Well, now as many as five different facebook friends have prompted me to join the throngs of internet socialites sharing 25 random things about themselves. I, as an aspiring socialite myself, have therefore decided that it is time to respond in kind. As I also am overdue for a blog post (and am, admittedly, uninspired tonight), I will make the most of this activity and post my list here as well. Here goes:
25. I feel like I am really, REALLY overthinking this list.
24. Ever since The Sopranos went off the air, I haven’t watched anything on television except travel shows and science documentaries.
23. I have an Italian greyhound, Miles, whose normal body temperature is 102 degrees. It has been five years since I was cold at night.
22. My wife and I bought eighty 1 1/2 foot stone tiles to build a patio in our backyard. That was over a year ago. They are still neatly stacked by the fence.
21. Three of my favorite pastimes are playing guitar, flying airplanes and writing poetry. I can’t remember the last time I did any of those things, but it was probably prior to the buying of the patio tiles.
20. I dream of one day holding a job that means more to me than just a paycheck.
19. I am currently reading Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
18. I am slowly beating my Volvo to death. Last weekend I ran over one of my fog lamps. Don’t ask.
17. For purely non-perverted reasons, I think I would really enjoy a week or two at a nudist colony.
16. I have begun to think of the occasional gunshots we hear in our neighborhood as “charming.”
15. I have chosen to save the word ecstasiate from lexicographical extinction.
14. My wife ecstasiates me richly and completely. In a pinch, however, I have been known to resort to ecstasiating myself.
13. I love Joe Biden.
12. I got a new all-in-one printer for Christmas. I connected it to the computer on Christmas morning. It still has not printed anything. If anyone knows what error number 3812 on a Kodak ESP-9 means, please enlighten me.
11. I wish I’d paid closer attention in my high-school physics class.
10. Only nine more to go!
9. Okay, I feel bad for phoning that last one in.
8. When we eat at home, I do all of the cooking.
7. I once got lost in an English sheep field. At dusk. It was exhilarating.
6. American Beauty is my favorite movie of all time.
5. My TiVo understands me better than any human being ever could.
4. I am wide awake.
3. I loathe capitalism… but I love all my precious toys.
2. The number of times the word “I” appears in this list nauseates me.
1. I still do not know who “I” am. And I do not think I will ever know. And right now, I do not care.
…
Good night, everybody.
22. right now it is stone sculpture-now go take pictures of it a publish them as art!
I have enjoyed viewing your photography-
