Dig in Deep

Heath tagged me. This is supposed to be about five weird habits I have. So here goes.

Blogging – I enjoy blogging, and I have a lot of thoughts I want to share, but the weird part is I don’t post nearly as often as I should. But you probably already knew that.

Commenting – I have a knack for posting snarky comments on other people’s blogs. Right now, particularly Josh’s. If I agree with someone a lot, I rarely comment. If I don’t agree with someone at all, I usually stop reading. But if I am pretty close to agreeing with someone and just differ on key points, I end up commenting frequently. And yes, I tend to be that way in real life, too.

Technology – I have what is commonly known as “gear lust.” I love new gadgets, technologies, software, etc. This applies to my passion for music (Line 6 rocks!), computers, gaming, and entertainment. Fortunately I have a wife who helps me rein all of that in and keep it sensible.

Coke – in the South we do not use the term “pop.” Like Q-Tip, Band-Aid, and Kleenex, we say “Coke” around here to refer to any dark-colored carbonated beverage – except Pepsi, which many in the Atlanta area equate with poison. In any case, I drink a good bit of it. Probably too much. Whenever I get around to really trying to lose weight, I know I’ll have to cut down. Probably doing that alone will help me lose a pound a week. Vanilla Coke is my favorite – which to my delight they just brought back!

Sinus – I’ve had sinus troubles for the last several years, including a sinus surgery a couple of years ago. Which helped things tremendously – I’ve had an average of two sinus infections a year since the surgery, down from about eight per year before that, and they’re much less severe now when I do get them. But one way I keep it in check is to rinse my sinuses. I know it sounds weird, but it’s actually quite refreshing, and really helps to keep everything moist and cleaned out. If you have sinus trouble I highly recommend it.

All right, so now is the part where I tag other people. So I’ll pass the torch on to Josh, Pat, and Kevin. Don’t worry guys, no pressure, nothing bad will happen if you don’t pass it on.
