Not because there is not one posted, but because it is weak…

I used to follow another meme back in the day, like 2 years ago, called the Wednesday Mind Hump founded by my friend Fridays Child. With their meme they helped spark the idea of Mood Panties. I even helped write some of the questions at one point… this week their questions are way better so, no Friday Feast, welcome to the late Wednesday Mind Hump.

Wednesday Mind Hump

Hello humpers! Sadly, George Carlin died this week. I think a good way to honor him would be to discuss comedians.

1. Who is your favorite comedian (stand-up or otherwise)?
It has to be Eddie Izzard, because of his smart comedy. That and the Riches.

2. What is your favorite comedy movie?
It used to be There is Something about Mary… but there has been some good ones from the 40 year old virgin crew… I cannot decide which one just yet.

3. Which comedian do you just not get?
Not sure, I actually appreciate most comedians, it takes huge cojones to get up there.

4. If you were a fan of George Carlin, what was your favorite bit he did?
Oh, I could not pick a favorite… I love his English language jokes as much as I did his fart jokes.

Thanks for humping, and rest in peace, George!

I also had to bring the little dancing robot in BDInsanity honor.

If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?
Not sure, I would have thought that maybe Europe, both my wife and I want to become fluent in Italian and what better way that to live in Italy for a year… however, living in Japan for a year sounds like fun too.

All of them… but mostly Firefox.

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

How often do you get a manicure or pedicure? Do you do them yourself or go to a salon and pay for them?

Do you know anyone whose life has been touched by adoption?
I know of two people that were adopted and it has been with mixed results. While they all lived very good lives, as a friend I did get to notice that they felt some kind of abandonment. I know that this does not happen to everyone that is adopted but its something that I have seen first hand and its always in the back of my head when I think of adoption.

Dessert
Name 2 blue things.
I love blue, so there is a lot of stuff but right now I see the blue on the wordpress interface and the blue blinking light on the Wii.

Deguia has put together a very interesting meme that I think is worth thinking about and doing. Some of us are lucky to still have both of our parents alive, some of us are not… but in the end I think remembering the good they did for us its what counts. So… lets do this for our Mother’s

—

Mother’s Day will take place on May 11th and while I’m not a huge fan of the whole “Corporate America wants us all to honor our mothers on one day each year” thing, I do agree that doing something a little extra for your mom is never a bad thing.

From my experience, no matter how old you are, moms love it when their kids make something for them. Often times it’s difficult to think up something creative to do for your mother, so I thought it’d be fun to start a meme to help get the creative juices flowing.

Tell me about three things, in detail, that make you really appreciate your mom!

Be specific! Think about all of the things your mother may have done for you: things she may have sacrificed, times when she went WAY above and beyond for you, etc.

To kick things off, I’ll go first:

1. My mom has a warm meal for us every single day we were growing up. This might not mean much to some people, but I know it meant the world to me. I appreciate it even more in todays world of never ending work weeks and deadlines.
2. She stayed up with me every single time that I was sick. She would do special meals for me and nurse me back to health every single time.
3. My mom sacrificed the best days of her life for me. She was just 16 when she had me and growing up I never thought of her as one of the after school special girls. She never made me feel like I had stopped her life or was a big sacrifice.

Your turn! Leave me a comment at Deguia’s and let him know that you’ve done this meme, he really wants to check out what you wrote!

Yes, I do this because I am lazy on Fridays…

Appetizer
Name something you would categorize as weird.
That people don’t understand that hating something is actually putting tons of effort towards something that does not deserve it.

Soup
What color was the last piece of food you ate?
Multicolor… it was pizza from the Shoppe Sausage and Bacon… Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, nom, nom, nom.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy being alone?
1 I like having people around me… never cared for a lone or quiet time much.

Main Course
Fill in the blank: I will _________ vote for ___________ in _______.
I will certainly vote for OBAMA in the next election… and I used to be a Republican

Dessert
Describe your sleeping habits.
I like to not be disturbed while sleep… the end… hehe. I guess this question wants more… I try to get about 7 hours… maybe 8 is all my body wants. I wake up pretty early and without an alarm most days
