Memorial Day Super 8 MEME, But 1 Day late

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Yesterday, Memorial Day, I got meme’d, against my wishes.

Got one of those Internet chain letter types of things called a MEME where I am supposed to yap about me and share stuff I wouldn’t ordinarily. Since I was busy with business I didn’t get this done until today. Sorry, Irina.

Mary McKnight initiated this Memorial Day Super 8 MEME, based on the number 8, you know like 8-ball, figure 8? Her rationale? It’s her favorite number, the 8 is the infinity symbol if you turn it on its side, and it’s 2008. Whatever. Anyhow, she meme’d Laurie Manny in Long Beach, who meme’d Irina Netchaev from Pasadena, who decided I ought to be part of the 8 bloggers she needed to meme. Lucky me.

Since I tend to be a law abiding citizen, and meme law according to Mary McKnight requires that I answer these questions AND find 8 other lucky bloggers to do the same, I cooperated. Sort of a twist on “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Here’s Mary’s MEME

Here’s Laurie’s MEME

Here’s Irina’s MEME

Anyhow, here are the 8 questions (do you see the trend?).

1. Who is your favorite musical artist (post a YouTube Video)

This is impossible. I don’t have a real favorite. There are many artists that I really liked, or have liked over the years, and picking one out of all these doesn’t seem right. I enjoy classic rock and roll – The Rolling Stones are high up there, for example. Can’t leave out the Beatles. Pink Floyd and The Moody Blues were favorites of mine at some point. Love Annie Lennox from the old Eurythmics (my kids when they were young called them The Arithmetics). Oh, and Fleetwood Mac too. I’m a big jazz lover and the list of artists is endless. Chris Botti is a fave, as is (was) Chet Baker. And blues is right up there – Etta James may top that list. Since I have to pick one for a video, here’s Sweet Dreams sung by Annie Lennox.

So do I Jeff. We have some bands around here doing the old classics. In fact, we have three going this weekend. I just need to decide which one to go hear. I may be able to do two of the three. Gray is good....it's a sign of wisdom and strength.

Hi Jeff,

Great job, I enjoyed reading this! The pain and suffering that goes into writing out own meme's. I guess I wimped out with the last one...;)
