So here we go. Using the letters of your favorite band or artist tell us a little more about yourself.

I have been listening to this band a lot lately… I am sure it will die out… I am a huge Red hot chilli peppers fan, but I will use this one since it is the one that I am listening to right now.

Motorcyclist. I love motorcyles… no news there.
Admirer of beauty, specially nature and just all of Gods creation.
Reader… even though right now I am stuck in my current book, I have a couple others lined up… maybe I should just stop reading it for now.
Outgoing, I really try to be. Like to have fun.
Outspoken, this gest me in trouble a lot of times, but at the same time I think is one of my best qualities.
Naugty… oh yes… I can be. But we will quite while we are ahead.

Fortunate, I thank God every day for everything he has given me.
Intricate… or just plain complicated sometimes.
Versitile. I like to think I am anyways.
Entrepernurial… I am sure I bastardized this word, but I do think I am that. LOL

I think this is the longest time that I did not blog in a while. I have been super busy with work and Friday was not expection. I finished up what I needed to do and started my weekend. I spent this weekend in Chicago, visiting and having a fun time with family and friends. It was simply awesome.

I also got to see Timeline and Big Daddy this weekend which I will review when I get some time maybe later on tonight. Today is Monday Music Mambo so lets get to it…

A geek– Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? …the six year old? …or someone from outside? …and how about in your web space? No, we’re not looking for techs; we’re just curious .

ould be me, I am the computer geek of not only my family but also friends. Well at least the friends that are not already in the computer field.

in the– computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? …and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it’s more than a casual question.

Well, I am all over the place with browsers, I use Mozilla and IE 5 and 6. Depending on what computer I am at. OS Win2k, but mostly not by choice.

Family– Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? …and how about your ‘off line’ friends? …or do you supply a little bit of separation there?

I know a lot of my friends read me, my family overseas does also. My inmediate family not so muhc, if they do, they don’t comment ;)

From the TV show Dharma & Greg, First posted at SnazzyKat’s Blog:

“Anger is like a little puppy, Greg. If you don’t let him out, he will piddle on the carpet of your soul.” - Dharma’s mother

This quote craked me up, but it has a lot of truth attached to it. I am all into releasing anger, I miss taekwondo very much, need to get back into it.

This week a “getting to know you” theme with an insane twist.

First, as a warm up, using the letters I-N-S-A-N-E reveal six things about yourself.

Impatient, but I have learned over the year to controll it. I am still very impatient when I let myself be.
Nature lover, growing up I made my own ant farms (catching them and stuff) not to mention my dream to some day be a Vet.
SSalsa dancer, yes I can dance, and can dance good.
Artist, something I want to become… I used to be pretty good a free hand but have not done it in quite some time. Have to start again.
Never late, or at least I try. I love being punctual ;)
Entertaining, or at least I think I am. Am I funny, am I a clown, do I amuse you ;)

1. What’s the best pickup line you ever heard and did it work?
My favorite pick up line, and it actually does work because of its entertainment value is “Wanna Wrestle.”… so ladies “Wanna Wrestle.”
2. If you were a character in The Wizard of Oz, who or what would you be?
Never seen that movie… I know I am horrible. I guess I have to rent that and buy the dark side of the moon… it is 4/20 LMAO. *Disclaimer* LOGTAR.com is a drug free stablishment. Drug reference for entertainment purposes only.
3. If you were an element of weather, what would you be?
I would be wind, that is for sure. Wind is powerful and can create both hurricaines and tornadoes, but at the same time it can be as serene as an ocean breeze.
4. If you were a breed of dog, what would you be and why.
I have become fond of the Airedale Terriers. Very cool multifaceted dog. If you do not know about the breed get informed ;)
5. If you were a toy or a game, what would you be and why?
Wow… this is really a good question… and yes my mind did go to the gutter but I recovered. If I was a toy I would probably be Teddy Bear, I know not very macho or anything, but hey ladies love to cuddle with them.

Music is a powerful force, at least for me. Music really marks times in my life, I can hear a song and kind of like a specific smell it will bring back memories. I am not extremely picky about what I really listen to, I do not mind listening to a top 40 station in the radio at all. All the pop music really makes it easy to pin point a year. I am sure I can go back for the last 10 years and have a song that just reminds me of a specific year. That would be a good write up. (Mental note of to do).

I also feel that music makes you connect with people. Just driving on a car and singing to the same song at the same time can create a connection with that person like never before. Or think of it in terms of a concert, how many people can sing the same song and connect on that instant in time. I am sure all that energy is what artists crave. I have heard this time and time again, that the electricity of a live performance is hardly ever topped by anything else.

Try to remember the last time that you had an event in your life… were there any songs that really helped you through? Or is there one powerful song that is like your fighting anthem. I actually do have one. Any time that I am feeling down I put this CD on and just jam to it. Listen to song 4… Celebrate Our Love.

The temperature is finally getting to tolerable levels in Mid-Michigan, what am I saying it was just awesome. I could not believe how nice it was… temperatures on the 70’s all weekend and just the best for hanging out. Friday night was dart night and I had a couple of excellent games, but and for the first time I can actually blame sucking on Mike… who killed a good game or two. Love ya ;)

Saturday got to spend an awesome afternoon riding my new mountain bike, got some exercise and just enjoy the Midland downtown area. Then just an awesome time driving around with the windows down. I love spring, and summer as well, any time you can just drive and have your windows down is awesome to me. Did my fair amount of chatting this weekend, and got on some really good conversations. Bea is just one of the coolest people I have met in the net and well, she is just becoming a excellent buddy to talk to. She was working on the layout of her blog this weekend and went with an awesome theme… go check it out, I think it looks just all warm and fuzzy ;)

Sunday was also showered with excellent weather and more driving around with the windows down. Friday, the person not the day started this last week… where do you blog… Here is my GeekDom
