So there I was minding my own business when suddenly there was a drive-by tagging and I got tagged... Suspect is believed to be Marilyn J. Girling of Art Bliss. She is to be considered armed and dangerous... Okay.. maybe not but she does tag people when shes not creating some pretty amazing art.
Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post.
4. Create 3 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them that you have tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about ‘you are tagged if you are reading this.’ blah blah blah, you legitimately have to tag 3 people!
Ok so here it is I guess, 11 Random things about me
1. I've been in law enforcement my whole life...until recently. Almost four years ago I retired at a relatively young age from being a cop. Now I look to travel different roads, like working on our yard haunt.
2. I love to watch feature length cartoons at the movies. Mostly Pixar and Dreamworks cartoons are my favorites and I'm pretty sure I've seen every Disney Cartoon ever made. Even as a grown adult its not uncommon to see me sitting alone in the theater, enjoying a good dose of cartoon non-reality.
3. Speaking of movies, I'm somewhat of an addict. Not DVD's and TV movies but watching movies on the big screen in a theater is one of my favorite past times. Oh, and I have to be there early enough to see the coming attractions, If I miss the coming attractions it doesn't matter if I saw the movie, we were late.
4. People that are good at what they do intrigue me. Musicians, artists, career people, doesn't matter, I admire them for their passion and in some cases their obsession for what they do, and the focus of so much energy on it. I myself have to work very hard to keep focused on a single task and I procrastinate something terrible.
5. I enjoy guitar. Alone in my studio I am a guitar virtuoso, playing rock, blues, classical, slow or at blinding fast speeds and never missing a note.
Outside my studio or when someone else is listening... not so much.
6. I like to travel, especially abroad because things are so much older everywhere than in U.S. Although I've seen a lot of U.S. too.
7. One of my most fun discoveries recently. If you don't know what this is, read "The Davinci Code" or watch the movie. Oh and they are not that easy to find in real life. Damn that Tom Hanks, following them across Paris in the dark without even a flashlight, yeah right!
8. One of my most surreal life experiences was visiting the Louvre at night in Paris.
9. I like to explore old cemeteries, old buildings, old anything pretty much. I hope one of our next travels back to Europe include the Catacombs of Paris and Highgate Cemetery in London.
10. I don't believe in Ghosts. Isn't that sad....
11. I like to do wood working and my goal for the last few years has been to get really good at unique furniture. I am currently working on a piece that I hope people with a passion for Halloween will enjoy. It has occupied most of my spare time since the New Year and I am pretty excited about finishing it and showing it.
Now for Marilyn's Questions:
1. What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?
Hmmm.... I did a lot that should have got me in trouble but I can't remember really getting into trouble. Maybe I've blocked them from my memory!
2. What sound do you love?
If you live in the North where the snow falls heavy at times you will know this sound, otherwise you probably won't. - Late at night, after a fresh snow, with no wind, or man made noise, usually in a quiet rural area. The heavy snow absorbs all noises. I like that sound of absolute quiet and stillness those conditions cause. Oh and that squeaky crunching noise snow makes under your feet in the silence. I hate the cold but I love that sound of silence.
3. If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?
Wow, I can think of many but I'm going to say... the birth of Christ. I think that would answer so many questions.
I finished!!! Thanks for reading. Who thinks this stuff up anyways???
My 3 Questions are:
What is your greatest passion?
What is the single thing you love most about Halloween or the Fall?
Of all the movie monsters, demons etc. what was the one created that caused you to lose the most sleep?
