I know this is totally cheating or whatever but I am going to shamelessly recycle this Facebook thing that has been going around like wildfire and turn it into a quality blogpost. I'm all about recycling...
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. (To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I am an IT project manager supporting Tax systems on large corporate ERP systems...but I wish I owned a record store.
2. My biggest musical guilty pleasure is Pink...I cannot make myself change the station when one of her songs comes on.
3. I love to read more than almost anything but I don't spend nearly enough time doing it.
4. For a while, I went to the same church as Jeff Foxworthy and I got to meet him once. He's very down to earth.
5. I am an awful procrastinator
6. I have a blog (http://tbone323.blogspot.com) but because of #5 on my list, it rarely gets updated
7. I am terribly afraid of spiders...like if I was holding a baby and realized a spider was on my I would throw the baby to flick the spider off. Seriously, you probably better not let me hold your baby if you think there might be any spiders around because I will drop that little bundle of joy if my spider sense starts tingling. I'm not proud of this but it's the truth.
8. I used to watch Ghosthunters on TV but I don't anymore because I was getting too creeped out and couldn't sleep at night
9. My favorite TV show is "How I Met Your Mother"
10. My favorite food is Mexican (Pappasito's in Atlanta is the best in the world)
11. I have a Basset hound named Clementine
12. I am married to a wonderful woman and have 3 beautiful kids
13. The best book I have read in the past 10 years is "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy
14. The best concert I have ever been to was Metallica in 2004 at the Kansas Colliseum
15. I have an uncle, an aunt, a brother, a sister, a former brother in law and a father who are either currently or have been police officers
16. My all time favorite movie is "The Shawshank Redemption"
17. I still get homesick even after living in Atlanta for almost 3 years
18. At this point in my life, I have more quality friendships than I have ever had before
19. I play the guitar but I don't put in the time to ever really get as good as I would like to be
20. Other than my admitted fondess for Pink, I am a bit of a music snob and I like the fact that I listen to bands that most people have never heard of.
21. I am pretty handy with a bbq grill
22. My favorite cocktail is a vodka tonic. A close 2nd is the Cape Cod (Vodka and cranberry juice)
23. Over dramatic people annoy me...save the drama for your mama please
24. I'm not sure exactly which religious denomination I fit in with these days. I'm kind of a square peg in that regard.
25. I have 3 tattoos and don't plan to stop anytime soon

Canadian Rock is What it's All Aboot...

My buddy Nate says that Amazon MP3 has a steal of a deal on some classic rock from "America's Hat" (that's Canada for those of you not in the know). Bryan Adams Reckless for $0.99. This deal is only good for today so download it now and spend the rest of the night skipping between Heaven and Summer of '69 while you re-live your high-school or grade school years in a haze of teary eyed nostalgia. Thank me later...

It's a new year...

Hey blog...how's it going? Oh, what you're not talking to me anymore? Just because I haven't posted anything on you since August?? Listen...it's not like we're married. I mean I've been really busy. Work has been crazy and I was out of town for like 3 weeks. To be honest I've been spending a lot of time with Facebook. Don't look at me like that. You're so judgmental. Why would I want to spend time with Facebook? Seriously? You're gonna make me say it? Ok... A) it's way less complicated than you and 2) like everybody I know is on it. If I post something out there...I know that it's going to hit at least 200 eyeballs. I mean, the stuff I used to post on you got like 15 or 20 page views...a month. You didn't know I could track stuff like that did you? It's a little thing called Google Analytics...look it up on Yahoo sometime. Oh I know all sorts of things about you my digital weblog friend. All sorts of things indeed. But that's not what this is about. I didn't come here to pick a fight. I know things have been weird between us and I want that to change. I really sort of miss you. I'd like us to start spending some more time together. Maybe not every day...maybe just a couple of times a week. Is that cool? Let's just take it slow and see what happens. Yes, I'm still going to be spending time with Facebook but you don't need to be threatened by that. I promise I'll do better about posting on you and not neglecting you for months at a time. Ok? I'm really glad we had this talk. I even got you something...a brand new theme. Pretty sharp right? I hope you like it and I'll talk to you again soon.
