Wal-mart got me to quit because i would work near 40 hours for a few weeks or so, then they'd drop my hours to 27 hours one week so I wouldn't get any benefits... They encouraged me to work there instead of going to school and to make them #1 in my life. Of course I'd complain to my dad and he'd just not listen and say that I should do what they said... Until he found out I dropped out of college... (Don't worry, i went back later and graduated with honors)

I got a major part of a huge front page photo in a major regional newspaper! And I was only eighteen months old!! Imagine how famous I am now.

Actually, the Beluga whale visiting the zoo might have been the main subject of the story. But it was seriously me, my mom, and the whale.

Also I got 5th place in the state spelling bee once. The top 4 got their names in the paper. I will never forget ... nor forgive.

 I got the sixth place in a yo-yo championship once, and the top 5 got prizes and i was forgotten =/

And a lot of photos with me in important events that i'm just there and manage to get in the way of the cameras.

My small biz, madskillz dot com, was featured in a Feb. 9th, 2006 New York Times article about iPods and such

I talked to Bill Clinton for like 2 minutes and took pictures of him holding my son

I met Bob Hope (RIP) and heckled Jerry Rice and meet Steve McNair twice (we went to the same college)

My picture was on the front page of my newspaper - it took up the vast majority of the page - when the newspaper announced it had closed - and the TV stations used the same front page all over the tube for a few days

I was featured in the PS2 game 'Test Drive Unlimited' as an NPC and president of Club D. I got the honor after beta testing the game for Atari - and I was able to write about my experiences in my newspaper

Dude, I would vote for you. Can I be on your ticket next time? 

Hell, I'm not running this time around. You can take my place!

I think your campaign would go well"

"Because I'm Madder than the Liberals and skillzier than the Conservatives"

Okay, most famous things I've done:

I took an acrobatics/jazz course and did a number on stage at an amusment park. Not a big one like 6 flags or Kennywood, but it was reasonable. The number was to Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down.

Of course, I'm also infamous for climbing to the second floor of my highschool via the outside wall. I had people who recognized me as "spiderman" for a good 3 years after I graduated. 

I developed the method for putting Baldur's Gate 2 SoA and ToB all on a single DVD which would allow you to do a full install and play the game with only 1 disc. You can find that here

I also had been acting as a "bartender" for a continuing D&D/Anime styled RP Thread that was called Ye Olde Pillow, named for another thread I had been supervising. Both of these were in that same forum and I kept archives of everything. It lasted a solid year before I finally let it close down, and it was posted in frequently enough that I generally hit 100 pages every 3 days to a week. It had a flavor to it similar to The Callahan Chronicals, by Spider Robinson, if anyone has ever read that.  It ended up moving to 4 different forums as management changed and that type of thing and most of the "patrons" followed it. The one thing that I felt was my biggest pride in that whole thing was that I managed to deal with every troll and conflict withoutever banning anyone.

I also am responsible for a Mime Kit, and Improvements to the Wizard Slayer and Beastmaster in a fanmod that I did for Baldur's Gate 2 which was apparently better received than I originally realized. It is kinda cool to have people playing a game that I actually contributed something to.

Other than that, just do a Google Search for "Grey Acumen" nearly every occurence of the name is either me or reffering to me. 

a caught the game-winning catch in my high school thanksgiving football game my senior year. it ended up being the only score of the game. HS football is kinda big, so it was a big deal. got a picture in the paper...the whole works. but damn, that was a cold thanksgiving day....

ROTFL!!!!!

I have a public speaking voice, have a winning personality, but can't lie to save my buns. I wouldn't mind taking Air Force One down to Cancun, Sydney and Diego Garcia to chill and kick it with the interns ... LOL. My wife would blast me.

I would love to hear your story on why you wanted to go into politics. If you have a biography or info on your run online, please PM me.
