This blog prompt is about music which sounds like fun.
This question is tough because I cannot pin one restaurant down. I am a big mom-and-pop restaurant type of guy. Diners are my favorite places to eat because most of them serve breakfast all day long. However, I do like ethnic places like Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese. Lately I have been finding out more about Korean. I like food that is seasoned but not spicy so that is a consideration. There are several places I enjoy around my city that serve good food at good prices.
I love stupid humor. The type I laughed at when I was a teenager. Dad jokes are always great. Will Ferrell and his movies makes me chuckle. Minions make me laugh and laugh. Those dinosaur meme videos are something I will always laugh at. My preferred humor is more wet than dry. As they say laughter is a great medicine. We all need to laugh more.
The answer to this question is… If you are reading this, I ask why?
My life doesn’t seem to merit an autobiography. So I would ask, why are you reading this. I am flattered by the interest, but isn’t there something else you could be doing with your time. My life is pretty boring. We all have our stories, but mine in retrospect wasn’t all that exciting. Sure, I have a blog, which is a chronicle of my life and what is going on in my weird head that is wired differently. I have no plans to pen the story of me.
Friends, I do want to say, thanks for your time and attention to my blog and a most eclectic compilation of posts.
If I could be anyone for a day, I would be Tony Khan, who is the CEO and President of All Elite Wrestling among other things. Part of his duties is to run the wrestling promotion and to produce the matches that are featured on the weekly TV shows “Dynamite” and “Collision”.
Tony is by all accounts a hard worker who cares for those who work for him. I would enjoy being a professional wrestling matchmaker for a day and see what matches I could come up with. Feedback from the fans is something he is mindful of and that would be a tricky part of the job.
One cool thing about being in his position is that he gets to work with some of the greatest professional wrestlers on the planet. He is a fascinating man who I think I would get along with, we are both nerdy and enjoy things that are unique.
When I was growing up the 886 prefix to my phone number was in my mind at the time a status symbol. It represented the community I grew up in, and we were a little “snobby” about it.
Fast-forward to today, it is a memory and those prefixes are going away due to people giving up their landlines. My youthful snobbery has gone, given over to growing up.
Your phone number is important because It’s how people can call and text you. It’s how we connect to the greater world. In my professional experience I can say there is more texting and less talking on the phone happens these days. Some folks are giving up smartphones in order to go back to voice conversation.
I remember the most famous phone number growing up was 867-5309 which was a song by Tommy Tutone. My favorite song about the telephone was “Hanging on the Telephone” by the group Blondie.
Yep, to make all that happen you need some digits that can connect you near and far. Reach out and touch someone as the old AT&T Bell System commercial once said. If someone calls you for help, be willing to say yes.
