On right now... would have to be Gilmore Girls. Can't believe what happened in the last episode

So... this is going on what happened to me today. I met this totally friendly manager of this art store (I had just stopped by to look at a picture in the window and admire it - was beautifully framed and everything). So anyway, he caught me lurking outside and opened up the store 20 min before all the other stores in the mall. I felt bad because I didn't want to buy anything, but he kept on telling me to ignore the price that was listed and he would give it to me cheaper if I wanted to bargain. So this leads me to my question... (sorry for the long explanation)

Have you ever been treated differently when you dressed up a bit (you know formal/casual/business like then when you dressed up in your regular (jeans, t-shirt, etc.)?

Yes, I experience it in my job often. When I call on construction sites I typically dress for the outdoors- Boots, jeans, etc. if I need to visit a client in an office without changing, I am often stopped and challenged. that never happens in a shirt and tie.

What was the best present anybody ever gave you?

omg my new phone is the best birthday present ever! It is so beautiful..it is a motorola v3x and it is pink...I love it so..

What was the first concert you ever went to?

My first "official" concert would have to be NSYNC

Do you have your Christmas Tree up yet? (If you celebrate Christmas)

The tree is up but the lights are conserving energy until closer to the time. Not my idea but the daughters!

Is everyody in your street, neighbourhood or village putting flashing lights and other christmassy gizmos all over their houses running away with loads of electric and using up the worlds resources?

No, just the front of the neighborhood, they are battling (who has more damn christmas cheer )across from each other.

What super power would you choose invisibility or ability to fly, and why?

Ooh, tricky one! Flying would be cool, but I'm too much of a red blooded male not too choose invisibility!

Here's the question:

Hmm, well I know the "Silver Fox" was a Marvel super hero, so I guess it's got something to do with that...

my list includes being on tv and travelling and I've done those two things...I have weird things on my list like 'sleep in a public place'......if an aeroplane counts as a public place then tick that one off...

my question is: which singer would you most like to meet and why?

Cy Curnin, I Love The Fixx.

Matbow, as you can see I got my Avatar, it's not the real Silver Fox but Hollywood will have to do.

Ocean or Mountains? Why?

Mountains. The view from up top is quite something, whereas i kind of fear the ocean because i'm not a strong swimmer, and the ocean is just so vast and rules the world really!!

Whats your biggest fear?

kittens and snowflakes.
no, seriously ice cream, I am terrified of ice cream
no, really seriously the Easter bunny haunts me
no, really really seriously snakes and fire... but flaming snakes really get me.


Have you ever done something because you were afraid of it? Just to defeat your fear.

Yes... I got my wisdom teeth extracted (all 4) today and it was bloody painful too! I've got this fear of being cut open (surgery wise) and decided to have it done today.

Have you had surgery done on you? And if so what did you have done?

I have had lots of surgery because I was born with a cleft lip. I have had like 7 operations at the moment.

What is your favourite karaoke song?

I don't have a favorite one since I've never done Karaoke... but I'll give it a shot... "Over the Rainbow???"

Are you losing or gaining weight over this Christmas season so far?

Probably losing weight to be honest. Unusal for this time of year i know

Tea or Coffee?

Coffee in morning, tea, (iced & unsweetened) when hot or when eating, (this is the house wine of the south)

What kind of car did you think was the coolest in the world when you were a kid?
