A Test and A Meme
A lot of times I see a test and I will just do it and post the results in the comments of the blog that made me aware of said test. I found this test at Flametoad’s blog and it appealed to me. Being a fan of action movies and enjoying to read of adventurous heroes this test rocked even. I just had to know what kind of hero am I? Hey any damsels in distress. *adjusts girdle*
 |
You scored as Maximus. After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus’s assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him.
Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 |
Now it is meme time. Huei tagged me and I thought I had done this one. I did not find it in cursory research and then I’m thinking I have a few new readers. So what the heck. Lets do the meme.
What meme is it? The Why I Blog tag. I must give five reasons. So! Ready! Begin!
- I wanted to touch on social and political topics. Thus the name Simple America. At least in the beginning, before I realized that there were people out there in blog land. And that you could become friends with these people and that they are warm and friendly and worth caring about. If I had not met people I would be blogging about impeaching Bush or something right now. Hard to believe I voted for him four times.
- I blogged because my partners blogged. Monkey see. Monkey do.
- Blogging is hard to stop because of the great people I have met from all over the world. Who would of thunk I would meet folks from Kansas and Minnesoto and Singapore and Malaysia and Thailand and Australia and Italy and Spain…
- I love to write. The more you write the better you express yourself. Hopefully the writing improves more and more. This experience should transfer to any writing for publishing that I pursue.
- I enjoy looking at the food pictures. So much good food out there that I am missing. I must correct that.
That is it for the tag. Not gonna tag anyone. And I know many of you have done this already. Y’all take care.

Starting to budget for the trip.

I still gotta do this TAG, but it’s a good tag, this!!
SA: This one is fun L B. And I have to admit sometimes I do it again, just so I can compare the answer to the old. See how much I have changed. Or was it drank since the last time. Kkkkkkk
March 2nd, 2007 at 4:50 am
That test looks like fun…except I have to be up in 3 hours to get my kids ready for school.
Blogging reasons…those are good enough for me.
SA: Well get the sleep you can. Must be up the wee one, eh. Do it when the time allows.
Thanks. I can even blog for no reason. LOL!
March 2nd, 2007 at 5:27 am
I’m back, as promised!
and yes, I do remember you doing this tag… sometime… long ago…
pssssst… shouldn’t I be under the Australian list now in your blogroll? *grin*
SA: *stops pacing*
I knew you’d be back May. You are a lady of your work. I likes that.
And now you are where you belong in the land down under. Thanks for pointing that out.
March 2nd, 2007 at 6:41 am
I like your writing too
SA: *blush* Thank you.
March 2nd, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Maximus 71%
Batman, the Dark Knight 63%
James Bond, Agent 007 54%
Captain Jack Sparrow 50%
Hmmm…never did like Russell Crowe as Maximus.. or as anyone else for that matter.
Denver may be off the cards for the moment. But for research sake, would Westin Denver be in downtown area? How does one get around town without a car?
SA: Not even like Herr Crowe in Cinderella Man?
The Westin Tabor looks like it is downtown. I don’t remember Denver having trains. I always had a car, which seemed essential in a city like Denver. Everything is spread out. But with a car you can be in the Rockey mountains in nothing flat. Enjoying a beautiful view. Really neat.

Ooo… Maximus. I likey! Big strong family man… Salute!
SA: I wish I had those muscles. His money would be nice too! =P
March 3rd, 2007 at 1:31 am
I scored high on Wallace. ..and I don’t mind wearing a kilt! Hahahha!!
SA: If I can ever find my tartan I will get a kilt. Then I can accept donations for the Scottish underwear fund. muahahaha!!!
March 3rd, 2007 at 3:27 am
I am happy to know you too..keke
SA: I’m happy your happy.
March 3rd, 2007 at 6:49 am
u know?
the name maximus somehow reminds me of Gluteus Maximus
Kkkkkkkkk
I’m half way doing this tag too…
writing is fun
crapping is even more fun
SA: I hope you weren’t straining to look at mine. Heck you can see mine without glasses, so big. Kkkkkkkkkkk!!!
Crapping is lots of fun.

Words can be nice and comfortable.

Good reasons to blog!
Btw, I just realised the guy who back me up during my maternity has just gone to Houston for another meeting on behalf of me! Sigh.. I miss another chance to meet you.
SA: He cannot back you up for ever. I’ll be looking for you in two years. Once Zaria is done breast feeding you should be able to make the trip. We’ll get a blogger meet yet!
