49 things – give or take


(Wow!  Our first shave?)

I don’t usually do these things that seem to float around the net, but I thought it might be a fun change. Here’s some random junk about me!  Btw, the pictures have little to do with any of this but seemed pretty fun nonetheless!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I was named after my Dad. His/my first name is a grandparent’s last name and our middle name is another grandparent’s last name.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
December 16, 1999

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
HA! I always had great grades in school but the only C I think I ever got was in handwriting in 6th grade. My handwriting sucks.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I pretty much always eat turkey or chicken breast. I like all the flavors especially…honey baked, maple, jalapeno magic, anything. My least favorite would likely be liverwurst. Liver is compostable but not edible!

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
I have two monkeys – Isaac and Abigail.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
What’s not to love? I mean, I am the most awesome person I know!

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Only when I am talking.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes…but I am missing my virginity and my dignity…if you’ve seen either, please contact me asap

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
I would bungee jump while wearing a gorilla suit singing My Sweet Valentine. I would not bungee jump naked however. I could be tempted to drive across town naked but I would not likely walk across town for pancakes.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
I really like Captain Crunch. I don’t often eat it though as I am all about my fiber muffins lately


(This was circa 1995…I shaved shortly after this and never went back)

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Velcro baby! Just kidding…I always untie my shoes.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
I don’t like ice cream. I think it is because I dipped a lot of ice cream while I worked in the general store in my home town as a kid. I dipped bait from tanks one minute and ice cream from the freezer the next…too closely associated in my head I think!

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Their smile and eyes…

15. RED OR PINK?
red though I rarely paint my fingernails any more

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I don’t know what that would be..maybe my dang blood pressure.  I also have two really ugly scars on my back.  They suck too.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My grandma


(this is my brother and me – shaved and at the rodeo!)

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST?
Yes – but I’m not counting on it.  The internet is fairly sizeable…

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
no shoes…I am barefoot! I still have my work pants on….they are khaki brown.  

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
My cat snoring…and my wife too

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Black..like the color of my heart…or green…like my teeth

23. FAVORITE SMELLS?
daffodils, wood smoke, lilac, bacon, spring rain, rodeo

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
My pal Greg – I call him buttercup…don’t tell his wife.  But seriously, I call him that. 

25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
I don’t have to…I am married to her

26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH:
Jello Wrestling

27. HAIR Color?
No idea…it used to be blondish brown when last I saw it…that was around 1996

28. EYE COLOR?
blue

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Nope, not yet. I prefer to squint!

30. FAVORITE FOOD?
Homemade pizza!  Mexican

31.SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Happy endings for sure.  

32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
The Twilight DVD last night.  I have a man-crush…

33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
White t-shirt

34.SUMMER OR WINTER?
Summer. I hate winter almost as much as I hate lima beans

35. HUGS OR KISSES?
hugs, but both really. Although, I am not a hugging greeter. I don’t like to hug people when a handshake will suffice. Actually, I don’t like to touch people so I would rather wave than even shake hands.

39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
I dare not say what’s on my work mousepad. I don’t have one at home

41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
The movie Twilight

42. FAVORITE SOUND(S)?
My kids’ laughter, rushing water, a really good burp

43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
Beatles

44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? ?
Probably Cancun Mexico although Los Angeles may be farther

45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I can anti-cross my eyes…instead of both eyes going in to my nose, I can send both eyes outward

46 WHERE WERE U BORN?
Manassas, VA in a taxi cab along the interstate…delivered by a blind truck-driver.

48. HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE/SIGNIFICANT OTHER?
My current wife and I met  the first day  of class in a college literature class during our freshman year.

49. WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT DRIVE YOU CRAZY?
Sounds like a high school year book question…”um, haters, people who cheat and that weasel Billy Smith”
Naw…I hate intolerance, hate, bad attitude and the little tiny salt packets they serve at Wendy’s

 

Ok, so play along.  I think it will  be fun to see how crazy some of you all are too!

  1. You are one funny & crazy man!!! 🙂
    I kept LOL at my desk here at work. My co-workers probably thought I’m nuts or something and this is all your fault!
    So, since you call your pal Greg buttercup, what nickname does he call you? Come on, tell us.

    YDavis’s last blog post..Peek-a-boo, I see you

  2. YD – I love random bursts of laughter at work! Makes ’em think you are crazy! I don’t think I can say what he calls me on here…it’s pretty rough!

    freckles – he’s a bit of a homophobe which is why I do it of course…it’s great fun, esp at the gym!

    June – I don’t think she read that yet as I am still walking. The scars…yeah…I gotta keep you coming back!

    inadvertent farmer – I will have to work on that picture…they do exist. I’ll look around!
    And of course jello wrestling! All the gelatin strengthens one’s nails I hear!

    Capri Kel – yeah, the scars…they are from when I was running with the bulls in Pamplona…or wait…maybe from my secret missions for the President…gosh, I can’t remember… 😉

  3. You say “current wife” like maybe it’s just a temporary situation… Ooooohhhhh. I’d be careful if I were you. You might be facing a plate of liver and lima beans tonight. 😉

    Evil Twin’s Wife’s last blog post..My Crazy Day

  4. Warren,
    I know you love it when people tell you are one messed up dude…so I won’t.
    But really, what the hell is wrong with you?
    (Sorry, about the language, you bring out the best in me.)
    In all seriousness, thanks for the laughs…I really needed them today. It’s been one of those days.

    cheesychick’s last blog post..52 week challenge

  5. ETW – I sometimes wonder if Warren pushes me to see how far I’ll go before I snap. It’s not going to be pretty when it finally happens. Fortunately, I seem to be related to Job, so he’ll have to push pretty far.

  6. ETW – options…it’s all about options

    cheesychick – I was stuffed in the lockers too much in junior high I think!

    Emily – I am not too scared of you…not much anyhow

    Mandie – I know! I just can’t help myself!

    tipper – awesome! you should do it too! It’s fun!

    Kris – you didn’t expect otherwise did you?

    GW – Do it! I’d like to see your answers!

    Natalie – I will work on that! It is a bit disturbing though!
