Six Unspectacular Things About Me

Hey look! I got tagged for a meme! I’m totally one of the cool kids now. Onedadlife and Underthearch tagged me for the “Six Unspectacular Things About Me” meme. I’m a little hurt by the assertion that anything about me is unspectacular, but whatever, I’ll get over it. Let’s begin.

1. My Addiction

Every morning, I go to my neighborhood Starbucks and get a grande coffee. I’d order something fancier like a pumpkin spice latte, but there are a lot of calories in those things, and I try not to drink my calories. I’m a little freaked out by the way the Starbucks employees remember my name and order, but I guess they are trained to do that. Also, the manager of this Starbucks is hot. She’s this cute blond and she wears this black belt with those metal pyramid shaped stud things. It says, “I’m a nice girl, but I have a wild side”. That’s hot. I hope she doesn’t find this blog, that would be embarrassing.

2. My Car

I’m not really a car guy. To me a car is a practical necessity and nothing else. I love my car though. It’s a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe. Woah! The excitement is blowing you away isn’t it? Hey, it’s reliable, gets decent mileage, and I have it set up so that I can listen to my iPod through the stereo system and control it with the steering wheel controls. This makes me happy.

3. My Cat

I’m a cat person. I always have been. I like dogs, but cats are better. They are sleek and somewhat mysterious. Dog’s are easy, they love you no matter what you do. Cat’s are more complicated, they require a little seduction. Also, pound for pound, a cat could kick a dog’s ass any day. My cat’s name is Earl. You might be wondering why he is wearing a scarf and standing next to a purse. He has some gender identity issues, he’s my cat though, and I love him no matter who he is.

4. My Church

This is hard for me to admit, but I’ve gone to church nearly every Sunday since February. Please don’t think that I’m religious, I’m not. Spiritual?, maybe. Here’s my thing. I don’t believe that any religion is the literal truth or that any religion is completely right or wrong. That being said, I also don’t believe that life is just energy and matter interacting, and I believe that there is a deeper level of reality beyond what we can observe. I like my church a lot. It is a United Methodist church in the city with a fairly traditional worship, but the music is better and there is communion with real wine. They don’t require you to believe anything, and it is an open and affirming church (that means gay people are welcome). If you want, you can find out more here.

5. My Underwear

I wear boxer briefs. I think that all guys should. I wore tighty whities for an embarrassingly long time. They are gross and should be outlawed. Boxers provide way too much freedom though. I like things to be a little more secure down there.

6. My Fraternity

I was in a fraternity in college. This is my fraternity at our final blackball meeting during my senior year of college (Spring 1999). To this day, I can’t believe that I was in a fraternity. I’m so not the frat boy type. That being said, it was the time of my life. I love these guys and I would do anything for them. Next weekend, I’ll be back at my college for homecoming and my fraternities 125th anniversary. A lot of guys will be back. It should be a blast. I’ll probably blog about it.

Okay, there you have it. All six unspectacular things about me. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t 7 unspectacular things, because I don’t think I have 7. I’m supposed to tag other people now or something, but I’m not in the mood, and I’m not sure that there is anybody left who reads this blog and hasn’t already been tagged. If you haven’t done this meme yet, do it, do it now. Also, leave a comment so that I know to go read it.
