Tag I’m it

by Blogger Dad on September 11, 2008

Dave Fowler tagged me after I jokingly suggested he should, so I could avoid another lengthy, time consuming post. Well, he did, and here are the results.

  1. Where Were You Ten Years Ago?
    Living in South Florida, wasting my days at a dead end job, unsure of what I wanted to do with my life.
  2. What’s on Your To Do List Today?
    Continue looking for a job, write, draw my comic, play with my son, feed the annoying cats, make dinner, spend time with my family, followed by five hours of crawling into the fetal position and worrying about my future as I attempt to go to sleep. No, really, I have that penned in as #7 on my ‘To Do’ list.
  3. What If You Were A Billionaire?
    • I would purchase the unpublished parenting book by Lynne Spears which was put on hold indefinitely. Yes, it would cost a lot, but it could be the Funniest Book Ever Written.
    • Next, I would stop looking for a job and ensure that my wife never has to work again. She’s a very devoted teacher and deserves a long vacation. However, I’m not sure she would ever want to leave her job.
    • I’d hire a house cleaner, or a team of house cleaners, because this cleaning thing is not my cup of tea. And for some reason, my son has a need to dis-organize everything we take time to organize.
    • I’d move somewhere a bit more scenic than Florida. In other words, almost anywhere else in the world. I need seasons other than hot, REALLY HOT and Hurricane.
    • I’d travel to do some research for a book I am working on.
    • I’d do something charitable, though I‘d have to have direct control over how the money was spent. Too many ‘charitable’ organizations spend too much of their budget on “administrative costs” (in other words, collecting money to pay themselves a check).
  4. Five Places You Have Lived?
    Only places in Florida, so far.
  5. Three Bad Habits?
    Eating junk food, drinking approximately 5,000 Diet Colas per day, fidgeting (maybe because of the 5,000 cans of soda?)
  6. Snacks You Like?
    Chocolate chip cookies (with just a few chocolate chips), cookies n’ cream ice cream, yummy bread pudding from a few select restaurants.
  7. Who Will You Tag?
    Writer Dad (of course), New Age Bitch because I love her style (though I’m not sure if she’ll play) and Rita, a new favorite of mine.

I shared my #5 and #6 with my personal trainer a few days ago. He told me that drinking pop is probably the worse possibly thing I could do ever (or TWP-TIC-DE, pronounced twip-tic-dee) and then went on about the rest of my horrible eating habits.

Where would you move to if you did happen to move?

(Canada is a nice place…the seasons are as follows: cold, really cold, mildly cold, and road work).

NAB – I fear putting the plot online because I know that someone will steal it, write it, turn it into a movie and a tv series before I even hit the PUBLISH button. The short and sweet: it is a horror novel about a man who loses his family in a car crash.

Matthew – Did he say anything in particular about soda? And Canada is the place I would first consider. From my limited knowledge of it (from friends and the media) is that its kinda’ like America, minus the insane levels of violence, scumbags and thieving violent scumbags.

The sugar, fake sugar, basically every element in it that isn’t water is (probably?) bad for you.

He also told me that I should be drinking about 7 cups of water a day so that my…uh, yeah…is completely colorless. Apparently that is the sign of healthy eating and drinking.

We also have free health care in Canada, for everyone. ;)

I can’t believe I forgot Ice Cream!

You said, “…..kinda’ like America, minus the insane levels of violence, scumbags and thieving violent scumbags.”

I responded, “Hahahahahahahahaha.”

Nice answers Blogger Dad. Thank you for being a good sport – and to think I was ready to kill it dead?!

This is the first tag I’ve ever agreed to, but, Blogger Dad, you’ve got it.

I am a fidgeter too. My hubby hates it and the worst part is that our kids are taking after me. He just loathes that.

Good to get to ‘know ‘ you a bit better Blogger Dad. And I’m with you on the Lynne Spears book. I hope they read excerpts out on the Comedy Channel!

Matthew – yes, the free health care is attractive. As is the non-violent thieving scumbagginess of the country.

Dave – How can you forget ice cream? And thanks for tagging me (even if I asked for it)

Writer Dad – Cool. I look forward to the response.

Jen – Yes, fidgeting is hereditary. Then again, so is loathing.

Mom/Mum – Well, if I purchase the book, you can COUNT on it.

Blogger Dad,
After having spent around 3 months commenting that “I can not be tagged,” you come along with your, um…guts, and tag me. Yeesh. Thanks.
OK, I guess I’m flattered (or thinking of flattening you – lol) but I won’t be a spoilsport. Give me a week or so and I accept the tag.
I loved your answers – but I have to tell you, it’s that blue cupcake face that did it for me. :-)

Yes. Yes. And Yes.

Rita
