William Tully – 4×4 Meme

// March 21st, 2008 // Meme Posts

I was sort of wondering what ever happened to memes.. There was a time when they were all the rage, but they somehow became lame and evil. Good to see a rejuvination of all things meme. Mr. Worman tagged me in the 4×4 meme – much like the 8 random things, but this time it’s 4 items grouped into 4, um, groups. So really, it’s 16 not-so-random things, but does it make it twice as good? Well, you decide:

4 Jobs I’ve had:

1. Truck Driver – used to deliver an insane number of woodstoves and gas fireplaces for my parent’s company over the years. The best driving were the long hauls through Algonquin Park at sunrise, late night departures after a fresh snowfall with a full moon, or simply the days where the weather turned ugly and presented a significant challenge…
2. Security Guard - yeah, not one of my more shining moments in life… Got canned from a job, ran out of money and picked up this one because it paid and I didn’t need a degree. Little did I know was that there would be NO on-the-job training, and I’d be dumped into a shit-hole strip-mall that backed onto a welfare housing compound. It was essentially me, my fast talking, and a hefty Mag-Lite, out to take on the crazies. The lightshow from the police cars in the welfare compound, and the police helicopter overhead was always a bonus at night. *shudder*
3. Technology Consultant – yup, did some technology consulting for small businesses when a good friend opened up shop.
4. Pet Store Slave – yeah, back in the early, early, days I worked at a local pet store for gas money. Didn’t mind the fish, the puppies, the kittens, the rodents – just HATED the live crickets we sold for lizzard food.. God I hate bugs.

4 Places I’ve been:

1. Philippines - went there to visit my best friend and his new fiancee, however, by the time I landed, they were both back here in Canada. A rather interesting 10 day trip to say the least…
2. Morehead City, NC – AMAZING dive trip, May 2007.
3. Montreal, QC – Colleen and I took off in Feb 2007 for an anniversary weekend away. We went by VIA One, which I must say, is the ONLY way to travel! Oh, yeah, it was my first trip by train (subways don’t count).
4. Nanaimo, BC – My father and I did some great diving there a couple years ago. Just the two of us, our own charter, and the ocean – one of the top 3 trips for sure.

4 Music Artists I’m currently listening to (aside from MG, I’ve been on an electronic kick lately):

1. Matthew Good – I think at this point it just plays on a subconscious level at all times..
2. VNV Nation – Got thinking about some great live shows I’ve seen and the first one and the latest one by these guys were by far the best. Can’t wait for them to come back!
3. Chicane – yeah, I know, but Saltwater is just a fantastic song!
4. Tiesto - I guess he dropped the “DJ” part.. He’s got an hour long podcast which is extremely good and it’s generally on throughout the day. 32 episodes down, just 16 more to go and I’m caught up!

4 Foods where life becomes questionable if they were taken away:

1. Pizza - can I put it 4 times?
2. Club Sandwiches – I rate restaurants on their ability to build this sandwich as it’s likely the first thing I will order when visiting an establishment for the first time. If they do a poor job I will never return. If they do a good job I’ll return and likely order something else off their menu. Weird, I know.
3. Pad Thai – why is it never served in bucket quantities?!
4. Brownies served with a tall glass of frigid milk – good moist brownies with perhaps some nuts or even dare I say – raisins! None of that cheesecake crap, white chocolate, or any bizzare variation. Chocolate, more chocolate, and perhaps some crunchy bits.

So there we have it, more insights into yours truly.
