Relevant but mindless Drivel

Suffice it to say, I am not in much of a state at the moment to put much though into a post as we continue to deal with the passing of TheWife’s Step Father.  So, since I owe Chicka a Meme anyway, and I fear what will happen if I stall on it any longer, it seemed a good day for such an endevour.

Here are the rules. Write a post using each letter of your middle name, describing something relevant to your life. Tag the same amount of people as you have letters in your name.

E - Emotional - If my middle name was Peter I would say passionate, but I will settle for emotional.  I am rarely ambivalent about things I care about.  I almost always build emotional ties to people, or causes that are quite strong.

D - Determined - My father usually called it “Stunad” (pronounced stew-nad, I like most others have no idea how it is spelled) or “think headed” but I prefer determined.  When I set my sights on something, my determination lets little (including logic) get in my way of drive to attain it.

W - Water - I love the ocean.  I could never live some place that did not offer easy access to the ocean.  One of the things I love about New Jersey is how close you are, almost regardless of where in the State you live, you are never more than about an hour away from “the shore”

A - Animated - I’ll blame it on Italian heritage, but if you taped my arms to my sides, I would probably lose the ability to speak.

R - Recycle - my father was always one to recycle (or actually reuse) as much of whatever he had, to a point where it was annoying, because he never threw anything away.  I am not that bad, but in my drive to keep this planet in good shape for future generations, I am a big proponent to recycle as much as possible so the planet doesn’t become one big landfill.

D - Disorganized - If there is a method to my madness, nobody (including me) has figured it out yet.  Probably a by-product of being ADD, “stacks” is the closest I often reach in terms of organization.  (except on my computer where I am so organized, TheWife who borders on organizational Obsessiveness goes “damn, now that is organized.”)

I am not going to tag anybody specifically for this since so many hide behind pseudonyms, plus I have not had much luck enticing people into doing them.  But if you are inclinded to play along, please by all means do so, and just comment here so I can read along.

    Ah yes, stunad… I know it well. (When TFB claimed to be “boss” his grandma would tell him he’s boss of the bukouzu, (I don’t know the spelling), which we were told was “boss of the shithouse” or some such phrase, but I can’t verify it anywhere.)

    And yeah, i live with an Italian, so your “A” makes complete sense.

Got something to say?
