list of 4's

TAG - the list of 4's

Alright, I said I would do this so here goes nothing.

4 jobs you've had in your life: (I’ve had so many! This will be tough.)
1. Survival Instructor: I taught survival tactics to aircrew members for the Air Force. It was a fun and rewarding job. Going through Land, Water, Combat and P.O.W. survival training while I was becoming an instructor was such a great experience. You learn a lot about yourself when you are pushed to your physical and emotional limits.
2. SCUBA Instructor: This is what I am doing now while I am finishing my master’s degree. I love it, love it, love it. Surrounded only by the sound of my air bubbles rising through the water for hours on end. Even when I’m instructing, I can’t help but be relaxed.
3. 4th Grade Teacher: I loved my kids! They were awesome. (Do you see a pattern here, I enjoy teaching.) I’ll go in a different direction for the next one.
4. I ran a Kool-Aid stand when I was in 4th grade: What a great job. Summer sun and all the Kool-Aid I could drink. I had a Kool-Aid mustache all summer! Oh Yeah!

4 movies you would watch over and over:
1. Braveheart
2. The Goonies
3. Oh Brother where art thou?
4. Quest for the Holy Grail--There are so many more I wished I could list, but I’m sticking with the rules…

4 places you have lived:
1. Lake George, GA – I grew up in Lake George. A little community on the coast. No stoplights, No noise…just the salt-marsh, shrimpboats and a ten minute boat ride to the mouth of the ocean. Life was bliss growing up here. My personal paradise. I love the Georgia coast.
2. Statesboro, GA –I left and came back, I guess I can’t get enough of this place. I met baylor and Tara here, so if that is all I would have gotten out of it…it would have been enough.
3. Salinas, CA –My family moved out to California for about a year when I was just a wee-little Jeff. I had my first birthday in California. I still have family there and visit them as often as I can. (Which isn’t nearly enough.)
4. Tan Canvas Tent, An-Nasyriah Iraq –I spent a year in that tent…my least favorite residence. By far.

4 tv shows you love to watch:
1. LOST—My favorite show right now by a mile. It’s on now, and I must confess…I am writing this in between commercial breaks.
2. Sportscenter- I’m a guy, tell me you didn’t see that one coming.
3. American Chopper- Guilty pleassure
4. National Geographic Explorer- Actually I’ll watch just about anything on National Geographic, Discovery Channel, TLC, etc.

4 places you have been on vacation:
1. The Grand Caymans- beautiful
2. Jamaica- also beautiful
3. Western/Southern Europe- great trips…great people…great food…great culture…great memories
4. Key West- I had to throw a location in my list that was in the U.S. Man, I love Key West.

4 of your favorite foods:
1. Japanese Steakhouse!—nuff said
2. Chocolate Yoo-Hoo- Technicaly it is a drink not a food, but God I love em’.
3. Steamed Oysters- To quote Jimmy Buffett, “Give me oysters and beer, for dinner every day of the year, and I’d feel fine….” To be more specific, I do like to drink a beer every now and then, but not everyday. So my Jimmy Buffett quote is geared more towards the oysters. If only Jimmy had sang “Give me oysters and Yoo-Hoos…”
4. Hummus – with veggies, chips, crackers, rice, etc… I stole this one from Tara, but I agree. Blue Moon Café here in Statesboro has the absolute best…

4 places you would rather be right now:
1. Looking into the eyes of my eventual soul-mate while lying in a sea of blankets and holding her close. The location isn’t important. The only thing important would be the moment.

I can’t think of any better place than that…I guess I am going to break the rules after all. You only get one answer for this one…
