I rarely get asked to do these, and then got 3 of them 4 of them 5 of them in about 2 weeks on Facebook. I seriously doubt I have 25 readers, but I thought I would post this here. If you read this, you’ve been tagged, and I want to hear your responses (seriously, I’m not kidding).
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. So that’s what I did. If you do it, post it on your blog, and send me the link so I can read it.
1. I may not always show it, but Tamika is the best thing to have ever happen to me. She is amazing.
2. I want Zerflin to grow big enough to take care of my family, and other families too. As big as it will go.
3. I am frustrated it that it’s impossible to live on one income right now.
4. When I was little, I was proud to be American. When I left the village, I realized how much hurt Americans have caused. I’m regaining some of that feeling from childhood…
5. I’ve never been off this continent and I want to go so badly.
6. I am afraid of being in a place where I’m not experiencing culture shock.
7. I never feel as peaceful as I do when I am in the forest.
8. Macaroni is the best food man ever created. Cheese and hot dogs go well with it.
9. Caribou meat is the best food God ever created. Cooked in a stew all day long is the best way to have it.
10. I desperately miss being around my friends.
11. Growing up, all I read was Science Fiction from the 50’s and 60’s, usually about aliens or robots who were outsiders from society. Something felt familiar about their culture shock. Now I read a lot of history and novels by and about ethnic minorities.
12. I am disappointed that my degree really means nothing to my profession. I am disappointed that getting my masters won’t help me in my career. I am disappointed that getting a masters costs more than I can afford anyway. I am disappointed, because I love school.
13. I am shy. Any extroverted tendencies you see in me are all acting, lies, and wishful thinking.
14. Today, Robert Miles, George Winston, Chopin and Sugar Ray are my musical heroes.
15. Every artist of every genre has at least one good song that I’ll enjoy. But stuff with a good harmony and funky beat are my favourites.
16. I really worry that I’m spread out too thin. Sometimes I think that I might be better off if I JUST focused on being an Illustrator, Designer, Photographer, Writer or Musician.
17. I have a novel in the works.
18. I hate sitting at a desk all day. I wish there was a job where I worked in the forest for one week and worked designing the next.
19. If I offended you, made you angry, frustrated you, or if you felt like I snubbed you, and I find out about it, I am instantly hurt and try and make amends.
20. I have no tolerance for those who pick on the defenseless. I have spent most of my life defending them.
21. I do my best to follow these three: The 10 Commandments, The Knights Code of Chivalry, and The Seven Virtues of Bushidō.
22. I love it when people own my art; so I try to make it as inexpensive as possible. It doesn’t seem to help.
23. I was in fist-fights and tussles almost every day in highschool, and had very very few friends until I moved to the United States.
24. I speak 4 languages, and bits and pieces of 3 more. I want to learn more.
25. It’s not easy, but I love being a father.
Your turn!

re: #17 – me too! #22: I want some of your art! My house (as you have seen) is a gallery of Van Gogh prints and Jossy Pants originals. If you have something in my price range (super dirt cheap) I'd love to patronize the arts!
#25…the most important job you'll ever have!!!! The one career you'll always be focused on…even when you are a musician, designer, writer, or hanging in the forest!:)
thoroughly enjoyed this …
@BrettThank you for #5! Are you really going to learn the violin?You need to post the rest!!@MegWhat is your novel about?You want my art? Really? I am going to make a page about how to buy art just because you said that.@Miss Stanton (old habits die hard)TRUE. Very very true.
@LauxyThen you must make one!
excellent, ben…refreshing and enlightening. We will have to trade novels some day.
@MaryThank you! :)What's yours going to be about?
Nosa costra; good job.
re: 13 – my friend wrote this and I'm totally stealing it: "I'm a strong "I" on the Myers-Briggs, but I can fake an "E" if I'm in the mood" hehe
@ JesseThanks, man. :)@NinaNo joke; I've taken the Myer-Briggs several times (cause my friends don't believe me) and every single time the results are too ambiguous to be conclusive. Right in the middle of all 4 quadrants.
me too! i usually just make sure i get an impossible result, but they come out different every time. once i got the exact opposite result in a day! what are they for anyway?
So people can pigeon hole you and make judgements about you.
yours is so much more interesting than mine. and much more thoughtful and less materialistic. We should do an art trade. I do still shoot on occasion.
@ Mista HeistThanks, dude. Though I did like yours, that's why I read it.Most definitely on the art trade. Pick one from here: http://zerflin.com/ZenPhoto/index.php?album=artworkI'll mail it to you.
