Interviewed
Jeana posted a call for an "interview", and gave me five questions to answer. My turn to answer, and the rules to continue on are posted below:
1. Could you be confused with Rick Dees of the Rick Dees top 40 music countown? Would you want to be.The Official rules of the Interview-Game
No, and no - but I do have a decent radio voice. I worked as a DJ at a local AM Christian station here in town during college, and most of my "southern drawl accent" went away. Still the best job I ever had. But I've got a feeling that Rick Dees is heading to the end of his illurtious career, or he's possessing the soul of Ryan Seacrest - either way, hopefully won't last much longer.
2. I notice you have a picture of your kids(?) on your blog standing next to sponge-bob. Is spongebob gay? should we be launching political campaigns against fictional, imaginary characters?
Yes, that's a photo of our kids, and yes, it's SpongeBob and Patrick, and no, they're completely straight & hetero, in a cartoony, bright yellow and pink kinda way. As for "political campaigns against fictional characters", by the time the elections actually roll around each cycle, I get the feeling it's all fictional anyway - don't you?
3. What was the last adventure you went on... and was it rambling?
Living the oh-so-adventurous life of dad and husband and employee, I'd have to say the "adventure" I'm currently on - where we're getting involved at a new church, doing leadership type things, getting ready to lead/facilitate a small group again - all that is a very rambling journey. The adventurous part was compounded as we were attacked by the characters from H.R. Puff'n'Stuff while... oh never mind. Not as funny as I thought.
4. What are you currently reading? Would you recommend it?
I'm always in the middle of at least four or five books, but I'll keep this to two that I'm really enjoying right now - THE COFFEEHOUSE GOSPEL, Matthew Paul Turner, and THE LAST WORD AND THE WORD AFTER THAT by Brian McLaren. Yes, I'd recommend them to anyone wanting to be challenged, stretched, embarassed, transformed, belittled, humbled, etc.
5. Please give the definition of "blurfing".
I found "blurfing" on someone else's site, so I'm not really sure who started it. It's "BLog sURFING" all squinched together, and it's what makes the world go 'round.
1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying "interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions
6. I will answer reasonable follow up questions if you leave a comment.

Interview me
Interviewing Porkchop:
1) Why the name "Porkchop"?
2) Being a young professional, what excites you most about growing old: retirement, wrinkles, or dealing with young whipper snappers trying to take away your job?
3) What really ticks you off everytime?
4) Who was your "first love", where is he now, and do you even care?
5) What is your theory on why the ozone layer is shrinking, and do you think Hollywood's captivation with hair gel has anything to do with it?
1) Why the name "Porkchop"?
Because, I have porky chops. Or chubby cheeks. Or a delightful baby face, depending on who you ask. Actually, a blog reader coined that name, and it just kinda works, for now.
2) Being a young professional, what excites you most about growing old: retirement, wrinkles, or dealing with young whipper snappers trying to take away your job?
Being able to lord seniority over the young upstarts. Which I am right now. And retiring and eating twinkies for life.
3) What really ticks you off everytime?
Lots of things. That is going to be my next list, 100 Pet Peeves. Driving slow, people who pick their noses, cold french fries, lukwarm milk, guys who don't have enough spine to ask you out.
4) Who was your "first love", where is he now, and do you even care?
My first love, was Phillip... I don't remember his last name. Three years old, kissing in Sunday School behind the door. I was a real charmer and the boys loved me. Don't ask what happened.
In a very ironic twist of fate, I believe he is now joining the Marines, but could not be sure. I haven't seen him since I was told it is not appropriate to kiss boys. You would be shocked to find out how long I believed that. And no, Porkchop the cold hearted does not care.
5) What is your theory on why the ozone layer is shrinking, and do you think Hollywood's captivation with hair gel has anything to do with it?
I believe that the ozone layer is shrinking in horror since plain hair gel is the most disgusting thing next to mousse and of course, bear grease.
Am I too late?
Sounds fun. Interview me. :)
Julie
never too late!
Interviewing Julie:
1) Homeschooling is one of your passions. What advice would you have to someone considering it as an alternative to public or private school?
2) What is your favorite flavor M&M and why?
3) What is your favorite food that no one else you know likes?
4) Who has been the biggest influence on your life as a Christian?
5) What's in your CD player right now? Are you playing it, and if not, why not?
