I was tagged by Maddy from Whittier on Autism for this, it’s all her fault…

1. What were you afraid of as a child?
   Being abandoned.
2. When have you been most courageous?
   Going through this divorce.
3. What sound most disturbs you?
   Divorcey sounds. Just kidding. Out of tune guitars kill me.
4. What is the greatest amount of physical pain you’ve been in?
   Dislocating my shoulder sucked pretty hard, I think there was someone with an out of tune guitar there too.
5. What’s your biggest fear for your children? (or children in general if you don’t have your own)
   Not being happy.
6. What is the hardest physical challenge you’ve achieved?
   Hmm, playing guitar with a broken middle finger was really painful and tricky too. I had surgery scheduled in a month and didn’t want to cancel our scheduled gigs.
7. Which do you prefer: Mountains or oceans/big water?
   Tough one, I’ll go with ocean.
8. What is the one thing you do for yourself that helps you keep everything together?
   Stay busy and run.
9. Ever had a close relative or friend with cancer?
   Yes, my grand mother in law, sweetest woman in the world. She made it through.
10. What are the things your friends count on you for?
    Sense of humor I think or being really depressed, toss up.
11. What is the best part of being in a committed relationship?
    Go fuck yourself.
12. What is the hardest part of being in a committed relationship?
    See number 11.
13. Summer or Winter? Why?
    Winter. I love cold weather, just do.
14. Have you ever been in a school-yard fight? Why and what happened?
    Oh yes, I was something. I beat up two girls, the mentally challenged kid, and the only African American child in my first grade class – I think I’m paying for being such a little asshole now.
15. Why blog?
    I gotta get this stuff out.
16. Did you learn about sex, and/or sex safety from your parents?
    Not really, I learned it all from neighborhood dogs and Captain Kangaroo
17. How do you plan to talk to your kids about sex and/or sex safety?
    I’ve got DVDs of Captain Kangaroo. Just kidding, I haven’t thought out the how yet, but I want them to talk to me. I made mistakes in relationships and want them to know that love does exist despite what it did to their father.
18. What are you most thankful for this year?
    The year ending. Seriously, I am extremely thankful for my children, my soon to be ex for having my beautiful kids with me, my parents for all the support they have given me, my job(s), Jimmy Rollins, being one year away from W being out of office, my pets, and the infield fly rule.

Last night after making the fastest transition from being in a great mood to wanting to Hemmingway out (I’ll make it, just something to get used to and besides my lips are chapped, it would hurt to fit the shotgun in) – I worked. The only thing that dulls this shit. I watched Family Guy Presents: Stewie Griffin – the Untold Story (which was freakin’ hilarious). And silly fart jokes is definitely what I needed.

I’m going to go take a 4 mile run now and with any luck have a heart attack in the woods somewhere only to be revived by a CPR trained deer. Who inadvertently gives me lyme disease so I can really be thankful.
