I was tagged
Current mood: working
Category: Life

Rules: The first player of this game starts with the "6 weird things/habits about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose the 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read yours. So this is my first venture into the world of blogging so here goes...

1. I am compulsive about alphabetizing my stuff. My DVD's are all in order, but it is driving me crazy inside right now that my CaseLogic cd wallet and folder are so out of whack. I'm not sure why I am like this. I think it comes from those few years I worked at Sam Goody and Peaches (in NC) and had to alphabetize everything in the store a billion times a day in order to take home my measly wage, which I promptly spent on more music (at least in the Sam Goody days). And of course all cd's are by group name or artist's last name unless it is a compilation then it goes by title...duh. Oh, and "The" does not count as a word. Example: The Matrix is filed under "M", don't laugh I have helped people find Abbey Road in the "T" section.

2. I am useless knowledge guy. Mostly about sports, music, or movies but in general. I don't feel like I am fully knowledgable about any one thing but have general knowledge about a wide range of topics. One of the reasons I enjoy trivia games (Pursuit, NTN, etc.) so much, because every now and then..not all the time, but once in a while I get on a roll and knock off a good string of answers and I THINK I'm smart. Meanwhile everyone else thinks, why the hell does he know that crap. I refrain from this with great effort whenever I go to B'Dubs with Stacey because she would kill me if I stared at the NTN machine the whole time we are there, it's bad enough looking at the 50 games that are on all over the place.

3. I have this feeling like I am supposed to be doing more than I am. I have felt this for quite awhile now. Haven't ever told anybody this. I really enjoy what I do and don't want to do anything else, but I feel like I am supposed to be making some other kind of impact on the world. The thing is I don't know what that is or if I really want to take on that type of risk. I am pretty comfortable in my space as a social worker, father, boyfriend, generally good guy and am afraid that if I decide to add another title or action to that will disrupt the universe that I have created for myself and those around me. Like I said I don't know what I am talking about because I don't know it what way I would take on this new responsibility. Would I do it through music (I mean really jumping into performing head first and for real), some other form of social work, church, sports, writing, hand modeling. I don't know but I believe there is an part of me that isn't being fully utilized as it was intended.

4. I enjoy musical theater. I have no excuse or explanation for it, I just do. Say what you will, but being able to express love, hate, feelings nothing more than feelings through cheesy melodic songs is appealing to me. Whether it be sung by a man, woman, lion, phantom, cat, whatever. How much happier would the world be if every now and then everyone just burst into a little song and dance to express their feelings.

5. I have a fear of roller coasters. No, I am not afraid of heights...much, I am not afraid of moving fast, or falling. I am afraid of roller coaosters. I love to fly, ride in a fast car (with a safe driver on a closed course), have been to the top of the Sears Tower (a little freaky). It is something I am trying to get over because I realize it is completely in my head and it is apparently fun to the majority of the world. When I get on one I freeze up. I get all tense and stop breathing. Everyone tells me that I have to breath, but it is not that easy. Both of my sisters are this way as well so maybe it is genetic. By the way when you are not breathing and try to scream it sounds more like a drawn out groan grunt depending on the length of the scream. So if you are riding on a roller coaster this summer and hear the person behind you making that noise... they are not having fun.

6. I have been lucky enough to establish many friendships in my life. Most of them are not life long never forget you will always keep in touch send a Christmas card every year type of friendships. But they are people that in 30 years I will still say are my friend when I run into them at the mall or on a trip somehwere. On the other hand I have several friendships that I have that I should and do not cultivate more. I am the guy that doesn't call much or make plans ahead of time with or schedule a lunch with. I would like to be that with some of the friends I have now. Some people take this as me not caring if I get to know them better or that I am blowing them off. This is not true, I do care and do not want to blow anyone off I just forget about stuff sometimes. (Side note my #7 would be, my memory is horrible and I am afraid that it is just getting worse. I am starting to have to write EVERYTHING down. Not sure but I this is genetic in Reese's). I really enjoy the friends that I (and Stacey) have made in the past couple of years and would like to continue to see those relationships grow as well as reconnect with past friends that I have not maintained the way I should. I don't want to be that guy...

I hope this is what Ritch was looking for, him and his cerebreal MySpace. And to think I thought people just came on here to get laid (right Stacey?)

So now your it....Stacey, Dewaynia, Alicia, Geoff...I don't have 6 people ("friends") who Ritch hasn't already tagged.  How pathetic is that?
