Things to Do Before I Die #4: Pound Some Sand

Jan 29, 2006 Blog General

(Hey John, go pound sand.)

So all along when I thought the term tag was something web 2.0 ‘ish, I get smacked in the forehead with a good old game of blogger tag. And since I haven’t blogged since December, I feel oddly compelled to play along. Funny thing is, I just read Kottke’s a few days ago and was hoping it wouldn’t come to me. Feel sorry for the folks below who have to do this.

So enjoy, this piece of my life, hope it keeps you checking my site that one time a month for even more juicy content. But first, here’s some amazon loaded stuff:

Four jobs that I’ve had
…Loading Dock Boy

…Commissioned Computer Salesman (back when they used to earn more for selling a computer than most guys earned selling a used car)
…I was a “Not a Spammer“…Twice!
…Internet Marketer

Four movies I can watch over and over
…Baraka

…Donnie Darko (or as my friends and I call it: Danny Dorko)
…Freeks And Geeks (any one run season TV series counts as a movie to me)
…Plasmaquarium Aquarium

Four places I have lived
…Layton, UT

…Port Orchard, WA (Man I miss that place)
…Golden, CO (another very cool place)
…Olathe, KS
and now living in henderson, nv, which by the looks of Google Maps, appears to be on the edge of the world.

Four TV shows I like to watch
…Lost (huh? Has amazon always keyword-loaded their title tags?)
…24
…Arrested Development
…Grey’s Anatomy (Hey, don’t think I’m a wuss or anything. The show is good, and Ellen Pompeo is hot!)

Four acclaimed TV shows I hear about all the time but have never watched a single minute of (adopted this section from Kottke):
…The Sopranos
…Two and a Half Men
…Invasion
…Battlestar Galactica

Four foods that I like
…Enchiladas

…Salads lately, but not really healthy ones.
…Plain ol’ Potatoes and Gravy
…Any burger that is so sloppy that you probably should use a fork and knife, but you eat it with your hands anyway. Especially good when you have so many dressings that the burger slides out of the bun and you have to check to see that no one was watching, then grab burger with your hands, try to squeeze it back into the bun all while its slip-slidin all over the place. Quite a fun game to play. It’s like…the burger doesn’t want to be eaten or something.

Four websites I visit daily
…digg
…puregenio.us (its like digg but less elitist)

…portagame
…scriptlance.com (seriously)

Four things I want to do before I die
…Get Published (on paper)
…Remove all the spam from my sites (and take the time necessary to setup anti-spam measures)
…Create a hit web 2.0 website

…Learn Spanish and Japanese

Four things I should be doing instead of this list:
…Learning AJAX
…Writing for my other sites
…Sleeping
…Sudoku

Four Five people I’m tagging:

…pappy
…chad r (and/or his band)
…lunacy8m
…chad w
…these guys seem cool

Finally! Can I go to bed now?
