Postal Theft

Since I haven't posted for a while, and can't think of anything to post ( I have two on hold, being undatable and turning 30, but that one's for my birthday coming up), I'm going to steal this from Mark and SassyB. (They were tagged, and I don't know what that means, BTW, WTF is a meme?)

10 Years Ago I was:

• Working for American Express, just created a new position saving the company tens of thousands of dollars, and paid like a clerk, my first experience of the corporate world (BASTARDS)
• Had yet to see R.E.M. live, but bought 7 of the 9 available albums including Monster, a grunge album about sex, a turn around from Automatic For the People, a folk album about death
• Almost 20, still hadn't been drinking (waited until 21, can you believe that?!?)
• Attending ASU, part time
• No dates
  

5 Years Ago I was:

• Still working for American Express in desktop support with the aforementioned Mark and SassyB
• Had seen R.E.M. 8 times, but only once in Phoenix (Las Vegas, LA-2, Irvine, Moutain View-2 (CA bay area), Denver)
• Almost 25, starting to feel old halfway through it. Found alcohol, liked it.
• Attending University of Phoenix (BTW, still not done)
• No dates

1 Year Ago I was:

• Working for Shamrock Foods, after getting laid off from Amex in 2002, cut as a contractor from IBM (at Amex) in 2003, and quitting the hideous phone support position there. Thought about going back to Amex to get my 5 weeks of vacation.
• Working on a trip to see R.E.M. 5 times in 3 weeks (LA, Santa Barbara, Irvine, then New York and Connecticut), for my 14th-18th times seeing them.
• Almost 29, feeling very old
• No school
• No dates

Yesterday I was:

• Tired as all hell from the weekend (had a bachelor party at my house)
• Bitching about my fantasy football team
• Hoping I get to talk to that girl I like (didn't happen)
• Listened to music at work (benefits of being in a back room, turned up the speakers)

5 Snacks I enjoy the most:

• Cold Pizza
• Starbust (especially cherry, then strawberry, then cherry and lemon together)
• Tootsie rolls
• Cinnamon sugar graham crackers
• Slice of cheddar cheese

5 Songs I know all the words to:

• It's the End of the World As We Know it (and I feel fine) - R.E.M. (some people don't even know the whole title!) + 90% of the rest of the R.E.M. catalog
  
• 75% of all Pearl Jam songs
• 66% of Neil Young songs
• 75% of The Beatles catalog
• Too many other various ones

5 Ideal Places for running away to:

• New York City - but only with a ton of cash
• Six Flags Magic Mountain (this should have the sign "Happiest Place on Earth"
• Las Vegas - with aforementioned ton of cash
• Empty desert with a guitar
• Forest with a guitar

5 Items You'll never see me wear:

• A real suit (Dockers with a shirt and tie is the closest I come)
• Sweater (except hockey jerseys which are called "sweaters")
• Designer jeans (I guess Levi's isn't designer)
• Gold necklace (don't like anything around my neck)
• And of course, a speedo

5 Biggest Joys in Life:

• Music
• Friends and Family
• Hockey (playing and watching)
• Sports (watching)
• Music

3 Favorite Toys:

• My guitars & drums (I guess that should be musical instruments)
  
• My Computer
• iPod
