The reason I am here after saying what I said in the last post is because I was tagged by Tequila girl. Here's the deal:
This is how it works: Each player of this game starts with the "6 weird things about you". In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.Here goes my 6: (in no specific order)

1. Whenever the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play I have a routine I go through in order to get ready to watch the game. I lay out a Buccaneers T-shirt and my Jersey on the bed, put on the T-shirt and rub the logo, Put on the jersey, touch the logo and all the patches and then put my Buccaneers "Mardi Gras" logo necklace on. All throughout the game, I rub the necklace for luck. In the past 20 years it has worked once.
2. I used to lay in bed on Sundays and read the paper, every word, from front to back as I ate my breakfast and watched "This week with George Stephanopoulis," "Meet the Press" and "Fox News Sunday." Then I'd turn it over to Fox's NFL Sunday show while dressing for the game.
3. I'm happier in the kitchen cooking than anywhere else and doing anything else in my life with the exception of photography. Even though I only eat one meal a day most days, I could cook for armies. Also, even though I am a damned good cook, I rarely eat my own product. I just like getting lost in the processes of cooking and shooting pics. It calms me somehow and makes the rest of the world disappear while I'm doing it.
4. I have a huge DirectTV package including HBO and Stars. I also have extended basic cable but my TV very rarely leaves the Food Network.
5. I would rather be off by myself than with other people. I don't enjoy company or being around others much and have more online friends than I have in real life. If I didn't have to celebrate the holidays and be around cheerful happy people ever again? I'd be a very happy man. I know others think that is not healthy, but fuck it ... it works for me.
6. During the holidays I could survive on Ritz crackers stacked with sliced cheese, bread and butter pickle chunks and smoked oysters with black and green olives on the side ... oh and cream cheese with pepper jelly too. Yum.
Not tagging anyone. Tag yourselves if you want ... or not ... whatever.
