By Popular Demand...

Okay, at least two people have tagged me with this little meme-thingy, so I guess I should do it. And for those of you expecting a more Neo-like post, I am working on one. It will come. Until then...

Isn't it funny how the Dems have taken to using the "if you like war so much, why don't you join the army" argument? I thought that logic only reigned supreme in middle school, where suggestions of "well if you love it so much, why don't you marry it" are considered to be high wit. Interestingly, I have yet to find a Liberal who was willing to go to Med School and dedicate his life to providing free health care, or a Democrat who would gladly stop breathing so as to protect the environment from all that pesky Carbon Dioxide. Seems like they're afraid of playing their own game...

Now on to the meme!

TOP SEVEN

Seven things I plan to do before I die:
1) Fly on an airplane
2) Write an Op/Ed column for a major newspaper
3) Meet Serendipitous and Giggle Fritz
4) Win a tennis tournament
5) Go to college
6) Run for office?
7) Finish this meme

Seven things I can do:
1) Wiggle my ears
2) Play tennis
3) Carry on an intelligent conversation with adults
4) Convince people I'm Australian (or English, or Irish)
5) Drive (at least, I have my license)
6) A Chewbacca impression
7) Watch Anne of Green Gables without once questioning my masculinity

Seven things I cannot do:
1) Eat with chopsticks
2) Logarithms
3) Sing
4) Draw (or do anything else artistic, for that matter)
5) Eat Sushi
6) Keep from acting like a self-centered idiot around girls I like.
7) Flap my arms and fly to the moon

Seven things that attract me to the opposite sex (assuming godliness is a given):
1) Looks (yeah, I said it, and any guy who doesn't say it is a liar)
2) A good attitude toward others
3) Compassion and understanding
4) She must be trustworthy
5) Modesty, but not legalism. Perhaps "good taste" would be a better term.
6) Ability to understand me, tolerate me, and also keep me in check.
7) Willingness to be herself, and to let me be myself

Seven things I say most often:
1) "I didn't do it!"
2) "Well, I thought it was funny..."
3) "Hi!" (in a strange, Stitch-like voice, only higher-pitched. I say this to my friends at random points in the conversation, just to get on their nerves)
4) "I don't know"
5) "Wait..."
6) Like
7) "Yeah, I love you too" (after someone cracks on me)

Seven celebrity crushes (you did not just ask me this...):
1) Alexis Bledel
2) If only Lindsay Lohan weren't such a... foul individual.
3) Uh... I dunno... Alexis Bledel again?
4) I tend to not think about these things... Renee Olstead.
5) Remind me why I'm doing this again?
6) I don't know of any more...
7) See above

Seven people who should do this (oh boy, sorry guys):
1) Jennifer
2) Laura
3) Ryan
4) Eric
5) I'm so sorry, MonicaR...
6) Aha! I say you should, Loneamigo!
7) Book-Bound Idiot

I'm done! I'm actually done!!! Okay, so I know it wasn't a typical post, but at least I'm giving you something to read now! I'll try to get started on another post...

Be blessed!
Neo

AH!! Neo you make me want to cry! Why must I add meaningless clutter to my blog?
Gosh!
The nerve!!

When this planet still had trees all that Carbon Dioxide wasn't a problem.

So what the statement you refer to is saying is put your money where your mouth is. What if your preacher at church talked about how bad homos, drugs and sex were but then got arrested coked up, having sex in a gay porn theatre? He would then loose all credibility in what he was saying wouldn't he. Now, if you continued to believe and follow everything this man still taught; welcome to the Republican Party.

Doesn't it scare you that our government is willing to send everyone but their kids to this war? Doesn't it scare you that the decisions they make don't affect them at all, well except for all the ones that had stock in Halliburton or came from oil money; they have all been affected but in a good way.

Please put your money where your mouth is, Toad, and go to Med School.

"What if your preacher at church talked about how bad homos, drugs and sex were but then got arrested coked up, having sex in a gay porn theatre?

Sure, he'd lose personal credibility (as well as his ministry), but would that make his claims any less true?

And whether or not he'd lose credibility, your example has nothing to do with the war, or my support of it. You wish to establish that the only way to support a war is to fight in it, which is on par with the juvenile assertion that the only way to "love" something is to marry it (or that the only kind of love is romantic love). Having trouble understanding? Let me help you out...

KID 1: "I love spaghetti."

KID 2: "Well, why don't you marry it?"

Sound familiar? Let's change the terms just slightly...

REPUBLICAN: "I support the war."

KID 2 (or Leftist): "Well, why don't you fight in it?"

Understand now? The "why don't you fight in it" irrationality has nothing to do with credibility; it is merely a cop-out for people whose minds never made it out of middle school.

well, fine then! (actually, the stitch thing is kinda funny. I can do it too!)

P.S.It's funny that you mention Alexis because I met her a couple of months ago and she asked me if I knew any good boys, and I mentioned your names.

She thinks you're awesome.

Toadie - you've come to a battle of wits unarmed again. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

LOLLL!

Ser,

I'm only human. Besides, what guy in his right mind doesn't? :-)



Laura,

Go repent; God says it's bad to lie.

What's with the tags going around? I was tagged twice this week....hmm...must be a conspiracy.

In response to your last comment on my blog... you're not supposed to be attracted to girls until you're ready to get married! (Well, that's my opinion. If I do happen to find a guy attractive, then he's too distracting so it's easier just to ignore them anyway since none of them know I exist except my own brothers! Whew...)

She's that girl off of Tuck Everlasting, isn't she?

Ya finally posted again! Yay!

I doubt you can convince me you're an Australian. However, I can convince people I'm English or American, so there is a possibility. Still, record your best accent and post it! I love doing accents.

My brother can wiggle his ears and he wants to know if you can wiggle them seperately as well.

Neo, my Geometry teacher put your blog in her Favorites...I just told her you had music on it that was cool...my teachers are weird...they scare me sometimes...

Neo, you need to post more often. I used to love reading your blog... When there was something to read! :)

Even I posted recently... Which is a big deal. :)

Finished it, you can read it on my blog.
