I've been tagged* by Beth at Cup of Coffee. Prepare to be bored out of your mind with details of me...
Ten Years Ago
Ten years ago, I had just gotten my Masters degree 14 years after starting college. I worked at a correctional facility teaching GED, and I worked on the side teaching college. The G-Train and I had gotten married a few months prior, second try for both of us. We were in our fifth year of homeowning in Bangor, NY, way up by the Canadian border. In early May of 1998, the winter snow may even have melted (maybe).
5 Things on Today's To Do List
1. Mail Mother's Day crap (like she reads my blog)
2. Um,..work?
3. Sorry, I'm just not that ambitious or interesting

If I Were a BillionaireOh, the money I would waste.
1. I'd have a serious music collection, I'm talkin' real serious!
2. The G-Train would be sooooo much nicer to me
3. Everyone would laugh at all my jokes or they would be removed from my entourage
4. I'd have one big ass house
5. My writing staff would keep Eating Chicken Vindaloo almost as good as it is today
6. I'd weigh at least 300 lbs
7. I'd have a Slide For Life out my bedroom door
3 Bad Habits
I don't drink excessively. I don't smoke. I don't gamble. I gotta get some vices!
1. I care too much
2. I don't take enough credit for my accomplishments

Interesting and humorous ... but it's Cup of CoffeY.
I've got an extensive list for both places lived and jobs. i will blog it.
My to do list is the same as my crazy 8's before I die list.
From what I hear you don't pay for music anyway.
The slide for life confirms your genius status.
Who does Beth shun Savage Distortion?
C-Cup: I have trouble with words ending in -ey, like monkey, Coffey, etc...
Jackson: Get off your soap box - 99% of my music collection is paid for!
I always wanted to be a movie theater projectionist. Oh, how the dreams slip away...
Oh you wish you were Lisa. It's quite an honor to be stalked by me, son.
Besides, I've already mapped out your neighborhood. Look out your window. Now wave!!
At least one more thing on Today's ToDo List: cry for being such a wuss and not getting your ass to Raleigh for VH on Monday night. What a show. Here's a video of Eddie's solo during encore #3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYyNj4oqwZw
). I still have ringing in my ears but I can go deaf now that I've heard Eddie in person again. With him, you wish the guitar had more frets because he was banging on that axe all night. BTW, I ended up having an extra luxury box ticket last minute but I didn't think your truck could make it in an hour.
I love that one of your billionaire goals is to weigh at least 300 pounds ...
Red: It's even sadder when you've experienced the ultimate in slackerhood!
Falwless: I saw you sneak up behind the tree! The jokes on you when the police arrive! I've got Sgt. Harris' number too.
Buzz: That does it - I'm kicking your ass at the family reunion!
C-Cup: Goals? What'a a goal?
oh great!
