Backseat Love OR I Should Have Done This a Super Long Time Ago

So Mrs. Twink posted this forever ago and I just never got around to it. Good thing I can say I at least did it in the same year... here goes.

MEME Rules:

1. Put Your iTunes / music player on Shuffle


2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.


3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT


4. After you’ve answered all of the questions, tag 5 other people and then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves!

• IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY? "Welcome to the Fold" - Filter. So I think this may be something that I would say... ummmmm never. So goes the Meme. What's Next???
• WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? "Whisper" - Evanescence. Umm... I don't really think so. Let's be serious, at 6'2" and 200+ I am anything but a Whisper.
• WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL? "A Story About a Girl" - Our Lady Peace. I am pretty sure I also like actual girls as opposed to just stories about them... I guess I should get into romance novels or Penthouse letters or something.
• HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? "Blow it Out" Ludacris. Tha'ts right... I don't want to tell you how i feel... so there!
• WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE? "Hello" - Jazz Poet Society. Clearly, if you need to ask you just don't get it. Or maybe it is all about meeting people. Wow... that is deep.
• WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO? "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" - Poison. While this is true, a little pain can go a long long way.
• WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU? "Candy Girl" - New Edition. Oh Man, I hope not, But I guess you take what you can. It could have been worse.
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS? "Shoot Down the Stars" - Gym Class Heroes. I must be out to get my parents. Okay, that isn't true at all.
  
• WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN? "Hang Me Out to Dry" - Cold War Kids. Well, At least I can be careless in my summer clothes. On a personal note this is one of my favorite in the car and sing along songs.
• WHAT IS 2+2? "The Catfisherman" - Marah. Yes, the Fisherman can do Math, could you please go ask him?
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND? "A Thousand Miles" - Vanessa Carlton. A surprisingly appropriate song.
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE? "Why Do They Rock So Hard?" - Reel Big Fish... it's true, they rock.
• WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?"Barrel of a Gun" - Guster (Y100 Sonic Session Edition). Really, A Barrel of a Gun. Life is hard, but not that hard.
• WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? "Bleed It Out" - Linkin Park (Live Earth Edition) While I don't really want to be bleeding wen I grow up I will dig deeper.
  
• WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE? "One of A Kind" - Breaking Point. Sometimes these Meme my iPod things are a little creepy.
• WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU? "Why Georgia" - John Mayer. Probably Why Baltimore, but close enough.
  
• WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING? "Mr. Brightside" - The Killers. I think I am going to saty away from the adultery songs.
• WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL? "High Road" - Fort Minor. I would be okay with this, so long as I actually do take the high road.
  
• WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST? "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" - Kanye West with Jay-Z. Diamonds may not be my hobby, but being a mogul, I could see that as a nice distraction.
• WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET? "Time + History of the D" - Tenacious D. My secret is that I laugh hysterically at these two funny men.
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?"World Go 'Round" - No Doubt. They already do make my world go 'round, no need to find another way.
  
• WHAT SHOULD YOU POST THIS AS? "Backseat Love" - N.E.R.D. Sure... that makes sense.

Well, Glad I got that in this year. If anyone else has the inkling to do this... well you should. it is fun. If you don't have a blog, put it in the comments.

I got memed

I was tagged by Twinkie for a meme the other day. While I don't really get the whole meme thing, I will play along.

Here are the rules:

Each player starts with 7 random facts or habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write in their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. Remember to leave a comment for them letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog.

Here we go.

1. I guess you would call me a gamer - I have played in tournaments for Chess, a yearly Pichnocle tournament, which I have won 4 times, and yes, I play magic the gathering. I know, I am supper lame.


2. I have a fear of heights - This gets me to a general rule that I do not do activities where my butt has a decent potential to be physically above my head. It just seems unnatural. I do make the exception for Roller Coasters, which I am a huge fan of, but that is about it.


3. I have a propensity for international foods - I am the guy who spends the most time in the international food aisle in the market and will suggest Indian food whenever possible. What can I say, I am a fan.


4. Yes, I also watch wrestling - I mean I mostly use it as background noise while playing my DS, but I enjoy the bumps these guys take. It is a male soap opera, so if you watch General Hospital or Guiding Light, no flack.


5. I am not really sure I should be here - By that I mean I always wonder if I should pick up and move out west. To see if I can hang with the electronic elite and get back in touch with my creative side.


6. Speaking of creative - I used to paint and sing, seriously. I was in drama club in High School, painted in Middle school and High school and sang from elementary school on. I even had a spat with the flute and a trombone, and yes, I know what those references mean. Seriously, I have not really done alot of traditional creating in the past years, but maybe I can get back to that soon.


7. Ok, last one - I am currently working on my fear of small woodland creatures. So at UMBC we have half squirrels half rats... better known as sqrats. They are feisty little devils and well, they are not afraid to take away a napkin you have used from you hand or scare the bejebus out of you by jumping out of an unassuming trash can. lets just say that many have played upon this fear, though since where I am currently has Black Squirrels I have had a much better time with them as opposed to the Sqrats.

Well that is it, that is the list. As for tagging others, I don't really have many people who blog or even read this, but here goes. Matt, Janice, Amanda, Danielle, Elan, Jordan, Dom.... lets see if that works.

Off for the weekend. WHOOO HOOOOO.
