Shameless Self Awareness

Hey, my blog is almost a year old! Yeah, I know, so what? I don't know. Below is an entry from that first month of blogging about a year ago with slightly updated information added paranthetically.

Who is Texas T-Bone? (March 2003)

The one or two people (now the 3 or 4 people) who have read my wonderful witticisms the past couple of days might be thinking, who is this Texas T-Bone guy? The following is kind of a "Wednesday Five" (it's actually Monday now) to help you, whoever you are, get to know me a little better. Hope it's not cheating that I also wrote the questions!

1. Tell me about yourself, T.
I'm a 29-year-old male, (Uh, 30-year-old) married, one son, live in Fort Worth and work in advertising for a large department store chain, but not the one you think (I ditched that monkey stand for a job as editor of a weekly newspaper).

2. Why Texas T-Bone?
Thought I was being clever, but a search on Google proved that there are many clever people in the world going by the name of T-Bone. There are even a few Texas T-Bones out there. Considering that, though, I had already left comments on about 30 blogs under the name Texas T-Bone. I'm actually a native of Virginia, but something like Virginia Ham sounds too feminine and doesn't give people a sense of where I live now. Plus, my given name does start with T. (By now, I've left comments on at least 1,000 blogs, but none lately. Sue me. I'm also No. 1 on many search engines under "Texas T-Bone.")

3. If you were a performing circus animal, what would you be?
Flippy the Wonder Ferret (That's still pretty accurate)

4. What are your passions?
I love the outdoors – running, biking and someday soon I hope, kayaking. My family is up there, too, but I like them better when they're outdoors. Also, photography, road trips and long walks on the beach – in the rain. (I still want a kayak, but maybe a two-person one so the Cutlet can ride with me.)

5. What does the world need most?
A nap. (Some things never change).

Happy Monday, one and all!
