33 without the 3rd
Self Portrait with George Harrison - 22 January 2009
While waiting for my Lix and Kix IV photos to upload (which is taking way longer than expected), I decided to multi-task by responding to one of my many "tags" on Facebook. This tag by a fellow poet asked me and several other folks to answer the following 33 questions. I'm copying my responses here in the interest of having a quick and easy blog. Feel free to share your own answers on the comments if you're so inclined. Or if you prefer, ridicule mine.
1. What is your occupation right now?
Guitar
2. What color are your socks right now?
Brown
3. What are you listening to right now?
The music in my head - the song I was writing before I took a break to answer these questions
4. What was the last thing you ate?
Cherry pie from Mom's house
5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Yes!

I haven't really watched TV sports in years - but if I had to pick something to watch right now, it would probably be Cavaliers basketball. I'm excited by the prospect of a Cleveland championship.
10. What is your favorite drink?
Cherry Nehi - I wish they still made it.

Yes - I tried Just for Men once in 2004, thought I looked ridiculous.

Can't remember - some "classic" we got from the Westlake Library for the grandkids

Today
15. How do you vent anger?
Write, play piano and - if all else fails - yell!

About a month ago.
24. What is in the bottom of your closet?
Depends on the closet. In my bedroom closet, most of my shoes....
25. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to?
Since I'm double posting this on my blog, and she subscribes to my blog via e-mail, I'd have to say Mom.

Grape hyacinth.

I thought your occupation was blisters, but maybe I was mistaken...
I think you answered this quiz instead of some of the others because you could post lamer answers.. you are not off the hook yet Mr. B... just saying... I think you need to do a better list.

This is all you get for today - I'm distracted by my new guitar and teaching myself to play! But I did add two d.a.levy works and a Dianne Borsenik ("Following Jesus") video to the Online Library. Taught myself to play a few Johnny Cash songs, too - gonna make my debut at Lix and Kix as Johnny Cashstrapped.
"Hyacinth House" is one of my favorite Doors songs. Hyacinths remind me of mom's gardens, too. Must be a mom kinda day.....

Ah.. but hyacinth's and grape hyacinths are different.. so you need to be more specific...
They also smell very different.
And I'm glad to not have been tagged.. thanks.

Um, perhaps you didn't notice, but you were tagged on Facebook when I first posted this.
Reply to this
Nope... didn't see it...

Actually the only one to tag me so far is Jen..

Ah, well, I typed in Chris and it tagged a different Chris. Not sure why that happened.... I didn't mean to tag Chris Lawrence.

Doesn't matter I'm not important .. so don't need tagging.

I found about 100 Elenas on Facebook. Maybe I should change my name. I have used Hell Anne. That fits, doesn't it?
Reply to this
We're all important, and we're all unimportant - just depends on how we look at it.

Forgot to say.. I want that album... I didn't know you had any real vinyl... I want to see it next time I'm there.

Ah, yes - I keep the good stuff hidden.

33 1/3 is a good album with a good band. Gary Wright ("Dream Weaver") played keyboards, Billy Preston played piano/organ, Tom Scott played saxophone/flute/lyricon.... George even covered a ole Porter song, "True Love," on it. Not as good as All Things Must Pass, but what is? The record's in very good condition, too.

I agree with Chris here...lame indeed...we expect more from such a talented and creative person! Do love grape hyacinth though!
Reply to this
They weren't my questions!
But my new song about Facebook friend deletion will be well worth enduring this paltry blog... at least it amuses me.

Do you collect LP albums? We have hundreds of them here. Many old Beatles, Doors etc.
Reply to this
I could make up a hundred more interesting questions for you to answer.
LMAO
Reply to this
I used to collect 'em. Gave hundreds away for a public library book sale when I came home from prison, but couldn't part with the ones dearest to my heart or potentially most valuable....
Reply to this
i've never accepted a tag because the questions never spark my imagination.
Reply to this
These didn't really spark mine - but that made it easier for me to answer them quickly and churn out a free blog

Some of my friends call me Hell for short.
