Four Truths and a Lie ANSWERED
Posted on March 3, 2007
As previously posted, here are the shocking reveals to Four Truths and a Lie.
1) Patrick and I have been together for almost 10 years.
This is true. We met back in early April 1997 and have been together ever since.
2) My drum major outfit in high school consisted of a vaguely US Civil War-ish general’s outfit complete with a sword!
This is also true, and pictures exist (though are not currently online). It was during our production of selected motifs from the movie Gettysburg. I highly recommend that everyone try carrying a sword around at least once in their life. Not as clumsy or as random as a handgun, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
3) I once played the sax naked on stage in front of a restaurant full of people.
As told here,this also actually happened. Our band hasn’t played the nudist resort much lately, but who knows, it could happen again.
4) I’m a life-long Democrat that believes in the vast power of government to help its citizens lead richer lives.
Well, here’s where I lied. I’m actually a life-long Republican who believes that the vast power of government can be abused and wrongly utilized in the attempt to “protect” its citizens. The Republican party has been demonstrating this quite effectively since Clinton left office, but before his admirable tenure, the Democratic party was usually more guilty of this than their colleagues across the aisle. At this point, though, I’ll likely remain a Republican and continue to exert my influence at their primaries by voting for candidates that better reflect my socially progressive and fiscally conservative views…well, at least when there are candidates that allow me to do that.
5) I waited in line in front of Target for almost 12 hours to buy the new Nintendo Wii.
Not the proudest moment in my 1.5-score years thus far, but documented here of the ticket I was given to exchange shortly thereafter for my Wii. This sit-in was started around 9:30pm the day before the Wii was officially released and located in front and to the side of the Waterford Lakes Super Target. My brother Jeff joined me shortly thereafter, and in spite of the long hours of boredom and temperatures down into the upper 40’s, we made it through to the end. I’m glad I did it, though, as even now in mid-March, you still cannot find easily find a Wii in the stores.

Your link to the naked sax story doesn’t work. I’m anxious to read about that. My reed is moist just thinking about it.

Alright, its fixed now. I had set it to private a while back, though not sure now why. Enjoy, but don’t forget to grease your cork! (any more woodwind double entendres?)
