RE: 16 Random Things About Me
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you it's because I want to know more about you.....
1- Every time I take a shower I pee. And then I wonder if it's okay. And I manage to convince myself that everyone else in the world also pee's in the shower.
2- Most of the time I am a road raged manic driver. Even though I am a very safe and defensive driver. I find my self screaming out loud at other driver's. And I even consider how lucky other driver's are that I am not packing semi automatic weapons in my glove box.
3- I want to sail around Cape Horn in a small sailboat. No larger then 25 feet.
4- Not a day goes by that I don't think about the future of the world. And all the while I keep a proactive attitude about it. But beneath the surface I speculate the worse. And scare the shit out of myself.
5- I am a registered Republican.
6- I never realized it until I saw Factotum (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417658/ ). But I am secretly infatuated with Matt Dillon. He has huge fingers.
7- I have a great idea that would allow every household to recycle their own glass. But I am keeping that to myself right now. I am pretty sure I can sell the idea to the plastic industry to keep it a secret or the glass industry to bring back glass in full force and cut away plastic manufacturing.
8- My favorite color is gray.
9- I don't really care for small children but I am getting better with my old age.
10- No I don't want to do it all over again. It was to stressful.
11- Despite what most people who know me think. I actually have the patience of a saint. Otherwise I would be in prison.
12- After all these years I do believe it is finally time to admit that I need assistance with not only my 20/20 vision, but my hearing as well.
13- I still question authority.
14- I cant listen to my Ipod without listening to the Unforgettable Fire in full. I wish my t-shirt still fit me.
15- I wonder if someday all the drinks and gifts I receive on Facebook will be for real some day. And I can just download them to my counter like the Jetson's.
16- It cringes my soul when people so carefree use the word that is not a word at all. Aint

I wish i could write like you but i probably couldnt come up with 16 things to say and make it sound good.
The word that kills me is irregardless. ALWAYS used by some halfwit to impress his/her audience, and believe me, it MAKES a lasting impression. LOL
Mmmmm - indeed 16 things - will have to work on that. Very eleoqent Joel, but hope your peeing in the shower is restricted to your shower only. Road rage - there is a hit man in each of us - some would never confess to it though. Try being a South African driver and negotiating the minibus taxi drivers - hell hath no fury like a driver scorned by a mini-bus taxi driver. Aint .....not frequently used here but man ... in scrabble chat its so damn annoying.
It's a hard task. BUt not a suprise from the person who sent it to me.
hhhhhmmmmmm very interesting!!!!!
I could come up with @ 4 and not as good as yours...
LOL I know it's hard. Really makes you think. I did it after a shower ( obviously) and it took about a half hour of complete focus.
You know this really was a unique challenge...if you can muster a bit of time to truly think about it...But I understand it was hard for some folks to find the notes section of facebook so I got 1 in an email...2 completed so far. Both highly worth reading...Paddy i will figure out how to link yours here too...it was great. here is Jasons

I don't know how or where to post the darned game, so here it is:
Joel, I'm not sure how you tag anyone, but I'm sure I haven't been. I'd like to play your game though, if you would indulge me.
1 - I was born a bastard, but I've worked to play against type. Most people don't call me one. :)
2 - I'm a health hypocrite. I wash my hands in the washroom not because I believe the effort will make me or others healthier, but because I'm supposed to do it. Oh, the shame!
3 - I voted for Ross Perot, and then Nader. Maybe I DO belong in Alaska.
4 - Although I've never been drunk, nor smoked a joint, recently I've wanted to get drunk

just to know what the sensation is, and ditto for a high. I'm not prone to wanting to get a buzz, and don't believe that tendency should be encouraged in people, but I don't believe the anti-drug laws are useful either.
5 - I'm a terrible sexist when behind the wheel of a car. I'm just sure the stupid thing I just saw happen in traffic was done by a woman, and it almost always is. Truth be known, men make just as many mistakes are made by men, but I'm not annoyed by them. The secret is to be selective in your biases if you're going to preserve sexism. ;)
6 - At church, I sing the old lyrics rather than the politically corrected ones in the hymns. The Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, and Episcopalians are all driving me nuts going around and mangling beautiful old poetry. If they are so capable at writing enduring poems that become hymn texts, then have at it, but leave the venerable old ones alone. It is unfair to judge the past by the present. That's more of my English teacher

talking than anything theological.
7 - I'd rather tour a museum than watch any sort of sporting event, except anything with horses. I'm an idiot for steeple chase.
8 - I dearly love pets, but believe the nation has a growing problem giving too much love to them. In my experience, as individuals age, too many of us tend to give up maintaining close friendship and become more doting on animals, which is easier than accommodating a human who may require us to not be so obdurate.
9 - I love grits, but not in a restaurant. They have to have bacon, cheese, and probably bacon drippings added.
10 - I keep thinking I might try Vegetarian or even Vegan, but all of them look kinda stringy to me. They don't look like they'd fill up a decent taco, so I stick with chicken or pork.
11 - I have owned station wagons three times in my life, and I like them. Once, I had a GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab pickup truck. Suddenly, a lot of my friends started talking to me differently, with more respect. I

won't.
12 - Argumentative from an early age, I have finally foregone the need to argue with everyone about different controversies. If there is an honest dialogue going on, then sure, I love to jump in, but have no desire to foist opinions upon the intransigent. I've also come to the conclusion that it is healthy to argue with God. To not do so is dishonest.

13 - If given the chance, I'd love to either go to culinary school, or to go into one of the sciences. I've enjoyed the humanities, and still feel like a teacher on the inside, but I'd rather work in a more definite medium.
14 - My great great great grandfather founded Leeds University, and it is a considerable school today. When I learned this, I was dumbfounded, and honored.
15 - If I could find Mr. Right, I'd make a trip to a state that allows gay marriage, and I'd tie the knot. I'm made for monogamy, but have come pretty late to the dating game.
16 - Even though I love working with my brain, I'm pretty certain I could live a happy life as a waiter, or even a personal valet.

I dont know you Jason, but this is pretty darn good narrative. Well done on not having smoked weed - dont succumb. The world has enough dope heads. Put that good lineage to good use -ts something to be proud of. Come to South Africa - Gay marraiges are permitted here !
Nice learning about you.
PS Dont get drunk either - its totally over-rated and the hangover is not worth the experience. Stick to your virtues - you seem like a great young (?) man.
