LARGETONY Blog

Just the other day I was going through some old posts to decide which ones I liked best so I could make a “best of” list (see the sidebar). I didn’t do this to toot my horn. I did it so that people who are new to the blog can get a look at some of what I talk about without having to wade through the junk. Anyway, in going back through the archives, I ran across a couple of memes. (None of them made the cut.) I thought, “Whatever happened to memes? Nobody does them anymore.” Which was sort of fine by me because I never really liked memes. Mostly because they were something you got “tagged” with by somebody else and you felt sort of obligated to perpetuate it.

Then, low and behold, Larry posted a meme today, which he apparantly stole from Curtis. Just like fruitcake and cock roaches, the meme survives! I have to admit I enjoyed reading it. Because there is a good side to memes in that if they ask good questions, they can shed new light on the author’s personality (as well as confirm everything you always suspected). And the thing is, they don’t have to be deep, philosophical questions. Just ones that bring about information that you might not have gotten otherwise.

Plus, for the author, it’s a quick and dirty way to toss out some 411 and fill a post in one fell swoop. Which is why I decided to do it, too….Yes, I’m going to do another meme. Even though I hate them. How dare you judge me!

1. How tall are you barefoot? 6′-3″

16. Full initials? ADW. (Tony is short for Anthony)
17. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment: I can’t believe I’m doing a damned meme. How come I can’t ever write decent posts anymore? I wish I could reach that spot in the middle of my back that is itching.

46. What song represents how you feel at the moment? I don’t know about at the moment, but this weekend I saw myself reflected in a store window and felt like I was looking not too bad. “The Girl From Ipanema” (sp?) came into my head. I know that sounds conceited, but everybody has moments when they feel good about how they look.
47. What song did you last hear? “Milkshake”. No, I do not own it. It was on a funny commerical on TV just now.
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”.
