The 50 Spot Survey

I just received one of these little surveys via email so I thought I'd publish it on the ole' blog. Why not, right? If you're interested in reading it then by all means do so. If not though, I assure you that my old style of posting will be back soon. Thanks and enjoy the 50 Spot Survey.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? I guess I don't go often enough to know.

14. Do you have A.D.D.? No.

15. What's one thing you hate about yourself? Goodness. What a question

19. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Chocolate milk, Slurpees, and Root Beer

20. Current worry? What the future will look like.

29. Can you whistle? Sort of. Let's just say the intent is there.

30. Favorite color? I think I like the all the colors.

31. Would you be a pirate? AHAHA. When I was around 3 years old my mom would bring me to work every now and then and the other stock brokers would ask me, "So do you want to be a stock broker just like your mother?" My answer was always, "No, I want to be a pirate." I guess that confirms I was a little weird right from the beginning.

48. What song(s) do you want played at your funeral? I'm not sure if I want a funeral. But after I die I hope the people who knew me will stop to truly listen and appreciate the music both of their lives and in their lives. I believe music is one of the greatest gifts people share.

50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? I asked myself "Is it raining?"

I mentioned Citizen Cope earlier in my blog so I'll mention him again. Politically aware and in touch with the humanitarian side of music, Citizen Cope has an easy sound and welcoming appeal. Check out the video of "Sideways" below. It's truly beautiful.
