Trip down memory lane – Midweek Music Meme

I’m old enough to remember when records and 8-tracks were the choice you had in purchasing music for home (or auto) consumption. Not only that, but record players played LP’s and 45’s – and some even played 78’s, although I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen one of those outside of an antique shop. Cassette tapes were just beginning to come into their own when I started acquiring much of a music collection. I explained this all to my 11-year-old recently and she seemed astonished that music ever came on anything other than CDs and the computer. Damn, that made me feel old.

What was the first piece of music you bought with your very own money, and what format was it in?

S-x Flash Mob – S-xy Saturday

If you knew about a sexy flash mob in your area, and all people joining had to get undressed in the middle of the city, would you join in for the fun of it? Does it matter to you to show naked body in public or even private? Or do you enjoy showing yourself around, and do you feel proud about it or just natural? If you are afraid of showing your body, why is it so and when did it begin to feel uncomfortable?

I’m not sure if I’d join in and the only reasons are: 1) it’d be a silly reason to get arrested and 2) I’d have to check and see if there is a morals clause in my work contract :)

Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter to me, public or private I’ve really no inhibitions about it. It’s just natural, it’s never bothered me. I feel dumber at the doctor in the lame little robes they have there than if I was just standing there.

High School – Monday’s Memories

What is your favorite high school Memory? We had a great trip to Toronto in my Junior year. Made a lot of the friends I still have today. Just had a lot of fun, caused a lot of trouble, bounced all around town, played a lot of cards… (No disrespect to any memories to any girls I knew then, I’m just not a guy to kiss and tell…)

From the NEW meme listed at The Daily Meme this is from Monday’s Memories.

  • Church

    From the First Four.

  • Unfinished Memes

    I’ve started a few memes and never gotten done, so I’m grabbing the answers I’ve done and putting them together as a big mish-mash.

    How often do you go grocery shopping?
    Once a week, maybe every other but it still requires a quick stop somewhere for the perishables (cantelope, eggs, milk, etc.)
    What do you like shopping for most often?
    Electronic Gizmos.
    Are you an impulse shopper?
    Sometimes. Usually not for the expensive toys. Impulse on book purchases on offbeat topics that I might never use.
    There’s a movie being made about your life! Which celebrity will play you? Why?
    Tom Hanks or Michael Keeton. People always tell me I look like them. Casual and curly chair I hear Tom. In a suit I hear Michael (many times specifically referencing Bruce Wayne).
    If you were president what would your top 5 priorities be? What would you like to accomplish?

    1. Education (bigger better smarter)
    2. Information Access Equity (Internet)
    3. Taxes (Push the burden higher up)
    4. Traffic Safety ($400 fine for not using your blinker!)
    5. Make it easier to prosecute people when the evidence is clear.

    Color of my loud thoughts – Wednesday Whatevers

    1. Do you think out loud?
    No. But sometimes I need to talk something through with someone, with them nodding and saying “uh-huh” so that I can work the process through (by myself).
    2. What color pen do you prefer to write in?
    Red. It makes it more important and it’s easier to mark things on other documents.
    3. How would you describe your voice?
    Too fast fast for human comprehension.
