Nike, American Eagle, UA, etc designer clothes, nope. I never ever wear a watch.
- I have a BMW, yes. But it’s not new and as a previous finance manager for Ford & Hyundai, I’m not all about name-brand cars, because I know you pay for the name. Bought mine used and own it because I like how it drives. I do not drive stock vehicles, however.
- I have done illegal drugs in my younger days when I partied a lot and was heavily involved with production and promotion of events (was part of Insomniac Events back in the late 90s - early 00s). Now I only take prescription medication because my body has betrayed me.
- my sister is one of my best friends and someone I’m extremely close to. My parents live about 1500 miles away, so I don’t see them often but talk to them weekly.
- I have an 18-year-old daughter, so Xmas and Thanksgiving have always been very important. They’re typically spent with a large part of our extended family.
Would you like me to contradict you anymore, Dr. Phil?
