May 27 '05
The Bottom Line 2 Write Off’s in a row – Sorry about that guys, just no energy this month to do exhaustive research. Hope to get some soon, Energy that is!
Here is my entry into the Write Off hosted by Ryan (three_ster)http://www.epinions.com/content_4367687812. Great idea Ryan, thanks a Million for this one! As I stated in my Bottom Line information, this is my 2nd Write-Off in a row because I have been weak and lazy this month and not feeling like I want to do a lot of exhaustive research. I hope to come out of this funk soon so I can get back on track? I thought I would add a little more then most members who have already posted their entry by listing my top 5 in each category, in order or my likes. First let me give you my list of my 5 Favorite Hobbies, since I mentioned Food was my 5th Favorite one.
1. Music (I Love listening to it, reading about it, talking about it and writing about it)
2. Internet (What did I do before I got my PC almost 6 years ago? Anyway, I like surfing, posting at Epinions, filling out surveys, completing sweepstakes/contest entries, listening to on line radio stations, etc.)
3. Movies (I go to the Movies at least once a week, some weeks 2 times. I am so much into Movies that for the last 3 years I have kept a Excel Spreadsheet of all the Movies due out in the next 2 years I want to see, the name of the movie, expected release date, genre, and 3 or more of my favorite stars in the Movie. The Movies I have seen so far this Month only are:

J. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith – 4 Stars
K. The Longest Yard – Planning to see on Monday, 30 April
4. Television (I love watching TV, reading about TV and the stars, watching those Entertainment shows like Entertainment Tonight, X-Tra etc. My Favorite genres on TV are:
A. Reality – Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race, American Idol, The Apprentice, Fear Factor, etc.

5. Food (Well I go into more detail in my lists below but basically because I love food so much and eat junk food way, way, way too much I am about 50 lbs. overweight. Boy do I need to start exercising and trying to stop all the Juke food, especially while listening to music, Surfing the Internet, At The Movies or Watching TV.

Well that’s all I have and I hope one of your favorite foods is listed somewhere up above. Very fun little Write-Off and if you haven’t noticed by now I love doing/making lists not only for write-offs but I have many Excel Spreadsheets with all kinds of nonsense on them. I usually compile those during the day while at work when it’s very, very slow since I’m not allowed to do research on-line for my Music reviews anymore during work hours. One list I have been working on for all-most 3 years now is The Hottest Females in the Media (Movies, TV, Sports, Music, etc.) and it is up to 1,100 right now. Some day I am going to post that list on a site I found that let’s you do that and they will find a picture of that person somewhere on the Internet and put it up next to their name on your list for free, how cool is that?
Anyway as always thanks for dropping by and reading, rating and commenting. I hope everyone has a Safe and Wonderful Holiday Weekend, Good Luck and God Bless You All, Ron.
