The Meme strikes back
My boy Eponymous has tagged me, so I relent ...
10 Years Ago - On the verge of kicking off my senior year in high school ("Take me home ... Stelling Road ... to the place I belong ... Westside High School ... mountain mama"), preparing to assume the mantle of being newspaper editor for, are you ready, The Westside Story. Typical evenings were spent cruising around in Xon's minivan with Russ, Chris (now Cari), Charles and Bryan. Always good times. Oh, and holy crap, I was dating Jenny Wright. In hindsight, not my best judgement.
5 Years Ago - Only a few months into my first full-time job as prep sports editor at the Athens Banner-Herald, furiously working on the prep football section and adjusting to the learning curve that comes with full-time employment. Living my boy Bryan in the ghetto, but enjoying our full-service bar.
1 Year Ago - Enjoying my third year of marriage to the wife, working as assistant news editor at the Banner-Herald. Nothing much to write home about.
Yesterday - Got up, went to work, handled several interview requests and got the run-down of our new web site here at the museum (kudos to Becky for her hard work, site rocks). Returned home and made my world-famous fried chicken gumbo for a dinner party we were having with some friends, then enjoyed a cold beer with family and friends on a very, refreshing evening.
Today - Got up, went to work, facilitated the use of some images for a newspaper in South Carolina, enjoyed a hearty lunch at the new dining hall on campus with Becky, Carissa (different one from Cari), Tricia, her husband George and their adorable, yet incredibly finicky eater of a son. Looking forward to seeing another proud Banner-Herald alum in Marc who's enjoying a brief break and is in town after diligently covering the Reds.
Tomorrow - Take pictures of Family Day, do some yard work ... and who knows.
5 Snacks I Really Enjoy - Little Debbie Nutty Bars, Munchie's Mix (mixture of Cheetoes, Sun Chips. pretzels and Doritos), apples, Bosc pears, almonds
5 Bands/Artists That I Know The Lyrics Of Most of Their Songs - Tupac, Eminem, Linkin Park, Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp
5 Things I Would Do With $100,000,000 - 1) Give enough money to my family members so they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives; 2) Fund the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Athens for the next 50 years; 3) Give some money to random charities and my church; 4) Buy a sweet beach house ... either at Ocean Isle, N.C., or somewhere in the Charleston, S.C., area; 5) Buy some land in Athens-Clarke County, and elsewhere in Northeast Georgia, and designate it as either permanent greenspace or a public park ... probably both.
5 Locations I'd Like To Run Away To - Costa Rica, The British Virgin Islands, Key Largo, Banff (Canada), Anywhere in New England
5 Bad Habits I Have - Quick temper, procrastination, inability to finish projects, stuttering and speaking too fast (is that a habit), sticking my foot in my mouth
5 Things I Like Doing - Watching TV, reading, working in the yard, playing NCAA Football 2006, spending time with the wife

5 Movies I Like - To Kill A Mockingbird, Anchorman, Mississippi Burning, Primary Colors, Dead Poet's Society
5 Famous People I'd Like To Meet - Robert F. Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt, George Clooney, James Carville, Sarah Michelle Gellar
5 Biggest Joys At The Moment - Dwelling on the fact the Red Sox are world champs ... and beat the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in Game 7 to do it, enjoying my job and the people who I work with, satisfaction of seeing how nice our yard looks, enjoying our new friends at our new church, spending time with the wife
5 Favorite Toys - NCAA Football 2006 ... that's it! I need an iPod!

The Westside Story
OMG. Awesome.
You're at a new church?
Well, First Baptist. So same church I suppose, but it's new to us since we've been members for less than a year.
