8 Random Facts About Me
I broke my hip... the day before my 13th birthday. I'd tell you about it, but it's kind of a long story.
I love celebrity news (but you already knew this). The latest celebrity news that made me laugh: Britney Spears deplanes due to a lack of leather seats. How awesome is that?!! The answer, of course, is ridiculously awesome.
When I was younger, I had recurring nightmares about the witch from Sleeping Beauty.
I usually read the Economist before going to bed. That way, instead of having nightmares about witches, my nightmares will be about rising interest rates, terrorism, inflation, nuclear proliferation, Iraq, collapsing 3rd world economies, global warming, stock market crashes, or the rising US trade deficit. Sometimes, instead of reading the Economist before bed, I'll read something like People Magazine, just to mix things up. That causes me to have nightmares about celebrity fashion faux pas. And let me tell you, those are the most frightening nightmares of all...
My favorite art, from a particular culture and period of time, is Flemish art from the 14-15th century.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Hot Fuzz. I liked it. But I liked Shaun of the Dead more.
My favorite sport is basketball. My favorite player, other than a Phoenix Suns' player, is Gilbert Arenas.
I'd like to visit India someday.

Meme Time
First off, I am so sore today! I didn't realize camera tossing would kick the crap out of my body so badly, haha. Goes to show how little exercise I'm able to get. I miss exercise...
Anyways.
I've been tagged by Lauren, she created her own little meme and it's quite fun so here goes...
What was your favorite toy growing up? Little toy cars. I was in love with those cars. I remember doing all sorts of stuff with them, like death matches, hard to explain, but really, really fun at the time.
What was the first curse-word you remember learning? Merde or mierda. I can't quite remember.
When did you learn there wasn't a Santa Claus? Don't know how old I was, but my best friend told me there wasn't a Santa, said his parents had told him. I was incredulous and willing to bet my net worth ($5) that it wasn't so... Alas, I finally got confirmation from my parents that my friend was telling the truth. The terror and horror I felt from this revelation escalated when I then put 2 and 2 together, and realized no Santa also meant there was no Easter bunny and no tooth mouse/fairy (in France it's a mouse who brings you stuff, kinda freaked me out at the time)... and by this logic I also decided there was no God.
My views may have since changed... because I swear I saw the tooth mouse just the other day, I thought I saw him under my bed gnawing on an old piece of cheese.
Hey, crazy tooth mouse, that's MY cheese!
Did you have any pets when you were a kid? A German Shepherd. Always had a German Shepherd, love those creatures.
Where did the monster in your bedroom live? Fortunately I had a monsterless childhood. Unfortunately, it has only been in the past year or two that monsters have moved into my closet. They slobber all over my clothes and use my art supplies to paint weird psychedelic things. I guess they're alright, for monsters anyways.
I tag anyone who wants to do this!

25 Question Meme
Another meme I wanted to do that I found over at Silverneurotic's blog.
1. If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be? Chicago. I'd say somewhere in California, but earthquakes, I don't like those. Although Chicago is vulnerable but not as much as Cali.
2. What’s your favorite article of clothing? Rugby jersey
3. Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex? Smile. Nice curves.
4. What’s the last CD that you bought? Can't remember.
5. Where’s your favorite place to be? With family in France.
6. Where is your least favorite place to be? Fast food joint. Man, I am such a pain in the ass!
7. What’s your favorite place to be massaged? Hands.
8. Strong in mind or strong in body? Both I hope. Well, currently my body is weak, so I guess I have to say my mind!
9. What time do you wake up in the morning? Love waking up early. 6 or 7am.
10. What is your favorite kitchen appliance? This thing that is like a mini blender... Don't know what you call it, probably just called a mini blender!
11. What makes you really angry? People who disrespect me or try to screw me over. Especially during my illness I've had some people take some real cheap shots or act really judgemental. When I feel better and don't have as much pain and symptoms I feel more forgiving, these people don't truly mean harm. But when I'm in pain I think about them and what they've said for motivation to get through this bs illness. I try not to rely on anger though, it's a draining emotion that is ultimately very empty.
12. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? Tabla, I like the harmonica too. But you know, if you want real glory and all the ladies, you gotta be the lead guitarist.
13. Favorite colour? Pink and Black
14. Which do you prefer…sports car or SUV? Sport car... but, I don't particularly like these choices!
15. Do you believe in an afterlife? Ask me on my death bed. I'm not close enough to death to fully believe in it yet, but I think there's a good chance that I will. Kinda like Pascal's wager.
16. Favorite children’s book? The ultimate classic: "How To Be Murderously Great Through the Use of Guns, Rocket Launchers, Knives, and a Couple of Pit Bulls!"
17. What is your favorite season? Spring
18. Your least favorite household chore? Hate doing laundry.
19. If you could have one super power, what would it be? Someone wrote a good answer for this, but I can't remember it. This means I have to rely on myself, and I usually panic when that's the case! Oh boy, how bout something unoriginal like superhuman strength. It's gotta be fun. And I promise to only use it for evil. Ah! I mean for good. I'm sick and tired of my stupid subconscious, it's always finding ways to expose my secret evilness.
20. If you have a tattoo, what is it? Colorful dragons snaking up from the middle of my back, then curling around my shoulders with the heads of the fire-breathing dragons located at my chest. I designed it myself. That's a lie. I do have many ideas for tattoos, but I don't really want a tattoo. I don't mind them so much, and I'm more apt to appreciate a tattoo if it has been designed by the person who wears it.
21. Can you juggle? No, I remember my PE class years ago when we had to learn juggling. I was pissed and didn't try. PE isn't about preparing you to join the circus, PE is about tough mental and physical challenges in real sports. Like dodgeball and square dancing.
22. The one person from your past that you wish you could go back and talk to? Big Bird or the Snuffleupagous. Or Tony the Tiger. That guy is great.
23. What’s your favorite day? Thursday or Friday.
24. What’s in the trunk of your car? Nothing important. Well, nothing that the cops need to know about... I definitely don't have dead bodies in the back of my car. I'm not THAT dumb! I put those in my sister's car, you know, she takes the fall if anything happens. I'm a good brother like that.
25. Which do you prefer, sushi or hamburger? Sushi. I do like hamburgers, but I'm sort of a healthaholic. Jeez, ironic I got so sick since I'm usually such a healthy person, but maybe it would've been worse had I not been so healthy.

The Thinking Meme
I saw that Silverneurotic did this meme on her site and I kinda wanted to do it.
If you had to choose one vice in exclusion of all others what would it be? Coffee. Love the coffee.
If you could change one specific thing about the world what would it be? I want peace. So that means no war. And that also means the destruction of all nukes and crazy weaponry that kills people. So those things, but I also wish the world wasn't full of illnesses and diseases. But war is more our own fault, we have control over that, so it's more feasible to curtail!
Name the cartoon character you identify with the most. Daffy Duck is my boy! Although, I don't really think I'm like him, but he always makes me laugh, that surly bastard!
If you could live one day in your life over again which one would it be? I've had too many good days. Hard to choose one. Any day I've gotten to paint and also play basketball. Then gotten to hang out with friends. Loved days like that. Those were good times.
If you could go back in history and spend a day with one person who would it be? Leonardo da Vinci, but I don't speak Italian, so we'd have a communication problem. Hmmm, I'll go with my favorite painter, Ivan Albright. Well, I would have also really liked to have gotten to spend a day with my grandfather who passed away before I was born.
What is the one thing you lost, sold or threw away that you wish you could have back? My bike from Chicago. I miss it. I should've shipped it here, but I didn't. I'm really nostalgic about that bike, it was a road bike, manufactured by Giant in the 80s, nice colors, great frame. Together, we travelled all over Chicago.
What is your one most important contribution to this world. I try to be good to people. I try to spread positive energy, hehe, please disregard the previous post!
What is your one hidden talent that nearly no one knows about? I'm really a duckbill platypus, people never realize this talent.
What is your most cherished possession? My glasses or contacts. They let me see the world!
What one person influenced your life the most when growing up? Other than family, I'd have to say Michael Jordan. Seriously. I loved the guy's will, his determination, his work ethic. Sounds trite, but it's true. I felt that his work ethic was the key to his success, and in turn I always knew that no matter what, I wanted to bust my ass to improve myself in anything I did and just be the best that I could possibly be. Haha. I'm being truthful!
What one word describes you better than any other? I'll say 'ducky' for the hell of it.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Me
I've been tagged by Babybull41! I shall comply...
Anyone who wants to do the meme, go right ahead!!! I will not victimize any particular person this time.
- I really love that movie, Wedding Crashers, it's on tv all the time, and I never get sick of watching it. Makes me laugh every time.
- In actuality I'm not a human being, I'm really a duckbill platypus. I've been lying this whole time. Sorry.
- Did you know I was born in Belgium? Right near Waterloo, hmmm, the location of Napoleon's greatest defeat. I'm not Belgian though. I'm French/American.
- I could benchpress a million pounds. Of course, that was before I got sick.
- I love Spongebob Squarepants. And the Gooby Goober song too, that is just plain awesome.
Anyone who wants to do the meme, go right ahead!!! I will not victimize any particular person this time.

Christmas Tagged
So I've been tagged by Babs, she is getting her revenge on me.
[The tagee (me) lists 3 things that I would love to get for Christmas. Then I list 3 things that I definitely do not want to get for Christmas. Then I tag 5 friends and list their names. The one I tag needs to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes then tag 5 more people. When you tag someone you need to leave a comment that says "you've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments]
Three Things I Want For Christmas:
1. I will not go with the most obvious choice of high-octane weaponry. How bout world peace? Is that cool? Too abstract? They didn't mention if the things I wanted had to be things... If so, I'll just say I want a red panda.
2. Abstract thing I want: World domination. Concrete material thingy I want: some cool books.
3. Abstract thing I want: Happiness. Concrete material thingy I want: new pair of sunglasses.
Three Things I Don't Want For Christmas:
1. Duckbill Platypuses taking over the world.
2. More illness. Well, I know I'm ill, but actually in both senses. So it evens out?
3. World domination... I thought about this and realized it's way too much responsibility.
My victims:
