1. Post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. tag your article as meta; 8 things and Uncheck ALL OF NEWSVINE.
5. At the end of your blog, you need to post it here... http://8things.newsvine.com/

~~~~~

1. I'm a person of integrity and I live by my own rules without apology.

2. I'm an activist and live to help others.

3. I enjoy conversing with open-minded people.

4. My hobbies are reading (I'll read nearly anything and it doesn't have to be well written because I'm not a reader snob), writing, traveling, and dining on anything that pleases my taste buds.

5. I live for my next beer, glasses of sherry and rum. I like wine especially the cheap kind that I buy from Trader Joe's, but my favorite is dry wine from Greece.

6. I'm proud of me and I like and love me. I enjoy life and am a person of substance.

7. I don't have time for people who don't like an adventure.

8. I celebrate being an Unitarian.

1.      Like Socrates, I believe that a life without questioning is not a life worth living.

2.      I have a passion for life; evolution is one of my fascinations and I collect fossils as a hobby.

3.      I love art, music, and books. I try to read as much and as often as I can.

4.      Though I’m a poor cook, I live to eat and not eat to live; I love what I eat so much I sometimes end up wearing it on my shirt or tie. But I’m lean.

5.      Though I don’t have a superior IQ myself, I despise ignorance and stupidity. I like polite people who know how to tell me when I’m wrong.

6.      I’m a compassionate person; I’m always for the underdog.

7.      My mottos are; Liberty, Equality, and Freedom (especially from Religion).

8.      I aspire to Fraternity or Brotherly Love if you prefer (not for religious reasons) because there is no reason (except greed) that 75% of the worlds human beings are living in poverty while 25% of us are exploiting and wasting (unknowingly and indifferently) the resources that we should all be able to share.

I'm sure we will, and I'm glad we will... even when he is trying to encourage me to be more specific in my statements without him being preachy or overly chiding, LOL... most impotantly (and in MY opionion this should have been in his 8...or maybe it should be his 9th) even if he agrees (or even if he disagrees) with the basis of what you are saying, he tries to nudge you into saying it clearly. I have to sya, I've enjoyed the Vine more with his input (yes, even when he may not agree with what I'm saying).

PIK is AWESOME!  Thanks for posting the 8.  You are cool to have on the Vine, and I always perk up a little reading your comments.  They have a way of making me think about things differently.
