 10 FUN FACTS ABOUT JIMMY

1.) I was hit by a train while a passenger in a car and walked away with just bruises.

2.) I was the Key Designer on patented, low-income homes made out of retired shipping containers that the 'Afghanistan World Foundation' want to use for their 'Rebuilding Afghanistan' project (see final credits):http://www.afghanistanworldfoundation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=162:awf-announces-housing-project-initiative&catid=1:press&Itemid=98

3.) I've left my body.

4.) I haven't worked a 9 to 5 job since the mid 90's.

5.) I only need to workout twice a week to maintain my physique.

6.) I wept like a baby during the movie 'My Girl' back in 1991 when the little girl 'Vada' finally came downstairs and into Macaulay Culkin's wake (then again, so did everyone else in the entire movie theater ;)):

7.) The 1st book I ever read was 'Old Man and the Sea' in middle school. The 2nd book was 'Jurassic Park' (1993) and thought it would make the best movie! Two weeks later the previews for the movie came out.

8.) I only sleep about 5 hours. This has been my entire life, and because I sleep in a DEEP sleep, which allows me to get the proper rest needed compared to most who toss and turn all night, who wake up from common sounds, while I'll sleep sound in a tent outside during a category 5 hurricane 

9.) My father's birthday (January 8th) is the same as Elvis Presley's birthday and my mother's birthday (May 24th) is the same as his wife, Priscilla Presley's birthday.

10.) My birthday (March 15th) is the same as Fabio's birthday... but NOT the same year
