8 Things About Stupid

We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.


  • Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

  • People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.

  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and they should read your blog.


Well, I have to pound out another 8 facts about Stupid to comply with this meme from Shash

I thought I would try this in a categorical format, just to try and mix it up a little. I mean I don't want to write just about the kind of sneakers I wear (New Balance). So here goes.


  1. Politically Speaking I am registered as an Independent. And that's boring, so 'nuff said.


  2. Musically My musical taste borders on the bizarre, at least in its variety. I listen to classic Rock, One Hit Wonders, and I have to admit, I'm not too quick to turn off the stuff my kids listen to.


  3. Aesthetically I have no clearly defined "Perfect Woman". Short, tall, thin, curvy, blonde, brunette...no definite quality locks it in. But intelligence is mandatory. Not so much possessing a set amount, but a willingness to express what's going on in the mind. That's not a lie, or a politically-correct statement, it's a fact. I'm not PC about hotness, and to prove it, let me add that a nice pair of boots adds 100ยบ to a woman's hotness.


  4. Pop-Culturally My biggest celebrity crush ever was Meredith Salenger. My favorite TV show at the moment is "Still Standing", a comedy in syndication and currently only available on Lifetime TV. I currently have no favorite song. My favorite movies are: "Apollo 13", "Cinderella Man", "I, Robot (Will Smith Version)", and "Wedding Crashers". At least this week.


  5. Religiously My religion is best kept to myself. I let it guide my life. If I wanted it to guide yours, I'd have become a Priest. I've read the Bible twice, but I don't have it memorized. I'm faithful, I believe in God, and I try to let religion be a major moral guidance. Notice I said "I". There's no "i" in team, but there are two in religion. You have your beliefs, I'll have mine, ok?


  6. Educationally I have a Bachelor's Degree. I was the first one in my family to have accomplished that feat, and I'm a little proud of that. I encourage my kids to soak up every minute of their educations. I'm a major computer geek, an appetite I've developed later in life, but one that I have a passion about, which is funny, since my degree had nothing to do with Computer Science.



  7. Socially I don't date at the moment, a decision partly based on the fact that I am a single dad with 3 kids, and partly on the fact that my body is pretty busted up right now, and pain is a boring topic. I'm also studying for a major licensing exam, and aside from some blog time, that's consuming me right now. I love my friends. My friends let me tell them I love them. They know I do, and they deal with it. I hug. Not uncomfortably, mind you, hugs are for my loved ones and friends, so if I run into you on the street and we're not good friends yet, I'll wait for a signal!



  8. Fault-ly (is that even a word?) I could name 100,000 faults about me. a. I talk too much, and I write too much; I never know when to shut up. b. I'm a "fixer" who always tries to solve people's problems. I mean I just never feel content to say, "yeah that sucks" and leave it at that. But sometimes people don't want you to fix, they just want you to listen...I try. c. I am way too slow to forgive. It takes me forever to get angry at someone, but then it takes forever to let it go once I do. That's not good, but I am working on it. d. Did I mention I talk too much?



I think I need to appoint a Blog Supervisor for my work here. I need someone I can pay 10 cents a word to. That will shorten these entries in a hurry. Any volunteers?

OK, for the next 9 hours I have to study. Great way to spend a Sunday. So don't let me read or write any more till I'm done!

I'll get back to you with my Tag Victims. I have to choose carefully...

    Call me crazy, but I'm getting the distinct impression that you like boots on a woman... JUST GUESSING! ;)

    I think its great that you're a hugger. I love being hugged, even though I am far too shy to ever initiate one. That's why its important we have hug-initiators like you on the planet. :)

  4. I don't date either, but I don't have kids. So what's my excuse? Oh, maybe it's lack of decent men here. ;-)

    Computer skills are always needed. I wish I had more....but I guess all I need to do is bat my eyelashes and get some boy to help.

    What kind of licensing are you studying for?

  8. Kristen- It's a Securities Industry (NASD) exam that I hope will propel me away from trading to a much more boring aspect of the industry. Me old.

    LOL, my reputation as a boot guy precedes me.

  9. Kell, as nice as you are to me, I still get the distinct feeling that when I run into you someday, I'm still gonna get smacked.

    Cass...you know the drill. What's mine is yours. All of it :)

  10. I relate mostly to numbers 2 and 3.
    Great honesty in your answers...seems like a challenging meme, I'd say.
