[Melz]

show from the past: Cheers! not that it is any sort of classic or meaningful show, but television is not supposed to mean so much, just to make us laugh. It is a silly medium, but Cheers was the best for television humor!

dinner: Alan Greenspan. yes I know that sounds retarded, but he is my hero (well okay, I admire the job he has done) and I spent most of high school and college wanting his job but he is still there dernit !!!

Karaoke song: "If you don't know me by now" (is that the name of the song) because I sing terribly but, to me, that song already sounds so off kilter and out of tune, I wouldn't sound so different..LOL

First job? paper route, age 12

Rod Stewart song: no real fav, not a fan...

compliment: that I am supposed to be and am able to be more than I am letting myself be. I like it when people see potential in me that I just do not see or use...

first car: 79 Dodge Aspen (keep in mind, it was 1988 at the time LOL), hugest car, friends all called it the "hoopty" (that was a word in that day I guess). killed the rear axel when my friend was doing donuts in it and had to drive it in reverse for 10 miles to a service station.
