Just Thinkin’

Grandad tagged me with this meme several days ago and since my answers really didn’t fall into the holiday spirit of things, I waited until now to tackle it. This plus the fact it just plain took three days to finish it. I don’t know why it took so long but sometimes it’s best not to question these kind of anomolies. So without further ado I present to you THE GREAT CRAZY EIGHT MEME.

8 THINGS I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT

1 - Honesty, common sense on how to use both at the same time.

2 - My home and privacy thereof.

3 - My most wonderful lady.

4 - Friendship

5 - Freedom and the right to shoot anyone who tries to take it away.

6 - Drunk/drugged out drivers who should be shot on sight but aren’t.

7 - Child abusers (both male and female) who should eviscerated on sight and then shot but aren’t.

8 - More.

8 THINGS I SAY OFTEN

8 SONGS I CAN LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN

I was a sound engineer at one time and a good one at that. I have forgotten more music than I’ve ever learned which was more than I can remember. I was also a Cold War submariner. My hearing was damaged during that time in the service and the damage was self progressive. Now I’m legally deaf and no longer able to enjoy listening to music. For this reason, I abstain from answering this question.

8 THINGS THAT ATTRACT ME TO MY FRIENDS (some of these are Grandad’s answers. Some I would have put down myself and indicate so).

1 - Honesty (Yup)

2 - Humor (Yup)

3 - The ability to forget themselves (Yup again)

4 - Untidiness [tidy people scare me and minimalists freak me out altogether]. (Note: Unbelievable slobs are right out though.)

5 - The ability to laugh at themselves

6 - Posses the ability of holding a decent conversation for more than a few seconds without having a seizure.

7 - Hypocrisy not allowed unless they’re prepared to be called on it.

8 - Animal lovers (absolutely)

8 THINGS I LEARNED IN THE LAST YEAR

1. Things never, ever stay the same.

2. My lady contradicts the above statement bless her wonderful heart.

3. I’m really not indestructible.

4. That love means sticking together through the bad times.

5. The best used vehicle that you can buy in the USA is an old Jeep Cherokee.

6. That I can’t properly water the plants no matter how hard I try.

7. I really enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogies (I always did like swashbucklers).

8. That I’m overjoyed at the fact this is the last question of this meme.

8 FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO GET TAGGED WITH THIS MEME.

Well, I’ll tell you. I’m not going to tag anyone with this meme. I’m lousy at this part of it which is something else I learned in the last year so you can add that to the list too. Instead, I’ll be a complete fuddy-duddy and just invite anyone who happens to stop by and wants to give this a try to please do so and leave a link to your attempt in a comment. If I get enough, I’ll post a list just for the fun of it.
