keep getting stuck here all the time
i will oblige the honorable daniel smyth's tag and respond with random things about myself:
- i have crazy dreams almost every night, david-lynch-style creepy, and most of them are about being late to something or not knowing something i'm supposed to know, and the dire consequences of those failures
- two of renee's favorite things to eat - jellied cranberries and cottage cheese - are two of maybe four things in the world i won't eat
- the other two are liver, and... i can't remember the other one
- i've watched wayne's world more times than any other film, even a new hope or lebowski or big trouble in little china
- i've read gibson's count zero more times than any other book... close seconds are H2G2 and blue like jazz
and... here's the big one... are you ready? ARE YOU READY?
- i used to watch saved by the bell. religiously. there. you now know my biggest secret. so why have i derided its fans for years? kept my mouth shut during SBTB trivia, when i knew every answer? walked away from every "whoa bayside"? because i am ashamed of my SBTB-watching past. years after i'd seen every episode and turned my attention to other things (this was probably during my senior year), i caught a few minutes of a stray showing on TBS or something - and saw it for what it really was - meaningless drivel. i was so disgusted by my past love for it that i swore to eliminate it from my memory. i'd never intentionally watch it/discuss it/avow any knowledge of it again.
it's your turn: artie (to whom this revelation will likely strike the hardest blow); b (mister "i'm blogging again", yeah); the braggalicious treat (the reason that wayne's world number is so high); duebber (who is a good sport about these types of random lists); darren (whose answers will be a thousand times more interesting than mine); and brain, (who is quickly running out of posts before he quits). six random things. now.
so this whole post isn't self-aggrandizing - a few other notes - one, purple's producer brendan o'brien is making the next AC/DC album, hot! and also - there is a snippet of the new weezer track pork and beans up on amazon, delicious.
Why would you be ashamed of watching The Kelly Kapowski Show.
This is the biggest news of 2008. And yet, I think, deep down I knew this was true. Kinda like that pastor who got outed by the male prostitute that he smoked crack with, you're always most against your secret sin. Congrats Justin, it took a crazy amount of bravery to admit that.
Hmmm, I can't think of too much random stuff about me that I'm okay with being on the Interweb. Ummm.
1 - I REALLY like to prepend things with the word "the" like "just search the Google". I stole it from somewhere (Merlin Mann maybe). I think it's really funny. No one else ever seems to think so.
2 - I still think Greg Proops (sp?) is really funny.
3 -I got out of Freshman English by an AP test where I wrote about 1984. After I turned it in, I realized I had never read the book and don't think I ever finished the movie. My answer was almost 100% informed by stuff I just kinda picked up from it.
4 - Up until Sunday, I only owned one pair of jeans and I wore them at least 4 days a week. And I'm a grownup. How ridiculous is that?
I am actually not ashamed to admit full strength that Saved by the Bell was never a show I could watch an entire episode without wanting to bang my head against the steel garage door.
anyway, here goes...
- I sometimes have morbid thoughts about dying in some spectacularly boring cliche, except I am the only one who dies (train derails and i'm the poor sap on the turnbuckle that gives, airplane depressurizes quickly and my fat head is plug, a runaway bread truck careens into my crosswalk-for example)
- I daydream about selling everything I own and moving to a South American country and living job to job on my travels through the continent
- I occasionally think about skipping town, changing my name, and creating a new identity for myself just to see how far I could really go before being caught
- I believe I could answer that call if anyone asked, "excuse me, but does anyone know how to fly an airplane?" and then really land it
- I want to write a book, but I don't know what to write about so I never start...
These aren't very interesting but here are a random six:
- I used to believe the eyes of pictures in magazines and newspapers could watch me. I believed this until I was about 7 years old. Because of this insanity I would cover my legs with a towel when I went to the restroom. My Mom was also ticked off at me because it tripled the laundry. I was/am kind of a clean freak. So I only used clean towels and even though they were clean, I would put them in the laundry when I was done. I can hear everyone take a deep breath right now and say "Wow! What a Wack job!"
- I love chocolate so much that I would rather be fat than give it up for even one day.
- I love Iced Tea and Roller Coasters so much that if I could travel the world and just ride roller coasters and try different types of Iced Tea I would do it in a heart beat.
- "Boy Meets World" became one of my favorite shows at age 24. I watched it religiously every night for almost a year on The Disney Channel.
- Harry Potter was the book that got me fired up about reading again at age 22. I actually credit J.K. with getting me excited about reading my Bible again and getting me through college.
- I hate watching sports from my past like baseball and basketball because I hated who I was back then. I hated myself so much that I can't watch these sports without drudging up painful memories. I didn't even pick up a softball bat until nearly 10 years had past from my last baseball game. Now I play manly, yet less "popular," sports such as Bowling, Volleyball, Tennis, and Darts.
Justin, you gave Amanda and I Saved By The Bell Season One for our wedding. After reading your post I guess I should be offended...
-Dunn
Justin I only have this to say....
Well, I wake up in the morning,
And the 'larm gives out a warning,
And I don't think I'll ever make it on time.
By the time I grab my books,
And I give myself a look,
I'm at the corner, just in time to see the bus fly by.
It's all right, 'cos I'm Saved by the Bell.
If the teacher pops a test,
I know I'm in a mess,
And my dog ate all my homework last night.
Riding low in my chair,
She won't know that I'm there,
If I can hand it in tomorrow it'll be all right.
It's all right, 'cos I'm Saved by the Bell
Yes i went there :o)
You went there? To Bayside? Do you know Screech?
No I didn't...but i heard Justins mom did :o)
