Firsts!

Kathy has published a meme where she asked her readers to answer the following 10 questions. I thought they were excellent questions so I've chosen to answer her challenge here instead. No need to answer these yourselves unless you really want to.

* * * * *

1. When was your first kiss?
When I was 16 in the back seat of my friend's Mustang after we met two girls while skiing one evening. We set up another "date" for the following week but a few days later I got my first perm and my head looked like a bowling ball. Then when we ran into them the next week "my" girl made an excuse about why we couldn't hook up and took off for the night.

2. When did you first start buying holiday or birthday gifts for other people and stop thinking about what people would buy for you?
Well, I've never stopped thinking about what people should buy for me. Everyone should always buy me gifts. All the time. I started buying other people gifts as soon as I had my first "real" job at about 15.

3. When was the first time you thought of yourself not as a kid/teen, but as an adult?
Probably when I was 17 and playing music in bars all over northern MN. I really had no business doing that at that age. Mom and dad, what were you thinking?

4. What do you remember about the first time you drove a car?
Absolutely true story... I got pulled over for speeding ON THE WAY HOME FROM MY DRIVER'S TEST! Seriously. My brother drove me out there to take my test and my mom followed in her car, all so I could be a big shot and drive home alone in my own car. A few minutes after passing my test I was pulled over and watching my mom shake her head in disbelief as she slowly passed by in her car.

5. Tell me about your first pet.
A parakeet named Charli, which coincidentally is my wife's nickname. I consider her my last pet.

6. What was your first job?
A paper route. And in the days when a poor 12 year old kid had to actually go door-to-door and collect the money from the 100 or so people he delivered to. And people actually had the nerve to make excuses for why they couldn't pay and ask me to "come back some other time." And if I didn't collect all the money it came out of MY salary. It was insane.

7. Who was the first teacher to make a positive impact on your life?
My 3rd grade teacher Mr. Grassman. Great teacher... I loved the guy. He got drafted to go to Vietnam and I was in awe of the fact that he was going to have to go to war and shoot a machine gun and possibly get killed - all for our country. The day before he stopped teaching I asked him if he would bring me back a souvenir from Vietnam and he said, "sure, what would you like?" I couldn't think of anything specific and just thought anything from Asia would be cool, even plant life so I said, "Oh, I don't know... how about some grass?" (hey, he was the Grass-man) I can't even imagine what was going through his head at that moment.

8. If you’ve lived in more than one house or apartment as an adult, tell me about your first one.
My first apartment was a one-room efficiency in a seedy part of south Minneapolis. It was tiny and full of cockroaches but I loved it and was proud of it all the same.

9. What was it like the first time you got drunk (assuming you remember).
I was about 15 and was in my kitchen with my brother and his friends (who were 5 years older than me) and they were sitting at the table drinking some beers. They decided it wouldn't do any harm to let me have a beer. But after I finished it I started crying for no reason and everyone started laughing at me.

10. Did you marry your first love?
Technically yes. As you've read over and over in my Dear Diary serious, I thought I was in love many times in my youth, but it wasn't until I met Charli that I realized what real love was all about.

Quick! Right at this moment...

1. Are you listening to a song or watching a TV show? If so, what?

2. Are you having a good hair day?

3. Are you hungry?

4. Is something annoying you?

5. Are you supposed to be somewhere else - or doing something else?

6. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?

7. Are you on the phone (and ignoring the person you're talking to)?

8. Do you have to go to the bathroom? 1 or 2?

9. What was the very last blog you read before this one?

10. What are you wearing?

A Blogger Challenge!

Brent from Ominous Comma was smart kind enough to include me in his latest blog challenge...

"Write a funny post that includes an actual and helpful technical blogging tip or educational material helpful to new bloggers."

And somehow, he was clever enough to disguise this as a "challenge" and not as a meme. He even says so right in his post: "Please note that this is not a meme."

How can you argue with that?

And because I'm naive enough to be flattered by my inclusion in this challenge, I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Therefore, here is my contribution of:

5 Helpful Tips for New Humor Bloggers

1. Don't take yourself too seriously

Self-deprecation sells. People love to read about how much of an idiot you are. It makes them feel normal.

Take Kathy for example - she has self-deprecation down to a science. Here's one of my favorite posts, where she somehow manages to get herself lost in her own neighborhood. And this post, where her nurse used her butt as a table. And even her latest post where she shuts herself in her husband's hot car while she tries to figure out how to start it. These are funny stories!

Now don't get me wrong... I'm not saying Kathy is an idiot, I'm just saying that she's really good at exposing her human side (or fleshy side in the case of her butt post) for the sake of a laugh. You gotta love her for that.

2. Know your limitations

You often hear bloggers say, "Write what you know about." But the flip side of that is true too. Don't write what you don't know about. I know it sounds like the same thing but there is a difference.

For example, I once thought about writing a strictly potato blog. That's right, a blog about all things potato. But then I quickly realized I was no competition for the other high profile potato bloggers already out there:

P. Head
Ida the Ho
(the late) Tim Russert

Another example of knowing my limitations was knowing I could never come up with more than 5 items for this post.

3. Hang around with a lot of unfunny people

The same way that hanging out with stupid people, or preschoolers makes you look really smart. I'm not saying this is what I do, but it is a proven strategy that you can employ.

4. Give away a lot of free crap

Ok, this doesn't have anything to do with writing a successful humor blog, but DAMN - it sure attracts a lot of visitors!

5. Don't abuse the privilege!

As a blogger, you have a responsibility to publish good material. The biggest mistake some new bloggers make is thinking they're "just another blog" and that simply throwing some mundane crap out there will be good enough. They couldn't be farther from the truth. Read this post to learn why bloggers are now being looked at as the newest social heroes. It'll change the way you look at yourself.

So there you have it... 5 tips for new bloggers.

If you're interested in participating in this meme challenge, here's all you have to do - according to Brent:

1. Write a funny post that includes an actual and helpful technical blogging tip or educational material helpful to new bloggers.
2. Challenge five other experienced bloggers of funniness.
3. Post it. (You thought I would overlook that little technicality, didn’t you?)
4. Link and badge up if you so desire.

And so, because I am a man of my word, I will challenge 5 very funny bloggers whose opinions I think we could all benefit from:

Kathy from The Junk Drawer
JD from I Do Things
VE from VE's Fantastical Nonsense
Marie from Memarie Lane
Maureen from I'd Rather Be Blogging

And because Brent said it so well himself, I will simply restate how he ended his post:

As always you don’t have to be handpicked by myself to answer this challenge, every blogger I know is always on the lookout for new ideas to write about and here I have provided one for you free of charge.

Will you rise to the challenge or grovel on the couch of…not-rising-ness?

The choice is yours.

Remember, even though it comes with a badge and backlinks, and is foisted upon you like a highschool chemistry lab partner, that doesn’t make it a meme.

It’s a challenge.

I challenge you to stop by this humor blog!

8 Random Things About Me

I was tagged by Drowsey Monkey recently to participate in a meme that's been around in one form or another for quite a while now - write 8 random things about yourself.

Over the last 2 1/2 years I've done variations on this theme... unimportant things, weird things, smelly things - so it's quite likely you may have seen some of these answers before. But hey, what can I say - there's a limit to the number of interesting things about me. Who knew?

These 8 things tend to lean more to the "odd" category than "random," but that's what I feel like writing about today.

1. I can't use an extension cord if there's a knot in it
For reals. No matter how long the cord, no matter how messed up it is or how simple the knot is, I have to untangle it before I can plug it in.

2. Given a full plate of food, I'll always eat my veggies first
I think I just like to get them out of the way.

3. If I'm holding a clothes pin, I'll clip it to various parts of my head - such as my ears, my eyebrows or my chin
Must have something to do with tactile stimulation, but I actually enjoy the feeling of having a clothes pin clipped to my skin. This is probably the single thing that freaks my wife out the most.

4. I have 2 piercings in my left ear
Leftover from the 80's. The holes are still open and occasionally I'll put a small diamond stud in the bottom one when I'm doing a gig. I would have thought that the holes would have closed up after all these years but they really haven't. A good thing to remind your kids before they decide it's cool to put holes all over their faces.


5. I love braunschweiger and pickle sandwiches
Mmmm. Nothing says delicious like liverwurst!



6. The blinker in my car is a metronome to me
When sitting at an intersection with my blinker on, I HAVE to bang out a counter-rhythm on the steering wheel to the steady beat of the blinker. It's not optional.

7. According to my wife, my legs run like a dog when I'm sleeping
Hmmm, RLS or leftover habits from my previous life as a Labrador retriever?

8. I don't eat for the first time every day until noon
I'm just not hungry when I wake up in the morning. But once I get to the office, I have a cup of coffee first thing, followed by another one at 11:00. You could set your watch by it.

Feel free to post your own version of this one if you want. I'm not much of a tagger so if you want it... it's yours!

Unimportant? I guess that depends on who you ask.

One of my bestest blogger friends, Jess - from Riley's Ramblings - just tagged me for a meme where I'm supposed to list Six Unimportant Things about myself.

First of all, let me just say that I'd be hardpressed to find any unimportant things about myself - let alone six. But I'll give it my best shot.

But only because I adore Jess and she totally cracks me up. In fact, I am so infatuated with her writing that I preordered her new novel Driving Sideways 6 full months before it was even due to be released. Now it's FINALLY going to be published on May 20th.

All I can say is, IT'S ABOUT FRIGGEN TIME! (tap tap tap)

Anyway, if you haven't met Jess yet go here now. You'll be glad you did.

And now on to the memege.

I present to you Six Unimportant Things About Jeff:

1. I've worked in this same office with these same 4 people for 12 years now.

We've had others come and go, but these folks have been here with me since day 1 and are like my 2nd family. I've never worked at a place where everyone gets along as well as we do. It sounds corny, but they actually make it fun to go to work everyday. Now that I think about it, I suppose that's probably not so unimportant after all.

One thing you should know though, this cleaning woman got it all wrong. You can tell that by the evidence of the Windex we keep at the ready. Of course that's the same bottle we bought 12 years ago, but still.

2. I drive a 17 year-old Geo Prism back and forth to work every day.


The problem is, even at 115,000 miles, the damn thing still runs perfectly, AND gets over 30 mpg. And because I won't replace it until it dies a natural death, I'm likely to still be driving this old shoebox for another 17 years. But when I do finally need to replace it, I'll have all this excellent advice from you guys. Thanks everyone!

3. I eat a bowl of this cereal with no added sugar every night before bed. It satisfies my munchie craving and isn't as bad as the crap I would be ingesting if I wasn't interested in living past 50.

Hmm, maybe this entry doesn't fit this meme. I mean come on... Special K? It doesn't get any more important than that.

4. I set my cellphone ringtone to sound like an old fashioned regular telephone. In a world where everyone else's phones are playing Broadway musicals and hip hop diatribes, my ordinary ringtone has actually become a novelty.

5. Whereas most normal people have fun music stations tuned in on their radios, I only listen to public radio. This severely limits my "hipness" factor in that I haven't heard any new music in like 10 years. People often think just because I'm a musician, they can come to me for advice on who's hot in the music industry. They're wrong.

6. My reputation in Great Briton is mud because of this man. First he falsely accused me of stealing Huddersfield's mutant duck, and now he's accusing me of having a tawdry extramarital affair based off of an innocent picture taken totally out of context.

Normally this would be deemed very important news, but because it's all based off a bunch of lies, I'm going to shut down this rumor mill right here and now - and claim it UNIMPORTANT!

Two-for-one on memes - This week only!

Aye Carumba!

I think Dan has finally taken one step too far into the depths of the mundane by tagging me for what may be considered the least inspired meme of all time. According to the rules, we are supposed to show a screen capture of our computer's desktop.

{{{Yawn}}}

Stay with me here...

Dan selected me because, he claims, "I know he’s always up for a good meme." In other words, Dan thinks I'm a meme whore. Which is true.

But only this week because I'm busy with other much more pressing matters - like preparing for my 2-year anniversary next week. So, that being said, I will begrudgingly comply and show you my none-too-exciting desktop.

(click to enlarge)

Besides the large picture of my new baby in the middle, my desktop is basically arranged into the following 4 quadrants:
Upper left - My kind of "catch all" of most used icons
Lower left - Microsoft apps and internet browser icons
Upper right - Work specific system connections
Lower right - Mulitmedia apps for music and video

Holy crap, that's 2 memes in one week! I think I need an intervention.

p.s. Made you yawn up above, didn't I?

Bathroom Meme

I say if you're gonna do a meme, you might as well go all the way and reveal more than anybody ever wanted to know about you.

And what could be more personal than your bathroom habits? Exactly.

So here is a list of choices we all make on what types of personal care products and habits we choose on a daily basis. Until I put this together, I never realized just how many choices there are. How lucky for you.

1. Conditioner y/n?
No, shampoo is good enough for me. With the lack of locks on my melon, I have neither the need nor the desire to "rinse and repeat".

2. Razor - manual, electric?
I'm not sure if my razor is manual, electric or some kind of hybrid, but I use the Gillette M3Power "vibrating" razor. My sister-in-law gave me one of these a few years back as a Christmas present and I've been a huge fan ever since. This razor shaves super close and just glides right over your face. But DAMN - these suckers are expensive!

3. Shaving cream - foam, gel?
Since I usually shave every day it doesn't take much to mow my lawn - but if I had to choose, I guess I would pick gel because it does seem to lubricate better than foam.

4. After shave - y/n, brand?
When I was much younger I used to use after shave, but more as a cologne than a moisturizer. But I don't have a problem with dry or chaffed skin so I'd rather not spend money on something extra I don't need.

5. Toothbrush - regular or electric?
Just a regular old-fashioned toothbrush kind of guy. Although I probably should take my dentist's advice and replace it more than once a year. According to him "the bristles should be standing up and firm and not all smushed down blah blah blah..." Whatever. What does he know anyway?

6. Toothpaste - regular or gel, whitening etc?
I don't have much of a preference here. But if I had to choose I suppose it would be a minty-flavored gel. We're using a citrus type of toothpaste right now and even though I'm sure it does the job, it doesn't make me feel minty fresh afterwards.

7. Floss - y/n, flavored, thick/thin, waxed?
Yes and no. I floss, but not consistently. But when I do it needs to be the really thin stuff since my back teeth are very close together. And if I break off a piece between my teeth I only have about 5 seconds before I go insane.

8. Mouthwash - y/n, brand?
No, I've never been a mouthwash kind of guy. And that disgusting commercial where that guy swooshes his hot spitty mouthwash around in his mouth for 10 minutes doesn't help much either.

9. Toilet paper - over or under?
We definitely an "over the top" kind of family. In more ways than one.

10. Magazines?
Yes, we have a lavatory library. But I hate it when the supply runs low and you have to keep reading the same magazines over and over again, to the point of where you eventually end up reading about the side effects of Celebrex.

11. Hair dryer or towel dry?
It depends. When I first get my hair cut, I just towel dry it briefly and comb it. But once it gets a bit longer I blow dry it to help poof it up. Ok, this is officially the point where I now know this meme was a bad idea.

12. Hair "products" - moose, gel, hairspray, etc?
Just a light spritz of hairspray is all I use to keep my luscious remaining locks in place. And I prefer a non-aerosol pump.

13. Cologne or body spray - y/n, brand?
No. I stopped wearing cologne shortly after I met my wife and vowed my undying love for her forever. I'm not sure how that's related but I'm guessing it had to do with the fact that I wasn't on the prowl anymore so I didn't need to wear bait. On a related note however, if any of you have teenage boys, I hope for your sake they don't find out about Axe, or any of the other popular body sprays. My wife and I have had to intervene to let them know that they don't need to spray on a whole can at once when a half a can will get the job done just fine. Ugh.

14. Deodorant - Spray, roll-on, stick (gel or white), scented etc?
Mildly-scented (fresh) gel stick.

15. Sink and shower soap - liquid, bar, bodywash, etc?
Sink: Liquid hand soap.
Shower: Everything on the market, but like the story says - I prefer the bar.

16. Sink cup - disposable Dixie type, regular?
We don't actually have a cup in our bathroom because nobody in our family would even dream about using a "community" cup, and the Dixie cup thing is too much of a hassle to keep stocked - so we either go without or bring one in from the kitchen.

Whew! Way more information than you ever needed to know. And this is only the basic stuff. I didn't even want to attempt to add questions for women about makeup, lotions and *ahem* "feminine care" choices. I may be interested in your personal habits - but not THAT interested.

So feel free to steal this and share it on your own blog (and women can add whatever girlie crap they want). For some stupid reason I think it would be fun.



But I'm guessing Grundir would have a different opinion.

7 Random Facts About Me

Because I'm feeling kinda memie, here's my response to a tag from Gale to list 7 random things about myself. Ready... go!

1. I don't know if there is an actual "syndrome" or if it's just a label for kicky people, but according to my wife I officially have some form of RLS. I would categorize it more as "constantly moving my legs day or night and in fact I'm even doing it right now syndrome" - but that doesn't make for a very good acronym.

2. I can't stand bologna by itself, but I love it on a sandwich with pickles and mayo. The same thing applies to braunschweiger as long as I don't overanalyze the fact that it looks and smells like cat food to me.

3. I've got floaters big time. No, not in the toilet - in my eyes. Ironically, the condition I am afflicted with (known as posterior vitreous detachment) affects my vitreous humor, even though I find nothing funny about it. Especially since it resulted in laser surgery a few years ago to reattach my retina.

4. I also have tinnitus from years of playing rock and roll music, but I've learned to ignore it. I've tried using that approach for my alarm clock in the morning but unfortunately it doesn't work.

5. I grew 6" in the summer between my 9th and 10th grade. At night I would wake up screaming with severe cramps in my calves and my mom would have to come in my room and massage them. What I'm most impressed with is that she would let me have cows in my room in the first place.

6. I never had a girlfriend in highschool. I was more of a loner than a loser, although I was never comfortable with there only being a one-letter separation between the two.

7. These are the only 6 random things about me. Everything else in my life has been neatly categorized and put in labeled filing cabinets. In fact, if you look in the drawer called "Random Facts" you'll find a folder with these 6 items.

Tributes and Hobbies

This is an oddly-combined post but I wanted to mention two things today, so I'm going to include them both even though they have nothing in common whatsoever.

First thing...

If you happen to pay attention to my "Please Remember" box in my sidebar, you'll notice that our American fatalities have recently exceeded 3500. Being as it has only been a little over 5 months since I wrote this post about reaching the 3000 mark, I just wanted to ask everyone to please remember once again. Losing an average of 100 soldiers a month is terribly sad and the sacrifices these brave men and women have made for us should not go unnoticed.

In addition, our fallen soldiers are not the only ones who have suffered or are suffering. I've been seeing a lot of interviews lately on the subject of post-traumatic stress disorder and the inability of our healthcare system to help veterans who are returning from war. Facilities are overbooked and understaffed and the lag times until treatment programs are available are increasing every day.

One of my blogfriends Deborah, from Weathering Migraine Storms, has just written this heart-wrenching post about what her son Philip is going through since he came home. I encourage you to stop by and give everyone in Deborah's family your support.

---

And secondly, on a much lighter note...

... as promised last week in my Show Us Your Hobby! post, today is the day to Show You Their Hobbies! That's right folks, as a reward for humoring me and responding to my call to show us your... whatevers, here is a link-parade of everyone who played along.


1. Linda from Letters From Third Grade shows us some of her mad photography skilz in this post. She clearly has an eye for subject matter, unlike me who wouldn't be able capture a Kodak moment if I had a net.



2. Ashley from One Tall Momma wrote this tounge-in-cheek post about her favorite hobby. I won't give it away here but let's just say it includes tongues and cheeks.

3. Heather from Cool Zebras wrote this post about a hugely popular hobby these days - scrapbooking! Much better than the pictures of my youth I have mashed together in shoeboxes in my closet.

4. Gale from This Was Me wrote this and this about a very cool restoration project she and her husband are working on. I admire their desire to want to spend hours and hours sanding something, because anyone who has read this blog over the last year and a half knows how I feel about sanding anything!

5. And finally my mom, who doesn't have a blog but wrote the comment of the week in response to my story when she said, "My hobby is waiting on your Dad!!!!!"

Huh, if only that were a joke.

Show Us Your Hobby!

Since I'm designating next week as "Show Us Your Hobby" week, it only makes sense that I should be the one to get the ball rolling. If you'd like to participate, simply write a post next week about your favorite hobby or hobbies and send me the link. Then, at the end of next week I'll put them all together in another post so we can all share in the fun.

Who said I wasn't a party animal.

Anyway, here's my story. And I'm sticking to it.

You can tell where you are in life by the magazines you read and the hobbies that you have. For example, I used to read Playb Rolling Stone and Guitar Player magazine, and now I read Family Handyman.

And - because of that, one of my favorite hobbies is building things from Family Handyman.

In general, I'm pretty good with construction lumber and wood screws, but sometimes it takes me a few tries before I get things right.

It all started when we first bought this house - 10 or so years ago. My wife wanted an arbor so I built this one (look carefully, you can see it amongst the vines).


Then a few years later I built this one on the other side of our house.


And finally last summer I built this one in the back yard. This is a good example of one I didn't get right the first time. Currently I'm in the process of rebuilding the swing seat because this one ended up warping horribly.

For years I thought Arbor Day was the day to build a new arbor.

About the time my daughter was in Kindergarten I built this little bench from the magazine so she would have a place to sit and wait for the bus.


But of everything I've built so far, I think I'm most proud of this potting bench.

Not only does it have a garden hose caddy on the side, but it also has a hidden soil bin and working sink with running water.


However, this too needed refurbishing when the bottom ended up rotting out because I didn't raise the base high enough off the ground. But after last week, it's now redesigned and better than new!

And there you have it. What I do in the tiny bit of spare time that I have.

So, I've showed you mine - now you show us yours!

The Blogger Beat

Last week I participated in the very popular Interview Meme.

Unlike most memes, where you simply write things about yourself and you're done, this meme allows other bloggers to let you ask them questions - which causes a chain-letter-like distribution effect that keeps this sucker going and going and going.

The fact is, I really enjoyed playing this one, and was fortunate enough to eventually have 8 fellow bloggers ask for my 5 questions. And - since I put them together, I thought it would be fun for everyone to see what I asked them and how they answered.

So, simply click on their pictures below and you will be taken directly to their Q&A posts.

Oh, and if you missed out on having me ask you 5 questions, I'm afraid I'm going to have to close the door on this one. Unfortunately, that's the consequences of reading a blogger with an attention span as short as mine.

Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the interviews. Enjoy!
