The last time that I wrote a bio about anyone was probably the biography of King Henry VIII when I was a sophomore in high school . . . in Spanish. It was hard to decide which were the most fascinating aspects of his life, and which were just him divorcing and cutting off the heads of his wives. But instead of writing about what I know about my good pal Henry Tudor, I now have to write a biography about myself. I know. The horror. Well, I can't say for certain that I've had the pleasure of marrying six wives, nor living up to Henry's success of initiating the English Reformation, and will even go as far as admitting that I did not obtain Jonathan Rhys Meyers' good looks as portrayed in the Showtime Tudors series (lucky bastard), so now the question is, who am I and why should anyone care? But just like with my Spanish report about the life of Henry VIII, I now have to pick which facts about my life will be deemed as important and which are just plain rubbish. I guess to state the obvious, I'm a big fan of the Tudors and other aspects of royal history (i.e., The Plantagenets, The Bourbons, The Stuarts, The Hanovers, and The Saxe-Coburg-Gothas), as well as reading, writing and the occasional swimming and lifeguarding. That's all general and good, but you're probably reading this to find some sort of interesting facts about me. So instead of just telling you about some random facts about myself, I'm just going to list ten things that stick out that might be of some interest:
