Meme-ories...of the way we were....

Ok, apparently I’ve been tagged by akaqueenie.

Now, not being a blogger who plays by the rules – mostly because I don’t think anyone actually reads my blog, thusly, rendering me knowing the rules not necessary – I had no idea what any of this meant, until my wife informed me it meant I had to fill out the meme in which I’ve been tagged.

Of course, I didn’t really know what a meme was until the wife told me. what the fuck does meme stand for anyway? Moronic Exercise, Mindless Expression?

Four Jobs You've Had In Your Life

1. sales rep for large independent music distributor, selling CDs and DVDs to the store you probably shop in.
2. Local Music Buyer for a large retailer, for their Burlington, Vermont, and Chelsea, Manhattan, New York stores.
3. Sports reporter for a chain of small newspapers in Massachusetts.
4. Dishwasher in a now defunct bakery in Vermont. The owner was an asshole who thought he was some pastry chef from France, when he was really from some small town outside New Orleanse. He yelled at me once for not getting the floor clean enough in the café, and that in Paris, this would be a disgrace and I’d be fired. I reminded him that not only is Paris famous for having dog shit all over the fucking city, but that he had never actually been to Paris. His wife was Parisian, and he was a swamp rat from Louisiana with a stupid fucking accent. He fired me.
