Leon over at My Thoughts on Stuff tagged me a few weeks back for a meme and at long last, I'm ready to deliver on it.Now memes are not my favorite things in the world but since it's Leon, I'll make an exception. And Leon, if I'm ever in Jamaica, you owe me a nice cold Red Stripe.
The rules are as follows:
* Link the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules in your blog.
* Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
* Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
* Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.
And with that we begin with the quirks:
1. I will not wear shirts with corporate logos on them. This includes things "fashionable" like DKNY, Calvin Kline or Nike to "corporate wear" which displays the logo of the company I work for or a company they are affiliated with. The exception for "corporate wear" is if I'm at a company function and have to. For the "fashionable" goods, let me just say this, if you have a shirt that says CK or DKNY or Armani and so on, then you you're not dressing hip, your just a billboard. Also, the really nice cloths made by these companies DON'T have the logos on the chest. They're nowhere to be found on the outside actually. My theory is they (fashion companies) depend on the poor to advertise with the logo shirts, which reminds the rich that they have to go shopping at Saks 5th Avenue for their fall fashions.
2. While I consider myself an easy going guy I become very cranky and abrupt if I get hungry. This is not good because I don't discriminate. I've managed to control this better by only giving one word answers and I've managed to warm my temperature from cold to lukewarm. This makes me seem more distracted than mad. But I'm actually mad.
3. Without exception, I must have a bowl of grapes and strawberries post workout. There's nothing better than coming out of the shower, crashing on my couch and feasting on natures goodness. The grapes MUST be seedless. If not, I'll be annoyed big time.
4. It must be a nice 72 degrees in my apartment in order to sleep in the summer. I will NOT lay in bed sweating. It's a disgusting feeling and if I'm going to sweat in bed it better be due to sex. If not, the A/C goes on in the summer.5. I prefer my Guinness be served at cellar temperature as opposed to ice cold. While I enjoy other beers ice cold, Guinness is it's most flavorful at cellar temperature. This is how it's done in Europe and I understand why after I had it in a very authentic Irish bar here. At first I thought I was being ripped off by being served warm beer until the upstanding Irish man behind the bar told me that this is the way it ought to be. Skeptical, I drank further and realized he spoke the truth. Bless those Irish!
6.Do not ask me to go camping!!! The answer is NO! Even if you're a beautiful woman who promises to go skinny dipping with me, the answer is.....maybe.....NO! I do not find being eaten alive by mosquitoes and pooping in the woods to be enjoyable at all. I don't find laying on the ground in a sleeping bag to be fun at all. I have no desire to pitch a tent which may be destroyed by a grizzly bear. And while I'd never want to kill an animal, I want a large powerful assault rifle to take out any bear that comes too close. Have you seen the size of those things!?!?! No way people!! No way!! Flinging myself out in the middle of nowhere, without electricity, cell phone service, access to clean toilets and showers is NOT a getaway for me, it's HELL!!
I now tag Monique, Maritza, Meleah, Ms.Q, Jill and SJ. Enjoy.
Coming up next.....
