7 x 7 x Me x Me
Even though Tamar knows that I am not fond of the meme gig, she tagged me anyway. Now most folks know me as a stubborn cuss, but I’ve also got this soft, maleable streak when a nice lady like Tamar asks for something. So this one time only, I will play along and try to prolong both the purpose and spirit of the 7 x 7 Meme. Never again will I participate…at least until the next pretty face asks me to…
Seven things to do before I die:
1. Laugh 2. Cry 3. Love 4. Feel 5. Care 6. Live 7. Feel no pain
Seven things I cannot do:
1. Lie 2. Cheat 3. Steal 4. Loathe (except for Bush and his abominable crewmen) 5. Understand Microsoft’s Exchange Server 6. Pass for teenage 7. Sing soprano (not with this contra-bass voice)
Seven things that attract me to (…)
… dark chocolate:
1. It is the best thing I ever ate 2. Beats the hell out of broccoli 3. I heard it is nutritious 4. Melts in your mouth 5. Beats the hell out of whatever is in second place 6. Readilly available at prices I can almost afford 7. Something about the erotic allure of Lady Godiva riding naked down Main Street on a white steed…
Seven things I say most often:
1. Bullshit! 2. What th’ hell? 3. Hello/Goodbye 4. What th’ hell is Bill Gates smoking out there in Redmond? 5. How’z my baby dog? (When arriving home and Chaeli the cocker spaniel excitedly greets and slobbers all over me.) 6. Brain-fart 7. Bullshit!
Seven books (or series) that I love:
1. ATLAS SHRUGGED – Ayn Rand 2. A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME – Stephen Hawking 3. IDEAS AND OPINIONS – Albert Einstein 4. FOUNDATION series and others by Issac Asimov 5. DUNE series by Frank Herbert (Not the movie - it sucked!) 6. Anything by Garrison Keillor 7. DEADLY SIN series by Lawrence Sanders (The only mystery/drama fiction I’ve ever liked.)
Seven movies I watch over and over again (or would if I had the time):
I have never seen a movie that I would want to watch over and over again. That is one addiction/affliction I never understood or developed. Seven all-time favorites that I have seen more than once, viewings usually separated by years, (in no particular order) are:
1. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD 2. NOTTING HILL 3. THE LAST SAMURAI 4. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA 5. THE DIRTY DOZEN 6. THE LION IN WINTER 7. All the STAR TREK movies
Seven people I want to join in too:
Since I don’t normally do this meme thing myself, I am not comfortable with tagging others to follow along. If one or more of my many thousands of readers wish to pick up the torch and run with it, they have my blessings and encouragement to do so.
Tamar, I hope my responses were intensely adequate enough and in no way embarrassed or inconvenienced you.

Winston, I laughed the whole way through feeling your reluctance. I, too felt reluctant this time that I wrote my meme! I appreciate your answer to my invitation though. What fun to know the seven things that you say most often. In actual fact, I did not expect any of you to do this Meme … just had fun tagging ya’all!
Well, I’m not crazy about doing these Meme things either….really; but I have to admit it was kinda fun finding out some of these little things about you Winston. I promise NEVER to pass this SECRET info about you on to anyone else….they would have to torture me…..MY LIPS ARE SEALED. He, he, he.
I confess to a passionate taste for chocolate covered cherries.
I did this a couple of weeks ago when tagged by Pandora but didn’t tag anyone else - just left it open. Three people actually jumped on it. Who knew?
These memes can be very revealing, can’t they? And I always enjoy silently saying “me too!” at the ones I share.
New Discovery and Yes… Another Meme
I often find jewels when looking through my Blog’s referal stats, here is one of them…. Great Blog, go check them out. Now for the Meme, which I will spare my buddies the tagging, but please trackback if you take…
Our movie lists would be nearly identical. And I do love the Deadly Sin series from Lawrence Sanders…
Winston, off topic, I read your comment on Rainy Day Thoughts about marriages that never should have happened. A very interesting topic that I think I will delve into on my blog. Why do we enter marriages like this? Did we see those red flags a’blowin’ and just ignore them? How long do we suffer and what sparks our liberation?
I would have got you if she hadn’t….
