There are few people in this world who, by applying a fraction of their mental powers, could turn me into a cinder. From a distance. Any distance. Tracy Lynn is one of those people. So, having been tagged with a meme, I can do nothing but comply.

1) What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was two years into owning my own company. It was the dot.com era, and things were hoppin’. I was also hiding pints of vodka in my desk at work and my drawers at home. I was smoking two packs a day. I lived in Brooklyn, NY. Carter was alive. I only had one child.

2) What are five tings on my to-do list for today?
- Call IKEA to have them move the delivery for my new office furniture from 7-11 to 9-1.
- Try and recruit some excellent NYC actionscript coders
- Watch tasteful lesbian pornography
- Secure general liability insurance for the new office.
- Visit the pharmacologist about changing ADHD meds, ’cause Focalin sucks ass.

3) Snacks I enjoy.
Cheese. Oranges. Ice cream sundaes. Raw vegetables. Maggie.

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
First, I’d call my AA Sponsor. Then… I’d add one bedroom and one bathroom to our house. I’d buy a Miata. I’d buy an apartment for my brother-in-law, and pay for my nephew’s college. (My brother is rich enough to pay for my nieces’ college, and even if here wasn’t, he’s too much of a dick to accept the help.) I’d buy a house in Vermont on 5 acres or more of land. I’d buy an apartment in NYC, right on Central Park. Then, I’d sit down really carefully and think about how I can best do good in the world. Oh. I’d also get my own radio show somehow.

5) Three of my bad habits.
- I have a really messy desk.
- I tend to make whatever joke I think of (unless kids are around).
- I sometimes bite my nails. Ick.

6) 5 Places I have lived.
- Highland Park, NJ
- Chappaqua, NY
- New Bunsick, NJ
- Bridgewater, NJ
- Brooklyn, NY

7) 5 jobs I have had.
- Busboy
- Waiter
- Relocation Liaison for AT&T
- Mickey Mouse
- Serial Entrepreneur

8) 5 Bloggers that I want to know more about.
As much as I hate to risk the wrath of Tracy Lynn, I’m gonna stick to my guns and not tag anyone. PLEASE DON’T HURT ME.

Love to all. Even you, the ever-so-tempting mom I ran into.

  1. So you like Andrew Blake videos too? Always fun to learn new things about my favorite bloggers.

  2. I took care of one of the things on your to do list for you. Sorry it wasn’t the coders…or the insurance.

    Mickey Mouse? Do tell.

  3. heh, Kizz knows how to get your attention.

    yes, more about the Mickey

  4. Fear not, dude, for I only wanted to know about you and so could care less if anyone else fills this out.

    And I have promised to only use my powers for good. Of course it’s my idea of good, but still.

  5. If you were to become a billionaire, please, promise me that you would hire me to be your assistant or walk your dogs or smth. I think that would be awesome!

    /P.S. You listed Maggie as a snack!

  6. ITS, I love that Maggie is listed as a snack Rich enjoys. Seems awfully flattering, don’t you think?

  7. Excellent list.
