Meme'd in the back..........

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

And your to blame, Simon Conway, real estate and political savant, sometime radio personality, brand new citizen and a pretty interesting guy all around. He is also one not to let a good deed (or any deed for that matter) go unpunished so he tagged me with this Cheaper than Therapy Meme.

Contrary to Simon, this one takes a lot of thought, so, I may fall asleep while I am responding

 

I am....................an enigma to myself

I think........and it keeps me awake at night

I want......for my family to be healthy, safe and happy

I have......a need for adventure

I wish.....that my wife and I had met many years before we did

I hate......racism, okra and bell peppers

I miss......my parents who both died way too young, my kids and grandson who live on the opposite coast, my size 32 pants

I fear.......my grandchildren will not have the same freedoms and opportunities that I had growing up

I feel...that I still have a lot to do

I smell...bacon (or is that just Beggin' Strips)

I search.... for purpose or sometimes another piece of dark chocolate

I wonder....how it would feel going through a transporter

I regret....never going into space, although I have seen two shuttle launches 

I love...my wife, my kids, my grandson, my country

I care...about poverty, hunger, the environment and education

I always...find something positive in almost all situations

I am not...as smart as I was at 18

I believe...that dignity, responsibility and accountability reside in the individual, not the collective.

I dance...not as often or as well as I used to

I sing...karaoke, started at the urging of my daughter and this is the first song I did

I write.... because I am, and usuallyas incoherently as I talk

I win...more than I lose

I lose....when I don't give all my effort, or when I play the lottery

I listen...to music and talk radio. My favorite radio station is Kink, Portland, FM102

I can usually be found...except when I don't want to be

I'm scared of...other drivers

I read...two or more books a week. Current fiction - Odd Hours by Dean Koontz, current non-fiction Liberal Facism by Johan Goldberg

I forget...what day it is, I know when birthdays, anniversarys, deadlines, etc. are. I just don't always realize the when I am in.

I just...like to take trips where the road is the destination, either that or listen to Etta James

 

or Lydia Pense

 

 

 

I am happy about...coming to the last question of this meme.

And, finally, to the following:

Barbara S. Duncan

C Tann Starr

Lincoln Lindsey

 

Tag! Your It!

It appears I can't count to five!

Mystery continues.....on that last youtube, where were you?  Were you the guy in the foreground patting his fanny a lot, the guy in the red shirt, the unseen singer?   I watched the whole thing without skips this morning and need to know.....LOL

Mike ~ Nicely done!  I also read Dean Koontz and sometimes think too much at night, which keeps me up and makes for a bad morning.

Bo - you can add tripe to that list too. Thanks, you also.

Mike,

I think that you had three very good selections in your tags.  So you are ok with broccoli?

Nick - well go give Simon a virtual smack in the back of the head and tell him to send you the questions. Either that, or, like I did, do a cut and paste from his post (or you can use mine).

Mike - I wonder what a transporter would be like, too, but I wouldn't be interested in going into space.  It makes me claustrophobic just thinking about it...  :)

Debi - interesting, all that open space, maybe it's agoraphobic you are thinking of

Simon - if my belly gets any bigger I am going to need all that space

Debi - I get it now. I get island fever when I am in Hawaii too long (of course I haven't been there in about 8 years now.)
