Monday Mission 3.04
Poetry, football, and memory lane

PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.04

1. Do you care for poetry? Do you have a favorite poem? Care to share some of it?
I’m not much of a poetry fan, but I remember one that struck me pretty hard when I was a teenage. It was by an unknown poet from Canada.. was actually quite sad.

2. What does it take to “rock your world?”
Alcohol, hot girls, loud music, and herbal refreshment

3. Have you ever done anything that landed you in financial trouble? Has somebody else’s action ever caused you financial ruin? What happened?
Hahah.. Buying an XBOX last year set me back about two months in debt. Recovered now, but damn that one still hurts. Ruin is an extreme word.

4. Take a stroll down memory lane. There is a song, that every time you hear it, you think of this one person. What’s the song, who is the person, and what memories does it conjure up?
“Catch” by The Cure, from Disintigration. The chorus is “I always used to try to catch her, but I never even caught her name.” It reminds me of an old flame named Denise who would fall down when she laughed really hard. I tried really hard to hook up with her but she would never give me the time of day. Oh well.

5. I’ve never cared for football, it was never on in the house growing up and I never developed a “taste” for it. But I’ve always felt like I “should” enjoy it, that I was deficient in some way because I never get excited about things like the Super Bowl (except for the commercials). Are there any occasions when you feel like you are missing out on something that everyone else seems to enjoy?
Sometimes, but if I am really curious, I usually take the time to see what all the fuss is about. I don’t particularly care for football either, but I do watch the Super Bowl from start to finish. Hell, it’s only once a year.

6. A few of the phrases that get under my skin are “take it to the next level” (which was used when I was told why I was being replaced at Fox by someone who could do that) and “you just don’t get it” (always popular in relationship fights). What phrases “push your buttons” and why?
“I’ll be right there” – 1 hour after being late
“Can I borrow this? I’ll bring it right back.” Never does.

7. Do you believe in life after death? What do you believe happens when our time is up?*
*Question provided by Jill.
I may be crazy, but I think we all just reincarnate until we have gained so much knowledge that we just become part of the planet and everything in it. To me that would be the perfect description of the afterlife.

BONUS: Everybody’s talking all this stuff about me why don’t they just let me live?
Taking lessons from Michael Jackson, PromoGuy? This was a strange question..
