Friday Fives

1] Are you a spontaneous person, a planner, or somewhere in-between? Have you ever gone on a spur-of-the-moment road trip or vacation? When, and did you have fun? as for vacations, I am a planner now. With the corporate job and wanting to save money and all, we pretty much plan to the 'T'. For example, we have 2005 completely planned out for vacations, and it is gonnna be rad! However, in college I was much more free. I have taken multiple trips to California for days with only minutes or days warning. I remember an evening right after we got off school for a week for spring break (college at NAU). For some random reason that was not uncharacteristic, I had a band set up in my family room. I play guitar see, and we brought in a drummer and the workds. Mikey DiPrima knocks on my door and tells me he is going to San Diego for a week, and did I want to join. I did. I was out of the building within 15 minutes, leaving MY apartment to these dudes who had instruments and needed a place to play. It worked out great, Pat even did the dishes while I was gone. 2] Are you a hockey fan, and what are doing in the absence of the Avalanche? Do you watch a lot of sports on TV? What is your favorite sports watching food? I won't even begin to get into the whole hockey strike thing. Let me tell you this though, I live and die for the NFL on Sunday. It is the only sport I watch, and it is the greatest one in the world. As for sports watching food, I have two dishes I do. One is an amazing Chili I make from scratch (which means the first ingredients go in at 9 am, but no one eats until 4 pm) and the other is my world famous Artichoke cream spinach dip baked into a loaf of hollowed out of Sheepherders Bread. 3] If someone gave you $25 right now and said that you had to spend it within the hour, what would you buy and why? The first thing I would buy is the Velvet Revolver CD. That is the band with the guys from Guns & Roses playing with the singer (Scott Weiland) of Stone Temple Pilots. I have only heard two songs off of it but it sounds powerful and awesome. Also, I understand first edition CD jewel boxes come with an 8 ball of blow and an actual sealed arrest warrant for Scott Weiland on failure to appear for narcotics charges. Apparently these are plentiful in Los Angeles. 4] Name three things that you're looking forward to in the near future and why. near future in the traditional sense has been crushed. It is about the President thing and it is far too late to have that talk now. I should be sleeping already. Sorry, I got off topic. This weekend I am looking forward to seeing Wilco at the Fillmore. Am also still waiting for that penis pump. Oh, don't like you aren't! Also, we have the usual Bronco game Sunday at 2 pm. 5] Do you know any foreign languages? Which ones? If you could become fluent in any language [writing and speaking it], which one would you pick and why? yes, Spanish... and I can speak it conversationally well (which is a big notch below fluent). If I could learn any language in the world, it would be to learn Spanish better. There is no better place, or people, on the planet than those of Mexico. It is where my heart belongs, and it is where I will one day retire. As always, this goodness and strangenes come from Roy.
