Eight Things that MisterCrunchy Forced Me to Write
July 17, 2007 · Filed Under Blog
Well, I guess he didn’t really force me to do anything, and it surely was a good excuse to type something today. The only thing that really bums me out is that the rules state that I have to tag eight people and the luck of the draw states that MisterCrunchy already tagged my WIFE and my BASS PLAYER! How is it that I don’t get to tag these people? I guess I should start the tagging exercise next time. In the meantime, I will tag my wife’s friends.
“Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.”
- I swore off most political conversations about a year ago because I got tired of everyone sounding like a bunch of bumper stickers. I have been relatively successful so far, and I am going to do my best to carry it into the political season. I think we might need a return to a time when people kept political inclinations close to the vest. I think we have proven an inability for civility, myself included, when we get too involved in politics.
- After a time period when I considered quitting, I am more excited about music than I have been in quite a while. My band is back writing and playing a lot, and we will have a new recording soon. I have three new songs specifically that I think people will be very surprised by them.
- I run on a relatively consistent basis, but I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination. I keep thinking one day, I will look and feel like a runner, but I have this feeling that I will continue to look like a slightly over-weight guy who never quite gets into real shape. I like food, beer, and my coffee with creamer too much to commit to being completely svelte.
- I have always found it difficult to specialize in any one thing in terms of a career. My interests range a lot, and I end up doing a lot of different things, none of them spectacularly. That makes it difficult to rise through the ranks of an organization, but it should set me up to be a pretty well-rounded manager. After joining my family’s business, I am putting that notion to the test and it has been good so far.
- I don’t really like traveling all that much. Airports and hotels and things stress me out and with very few exceptions, I get bored with sight-seeing. I prefer the kind of travel where you get to your destination and make it a temporary home like a condo on the beach where you have a kitchen and stuff like that. Maybe that makes me boring, but I don’t really care anymore.
- I think yard work is pointless, unless it isn’t. I think that manicuring a bunch of plants in obsessive fashion around our houses is something really silly from a cultural evolution standpoint. Then again, if anyone out there finds gardening therapeutic, then I am all for it. I just haven’t figured out that balance where some people can have their therapy without forcing me to pretend I give a shit about hostas, day lilies and the like.
- I find it funny that the sports blogging world is falling into the same patterns as the political blogging world. ESPN are Republicans and everyone hates on them right now.
- The first thing I ever played musically were the drums. I have always had a dream that I would go see my favorite band and the drummer would hurt their arm and they would look to the audience for a replacement. In that dream, I would go up there for just a single night and rock the effing house and kick some ass. I never go on to tour with the band, but I do hang with them for a single night.
And the people that I am tagging are as follows. Dittoheston, Deezo, Brian, (for comedy’s sake) Justin, Life Liberty Pursuit, The Mike, My Cousin Who Hasn’t Blogged Since June 12, 2006, Bill From Nothing But Love.Net

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
