Fracas' Monday Melee     “After midnight, baby … we’re gonna let it all hang out…

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

     I hate all the negativity in the world. Seriously, mean, negative people? I hate the bastards. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK! I wish they’d all f&#$ off and die! ;-)
  (Yeah, I can’t think of anything I haven’t posted already)

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

     My previous answer to the “Misanthropic” question is definitely bogus.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

     The last three months, on the second of the month, I’ve posted some time-lapse video from a recently discovered artist. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find anything new that really struck me the same way.
     Well, I did run across one guy … But he was such an arrogant prick, I couldn’t bring myself, in good conscience, to post his work.

     I’ll find something, tho … if I have to do it myself.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

     My friend Novia was having a pretty rough time.  She started a business a few months ago, and it’s really great to see her succeeding in that, to see her coming out her funk and enjoying herself for a change.  And even though she’s had a lot more things dumped on her plate lately, she’s getting right through it.
     Cheers, girl.  Inspiration and optimism have put you on your way.  ;-)

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

     I remember someone once telling me that I was “too intense.”  I took that as a negative at the time.  But as opportunities have continued themselves, I find that intensity, passion and drive are what push me towards true happiness.
     A lot of people think “risky” is a bad thing, too.  Calculated risks, however, can be very rewarding.  I’m not afraid to take  Leap of Faith on the things that are important, things that actually matter.

     I’m on a damn good road.  And it’ll only get better.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

     Instead of naming something I wish for, I will state two profound truths:

  • It’s only make believe when it’s impossible.
  • Everything is possible.

     Of the most important things in my life … I have absolutely no doubts. :-)

Now it’s your turn.

    You could do a profile of me! I’ve been known to do some mean fingerpainting in my day :)

    Ok.. if #6 is a truth, then I’m going to plan to not wear my glasses tomorrow morning. (See my Melee for why).

    Are you willing to share the road with me while I drive everyone where they need to be tomorrow morning? Rotfl.

    Seriously though.. I wholly support positive thinking, which I presume is the point of your #6, so good on you!

  3. Tish Says:

    What a coincidence! I’m on a damn good road too! ;)

  4. Mark Says:

    Jason: Put up a time-lapse video of your creation and I’ll certainly consider it. *grin*

    Fracas: Not certain … I know how you Canucks drive. ;-)

    My eyesight’s been improving for years. It’s gotten so good lately that I’ve started to actually see things that’ve been right under my nose for years. ;-)

    Tish: Here’s to improved pot-hole avoidance skills! *cheers*

    You and your wit Mark… no wonder you have so many fans.

  6. Mark Says:

    Thanks … But at least half of them think I’m full of shit rather than wit. ;-)

  7. Diva Says:

    Mark. You’re full of witty shit, pal. But that’s what makes you so special.

  8. sam Says:

    Whatever people may think of you, Mark, I bet you at least read all the way to the bottom of the blog before doing the meme contained therein. Would that I could say the same, though I did add a little something to direct folks to the right place. Thanks for setting me straight.
