I Wanted to be a Con Man

SoundBiteBlog meme’d me – so here goes…

Question 1: Who is your favorite Musical Artist?

No question – Joe Strummer and the Clash.

Loud and fast with a social conscience.

’nuff said.

Question 2: Who is my favorite Artist?

I’ve always been partial to the work of Northwest Native artists like Roy Henry Vickers.

That said, we have a lot of photography hanging on the walls of our home, my favorites being some prints by my friend Bennett Ho.

Question 3: Who is My Favorite Blogger?

My favorite blogger right now is my wife Amy who started a new blog recently called Portland Acupuncture Blog – I’m really proud of the work she’s put into it and it’s growing really quickly.

Question 4: If you could meet anyone (dead or alive), who would it be and what is interesting about them?

I’d like to meet Portland Timbers keeper Ray Burse. I’d ask him how he could have let in that weak goal versus the White Caps last week.

Question 5: What did I want to be when I grew up?

A Sea Captain like Godolphin James Burslem.

A Con Man like Godolphin Finney Burslem.

An Adventurer like Rollo Gillespie Burslem.

Question 6: What is the most interesting piece of Trivia that I know?

Uhh… pass. Need to dig out that Trivial Pursuit game.

Question 7: If you could live in any point of history when would it be and why?

London – May 8, 1945. That would have been an epic party.

Question 8: What is the most interesting job you’ve every had?

Goliath crane operater… OK – so it was only for a few minutes. But it was way cool.

    Weak Goal is the understatement of the year! He was too busy watching the lightnin'.

    Good stuff Joel. I just got the “you've been meme'ed” email also. I guess I'm going to have to put one of these post together as well. Although it's going to be hard to beat your most interesting job! :-)
