Giving The Finger

I have always wanted to go home with you. That will not happen now.

Giving The Finger

You Are the Index Finger

You are ambitious, driven, and capable.
You aren't afraid to take responsibility for your actions - or place the blame on whoever deserves it.
You are honest, free thinking, and objective. You see things in your own way - and you aren't afraid to let everyone know about it.

You get along well with: The Thumb

Stay away from: The Ring Finger


I always figured I was the middle finger.

Meme for Whowho

She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen

Meme for Whowho
Karrie Lyne tagged me for the 8 Things You May Not Know About Me list. Is this what it feels like when the cow gets the number attached to the ear?

This isnt anything new to anyone who really knows me. I am pretty much an open book.

1) I suffer from road rage. Well, not necessarily suffer. More like inflict it.

2) After every MS150 bicycle ride, I reward myself with something that I had always wanted to do. The first 2 were tattoos and the last one was an ear piercing.

3) My first tattoo is the Japanese Kanji for "Hero." The second is a dragon that surrounds the first. They look like they are one large tattoo.

4) At age 17, I went to party and had an extremely large amount of alcohol that night. When I woke up in my bed the next morning, I had no idea how I had gotten there. Afterwards, I didnt touch alcohol for over 10 years.

5) I used to compete in martial arts fighting. I think I would like to compete again.

6) I am an avid movie watcher, especially for Hong Kong martial art and action films.

7) I tend to be a workaholic.

8) Someone once told me that I prefer living in pain. I think they were correct in that assessment.

I wont tag anyone with this. I'm actually of the few folks that havent done this before.

Watch Here

Jeff: They're onto us! They know exactly where we are!
Steve: Jeff, she's my girlfriend. She already knows where I live.
Jeff: Ex-girlfriend.
Steve: Which part of your brain thought that was a good thing to say?!

I cant embed Avril Lavigne's video for When You're Gone, but its definately worth the viewing.

I found the segment of the widower touching. Guess I'm just a sentimental old sod.

Never Mess With The Guy With The Mic

Ree: That would mean no hiking, camping, fishing, sailing, or sex.
Me: I can hear it now. "Medic! Man down! Get him up! Get him up!"
