6 things

uh-oh, I’ve been tagged with a blog meme. If it was anyone but Syd, I probably wouldn’t play, but instead of being a blog grinch, here goes:

I have a soft spot for pop/dance music. Like “Toxic”, by Brittney Spears. Great song.

When I was a kid, I wanted more than ANYTHING to play football for the University of Nebraska, but then i found skateboarding and punk rock.

After 15 years of being a vegetarian in Nebraska, I moved to San Francisco and Started eating meat.

I don’t do fiction. If I read, it has to be real stories. I highly recommend Woody Guthrie: A Life

Roads not taken: Teacher. Chef/Restauranteur.

When I was 19 I went to Peru. I saw the Southern Cross, verified that the toilets swirl counter-clockwise when flushed, and was pee’d on by little monkeys sitting in a tree in the Amazon.

  1. very interesting, bernie. i have to say i only knew about the meat eating thing. :) Now I have to do something I hadn’t planned and go give Britteny a listen. Weird.

  2. let me just clarify that because I have a soft spot for something doesn’t mean it’s any good! :)

  3. Done and done.

    If I should find myself in Peru, I will try to ensure that I am the one peeing on the monkeys, instead of the reverse.
