Friday Five for August 8, 2003

I have no interest in these questions … there is very little I can do with them … so sad, sorry. 🙁 Anyways …

1. What’s the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?

Hmmm … I went to a golf resort about a month or so ago in the northern portion of my home state for an extended weekend. Boring, I know.

2. What’s the most bizarre/unusual thing that’s ever happened to you while traveling?

Geezuz … there’s no way I could even begin to identify the most bizarre/unusual thing that’s ever happened to me while traveling … ’cause seriously … if you don’t know by now … I’m sorta mischevious and can find ways to laugh in the strangest situatioooons … and I’m a huge people watcher/mocker … so when I’m travelling … well, I’m even more likely to get goofy … and notice/experience bizarre/unusual things … I expect it and enjoy it. I’d have to say the odds are that something totally bizarre occurred to Shaft and I got into during one of our excursions, just because the majority of such trips in my life have included him. If not with him, then something with my college buddies with whom I keep in touch. Though my dad, brother and I have had more than a couple of interesting incidents in our travels … Bro usually things of them (he’s really good at coming up with stuff), I’m usually the one that says … “Hehe, kewl, let’s do it”, and Dad usually is the one that tosses out the token objectiooon saying “No, you can’t do that” and then he stands back and just laughs his ass off. For the record, I got my laugh from my dad, his is the most enjoyable laugh around. 🙂

3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?

Tatooine … I inherited an interest in a cave there and I’d like to check it out. Though if we’re staying terra firma … then I’d really like to spend an extended time in Australia, just hanging out and touring the scene … I’d say 6 months would work for me … long enough to get some temp work and just blend. I would also like to go Indiana Jones and check out some pyramids in Egypt and desert locales, and of course, continue my blasphemous research by going to Rome and Vatican City and fact-checking some biblical issues and inconsistencies I’ve noted.

UPDATE: I forgot … I really want to fly to England for a long weekend, drink beer and laugh in a pub for pretty much the entire time, while staying nearly orgasmic for the duration of the trip as I’m totally infatuated with those scrumptuous British accents.

4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?

The only mode of transportation I really have a problem with is on a ship. (You know … it’s that whole fear of water thing I’ve got going … remember what happened on my last transatlantic voyage.)

Though in order of priorities:

I enjoy plain jet rides (lol) … I like the whole airport scene and it’s quicker. Plus I like it when security asks me to remove my shoes, sorta works as a quick exhibitionist fix.

Cars … I drive and ride in them a great deal. I enjoy it and make it fun, I can talk on the phone, eat, drink coffee and water, mock other people on the road, sing along to the radio, and basicially with my satellite radio, it’s almost like I have a television in the car now. I just wish it could be a little quicker.

Trains … I’ve never ridden on a train before … but I’d like to try. Seems like it would be fun, plus I think it’d be the most comfortable mode of transportation to use while getting laid.

5. What’s the next place on your list to visit?

I really don’t have anything on my list. I’m doing some face whacking in a few weeks, and that’s in Chicago, but I really don’t consider transition associated travel a true “visit”. I’m in the mood for a three/four day romp in Vegas, so there’s a good chance that could be the next trip on my list if I actually have the time to pull it off (I’m not a gambler, but I’ve been known to consume a drink or two, and it’s a great place to just people watch, check out architectural wonders and be silly.)
