Cup of Java

Late to the party- It seems I'm slow in keeping up with these. Didn't help that my internet was down until yesterday ;/
PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.07
1. For me, breakfast usually consists of a bagel and cream cheese. And I wait until about 10AM to eat it, mostly to avoid eating a mid-morning snack. What do you like to eat for breakfast? Do you even eat breakfast? IF I eat breakfast it usual is a bagel or something along those lines. Unless it's a weekend or a special breakfast occassion I rarely do a large breakfast. I tend to go without breakfast quite a bit too, unless you count breakfast at 2pm and a snack at 4pm as a normal meal day.
2. Back in 1990, I worked at a radio station in the Promotions Department. Our office was directly below the DJ booth. One day there was this thundering bass booming from upstairs. It was just a huge booming sound, with an amazing beat. My manager and I bolted out of the office and up the stairs to the production room. When we opened the door I was smacked in the body by a wall of sound. What I heard reminded me of "Super Freak" but the bass was thumping like I'd never heard before. Then the vocals began, it was a "rap" I would never forget: "My, my, my music hits me so hard, makes me say 'Oh, My Lord, thank you for blessin' me, with a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet.'" The song was MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" and it blew my mind. What was the song that "blew your mind" and is etched in your brain forever? Recall the moment and why it remains in your mind. Hmmm. Well, I guess one would be "Fields of Gold" by Sting. There's a beauty to the music and lyics that just makes me feel smooshy and all that kind of thing. There's something in the music that almost nearly brings me to tears. It's a lovely piece of music.
3. Do you like to gamble? Have you ever won (or lost) big? Not really. The most I won was $50 off a scratch lotto ticket.
4. Some people find comfort for their troubled mind in food. Others find it in music or books. What do you turn to for comfort when you are troubled or worried? Music and my man.
5. When was the last time you felt apathetic? What was it about? yesterday...about all the damn snow. apathy only lasted for so long though ;-)
6. I just read that Google bought Pyra Labs (Blogger.com). Although Blogging was going "mainstream" before this, it most certainly will now have greater exposure, and one assumes, bring us even more Bloggers. Is this a good thing? Sure.
7. What did you do with all your freetime before you blogged?* Hahah...um, I don't know.
BONUS: Should I stay or should I go now? If you go can I go too?? Pleeeease?
