Under 60
So, in lieu of writing an “about me” section of the blog, I decided to write a little “William in Under 60 Statements” type of post. By no means is this the full extent of “me, myself, and I,” but I dug deep for some good stuff to know. Its me. All me.
1. I drove a Jeep Grand Wagoneer before I got my license. It was my first love…short-lived.
2. I watch TLC’s “What Not to Wear” religiously.
3. I’ve never dated a redhead, but I’m not opposed to it.
4. I once bought an engagement ring, but never proposed.
5. I like to wrap one arm around a pillow when I sleep. It’s not only comfortable, but also comforting.
6. I’ve spent an entire Sunday laying around watching TV in just a towel because I was too lazy to get dressed after a shower.
7. I had a wreck in high school. I graduated early because I couldn’t try out for cheerleader because of the concussion.
8. I really want to be a dad.
9. I named one of my dogs Hitler. He never really lived up to the name.
10. In high school, people thought I was banging our hot new theatre teacher…I didn’t deny it.
11. My family is more important to me than I think they know.
12. I love basketball.
13. I took a sticker at the doctor’s office after a visit. I was 17.
14. I know I’m my grandmother’s favorite. It’s our little secret.
15. I’m a stickler on the there, their, and they’re rules.
16. I snuck in on a friend singing Mariah Carey in the shower at the top of her lungs.
17. I can say my alphabet backwards.
18. I always thought the term “love sick” was cliché, until I felt nauseas over a relationship.
19. I can’t resist a woman in high heels. Well…you know.
20. I used to throw love around. I still do.
21. A broken heart really does make your chest hurt.
22. Love really is blind sometimes and can’t be explained.
23. I’ll never say “I love you” unless I really mean it.
24. I battle depression. I deny it and let it go untreated because I’m afraid people will think I am being silly to feel so down.
25. There were times when I should have swallowed my pride and spoke up because inside I was begging for help.
26. I’m not really afraid or embarrassed to be naked.
27. Like many when I lost my virginity, it was confusing, fast and not memorable.
28. At times I can be quick to judge people, but even faster to accept them.
29. I wear boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, and go commando.
30. I actually like to cuddle
31. I often start things I never finish. Its something I’m working on.
32. I’m angry at those who blame their childhood for every problem they have thru adult life.
33. I spend a fortune at Starbucks. It’s an addiction.
34. I’m one of the few white boys that can actually dance.
35. I’m not easily offended. But if you push my buttons hard enough, you’ll set me off.
36. I made the Honor Roll thru high school.
37. I’ve lived in this state my whole life, but I want to move away to NY because I love it there.
38. I like being challenged, but I’m learning to be careful what you wish for.
39. I believe in chivalry.
40. I love romance. I feel it’s the best part of a relationship.
41. I have a sentimental keepsake box from past loves and childhood memories.
42. I love an adrenaline rush!
43. Although, I would trade an adrenaline rush in for that “rush feeling” of falling in love.
44. I’m lonelier more than I’d like to admit.
45. I’ve never been to Vegas.
46. Having regrets in life is bad, not being able to change is worse.
47. I’ve had sex in a car. Not the brightest idea.
48. Sometimes love is a battlefield. And sometimes its worth the fight.
49. I’ve had botox…I’m only 23.
50. I never get tired of the Legally Blonde movies.
51. My biggest fear in life is not living up to my full potential.
52. I am my biggest critic.
53. I self-sabotage many great things in my life. I’m slowly trying to un-sabotage them.
54. I flew to LA one weekend when I was 19 to audition for the national tour of Rent. I got typed-out and never got to actually audition.
55. I once wanted to get my masters degree. I gave up that dream my first year of college. I haven’t looked back.
56. I was on an emotional roller coaster with a relationship for too long. I’m glad the ride is now over.
57. I don’t trust people as much as I once did.
58. Much of this was hard to write because it brings up memories and feelings I don’t always like to admit are part of me.
that was a great blog Mr. W. I miss seeing you and Mathew still needs to shoot you… but looks like we’re going to have a lot more free time on our hands soooo get ready for photocalls!
PS. Mathew met with a new underwear line about shooting their first marketing campaign … interested in modeling for the campaign … don’t know the budget but I’m sure it’s low.
yeah – tell Mathew to email me.
miss u 2.

I like No. 11 best. Made me cry. It’s really strange, because almost each of those could easily be me. I love you Me.
Love you…mean it.
It was nice to read them all! I could feel your honesty. Thanks for sharing!
If you looked in an old annual, I think you would find my picture right next to your father’s, Barry Lanier, in 1975. He and I were good friends, but we didn’t keep up much in life. I wrote him when he was away in the war Desert Storm, and got a reply. Not only do I have that one, but I’ve saved every letter that was written to me by anyone. You are a wonderful young man–I can tell by reading your Under 60 statements. Don’t be hard on yourself. Sounds like you are realistic and honest. I know your mom too, though we didn’t know each other well growing up. She and I are having a blast on Facebook! I’m not sure that link on xanga is the correct one, but that is who I am–sawznhamrs on the xanga.com site. Peace!
you inspire me
