Mike Cline, childhood friend, college roommate, and part-time adviser in all things theology and wedding planning, has tagged me for a meme.
I usually avoid these kinds of things, but I’m bored at work and don’t really have anything more important to do. So, even though I don’t know anyone else with an active blog besides Mike and Kyle Scott (who Mike has already tagged), I’ll give it a go for sheer self-entertainment.
Rules To The Meme:
1. Link to the person who tagged you (check, see above).
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself (see below).
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them (this isn’t going to happen).
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog (see above).
6. Let the tagger know when your entry has been posted.
Random Things:
1. Since starting at Starbucks I’ve been required to sample many of their signature drinks. And, as is my M.O. (I went through a several-month stint when I drank Coke with Lime obsessively), I have become addicted to one drink in particular: a Venti, 4-pump, Iced Soy Chai Latte with 2 pumps Raspberry, 1 pump Vanilla, stirred, and light ice. Try it out sometime.
2. I finally realized I was old and uncool when I went into my local Urban Outfitters and couldn’t find an article of clothing I could either pull off or want to. I’ve turned into a Gap and J. Crew guy, and I go to bed a 10:30, so my days of being young and cool have ended at 24.
3. Another recent obsession: old clips on YouTube. I know it’s a cliche for my generation--looking up funny clips of weathermen cursing on live TV and similar distractions-- but my visits to the site are a little different. I spend hours looking up Bob Dylan interviews from the ‘60s, Martin and Lewis comedy acts, and Don Rickles roast performances from the ‘70s. I can’t get enough of that old stuff.
4. My freshman year of college, I was in the car with Mike Cline when he received his first speeding ticket. I had told him before that I had never seen a cop on the road we were traveling, and that I frequently drove 80-90 MPH. Later, I was awoken from my nap by a siren and flashing lights.
5. List of movies I saw in theaters this year, that I thought was worth the nine bucks: Michael Clayton, There Will Be , Juno, Get Smart (saw it twice), Iron Man, and Dark Knight. That’s it! I saw others, but they were mostly oversexualized, hyperviolent drivel. It kind of makes me sad that I can only go to the movies and enjoy it only a handful of times a year, now.
6. When I was younger I used to enjoy painting my little Lego men up to look like stars of the WWF and WCW (that’s professional wrestling to those not in-the-know). I would schedule Pay-Per-View events that pitted the wrestlers from one organization against the other, and then would act them out in a ring I made out of a shoe box. Years later, after I had grown out of the pro-wrestling phase (unfortunately, some Americans never do), the WWF bought out the WCW and held some events with the same matchups I used to create. But my outcomes were far superior.
Unfortunately, I have no one to tag. So I guess the buck stops here. It was fun while it lasted.

Urban Outfitters left me awhile back (or did I leave it?). I remember the last time I went into the store, feeling hip, excited to find a cool pair of recycled jeans marked up beyond their original worth.
Then Cassie burst my bubble, and let me know that I couldn't pull any of it off. As much as it stung, I knew it was true.
