Anyway, here's my response to my own questions from this week's
. More themed weeks in the works but I'm going to keep the covers on them for now.
1. When was the last time you caught yourself before doing something really stupid? What was it?
I was juggling butcher knives the other day and I had to itch my nose but didn't feel like stopping juggling the three 12 inch razor sharp blades so I....... No wait, that was a dream I was having.
The last stupid thing I almost did was most likely having to do with our neighbor's and their acting like a pair of high school kids with their heads firmly planted in their asses over this whole car bullshit. But I held my tongue, took the higher ground and will let them be petulant little bitches. Its not like they were ever going to be good friends anyway, this just converves energy.
2. What was your last nightmare about?
I very rarely have nightmares but the last one I can remember had something to do with my wife, the unborn (though it was born in the dream), Nande and soem really persistent jerks in crappy cars. That's about all I can remember. The worst nightmare I ever had was ages ago, my father and I were being chased across rooftops by Nazis and, in the end, I was shot as I jumped across a roof. I fell into the river below and bled out. Very strange as I've never died in a dream before and that's probably why it sticks with me so well.
3. How do you entertain yourself in traffic?
I talk smack alot. About the big hair chickie who's gabbing on her cellphone while weaving from line to line or the teenager in his lowered Civic with the grapefruit sized tailpipe and enough bass coming out of his car to tell just how cool he thinks he is. If I'm on the motorcycle, I tend to sing to myself. Usually the last song I heard at work on the iPod but I can also default to one of my alltime favorite road tunes, "Where'd You Go" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
4. Who inspires you?
My wife, for her never ending marvelous attitude throughout this pregnancy. She's also a caring and compassionate woman who married me despite everything.
My mother because she's been a pediatric social worker for a very long time, has dealt with those most difficult emotional times with a dying child or one that's in an abusive house and has to be removed. She does her job with amazing compassion, care and concern. There's no way I could walk a day in her shoes.
My father because he loved life, loved being, loved enjoying everything that life offered and because he was both a brilliant and humble man.
My brother because he has exceeded every expectation ever made of him (or least that's how it seems sometimes).
My sister because she's dealt with serious issues among her family that would have easily turned me into a puddle on the floor where she's demonstrated a truly astounding inner strength to hold herself and her family together.
5. What trait in the opposite sex makes you wonder most?
I think the easiest one is the fascination with shoes.
6. Which of the seven deadly sins is the worst? Why?
I had to remember all of them first and this page was quite useful (they've also got virtues as well). Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth are the seven I'm working from.
First off, greed and gluttony are essentially the same thing and envy is another stop along that same train of thought.
But the worst of the bunch? Pride, I think. A prideful person becomes a serious pain in the ass because they think they're too good for things. Or their ego gets in the way of their decision making and they work from a sentimental place instead of a logical place.
7. Do you blog on the weekends much or at all?
Not often but sometimes. I usually try to avoid working on the computer too much over the weekend. I do it all week and its a good idea to break away for the weekend.
Alright, there's my Cheddar, now I've gotta get some work done before the office closes early for this Good Friday.
Want some cheese? Go and get yer own!
