Ok. I’m not entirely sure what this is. Or what the word even means. Is it Italian? Anyway, a fellow blogger has “tagged” me with a meme. And from what I gather, it is a challenge of sorts. Or maybe more like a dare to see if I will follow through. I don’t know. I’m probably way off with this. I will Google it later.
Anyway, this individual who tagged me is such a wholesome, innocent person, that there really isn’t anything risque about the tagging. All I have to do is list 5 things I consider fabulous. I think this sort of thing is reserved for girls and that is why I am not expected to comply. Screw that. I’m comfortable in my manhood. Let me tell you what I think is fabulous:
- Tickets to a San Antonio Spurs game. Not much more fabulous than that! But I can’t use that word anymore. From here on out “fabulous” will be substituted with “Bad-ass”.
- Sweet tea. I abondoned drinking all forms of soda in 1999 (no joke, long story). So there is nothing non-alcoholic more bad-ass than sweet tea.
- HD Television. HD is bad-ass! I can’t even look at regular television anymore. How did I ever live without HD?!? Seriously. Everything looks so blurry and pixelated. If you haven’t jumped on the HD band wagon, I’ve got 2 words for you. “ALL ABOARD!”
- Fantasy Football. Despite the fact I am having a crappy year (again), there is just something so bad-ass about beating your friends and stomping on their hopes to win the league. Ah, yes. It’s good to celebrate a victory with a tall cold glass of sweet tea.
- Thanksgiving. I saved this one for last because what makes Thanksgiving so bad-ass is the moment to stop, look around and appreciate your family and loved ones, and thank God for how bad-ass they are. And turkey legs and pumpkin pie have a certain “bad-assness” about them.
So, that’s that. If that’s not the most fabulous bad-ass list possible, then I don’t know what is. In fact, I can go on, and on. But all that is what’s apparently on my mind right now.
So I was on my way to look up “memes” on Wikipedia, but I guess they are doing some maintenance or something. Oh well. Maybe it’s better if I don’t know.
