Tagged by Matt with Five Things

Ack, that scoundrel Matt has tagged me with the five things meme. Make me do more work will he!

  1. I'm an enviro-nerd. My degree is in Environmental Studies, I own a hybrid car, we compost nearly everything that will rot (ew, that didn't sound good) and secretly I get joy from only putting out a few wraps of plastic every other week. Also, it gives me an excuse to just keep re-using the same jokes over and over... I'm really just "recycling".
  2. I was spit on once by the singer Jewel during a yodel. Seriously, it was before she had gotten her first album out, and she was playing at a local beer pub in Toronto, "C'est What". Not typically my style of music, but she was great. One of the things she did was a song that involved her yodeling, and right in the middle of it, a big spit flys out and lands on my leg. There were only a few dozen people in the place... she stops the performance, says "I'm so sorry", then picks up her guitar and keeps going!
  3. I'm a cat person. You know dog-people and cat-people? I don't dislike dogs, I just like cats. C'mon, its hard not to respect any animal that arrogant.
  4. I'm 1 course away from finally getting my Master's of Education. I'm honestly sick of it. A good friend told me getting a post-grad degree while running a business would be a "triumph of tenacity over reason". He was right.
  5. I've only ever had 1 bottle of "Bud" in my life. Budweiser is among the nastiest stuff I've ever tasted. That said, I'm a self-admitted beer connoisseur snob. I'm hoping my wife gets a keg of St. Ambrose Blond for christmas as a "joint gift"... of course if she does we probably won't make it to New Years.

I'm tagging a few of the commenters on my blog! Yannick, James, John, Scott, and I'm using this opportunity to kick Ankur's butt to get a site up already.

This entry was made on and filed into Personal.

LOL the bit about Jewel doing the yodelling was funny. I can’t promise how soon I’ll have my Five Things meme up as I’m supposed to be going away for the Christmas and haven’t started to pack yet. But we’ll see. :)

Matthew, I think there’s a 12 step program for that kind of thing.

Maybe its time for you to move to Canada and partake in all the great little microbreweries.
