Ten on Tuesday

1. If given the opportunity, would you choose a mediocre job that paid well or your dream job that paid poorly?
It would depend on what “paid well” was and what “paid poorly” was.  I did my dream job for awhile and it didn’t pay well, but there were other problems with it too.  Now, I’m in a job that I love and it allows me to live well… so I’m a happy guy!


2. What is your favorite thing about the 4th of July? (For the foreigners: What is your impression of the 4th of July?)
In Omaha, I love watching and listening to all the fireworks.  There are thousands going of all at the same time.  You really haven’t experienced a fourth until you’re in a large town where fireworks are legal.  It' sounds like a warzone.  Not that I’ve ever been in a war zone… I just imagine it sounds similar.

3. What’s the most random fact you know about American history?
2% of Americans died in the Civil War.  In terms of today’s population, that would be 6,000,000 people!

4. What is the best fireworks display you’ve ever seen?
There was this time I was on the planet Mars and they had just gotten a shipment of fireworks from China and they accidentally set them all of at the same time.  Let’s just say the red planet was really red that day!

5. Who taught you how to put on makeup?
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU IMPLYING!!?!?!??!

6. Have you ever gone through a financial planning process? Tell us about it.
No.  And if I did, they wouldn’t ask me a question about me putting on makeup. 

7. What was your favorite outfit as a kid? Bonus points for pictures.
I loved being naked.  I remember running around the grocery store naked once.  Then the cops came.  Click on this link if you want to see a picture.

8. Do you prefer a beach, lake, swimming pool, or no water?
I like Tide.  I always mess up bleach and get it on my clothes.  What?  BEACH?  Oh… watch your mouth!

9. Do you recycle? If not, why?
We’re starting now.  We got a big blue bin!

10. What are your thoughts and feelings about the Twilight Saga?

Oh man!  Where do I start?!?  This is the book about vampires who really aren’t like vampires.  Twilight vampires don’t die in sunlight… they sparkle.  They can also drink animal blood instead of human blood.  They also don’t turn into bats, but instead can have special powers like mind reading.  They also sleep in normal beds and not coffins.  Twilight Vampires aren’t real vampires.  Further, it’s ridiculous that Edward, the main character in the Twilight novels, is a pedophile and the two are in an abusive relationship.  Edward is actually 100-something years old and Bella is in high school.  He also gives his girlfriend bruises and hurts her, which she brushes off by saying, “He didn’t mean to…” and “He loves me.”  Wow.

First, I laughed when I saw your warzone comment because I say that every year. It's even more war like now that we live in Millard. We went outside on Sunday night and there was literally a haze of smoke in the backyard...and no one was setting them off in the back yards!

Second, before you were a year old, you enjoyed streaking a lot. You'd run from the bathroom after your bath, running naked through the room.

Third, Twilight vampires don't have beds, because they don't sleep, this can be proven when in either the 3rd or 4th one (they all blur in my head as the obsessive prattling of a love sick teen girl after awhile) when Bella is staying with the Cullens, they specifically have to locate and get a bed for her, as there is none in the house. (yes I have read these, but did you expect any less from me?)
