Six Random Things

I don't do memes. I find them annoying and uninteresting for the most part, both for me and my readers.

But because SFDB is all about supporting the SoFla blogging community, I will acquiesce this once to an Incertus "tag" [ugh] and list six random things about myself.

What I won't do is "tag" anyone else and put them through this misery. Bear with me.

1. I'm an Army brat. Moved around every 3 years growing up and lived overseas for 1 "tour," as the Army calls it. My family also did a tour in Hawaii.

2. I eat pasta for dinner virtually every night of the week. It's a habit that I've found hard to break since my running days.

3. It's a tradition for me to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation every Thanksgiving.

4. My beer of choice is Yuengling.

5. I've run 2 marathons (Pittsburgh '00, Disney '02).

6. Favorite fast food: Pollo Tropical Tropichop Max [white rice, black beans and chicken] with 2 curry/mustard sauces. To go.

Thank God that's over with.

Sorry about that, Rick. I'll never do it again. And as far as macro beets are concerned, I'm a Yuengling fan as well--probably helps that it's brewed in Tampa, so it's fresh.

Yuengling! Yum. Although to this day, my husband thinks it's a Chinese beer.

Yuengling. Pottsville for beer.

Rick said...

Actually, they have breweries in Tampa and Pottsville. I thought it was strictly eastern PA.

No big deal, Bryan. Just not one of my favs when it comes to blogging.

1. I'm not an army brat but my dad was a navy veteran who wanted nothing more than for me to enroll in Annapolis and become a US Marine officer.

I thought the idea was swell until I turned 12 years old and became immersed in 1960s counter culture literature.

I never looked back.

2. I've never been a runner but I also eat pasta almost every night (if not pizza or hamburgers) because I just love pasta. I think I was Italian in a previous life.

3. It's a tradition for me to watch the football game on Thanksgiving, no matter where I'm at, but as a Raider fan, I always wish it could be them playing instead of the Lions or the Cowboys.

4. I'm a Heineken man all the way.

5. No marathons for me but I did compete in a photomaraton.

6. I also like Pollo Tropical but not as much as I like Pollo Loco, which is the Mexican version out west. I used to eat there at least three times a week.

I'm not a big fan of memes though.

I don't think doing a meme, if meme is revealing a little about yourself to people who read your stuff everyday, should be such an issue and such a pain. Many people actually enjoy learning things about those with whom they share daily opinions.
