Okay. I've had little time to blog lately, but during my breaks, I was forwarded lots of meme's and I've slowly began going through them one at a time. And here is one of them. There were certain rules that came with this meme, but they got to be a little restricted for me -lol- so I just decided to wing it and post it. Copy and participate if you'd like.
Here are ten honest things about the man you know as Mista Cage:
1) When I drive long distances, I have little regard for the speed limit. But let me have at least one passenger or a carload and all of a sudden, the speed limit becomes my best friend. Usually to my passengers' chagrin. It's very simple. When you get in my car, I am obligated to get you from point A to point B safely. Its not in my best interest to break the speed barrier.
2) With shame, I've unfairly leaned into my friends when they've gone drinking and got behind the wheel of a car to get home. I explain to them that I just don't want them to be on the wrong end of a drunk driving incident like the one that took my girlfriends' life. So much so, I've also told them if they do that, they shouldn't even tell me about it. I'm fine without knowing, because once I know, I am no longer in control of what comes out of my mouth.
3) How shallow can I get? I once didn't call a woman after a few months of dating because she continuously maintained an untidy home. Yeah, she was fine and yes she was fun to be around, but I'm a self-proclaimed neat-knack. And there's just no way that was going to work.
3) My wife has been away for 8 months. It's caused some friction, but not with her and I. But with my closest friends who feel I deserve better. I admire the fact that they are open about it, and can say some of the most difficult things for any friend to have to say to another. I'll always thank them for having my best interests in mind. But the person going through it (me) isn't as concerned. Naivette?
4) My best asset is my patience, but at times it has been a MAJOR liability.
5) I was hooked on pain killers a month ago for back problems. The bad thing is, I didn't stop abusing the self-medication because of what it was doing to me, but for what it was doing to someone else. THAT, got me to stop.
6) An exgirlfriend somehow got the address to my job and sent me 1 of 2 scathing letters (the other was an e-mail) because of what I can only sum up as a weird breakup that occurred over 17 years ago. I guess time doesn't heal all wounds after all.
7) A female blogger once faked being an anonymous commenter to send me a message in my comments section. I never revealed to her that I knew what she had done, but I thought it was cute, ultra-sexy and I was pretty flattered that she went through all of that to get her point across.
8) For some reason, I'm one of those people that folks want to tell me their most private affairs or business even though I'm very uncomfortable knowing them. Maybe its because I do not judge them for their actions. I don't know. The flip side to this coin is, I will still give them the best advice that I can give them if they so choose to hear it.
9) I once daydreamed about having a menage-a-trois with 2 of my female coworkers. I later told 1 of them. (snicker)
10) This year alone, I've had 4 dreams that involved Senator Barack Obama. The funniest one was when he smacked me across the face for not calling him President Obama because I simply called him Barack. He pulled me from my neck and did a Sylar and said, "THAT'S PRESIDENT OBAMA to YOU!!!" -lol
10) My neighbor across the street is showing signs of having the hots for me. Twice on Saturday she came by with 2 lame excuses just to get me to answer the door. She's obviously noticed that the wife is away too. Another Ms. Parker moment? Only time will tell.
-- did you notice that I had Two #3 and Two #10 entries?
