Matt - too bad, so sad!!  You're tagged! LOL~  Yes, that's me in Hawaii at a demo in Fort Shafter.  Never made the Karate Kid auditions.  I was there, just didn't pass the audition. :-)

Don - I owed it to Duane and Carol, otherwise I try to avoid these meme's.  I like reading other members meme's, just don't like writing my own.  So have you been tagged?  I find most people don't like to comment on these for fear they might get tagged themselves! hmmm...   haha!!  :-) 

Lisa - hahaha! If this were the last of them, I'd be ok with that for sure. I do prefer the ThemThems much more. Love your expression! =/  That was cute, thanks!  :-)

Carol - actually this was quite painful! lol~  Thanks for thinking of me and for all your kind words.  I mean it very sincerely to say that when I was mentioning (#8) work and relationships here, I was thinking of you, and how I forgave you for tagging me. haha!

You are a dear friend Carol, I will never take that for granted.  You are the one who is really making a difference in the world! Thank you. :-))

Thesa - I never went and searched all the Blogs to see who had already done one or not, my bad! If you want to do a "Special Edition" I'd love to see one.  I'm on my way over to your Blog now to check out your meme.  Be expecting a call from me soon, right when you least expect it! :-)))  Thanks for being such a great sport and a good friend! :-)

Brian - Carlos is the Bomb.  I was in a guitar contest in Hawaii back in the 80's and actually got to meet him at Aliha Stadium. I won the "Riff" contest, got an Ibanez Guitar, and got to go back stage to chat with him fo a bit. He's one of the most "down to earth" guys I have ever met.

Fran - that's funny! Not sure I could do it without the saloon. haha! I like the idea of living in the old western days, just seems like life was slower and simpler back then. :-)

Kristal - breaking blocks is nothing more than mind over matter, of course it does take some discipline and courage, and practice...kind of like Real Estate eh?  lol~  :-)

Terry - it wasn't so much a pain as it was time consuming trying to decide what to write and share.  Glad the questions were all pre selected for us.  I enjoy reading these about others too. They're a great way to get to know the personal side of many members here.  :-)

Gary - talk about a contrast, man, you aren't kidding.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and endulge some of my personal attributes.  Looking back at life sometimes helps us with where we really want to go and be in the future. :-)

Doug - I used the Flip Video Camera for the 1st Video. Great sound and portability.  Regarding Jeff Turner, the guy is the Bomb!  I met him in SF last year at the RE Connect, and have had the priviledge of talking with him many times since.  There are so many great bloggers on and off the rain, but Jeff was the first that came to mind when I got to that question. 

Justin - thanks my friend, we all have those childhood dreams deep inside still wanting to breakout of us, but somehow we get busy just trying to survive and get through the allotted time we have each day. Funny how that works aint it?  Here's one I left out, thought you might enjoy: haha!!

Gary - sorry to hear about your foot, but glad to hear you're getting back up and around.  I will be at the RE Connect, The BarCamp, and the Bloggers Connect, make sure we get to cross paths, I'm really excited to get to meet you this year.  I'll just look for the guy who's limping around right? lol~  :-))

Susie - it's great listening to Elvis anytime, he's a real legend!  I will be at RE Connect and looking forward to connecting with you there.  I'll find out what AR will be doing as far as a gathering and that sort of thing. I'll do another post when I find out more. :-))

Gita - thanks and you do the same. Hope all is well with you and the family. :-)

Hal - I appreciate that. So have you been tagged yet? Turns out almost everyone I picked has already been tagged and posted their Meme.  Guess I'll have to buzz by your Blog and see.  If you haven't, better get ready! lol~ :-) Thanks my friend, great to see you again.

Jeremy - that figures, guess next time I need to dig deeper in members Blogs before I go getting excited and selecting them of the top of my head.  Sorry buddy, I'll go check both of yours out when I'm done here :)

Duane - of course the wife is one of my favs, wonder if I can slip a video in here...thanks for the tag..I think!

David and Kristin - I do really want to meet you guys the most, what's Elvis got compared to you guys!!  You're the best.  As far as my wife, I didn't know family and relatives were eligable! lol~

Elaine - just checked it out.  Looks like everyone I tagged has already done one, including you. I feel like a such a ditz now!  :-(  Loved your Super 8, you did a great job, and I can't wait to see you on Jeopardy one day soon.  :-))

Tracy - bellied up alright, took me 10 days, but finally had to "get er done!!"  There's already enough personal stuff on my blog, these meme's just keep coming around again and again, and dog gonnit, I just can't say NO!  lol~ :-)

As far as the growing up part, I have to include this because my children and family are my biggest inspiration. This is one that will make it just in time for fathers day too.

Fred - Katerina is good at that, sneaking up behind you when you least expect it! haha!  I'll have to pop over and check out your post.  Thanks for checking out mine!  :-)

BTW - Katerina's Bday was earlier this week, hope you had the chance to wish her well...

Lizette, feel free to use that triva for your newsletter, I'd be honored to have contributed even if in just some small way.  So you like the longhaired ActiveBrad eh?  Here's one that I swear is me... I think... hahaha!  :-)



BTW - Still would love to discuss our next CD Cover design with you, just have too much on the plate right now.  Didn't want you to think I forgot about it.  Thanks.  :-)

Aida - enjoy the maze here, it can be overwhelming, or it can be fun. Opt for the FUN of it all. :-)  Next time you walk through a Listing or open house, check out the walls, I probably have a few of the escrows I closed over the years in those walls. lol~

Bo - I'm totally jealous! Didn't know David Lee Roth was touring with VH these days. I just picked up 4 tickets to the Journey, Heart, Cheap Trick Concert coming in September.  It set me back a bit, but worth every pennygetting to watch my kids at these concerts.  It's funny how they love some of the classics just like Dad. Very cool! :-)

Jer - loved both your posts! Yes, I hope to be coming East in the very near future. I'll let you know when I do for sure, you and I definitely have to hook up my friend. :-)

Brian - that picture brings back some really great memories, funny how photos and music do that to us huh?

Griselda - looks like folks are diggin the trivia about transaction files.  I found myself walking through my own house looking for signatures on my walls!!  lol~  :-)

Brad- I enjoyed getting to know you more through your meme. You do have a great job working for and with great people. I am glad you are on board with Active Rain. I see you shining through, living your dreams. Good for you! DO what you love, always.

Katerina - you nailed it!  I have really enjoyed getting to know you as well. I feel like I have known you forever even though we have never met in person, I feel like we have, it's very odd how that works isn't it?
Working for AR has been and experience and blessing that can never really be put into words. I love it here and I really am blessed by the benefits and rewards I get by doing this job. Did I say Job? Isn't that one of those 8-5 things? haha, this is no job, it's an adventure!! One I wouldn't trade for anything :-))

Duane, thanks for helping me CMA..  :-))

WOW Brad!  Great Super MeMe!  I absoloutely LOVE Van Halen, Van Gogh is in my Super MeMe (that is in the works), I met Elvis when I was VERY young and my job now is ALWAYS stimulating--with no transaction EVER being the same as another!!

Debe - Looks like we have a few things in common! OMG! You got to meet Elvis? WOW! That's too awesome!!!! Must have been incredible.  

Coming from the title and escrow world, I'll tell you, I couldn't agree more that no 2 transactions are ever the same!  I could tell you some stories.  :-O

Jason - if you don't mess with me, my feelings will be hurt.  I'm not a violent guy, I just float like a butterfly, and my name starts with a "B"!  lol~   So bring it on my friend...  Thanks Jason.

Now I'm off to read YOUR meme, I know you got tagged, but did you step up for the challenge?  :-)

That's a cool photo of you doin the riffs...I tried to play also...i was more the lead singer. I lost those hgh notes back in high school. I wanted to be a pro ball player too...I stil did in my late 20's but had to settle for the bar league:) Too many injuries and too many beers!

Neal - I didn't know you were a singer and in the bar leagues... I was just a singer in the bar! Seems odd we never bumped into each other..  lol~ :-)

Honestly Brad, you are so cool. FYI, "I" actually met Elvis and spent an afternoon/evening at his home in Bel Air - along with about 50 other women. ;-) He came over and sat by me, and we visited. He was such a gentleman and very sweet. I LOVE Kinkaid....and in fact have the lithograph, "Clocktower Cottage" hanging over my piano. I've yet to write one of these (after several invites) and may not get around to it, but am enjoying reading about you and the others. ;-)

Hi Teri - you met Elvis too? Man, I wish I could have been there. I hope you'll take the time to do your meme, myself and others here would love to read it.  I bet you have some very fascinating favorites and cool trivia to share.  So many of us here have so much in common. I'd rather read these meme's then write them, so I understand, now go write yours ok?  :-))

Mara - thanks, today will be a great Father's Day. My wife and kids have plans for the entire day, and I haven't a clue what they are.  It's always a surprise around our house on these special days.  Back tomorrow...hope your day is filled with fun and love too.  :-))

Joshua and Kathy - if it sounds like that, it's a good thing, cause it's very true.  I'd like to think my taste in music is good, and I most certainly love this job. Thanks for checkin out the meme, so are you going to do one now? Have you been tagged yet? :-)))

Duane - I just knew it, I thought we were related somehow... haha!  :-)

Lanre - I did. I even have a guitar from him.  I have given it to my oldest son so he can keep handing down in the family.  It's a beautiful Ibanez, let me go see if I can find a photo...be right back...  (like you're going to have to wait or something...hahaha!)

Ok..I'm back, did you have to wait long? ROFL!! It the one on the far right....

So who have you tagged lately? There's plenty of members out there we all want to know more about, so start invititing and tagging. :-)

Jeff - the honor is all mine, thank YOU!  I was talking to Howard Stein today and your name came up. You have made a huge impact on so many, both inside and outside the "rain."  You're the REAL DEAL my friend!

Chuck - that is too Awesome!  I'd love to hear the 3 sentences about his horse..  How old were you?  That's a priceless memory my friend, thanks for sharing. I really would like to hear more about his horse.  :-)

Hey Jer, it's an ARIA PRO II, I have had that bass for over 20 years now, I use it on all my home studio recordings. Great tone and easy on the fingers!  :-)
