Morty's 25 (plus 5) Random Things About Me

I have recently become a fan of (and subsequently obsessed with) Facebook.
WARNING!
If you are not a member yet, take heed.
IT IS ADDICTING!
A substantial portion of my High School graduating class are all there, and now they are my friends. Most of them barely recognized my existence back then, but hey; that's ancient history. The reason I bring this to light now comes as a result of a note I received from an old pen-pal (see the July 2008 posting titled "AWRY Pronounced "Orrie"?) "25 Random Things About Me" is a great way to get to know a little more about those you have now come to consider as friends within the Facebook universe. I found that it was a tall order to come up with 25 random facts pertaining to myself. After careful consideration, I have also come to the conclusion that I may have eliminated a small number of tidbits that I would have liked to include. In keeping with my recently realized license to be lazy (see the previous posting for information on that) I have decided to post my facebook facts here along with some additional thoughts as well.
In the music world these would be construed as Bonus Tracks.

Morty's 25 Random Things About Me.

3. I am absloutely convinced that it is not what you know, It's WHO you know.

4. I am a huge fan of the Partridge Family, own all of their CD's and know the lyrics to no less than 95% of their tunes

5. I don't like award shows and have little interest in most films that receive the "Oscar Buzz."

6. I have always been a morning person.

7. I have abominable handwriting and can no longer write in script.

8. I have little interest in anything political, and believe that most of our chosen leaders care only for themselves.

Bonus Tracks (Facts)

26. I have never owned a real suit

27. I concur with my wife and can go for an Extreme Makeover

28. I will never be a fan of Howard Stern

29. I used to love Roller Coasters and insane thrill rides. Now I feel I have gotten too old for that type of rush. (There is no way that going from 0 to 120 in less than a few seconds can be good for you).

30. I have little interest in and no use whatsoever for The Beatles.

There it is, Morty in a nutshell and another posting in for January. Please feel free to comment and don't forget to check in at unknown80s.blogspot.com with a new posting only days away. Now get yourself on Facebook if you haven't done so already.
