when I started this blog five years ago, I was a pet sitter and the name animal-crackers made sense. now I'm a stay-at-home-dad and freelance writer, but rather than confuse everyone by getting a different blog, it's just easier to keep posting things here.

Five Things
It's weird how these things make their way through the land of Blog. I took it from:
• Andree who took it from
• Betty. She thieved it from
• Mamma Zoe who stole it from
• Hunterpoo. Who knows where she found it.
So here we go.
Ten years ago: I was 23 and living in Eden, N.C. a town desperate to become something other than the dunghole it was. My friends were a bunch of 19 year olds I had met the previous summer while working at Pizza Hut.
Five years ago: I was 28 and only six months into the worst job EVER. Also I had just been excepted into UT's new Evening MBA program.
One year ago: I was 32 and beginning my new weekend job as a pet sitter. It was either that or bag groceries.
Yesterday: I was determined to keep Josh healthy enough to go to school today. He'd been cooped up inside for five days with a sinus infection.
Today: Josh went to school! I cleaned house and replied to a Realtor who wants me to design her Web site.
Tomorrow: I need to get Josh out of the house. Maybe we'll go to the bookstore.
Five snacks I enjoy:
1) Yoplait yogurt
2) Apple pie a la mode
3) Mixed nuts
4) Corn chips
5) Strawberry milkshakes
Five bands that I know the lyrics to most of their songs:
1) Midnight Oil
2) The Jimi Hendrix Experience
3) Foo Fighters
4) Pearl Jam
5) Nirvana
Five things I would do with $100,000,000:
1) Buy homes/condos in NYC, Italy, Alaska, Sydney and Costa Rica.
2) Buy Andree anything she wants
3) Pay off the debts for family members I liked
4) Buy a boat. A big boat.
5) Invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securites (because it's gonna get ugly folks)
Five locations I'd like to run away to:
1) Italy
2) Switzerland
3) Alaska
4) Australia
5) Hawaii
Five things I like doing:
1) Painting
2) Reading
3) Singing
4) Taking care of Josh and Andree
5) Writing fiction
Five things I'd never wear:
1) A fraternity/society ring
2) Speedos
3) A toupee
4) Contacts
5) A watch
Five TV shows I like:
1) Battlestar Galactica (the new one)
2) Desperate Housewives
3) Law and Order SVU
4) Vegas
5) Jimmy Neutron
Five famous people I'd like to meet:
1) Kurt Vonnegut
2) Stephen King
3) I can't think of anyone else at the moment.
Five biggest joys at the moment:
1) Playing hide-and-seek with Josh
2) Learning how to design Web sites
3) Writing my first novel
4) Cooking on our new grill
5) Watching cartoons
Five favorite 'toys':

2) Digital camera
3) Grill
4) New set of paint brushes
5) Air conditioner
