Breakdown Cheddar

This week's Cheddar X, It's Cheesier is a breakdown.

Ten movies you'd watch over and over:
LA Confidential, Usual Suspects, The Road Warrior, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Harold and Maude, Breakfast at Tiffany's

Nine people you enjoy the company of:
P, Graydon, Nande, Paul, John, Ken, Leblanc (and it is very cool that I can finally say that!), Ethan and Erika (though I don't get to see her anywhere near often enough).

Eight things you're wearing:
Contacts, old time Giants baseball cap, my Himilayan Climbing Team shirt, GAP jeans (comfy AND good looking!), Rockport waterproof loafers (practical and work dress approved!), FTL boxer briefs (are there any men out there in the world that don't wear boxer briefs now? I can't imagine why), my newfound attitude is wrapped around my shoulders like a mink stole and my ever present smile is right where I left it.

Seven things on your mind:
The election, what happens if Bush steals it again, where my career is headed, how to retire in five years, that I need more exercise, all my chores for this coming weekend and how to keep the dog from bringing mud into the house through the dog door while we're at work during the rainy season.

Six objects you touch every day:
My wife, my son, my dog, my keyboard, my pecker and my iPod!

Five things you do every day:
Scratch myself, see if I can figure out a way to not go to work, walk the hound down by the slough, tell my wife that I love her dearly and quality time with my little boy.

Four bands (etc) that you couldn't live without:
Cake, The Coup, Bob Marley and the Wailers and Weezer. (Honorable mentions: Sublime, Lou Reed, Jimmy Buffett, No Doubt and The Flaming Lips)

Three of your favorite songs at this moment:
The Best Times of Our Lives (Cheb Mami & Aswad), Miles from Nowhere (Cat Stevens)and Way You Walk (Papas Fritas).

Two people who have influenced your life the most:
It would be very easy to say my Mom and Dad but it would be just as easy to say my brother and my sister. I think I am going to have go with a combo of the two, my brother and my mother. My brother because he was, in many ways, the dominant male figure in my life growing up after my parents were divorced. My mother because she has been one of the few consistent influences on me, I've had my share of stumbles, falls and spills but she has never left me, never lost her faith in me and always stood ready to assist if I needed a hand getting back up on to me feet. Which isn't to say that my father and sister were not huge influences on me, they were but if I'm only allowed the two then I go with Mom and brother.

One person who you love more than anyone in the world:
Graydon. Maybe it should be my wife and I do love her deeply and intensely. But I know that I would not hesitate to lay my own life down in order to save Graydon's. My wife would do the same. His need is far, far greater than anyone else's and anyone, he's half me. I would do anything for him and I mean that.

So there's my Cheese. All done, lots of fun, time to get working on another one.

Want some? Get some!
