16 Candles

by Kenneth McDade on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at 12:47pm
The main point of this is to list 16 things most people dont know about you and then list 16 of your friends and something about them. Thought I would jot a few. Takes a little bit of self indulgence and introspect but kinda neat. Took the liberty of joining two that were so close together, I thought they should be one.

1) I used to try to fly with a Superman cape.
2) I get emotionally moved by old movies.
3) I am allergic to Chocolate.
4) My college years were awful and I hated them.
5) I used to repel from mountains in Tennessee.
6) I worked four summers at a Girl Scout camp, and became an honorary girl scout and earned merit badges.
7) I love doing what others say is impossible.
8) I have many friends who dislike theatre and don’t understand it. They help keep me grounded.
9) My first paying job was making explosives at a firecracker company.
10) I have never found my niche, but still enjoy the journey looking for it.
11) I was going to be an electrical engineer until I got to college and discovered how much math was involved.
12) I conquered Math as an adult, yet still have anxiety about it.
13) I got beat up or pushed down almost every day of junior high…I survived Monster ball, beatings and two knife fights where I didn’t have the knife.
14) I still have nightmares about junior high.
15) God loves me so much, that He personally sent for me, His Son, to die.
16) I love life and the adventure of everyday…I don’t know how to be bored.

Clayton Southerland – A great actor with only himself as his limits.

Brandi Southerland – A joy. My superheroinne friend with amazing superpowers.

Lavonne Bruckner – An inspiration, never heard the word impossible. I think of the letters WWLD when I am asked to do an impossible task. Great Spiritual and Career leader, my hero.

Angeley Butler – Well read, well bred, unlimited imagination, a Nuevo renaissance lady.

Kevin Ross – brother in spirit, art and life. No limits. Makes me stretch my imagination further than the extreme.

Juniper Wallace - There is so much talent that she shows like an iceberg, you wonder if you have just seen the tip of it. There is an undercurrent of untapped talent waiting to emerge…we’re waiting.

Wyeth Sibler- like a moth to a flame, so much energy and passion for theatre, give it time. The light is always there. Learn to fly more circles around it.

Lori McDade – My sister, God’s favorite. We have shared the best jokes and stories. Bless her, she gets way to much of my humor. I am honored to be her friend and brother.

Taylor Noelle – A true joy in my life. I so love the way she sees things as an adult and still keeps that kid inside.

Lucy Chappell – My other sister and God’s other favorite. I always wanted to be like her. Still do. Never a dull conversation.

Mitch Chappell – A champion, I am proud of his ambition and strength. His love of God and his commitment to work and getting things done.

Brent Chappell – Never have I seen you follow anyone’s footsteps, you make new paths for others to follow, but you make sure God is leading you.

Pattye Archer – My new friend and so underrated for the amount of things she does for so many people and organizations.

Beth Kander & Danny Dauphin – Two sides of a royal card. I met them about the same time and enjoy their wit and humor. Plus they do make an adorable couple. You two give off hope when you are not even trying.

Lea Freeny Browne – a true inspiration in the Spirit of God. She helped save my life by stepping out of her normalcy and stretching both of us to our limits. Good thing we don’t have any.

Margaret Sullivan – A free spirit artist untamed by expectations. She was a student, then a friend. I wish I could see the world through your eyes one day. Your poems and stories help me see my own soul.
