Four Things

Four Things About Me That You May Or May Not Have Known In No Particular Order.

Four Jobs I Have Had In My Life:
1) Landscaper
2) Receptionist/Administrative Assistant
3) Retail Manager/Visual Merchandiser
4) Technical Editor
**From a technical standpoint, I have also been a music video producer and director, since I got paid for it. Also handled some PR for a band, but they didn't pay me so I can't really count that.....

Four Movies I've Watched More Than Once:
1) The Godfather, Parts I & II (almost all the lines of which can be used in training boys to become men.....); Part III does not count as it sucks and should be disregarded entirely and anyone who says differently needs to have their tongue ripped out.....
2) Gladiator

3) Kill Bill, Volumes I & II
4) Casablanca (play it Sam.....)
**To be fair, I personally regard Godfather, Parts I & II as well as Kill Bill, Volumes I & II as singular films, not 4 separate movies. Hence their inclusion.

Places Where I Have Lived:
1.) Modesto, CA
2.) Turlock, CA

3.) Reno, NV
4.) San Jose, CA

T.V. Shows That I Watch:
1) 24
2) House
3) C.S.I. (the original, which takes place in Las Vegas; the other two suck)
4) Dexter

Four Places I Have Been:
1) Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
2) Maui, Hawaii
3) New York City/Manhattan, New York
4) South Beach, Miami, Florida

People Who Email Me (regularly):
1) Amy
2) Lindsay (but they aren't really emails, per se.....)
3) Facebook
4) My Mom (at least somewhat regularly.....)

Four Of My Favorite Foods:
1) Sushi
2) A very rare steak (Porterhouse, New York, T-Bone...not particular, as long as it is rare enough to leave a ring of blood on my plate.....)
3) BBQ chicken - boneless thighs - drenched in BBQ sauce, with fresh corn-on-the-cob, homemade potato salad, and marinated asparagus spears grilled over an open flame. With an tall, ice-cold lemonade to drink. The perfect summer meal.....
4) Spaghetti - angel hair pasta - with red meat sauce (made to my own personal specifications - ask Amy about my finickiness and the consequences of deviating from my instructions.....) that includes Italian sausage as well as seasoned ground beef with actual meatballs and mushrooms, garlic cheese bread or sticks, and a fresh Caesar or green salad that is highlighted with various additions such as cut cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms. And a bottle of Chianti or a Toscana.

Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now:
1) Back under the covers, sound asleep
2) See section titled "Four Places I Have Been" and take your pick; there is no wrong answer.....
3) On a plane flying to Hawaii
4) Under Carmen Electra.....and/or Megan Fox..... :)

Things I Am looking Forward to Over the Next Year:
1) Watching my son, Devlin, grow and discover, well, everything.....
2) Watching my daughter, Sloan, grow and come into herself more as a young woman graduating middle school and entering high school
3) Taking Amy to Las Vegas for the birthday she deserves
4) Summer

This is a pretty standard little thing that circulates via email, MySpace, Facebook, and the like. Feel free to cut/paste and put your replies in the comments of my blog if you like. I have probably pissed off Lindsay by not emailing this out, but hey, I am trying to get more traffic to my blog, so you can't blame me for being a marketing whore to some degree or another now can you?
