This time it's time to play ...."List 10 things that your friends may or may not know about you, but that are true."

 

Before I start here are my 10 unsuspecting newly tagged friends:

Bettie, Lamont, Bumbles, Skip, Dani, Penny, Rita, Josh, Merwing, Photo David, Mr. Pow, Mr. Decepti, One Crazy Weasel, and .....oops went over my limit...but you've been called out!

Mwha ha ha!

 

Ok here goes some random truths:

 

1. I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. So much so that when other people (family, co-workers) see me digging my juvenile chow choice...they want want their own!! I like it on flat bread, tortillas, crackers, waffles, pancakes, and even french toast.

 

2. I suck at video games. Once the controllers got beyond the ninetendo gamepad deal w/ the 2 buttons...I got worse as the game systems got more complex. I have to admit some of the games looked sooo cool....but upon playing just drove me batty w/ how hard they were to control. Hello playstation! Now here comes Wii. I'm digging playing games again! Must be the two buttons. Ha!

 

3. My 8 year old just taught me to play chess. Guess what? It's not stuffy or hard! Totally enjoyable. I would encourage you to pick it up sometime soon and make a go of it! How many games can you pretty much worldwide just sit down in a park and just play w/o knowing any language? Pretty cool if you ask me!

 

4. I hate that in childrens films or literature 99 percent of the time some tragic accident has to happen to get the story across. Or the main characters are orphans. Can't kids that are happy have excellent adventures as well? Also 4 out of 5 times if there is a boy in the story his name is Peter.

 

5. I'm over movies for the most part. Tv shows actually have....wait for it...... character developement. That rocks! I like getting sucked into all the well acted weeklies w/ movie stars that now slum in cable shows! (Damages, Saving Grace, The Shield)

 

6. I quit smoking 17 years ago. Yet, often in dreams, I puff away like a mad man! I don't urge or even have any desire to smoke during my waking hours. How weird is that? Do our addictions get really crammed in the old subconscious or what?

 

7. I am allergic to sea food yet completely and totally fascinated by sea life. I did eat fish sticks and some other sea food as a kid. It's the shell fish that almost did me in. Since then I just stay away from anything that swims.

 

8. I seem to be at a point where I'm either reading comic books or classics. Nothing inbetween. Pretty much all Batman and Verne. Nothing modern or fun and popular. Wacky.

 

9. I try constantly...and I need to be reminded often...that it is the journey that we should be enjoying...not the end result. Paitence. Gotta get some!

 

10. I just realized the other day that even though I have 20 years in where I work in order to reach social security (age 65) I still have 28 years to go. Zoinks! I thought I was more than half way through. The way things are going now everyone I know that has retired at 30 years is now working another full time job elsewhere w/ less pay and vacation. I guess I'll be sticking around.......

 

Extra bonus truth:

Hey, I like these things!

Tag me any time.

When else does one get to self analyze in these busy, busy times?
