In fact, you enjoy taking risks and doing things most people would shy away from.

What Does Your Taste in Music Say About You?

Well, I havne’t written in awhile. My trip to see my family in Denver was really great. It wasn’t the typical “visit the family” experience. I’m keeping busy doing htings with my son. At least he still wants to do things together.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July. It’s so dry here that I don’t expect fireworks. There haven’t been any fireworks ahead of the 4th.

I haven’t written much in the past few days. I haven’t made the time to write, and I have been sick from the smokey air. I did get some great sunset photos on Sunday though.

Ever since my son bought RockBand (at my urging), I have been occupied. He and I don’t usually play vdieo games together. RockBand is different. We spent five hours playing on Tuesday when we got it, and another two hours on Wednesday. He was never fond of GuitarHero, although at this point I’m hoping that the drums, guitar and mic will work when GuitarHero World Tour comes out. The only drawback to RockBand is the music. We have downloaded (bought) other songs that we like better. I’m hoping that they come out with more music. It’s from MTV and EA. I don’t expect it would be that big of a deal to expand the game. It does have online play, but we’re too chicken…
I have learned that I play left-handed guitar. I’m completely worthless playing right-handed.

I think the goal of blogging every day is gone. I missed 5 days while my computer was down, and now with my son here, I’m missing more days. He has his ACT this Saturday, and we have to go out of town for him to take it. Hard to believe that there were no seats locally. That’s what happens when you postpone signing up for weeks and weeks. He didn’t see the importance in signing up right away. But it will give me a chance to spend some time taking photos in a new area. I have to catch some sunset photos on the ocean. I’ll be posting the photos when I get back.

You Belong in Los Angeles
|

Whether you’ll admit it or not, a huge part of you likes being in the spotlight.And you may just have enough star quality to make it big in LA!
Even if you don’t become famous, you still belong in a place where you can get a year round tan.

Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?
Now, if I want to cure cancer, enjoy looking at the ocean and not getting in it and stick to being bookish…
You Belong in San Francisco
|

You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You’re half California, half NYC.
You’re open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you’re the best.
People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you’re also progressive, interesting, and rich!

I wouldn’t bank my future on one of these quizzes, but it makes me wonder if I took a wrong turn somewhere. Still, I love science, especially chemistry. And, I love artistic type things, like writing and photography.

Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.You would make an excellent:
Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor
Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer
Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer
Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor
The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.

What’s Your Ideal Career?

I guess that’s one way to look at it. My son is finally here, but I’m not ready for another person’s mess. He’s a bit of a slob. I don’t mind the mess when it stays in one room (his), but I do mind when the mess covers the entire house. Apparently, cleanliness isn’t that important at his dad’s house, so he doesn’t have a neatness habit.
Two of my cats have begun their summer hibernation. They don’t like strangers, so they hide under the bed or in a closet all day long for the entire time my son is here. They hide like that anytime someone is here.

It has been an odd day. Mostly because I have been asking odd questions of people. I’ve been a bit disappointed though because many of the things I have asked of people, I’m not getting.
I asked someone I know to be a coach to help me as a coach, but he’s too busy and passed me along to someone else. I don’t know how that will work out, but I will just wait and see. I’m disappointed though.
I made a unusual proposal to a friend of mine. He also turned me down once he found out what it really was. I think he was considering my proposal when he thought he knew what it was. Oh well. More disappointment.
I have been taking on asking people for things, help, etc. Especially those things I think they will say “no” to. It seems that my requests are occurring as unusual and odd. I’m probably being a freak in their worlds.
I noticed the “freak magnet” category as I was picking where to put this post. I still have that happen, but they seem much less freaky than they used to. I may be showing up as the freak now. But then I always admit that I am.
