White Lightning Axiom: Redux

Yes, there is Karma and I've got a sack-full that says I deserved this from Alex.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
What is a grocery store? I shop a BJ's wholesale. People stop me there and ask me questions because they believe I work there.

2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?
That would be like Photoshopping Jabba the Hut.

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
I mostly get spam mail about Viagra ... creep/dork mail would be welcome.

4. Do you lie in your blog?
Define 'Do'.

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Not really ... more Agressive-agressive-neutral(-aggressive) than anything.

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
If I was going to quit I really would never have started.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?
If therapy consists of chopping wood and erecting massive wooden fabrications in the back yard ... then yes. I don't think a therapist would feel comfortable around me anyways.

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
Actually, I don't think I've gotten a 'mean' comment yet. Even if I did I would probably leave it up. Enemies are fun. Faking nice comments is a little self-defeating.

9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
Hrmmmm. You know talking about my kids most of the time kinda makes this a really creepy question.

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
Most of my readers do know me in person ... and they still think I'm a fairly grumpy guss.

11. Do you have a job?
Kinda ... beyond raising kids, I go to this hell-hole 5 days a week for 8 hours and spend another 2 hours driving back-n-forth from the said location. I get paid for it. It must be a job.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
I'd probably want a few guidelines but I would most likely jump on that ... the savings in travel cost (stinking gas prices/tpk tolls!) and time lost to commuting would be a micro-boon.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
Hrmmm ....Lei in Vietnam and Victor Hansen would probably be at the top of the list. Blackfive and Steel would be in second place.

14. Which bloggers have you made out with?
Would you believe Lisa Ling? No? Yeah, ok ... Just one ... two ... ok, I can think of 3.

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
Probably less ... but I'm a penny pincher so what do you expect.

16. Does your family read your blog?
More than you can imagine.

17. How old is your blog?
Hmmm, just 17 months now ... only a baby-blogger.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?
I'm small-time and like it that way.

19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?
I have no secrets ... really. Well, except for that overseas job but I can't talk about that ... ever.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
Bwa-ha-ha-haaaa.

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
If I actually had ads or got paid for this I suppose I would.

22. Is blogging narcissistic?
For me ... probably. Otherwise I would have turned off comments.

23. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time?
Guilty? More like dreadfull ... catchup is a bummer.

24. Do you like John Mayer?
Pop culture sickens me. Next question.

25. Do you have enemies?
OBL for one. Personal enemies ... very few. I can think of 2.

26. Are you lonely?
I have 2 kids, 2 dogs, a wife, a brother, parents, inlaws and no less than 100 cousins. I can't even use the bathroom without being interrupted.

27. Why bother?
Ok, that's like asking what use is living since you are going to die. You are stuck on stupid here.

28. Favorite Blogging tip
Write what you know.

Time to mess with someone elses cheese: Toni, Steel and Contentious Chick!
