You are so random
You know there is one game that never grows old.....TAG. Seriously what is not to love about tag. Even today as a 30 something year old I love the game of tag. Even better when ya can geek out and do it in blog form.
Now I get to play the 8 Random Things About Me meme. Thanks Susan for the T - to the A - to the G.
So here goes.....
1) I love trashy television like Search for the Next Pussycat Doll - I just cannot look away.
2) I seriously - no seriously - want to play one game with Roger Federer. That is not a joke.
3) I have an irrational fear of sharks - considering I swim in the ocean maybe 3 times a year. But I LOVE Shark Week and get pumped every year that it is on. Maybe I should stop watching.
4) I am addicted to Vitamin Water. Especially the Energy flavor.
5) My high school class had a grand total of 16 students. 2 years before there were 5.
6) I love crazy European bands from the 80's - Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, A-Ha, Alphaville, and of course The Smiths. My wife hates them.
7) My best purchase ever (besides my wife's engagement ring) is my Dyson. Love to clean.
8) Speaking of my wife's engagement ring. I carried it around locked in my glove compartment for 5 months before I asked her to marry me. She never looked.
Good times. Well there ya go, a little about me.
Let me spread the love......
Oh Matt, Matt, Matt - European bands from the 80's??? Alphaville? Tell your wife she is absolutely right about hating them. Man, that was painful to read... :)
I totally agree about the Dyson... I hate to clean, but I love my Dyson.

Dang...I thought I could avoid this one. But alas, both you and mindblob have caught me :)
Thanks for the tag Matt. I'll be updating shortly. Oh, and what game would you play with Mr. Federer? I hear he's pretty good at Parchesi...

Thanks for playing, Matt. And by the way, I love any '80s music! "Forever Young" by Alphaville was my high school senior prom song, and I still can sing every word to "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys off of the top of my head.

Cord - dude I grew up with 2 sisters. I was screwed from the beginning. My music tastes were out of my control. But now I LOVE it. Give me some Flock of Seagulls and I am good :)
Sean - Feel the pain baby!
Ryan - Sorry man, takn' ya down with me :) Oh and yeah I heard he is good at bocce too. Hell I just want to meet the man. I will play tic -tac-toe with him if would let me.
Susan - Thanks for the support. I need it.

Matt, Thanks for the tag. Now I get to agonize over what deep, dark secrets to share. And by the way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 80's European bands.

Hey Matt - My wife loves all those same '80s bands. Maybe I should hook you two up. :-)

Do you think about life and think about death, and neither one particularly appeals to you?
