Under the weather (or bus)

I'm into the third day of some sort of cold/flu that my beloved Only Child has decided to pass onto me. The joy of being the part of the working-class poor, is that I still must continue to drag my ass to work for fear of not making it from one paycheck to the next.

I was tagged by a friend on Facebook to list 25 random things about myself. I do not usually play internet tag, unless the subject piques my interest. So here is the list.


1. I graduated in the top 10 percent of my high school class.

2. And, yet, never finished college.

3. I love comic books and cartoons.

4. I still bite my finger nails.

5. I'm a dog person that occasionally wishes he had a cat.

6. I could not be prouder of the person my child is becoming.

7. Some of my favorite books are This Boy's Life, Ghost Story, Snow in August, Prince of Tides , Good Omens, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix and A Game of Thrones. This is the list today; tomorrow's might be different.

15. Ninjas will kick pirate-ass every time.

17. Others find me amusing.

18. I could eat my weight in tacos...if only I could afford that many.

19. I like toys! Action figures rock!

20. As you can tell from this list, I am do not act my age...46. Maybe 4+6.

21. I believe that religion is fine but organized religion is horrible; where individuals become mobs.

22. I love the internet.

24. I could use a new job.
