So today I noticed that I was tagged over at Julie's Running Blog. I'm not usually a tag/tagger type person (not even really in the myspace days), but since the ocean is flat and I don't have much to write AND I've noticed some new readers (Yippeee!) I'm excited to oblige the tag!
The tag is to tell 10 "whatever" things about yourself so here goes:
1.) In 2008 and 2009 I surfed more than probably the rest of my life. I surf 3 to 4 times a week on average (except for this winter, which has been stupid cold). It's something I'm really passionate about right now and I can see myself doing it as an old man.
2.) In 2009 I ran more regularly than I have my whole life. When there's no waves I run and while I've been "jogging" my whole life I only recently consider myself a "runner" and a beginner at that...
3.) Three things in life have changed me and shaped me more than anything else. When I was 15 my father died... when I was 21 I sailed around the world.... when I was 25 my best friend died... now I'm 32 and wondering what the next life changing event will hold for me?
4.) I hate monkeys ... don't ask.
5.) I'm right handed and left footed. Although, I can do a lot of things with my left hand just as good if not more accurately than my right hand.
6.) The sport of golf pisses me off! That is, unless we do NOT keep score and drink lots of beer... then it's a blast!
7.) I work to live.... not live to work. Money has never been the "motivator" for me, just a means of or device to accomplish the living part of life.
8.) I'm 6'6" tall.... probably 6'7" with most shoes and NO I DO NOT PLAY BASKETBALL.
9.) I'm a licensed pilot.
10.) I'm really stoked about all the races Jenny and I are planning on running this year. There's so many up for consideration that it seems like the possibilities are endless, but a few "for sure" ones are Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon, Muddy Buddy (Orlando), Bay to Breakers and many trail runs. Running is turning into a renewed passion for travel. It's fun to plan trips around running... or surfing!
Well, there you have it; 10 random things about TallGuySurfing!
I'm not really a tagger so I'm just going to invite everyone reading this to post a few wacky things about yourselves if you so feel inclined! Happy Blogging!

Fluky Friday Flash
<>I recently read in Men's Health Magazine about the benefits of eating brown rice. Always striving to convert to a healthier diet, I decided to give it a whirl. Rice is cheap and in these tough economic times it could be a great way to save some money and get some health benefits. I saw a coupon for some Minute Ready to Serve whole grain brown rice. This stuff comes in a bowl and all you have to do is pop in the microwave for 1 minute and waaaalaaa, ready to eat! Sounds to good to be true and with my luck it always is....
This is what happens when I open it up upon getting home from the grocery store:
I think I'll stick with the traditional "boil in water" rice from now on...
<>I received an award from my friend Redhead Running in her blog post yesterday. Thanks Morgan! It's a little fluffy for a guy, but I'm always stoked to get an award! Ha! Now the rules are I'm supposed to pass it on to 15 other bloggers. Well, I'm not one to follow rules. Never have been, never will. So due to this fact, and also that I don't really have 15 blogger friends that would read this and pass it on, I'm going to modify the rules and pass it on to only one blogger friend, whom just happens to need a little push to get off her butt and update her newly formed blog!
...And the award goes to: J-Schmo at Diaries of a New RN
<> Text message of the week: "I just passed a guy in the hall at work rapping about getting high on the bone and blacking out from good head," came from my friend "J-Ho" who happens to work in a level three NICU at a hospital. Yup, premature babies and this is what she hears in the hallway. Classic!
<> Random Picture of the week:
This guy was surfing at the inlet last weekend. It looks like he's getting shot by a sniper in this dramatic, but dull, wipeout!
And that ladies and gentlemen concludes this week's Fluky Friday Flash of Randomness!
