Random unrelated image: A New Meaning For “Bread Tie”

I know it’s a meme, but an interesting one nonetheless. When I saw this meme at Karl’s and Avitable’s I immediately knew that I had to do it or I wouldn’t be able to hang out with the cool kids.

The ABCs of Me

Accent: I was born and raised in West Virginia so I naturally speak “hick”.

Breakfast or no breakfast: Brown Sugar & Cinnamon pop tarts just about every morning around 5:30.

Chore I don’t care for: None. I don’t mind doing chores.

Dog or Cat: Love the pussies!

Essential Electronics: Computer, phone, Wii, Guitar Hero

Favorite Cologne: Black Suede

Gold or Silver: Silver. I don’t like the look of gold, however, I like the value of it very much.

Handbag I carry most often: A paper sack with my lunch in it.

Insomnia: I used to spend many sleepless nights staring blankly at the PC or XBOX. I am happy to say that I have been sleeping nice lately. Nice being a relative term when you consider that I live with young children.

Job Title: Just another turd in the bucket. (Also a Devoted Husband, Father.) (Find a job with admin job search)

Kids: At the time of this writing, I have a 22 month old daughter. By the time this post gets published, I should have a few days old son. (The wife is bloated, irritable, and 30 lbs. heavier than she was 9 months ago. Please God, let her have that baby soon.)

Living Arrangements: West Virginia trailer trash, baby!

Most Admirable Trait: The most admirable trait for anyone is their sense of humor.

Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Broke into the neighbors house and tipped over their furniture and hid all their curtains in a closet. Fun times.

Overnight hospital stays: Currently none for myself, but I did sleep at the hospital when my wife had her gallbladder removed, and again when our first child was born.

Phobias: A little bit of claustrophobia, especially if the room I’m in has several other people in it.

Quote: “If you have ever stopped by my house, you came on purpose, because I live on the way to nowhere.” -Bucky

Reason to smile: Loving wife and kid(s).

Siblings: None.

Time I wake up: 4:15am Mon-Fri. Weekends are wide open.

Unusual Talent or Skill: I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Radishes. Blech.

Worst Habit: Fingernail biting.

X-rays: I’ve had three x-rays. Once for my neck, once for my chest, and once for my stomach / intestines.

Yummy Stuff: M&M’s, chocolate ice cream, plain Wavy Lays potato chips.

Zoo Animal I Like Most: I like monkeys, and one of the reasons I like monkeys is because they are very open with their masturbation. I have learned a couple of new techniques by watching monkeys. Monkey, monkey, monkey!

Tish tagged me for the Blue Tea Meme. The rules are as follows:

“Devise a list of 5-10 courses you would take to fix your life. It’s more fun to be in classes with friends, so include one class from the person who tagged you that you’d also like to take. Tag five.”

Here’s my course schedule:

CSS – I would have to take this course with Tish. I am fairly lost when it comes to CSS. I use to hand code my webpages with good ol’ “notepad.exe” and my HTML knowledge. Then you kids came up with Cascading Style Sheets and started confusing me. *shakes fist*

Photography – I feel that I am decent at taking pictures, but not a photographer by any means. I love photography more and more everyday. I wish I would have gotten into it sooner.

Comebacks – Because, and I’ll be honest here, I suck at them. I freeze up and my mind goes blank. Either that or I am so angry or hurt that I can’t think clearly. Later, while in the shower, I usually think of the most clever comeback ever. Typical.

Mechanics – If there is one thing that I absolutely hate to do, it is work on my vehicle. I can change the oil, sure, no problem. Ask me to put new brakes on it, or put in a fuel pump and I will instantly tell you no. It’s not that I don’t know how (cars are quite simple machines), but everytime I put a wrench on a bolt, the head breaks off and I am stuck for hours trying to drill the broken bolt out. Then I have to find a new bolt, and tap the hole I drilled. Quite literally a PITA. I would rather pay someone $100 to do it for me.

Time Travel – I have always wanted to get a Delorean and build a time machine out of it. Much like Christopher Lloyd did in “Back To The Future”. I wonder if I could get some travel insurance for that?

I tag: Mike, Elena, Jos, Christy, and Aaron

Apparently Christy had already tagged me earlier in the week for this same meme! Sorry Christy, but I never noticed the incoming link. *blush*

I haven’t done a meme in a while. I just haven’t felt the urge. But when my good buddy Canucklehead tagged me for one, I felt like I should do it. After all, I have tagged him a time or two and he has completed the meme.

The rules:

• Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
• At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’ve been tagged, and to read your blog.

Here we go:

1. I work for an architectural / woodworking firm. Imagine that, a country boy that knows math!
2. When I was little I had a dog named “PeeWee.”
3. I drive a 1992 model Toyota Celica that gets 36+ miles to the gallon.
4. Just like Canucklehead, I am also expecting a new edition to the family in July. (Second child)
5. I have a Nintendo Wii, and have almost completed Guitar Hero on “HARD” mode.
6. I have magazine / blog devoted entirely to the Nintendo Wii and its accessories.
7. I graduated High School near the top of my class. I think I was ranked 5th out of all the seniors.
8. Old timey furniture stores give me the creeps.

There you have it. Eight random things about me. I’m tagging no-one, but if you would like to do this meme, then by all means, pretend that I tagged you!
