INSPIRED BY FACEBOOK: 25 NEW (MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS ABOUT ME…
INSTRUCTIONS
I’m not publicizing this list, just having fun with it.
Inspired by the ongoing Facebook craze, it’s a note with 25 random thoughts, facts, habits, or goals about me. Of late.
1. I think Jay Leno is going to get his ass kicked when his new primetime bullshit show begins this fall.
2. When in doubt, get me some Eliza Dushku. Twice. Yes.
3. The ticket for 2012: President Barack Obama and Vice President John Youngren!
4. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!
5. If you worked for Bruce Springsteen, would you call him “The Boss?”
6. I love the ladies in high heels or boots.
7. I’ve yet to start writing my novel.
8. If I had any true musical talent, I could have been one helluva songwriter. Or, maybe, Bernie Taupin.
9. If I could be one current TV character, it’d be Jack Bauer from “24.” "With all due respect, Madam President ... ask around."
10. Who says you can’t go home?
11. I think Alex Rodriquez is the worst kind of phony poser. Fuck him.
12. I didn’t ever think Paul was dead.
13. I’m thinking, “OK, we can live without peanut butter for a while.”
14. I actually think Toby Keith was a decent actor in his recent movie, “Beer for My Horses.”
15. I never liked Valentine’s Day, even when I had a Valentine.
16. Favorite current TV shows? “Friday Night Lights,” “24,” “Lost,” “House” and “The Office.” Sort of still “ER.” (Yeah?) And “30 Rock.”
17. I’m so tired, I cannot get to sleep.
18. I’ve been eating too many Red Rock pizzas. But that’s me.
19. I actually like the Tim McGraw cologne. I bought a new bottle tonight.
20. I think David Letterman is more influential than ever when it comes to current culture. But then, I’ve always been a “Dave” guy (see No. 1).
21. I maybe have never been in love.
22. Earned media sucks.
23. I think Jessica Simpson looks great.
24. I think Brett Favre should still keep playing.
25. Conan will do OK.
