The Internet is Down/Six Things About Me

From home at least. We are closed at work so I am heading home to deal with the ice and approaching snow. Hopefully my Internet connection will be working again soon so I can make a real post.

In case it is not let me just wish everyone a great weekend.

==================================================================

I have been tagged. I did something similar to this before I realized I was tagged. Here goes.

Each player of this game starts with the “6 weird things about you”. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog. Well I am afraid I may participate in tags but I just do not tag people. Feel free to tag yourself if you like. Here is my 6 things.



I am a techi fan big time. Lets say we go to a play (which I love to do by the way). You may notice the actors or the lines, or who knows what about the play. Me, I am paying attention to the lighting, how crisp the changes are, do the spots follow properly? How is the sound. On and on, I live for that stuff. I have only helped out with sound and light a handful of times but I do have a big mixer board, a snake, microphones, microphone stands, recorders ... I used to tape open microphone nights for a friend.

I have always been overweight for all my life except for a couple of times. I am such a yo-yo dieter.

I am not a huge sports person but I do have my favorites. To watch, I love the NHL and Saturday College Football. To participate, I love volleyball, racquetball, wallyball, and more recently cornhole. Oh I so forgot curling.

I have come a long ways and have a pretty good job but I have never received a college degree.

I started wearing glasses for being near sighted at a very early age. I was very hard on my glasses, when I could find them that is. I finally got good about always putting them in the same place and I also got a pair of metal rim glasses that really stood up to my punishment. About 5, 6 years ago I had LASIK done on my eyes. It has so been worth it. I have 20/20 in one eye and 30/20 in the other I believe. It is funny however, I developed habits from wearing glasses and contacts. When it is raining I look down so as not to get it on the lense. When I get my hair cut I close my eyes to keep from getting a stray hair under my contacts. I probably will always do that.

I have always loved music. In 8th grade I joined the band and the conductor talked my parents into having me play french horn. I never was any good as I played third and fourth chair parts all but for 2 days at band camp when I was first chair. That got corrected fast Once out of band I got a keyboard and play around with it even if it is only 1 or 2 fingers at a time. I also have a flute I dig out every now and then and play around with. I really need to get into playing with midi.


If I could offer one piece of advice to the planet, it would be this: Don't marry for looks alone, and I'll tell you why. In a few years, when Barbara's boobs start sagging, she can get plastic surgery, have them lifted, move the nipple wherever. You can actually go to a titty bar, pick out a set of titties and say, "I want those titties on that woman." If her belly gets too big, she can get a tummy tuck and have a belly like a cheerleader. If her vision goes bad, you can have LASIK surgery and have 20/20 vision. If her hearing goes bad, they can install a device in her ear that will give you hearing as clear as it was the day you were born. But let me tell you something, folks: You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever. --Ron White: You Can't Fix Stupid
