Well, it seems that blog memes still exist, since my friend Jeff tagged me with one. In the true spirit of blogging, I will now blindly jump on board and reveal several seemingly interesting but totally meaningless factoids about myself:
What were you doing five years ago?
Living at the beach.
What are five snacks you enjoy?
I’m not really much of a snack person; I like the production aspect of a proper meal too much to waste much eating on snacks, but I am occasionally partial to:
- a proper flapjack (not a pancake, a granola bar as God intended them to be);
- Cuban chocolate;
- Scottish shortbread;
- Walker’s Cheese & Onion crisps; and
- Curried Popcorn
What are five things you would do if you were a billionaire?
- Hire an accountant to keep me from being stupid with the money;
- Hire a law firm to get me out of being stupid with the money;
- Buy an apartment (building) in Paris;
- Endow chairs and scholarships in Philosophy at select universities (MIT, McMaster, Birkbeck); and
- Play $100 a hand blackjack at Caesar’s Palace until my eyes bled (from memory, this is about 35 hours…).
What are five of your bad habits?
- Saying “yes” before I think things through;
- Assuming that people want to know my opinion when they ask my opinion;
- Buying books faster than I could possibly read them;
- Navel-gazing (i.e. blogging); and
- Planning out in great detail possible futures I have no real interest in making a reality.
What are five places where you have lived?
- (various) North Carolina;
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina;
- (various) Georgia;
- (various) Alabama; and
