So I mentioned previously that I'd had a genuine epiphany. It occurred during a deep dark exploration of the soul, some time between going to bed and falling to sleep a couple of hours later. See I was having trouble falling asleep and I started thinking about the jobs I've held over the past twenty plus years. Yeah, twenty plus. My very first real job was as a dishwasher in a bakery when I was 14. Even before that I had paper routes.

In twenty plus years of working I've had jobs I've liked and jobs I haven't liked. Most of them were in the first category as I'm fairly easy to please but also had no compunction about leaving a place if I didn't like it. Those two qualities together kept the bad jobs to a minimum. Now on the jobs that I liked I found a certain constant that encompassed my absolute favorite times on those jobs. The duty or responsibility or task that made me the happiest was the same whether I was working as a cart pusher, meat cutter, arcade attendant, cashier, surgical tech, what have you. I always got the most satisfaction and enjoyment out of a job when I was teaching somebody else.

I love teaching. That's my epiphany. Okay, so it's not a world-shaking event. I don't know if I can even use that. See, I'm not qualified to be hired as a teacher. Even in the things that I know at an elemental level I don't have a piece of paper that says "This guy can teach that". Not only that but the salary for teachers is somewhat low compared to what I need to support my family.

So I probably will not be pursuing a teaching position now as there's no realistic chance of realizing the goal. I will, however, be keeping my eyes out for opportunities to get those pieces of paper and to incorporate teaching in the jobs that I get.

Some day I may be able to do what I really want. For now I'll busy myself getting ready.

1. Which political party do you typically agree with?
Libertarian on most issues, Republican on some, Democrat on some

2. Which political party do you typically vote for?
Mixed bag. I vote by candidate so there's no fixed trend here.

3. List the last five presidents that you voted for.
Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Gore (See? Told ya so.)

4. Which party do you think is smarter about the economy?
I think they're all pretty stupid about the economy. They all keep thinking they need to screw with it.

5. Which party do you think is smarter about domestic affairs?
This is tough. If we go by party platforms then the Republicans have a distinct edge over the Democrats. If we go by actual performance then it's pretty much a dead heat.

6. Do you think we should keep our troops in Iraq or pull them out?
Our troops need to be there until they are not needed there. The 'need' I speak of is both Iraq's physical need for protection and America's need to protect and promote her interests.

7. Who, or what country, do you think is most responsible for 9/11?
Person: Osama bin Laden. Group: al Quaeda. Country: Afghanistan. Culture: Arab. Fundament: Islam.

8. Do you think we will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
We already have. We'll find more, too.

9. Yes or no, should the U.S. legalize marijuana?
Yes.

10. Do you think the Republicans stole the last presidental election?
No.

11. Do you think Bill Clinton should have been impeached because of what he did with Monica Lewinski?
No but he should have been impeached for his blatant lies under oath.

12. Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president?
Oh Lordy no. She doesn't make a good Senator and didn't even make a particularly good First Wife.

13. Name a current Democrat who would make a great president.
Zell Miller

14. Name a current Republican who would make a great president.
Condoleeza Rice

15. Do you think that women should have the right to have an abortion?
I thought they already did. This question should be "Do you think that a woman's right to have an abortion should be taken away?" My answer would be "no" to that one.

16. What religion are you?
Non-denominational agnostic.

17. Have you read the Bible all the way through?
Yes.

18. What's your favorite book?
Currently it's a toss-up between Everybody Poops and The Gas We Pass. Those get the most laughs from the kids when I read them.

19. Who is your favorite band?
I don't have one. Former favorite bands have included Def Leppard, Guns n' Roses, Concrete Blonde and Live.

20. Who do you think you'll vote for president in the next election?
Bush

21. What website did you see this on first?
First encountered at Blown Fuse

It's been a while since I've been able to do a Cheddar X but that's okay - it just means this is a rare and valuable cheese. This week's Cheddar is political in nature but Johnny did an excellent job of not making them leading questions. Here goes: more...

Tell us about the first album you ever owned. What was it, was there a story behind it? How about the last album you acquired?

The very first music album (after the genuine kid stuff like Snoopy and the Red Baron and various Muppets records) was Dr. Hook: A little Bit More.

My Mom and I with my little brother were staying with my Aunt to help with my Uncle (who was failing rapidly). My Dad bought me the Dr.Hook album because my cousines told him that this was what the hip crowd wanted to listen to. It blew my mind completely and irrevocably. My mom overheard it the second day I had it in the house and she confiscated it. She said she was giving it back to my Dad, this music was too grown up for me.

Well it was way too late. In the short time that I had posession of that album I listened to it more than a dozen times straight through and a select few songs (When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman, A Little Bit More and Sexy Eyes) dozens more. I got the boogy in my blood and it never left.

After that I bugged my older brother constantly for all of his funk. I begged, borrowed and stole my Dad's Bee-Gee's, Barry Manilow and Wayne Newton. I sat at the radio every Saturday morning with my Radio Shack tape recorder jacked in to record the best off of Casey's Top 40. It was the beginning of the end of my childhood.

The very last album I purchased for myself was Concrete Blonde y Los Illegals.

Johnette was spending too much time south of the border and it showed in the music. The hard driving riffs I loved and expected from Blonde weren't there. The sweet scratchy ululations of Napolitano were absent. The band had gone adrift and was faltering badly.

I lost faith in music with this album. I'd already been on a downward spiral and this was the capper. Since this CD in 1997 I haven't purchased a musical album. Don't cry for me, it hasn't been a sad parting, nor a total one. I listen to the radio occasionally in the car. I borrow CDs or MP3s sometimes when I'm curious about a song or artist. So far I haven't been seriously tempted to buy another CD.

What's your story? Give it to us in the comments here or post on your own blog and trackback to this post so we can follow along.

1. Middle Name?
Robert

2. Favorite Animal?
Wolf. Timber wolf to be specific but any flavor will do in a pinch.

3. If you were to go on a deserted island for 10 years, and you could take 1 person and 3 items, what would you take?
I think I've answered this somewhere else. I'd take Sally Struthers. That way I could crack her across the head the first time she whined about being hungry and then feed myself for the rest of my stay. I mean, have you seen her recently? I want my baby back, baby back, baby back ribs!

For items I'd take a damn fine survival rifle complete with shitloads of ammo. Item two would be a damn fine survival knife. Item three would be a really large pot. I can boil water to make it potable, cook things easily, sterilize my knife for amputations when necessary...the possibilities are endless. And Struthers is probably a bit stringy - she'd be better as stew than she would as chops.

4. WhatÂ’s your favorite food?
See question 3a. Haha, just kidding. It's pizza. With peppers, onions, mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni, and canadian bacon. And extra cheese, but that goes without saying.

5. WhoÂ’s your favorite band?
Overall, probably either Led Zeppelin or the Melody Makers (Bob Marley). Tragically Hip are pretty high up there too.

6. WhoÂ’s your favorite person?
Me. You gotta be happy with you before you're any good to anybody else.

7. How old are you?
Thirty four? Thirty five? No, can't be thirty five yet, I'd remember that. I'll go with thirty four. I'll do the math if you make me but it'll cost you a dollar. Each.

8. Where do you live?
Atlanta, Jawjah

9. WhatÂ’s your favorite type of Ice Cream?
Whichever one has the best chance of putting me into a chocolate induced coma.

10. WhatÂ’s your favorite family tradition?
Going to the Atebellum plantation at Stone Mountain Park for picnics, swashbuckling, football and tag.

11. Do you have a job? If so where?
Damn well better at almost thirty-five with 3 kids. I'm an analyst for a company that makes software distribution systems.

12. WhatÂ’s your dream car?
One that's solid state electronics and runs off a fuel cell. Don't forget the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty.

Play along. Answer here in the comments or trackback a post to Mookie.

Here's a finger tray of samples of Cheddary goodness. Don't take too many! You'll spoil your supper.

1. When was the last time you caught yourself before doing something really stupid? What was it?
What time is it now? Hell, if I didn't do something really stupid in the past hour then just wait around a couple of minutes. As to what it was? I do way too many of these to keep specific memories of them. That's like asking somebody to keep track of blinking.

2. What was your last nightmare about?
Smoking. Brrrrr.

3. How do you entertain yourself in traffic?
Talking. I'm never in traffic alone.

4. Who inspires you?
Maybe it's because I'm in a mini-funk or something but I honestly don't feel inspired by anybody right now. Now if you asked what inspired me I'd say that little clock in the bottom right corner of my monitor. It is freaking gorgeous outside and I wanna be out there.

5. What trait in the opposite sex makes you wonder most?
Um...what? Please repeat this in the form of an answer. Or something like that. I'm saying that I don't understand what's being asked here.

6. Which of the seven deadly sins is the worst? Why?
My favorite is lust. As far as worst? I don't think any of them are all that bad, really. They're human emotional responses. Nothing more, nothing less. Rational people deal with 'em, irrational people end up making 27 laws on how to take a crap.

7. Do you blog on the weekends much or at all?
Generally not at all but some times a bit. I'm definitely not writing anything on the weekends except once each blue moon or so. I might do bloggy posts if I come across something while reading but generally I don't even bother to do that on the weekends.

1 I am trying to sniff out that cheddary goodness to which you referred. I haven't spotted a chunk of cheese hereabouts, yet. However, the stuff about the 27 rules was very interesting. I am pretty glad that the mouse rule is: If you need to dump a pill, do it and get on with your scurrying and searching for cheese. No muss, no fuss, and if it is a problem, you clean up the mess.

It's time for some more cheesy word association with the Cheddar X. These don't lend themselves to our spot the wrong answer Snooze Points side game so there isn't one this week. I'll make it up to you though - I'll dedicate a moment of my morning to thinking about you. Yes, you and only you. Boop boop de doo.

This is a double association game where we take a word and give the first word we think of and then do it again taking our answer as the new word to be associated with. Sound confusing? Well, this is just one of the many reasons why psychiatrists are allowed to dispense narcotics.

This week's Cheddar X is a special format. It's a word association thing where you're supposed to reply with the first thing that comes into your head when you read each word. Here goes!

Olympics = Olympics
Politics = Politics
John Kerry = John Kerry
George Bush = George Bush
Osama = Osama
Same-sex marriage = Same-sex marriage

What? Oh, the first thing that comes into my head besides the words given. Okay, let's try that again.

Olympics = games
Politics = games
John Kerry = Bill Clinton
George Bush = Kick Ass
Osama = fucktard
Same-sex marriage = Enough Already
Todd Bertuzzi = goon
Barry Bonds = cokehead
The Passion of the Christ = Enough Already
Beach = nude
Britney Spears = nude soon
Paris Hilton = Barry Bonds
Microsoft = All encompassing warmth, gratitude and security
France = Cheese eating appeasement monkeys
Hans Blix = ankle biter
Linux = Luxy
MTV = More (of) The View
Outsource = Profit
Hummer H2 = Poser Hummer
Honor = Harrington
Love = Ly Wife
Courtney Love = skank

Well, okay. Some of those weren't my real responses. The problem is that some of my actual responses blew. Okay, okay. The real responses are in the extended version. more...

This week's Cheddar is going to be weak. It's a nifty concept, I just suck at it. See, we're supposed to do poems for the answers. The extent of my poetry knowledge is the repertoire of Andrew Dice Clay. Well, let's see what we can do.

1. What is your favorite poem or verse? Why?
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing
'Cause the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing.

That messed up poem that Wonka said
Gave me chills and feelings dread.
When young it made me shake and shiver
Even now it sets me all aquiver.

2. Describe your family.
A Lovely Wife so tall and fair
A rugrat boy that we call Bear
The Burger boy is our third son
And number two we call Bacon

3. What line in a song or poem do people always screw up that drives you nuts?
I must admit,
I am not teasin'
There's no such line
That gets me seethin'

4. Are there poems or songs that you intentionally change the words to?
Yeah there was a special one
Idol's Mony sucked
Billy really should have sung
Y'all get laid get fucked

5. Make up a standard limerick about something funny that happened in the last couple of days.
A beautiful day in Lawrenceville
We took our kite atop the hill
The spool was lost
The kite was tossed
But all was saved by puppies' skill.

(Lovely Wife lost the thread spool and the puppy chased it and held it up long enough for her to grab it again)

6. How about a haiku about your last intense emotional moment?
Quitting smoking now
My blood cries for nicotine
Fury ebbs slowly

7. What's caught your eye in the news lately?
Bush says marriage is for guy and girl.
An amendment for this? I'm gonna hurl.
Kerry keeps talking out both sides of his face.
He'll say anything he thinks will win his race.
The Georgia House's resolution
Makes mockery of our Constitution.
Idiots on global warming last night
This morning Atlanta's covered in white.
Politicians snipe and root like hogs.
Fuck em all, I'll read weblogs.

Bonus: Whoever can figure out what rhymes with orange gets the bonus prize this week!
Whate'er it is you think you hear
With strained and tender youngster's ear
The sound of pogo bouncing high
As playmate comes approaching nigh

To bounce then fall to bounce again
Its springy coil so serves and then
The sound you hear, that "pornge, pornge, pornge"
Still yet not quite doth rhyme with orange

Points?: None this time around. Sorry folks, I almost had an aneurism just writing a half dozen verses. Imagine what might have happened if I had to put devious thought into one! I'll make it up to you later.

10. Sister Hazel - We'll Find It

And number 11 (My playlist goes up to 11)

And just in case you're interested (and who could blame you?), here's the first 10 from my last non-random playlist (Playlist title is "Crap Code Mix"):

3 I have to go with #9. I think Edwards' 'free year of college' idea chaffes you as much as it does me, and that you woul not seriously consider voting for hm, if for thothing else thn that reason.

Posted by: tommy at February 20, 2004 09:08 AM (MhJXW)

4 My vote is number 1 again. I'm sure you've done a good deed. Your a sweetheart, how can you not do a good deed. (does major sucking up count?)

Posted by: Tiffani at February 20, 2004 10:06 AM (xpNFK)

5 Education isn't on my radar for this election and Bush's rampant spending has taken away the disadvantage I'd normally apply to the Dem candidate for general fiscal matters. Plus Edward's a good ol' boy so my normal dislike of Noreast politicians wouldn't apply to him. I can just about guarantee that I've done some good deed sometime in my life. I mean, I was a boyscout and it's mandatory, right? I just have no memory of any good deed done for a stranger (excepting the courtesy/good manners stuff already noted).

Posted by: Jim at February 20, 2004 10:16 AM (IOwam)

6 I'm going for number 4 even though I did know you lived in arizona for a while ... what ... it could be a trick question!

Posted by: Rob at February 20, 2004 10:24 AM (kXZI6)

7 #6 is "out" if we count that whole PeakTalk-censored-my-post debacle, but "in" if we recall that it was mostly me bitching out Trey while you maintained your usual civility. None of the rest, however, seem like lies to me. Tricky tricky, as usual, but I'll stick with 6 for lack of any better candidate. Oh, and since you mention Edwards, did you see Allahpundit's campaign poster photoshops on him? My favorite was "Edwards '04: Yeah, I Guess."

Posted by: ilyka at February 20, 2004 11:40 AM (PTsag)

8 Methinks the Snooze doth protest too loudly... I'm going with Number 1 as well, so slide over Tiffani!

Posted by: Mike the Marine at February 20, 2004 12:04 PM (UJiSP)

9 I was thinking of that debate with Trey, actually. I don't think it could be considered a commentwar. Yes, it did pop up on a couple different blogs but it was over after a couple hours with a general concensus. And, as you pointed out, I maintained my decorum throughout. Mike - I shall attempteth to protesteth lesseth in the futureth.

Posted by: Jim at February 20, 2004 12:33 PM (IOwam)

10 hey man, say it don't sthpray it.

Posted by: Rob at February 20, 2004 12:38 PM (kXZI6)

11 I'll say #2's a lie. How could someone hurt you like that? A man with such integrity, virility, humility & comedy. Besides, you're the best teet sucker I've ever seen.

Posted by: MojoMark at February 20, 2004 01:28 PM (E+LQu)

12 My teat sucking was perfected with that one, too. Go figure!

Posted by: Jim at February 20, 2004 08:29 PM (saeHM)

13 Play fair, Jim--I shouldn't get points on that one. It wasn't your "intentional" lie, number one, and number two, a proper comment/blog war is never settled amicably within 24 hours (and with that one it was less). I'll just try to guess more smarter on the next round. Students of blogwars should see Olsen, Dawn; Slade, Madison; and of course, Esmay, Dean, but only if they have strong stomachs and absolutely nothing at all better to do for half a day.

Posted by: ilyka at February 23, 2004 09:45 AM (ULuzT)

14 I was trying to play fair! :-P Okay, with Ilyka surrendering her points that'll be 7 for 2 people. Mike and Tiffani both get 4 points. (Always round up to a whole number - you'll thank me.)

Posted by: Jim at February 23, 2004 09:57 AM (IOwam)

15 ha HAAAA!!! Back on top! Of the points, not Tifanni. Get your mind out of the gutter... or was that just me? Oh... nevermind.

Updated 16 Feb: Contest results are in.

This is a very special edition of the Cheddar X. It's about SEX!!! Everything you've always wanted to know about my sex life but were (quite intelligently) afraid to ask. Ever wanted the truth behind that cow picture? The story of how I lost my virginity? How many partners I've had? Well you won't find answers to any of those but there's a lot of other titilating stuff.

There's also one answer that is a total and complete lie (and I don't mean the ones I brushed off humorously either). Can you spot it? more...

4 you must've been listening to too much Def Leppard back then.

6 16. How long have you gone without sex with another person? Almost 19 years. Man, I hope that never happens again. That's my vote. I'm betting you "lost it" sooner than that. The babysitter thing?--Just sick enough to be, potentially, true. I'm going to get my mind off that by contemplating your cow picture some more now.

9 Just to get the rules straight - if I'm commenting on the one that's a lie I'm going to lie some more. Otherwise y'all would have no problem figuring out which one's the lie, or I'd have to not comment at all and that would be sad.

Posted by: Helen at February 12, 2004 05:18 AM (DGQl+)

12 I'm a genuine leg man so if they're shown, that's where my eyes are going to start from. Margi's the big winner. She's queen over 4 lesser winners. It's like a belated birthday present!

13 I think you're trying to pull another fast one on us. #9 is the lie. You made that shit up for Writer's Noose - don't try to pawn it off on us as the real deal now! (like I know... I just want points!)

14 The trick here is guessing not only which one is a lie, but which one of the lies Jim is willing to admit too. :-) Anyway - if 16 & 17 are true, then 13 must be a lie.

15 Clancy - Trying logic again? We saw what that bought you in the .1 Million Invitational. hehe Mike - I wish I had the imagination to make up stuff like that. I'd be writing for Penthouse instead of doing all this boring QA stuff every day.

16 DAMMIT ALL! I coulda sworn you were fulla crap on that one. Actually, I'm just really jealous....

17 I could be full of crap on it. We won't find out until the weekend. ;-)

18 I think you're lying on #11. "Not to the best of my knowledge?" Come ON! That's the standard response of a politican. I think you know for absolute certain whether or not you have had same sex activities.

19 Ah, but the politicians use it because it works so well. To the best of my knowledge I've never smoked the bologne pony and my sphincters are all still in virgin condition.

20 I vote for #1 - Is Peacock really your or his last name?

Posted by: Tiffani at February 13, 2004 10:16 AM (xpNFK)

21 Yup, and I have the emotional scars to prove it. A name like that is just begging for teasing and boy did I get it. To make matters even worse, my family was cruel enough to call me "Jamie" instead of "Jim" so I got loads of crap for that too.

22 You poor thing...

23 It's okay [sniff]. I don't even think about it any more [sniff, sniff]. It only brings up bad memories when someone callously reminds me of those terrible, terrible times [sniff]. I'm okay [sniff]. Really, I'm fine [sniff, sniff].

24 I think 11 you either have or hav'nt "dont know" is just a cop out (see Tony blair "45 min dossier")

25 #14.....you HAVE paid for it...and I ain't talking $5 titty suck....

27 Dern! If only I had found this blog sooner! I had visited Niagara Falls once and gone to the Skylon Tower. When I was there, there was an emplyee riding the elevator with all the people. So I knew that #9 was the lie.

The more you eat, the more you fart.
The more you fart, the better you feel.
So eat cheese with every meal.
