The Devil Alphabetically ....

I stole this from Brooke. It's a great idea and I was completely out of anything original to write. Hopefully some people who read my blathering will do this on their blogs!

[A is for age:]
35. Yikes; this is a touchy subject. 35 and still not married? YIKES!!

[B is for booze of choice]
So many to chose from: Newcastle, Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, Leinenkugel Berry Weiss, Stoli Vanilla vodka, Old Charter Proprietor's Reserve (smoothest whiskey/bourbon I've ever had; smooth as silk), Corona

[C is for career]
Wow, this getting even worse as I go along; right now, still looking. But otherwise some type of legal whore.

[D is for your dog's name:]
Well, no dog since I'm living this sort of Bohemian lifestyle. My last dog was given to me but he had the coolest name ever for a Rat Terrier, Rooster. I'd like to get another dog and name him either Toots (as in Toots and the Maytals) or Marley (no explanation needed for that one).

[E is for essential items you use everyday:]
Electric toothbrush, my cell phone, Diet Coke w/Lime, Neutrogena facial bar, MP3 player, ball caps (I've got about 20 I rotate) .....

"Lay Down" - O.A.R.

To quote Vince Vaughn from The Wedding Crashers, everyone's favorite dating game "Just the tip"

I'm trying to learn the guitar (Both acoustic and electric)

[K is for kids?]
None yet; hopefully a couple of dorky kids with a predilection for offbeat music, foreign movies, and art would be great

[L is for last kiss?:]
Uh ... no such thing since I may be getting older; but I guess for now it would have to ML

Easy going attitude; I just go with things and take them as they come

[O is for overnight hospital stays:]
None so far (knocking on wood as I say this ... no, not that wood)

[P is for phobias:]
Conservative right-wing Christian phobia (I'm pretty much waiting for the Republican Party to start burning a cross in my front yard and begin deportation proceedings for anyone who doesn't agree with them)
