Meme--No Tag Backs!


My blogging friend, Christine Forgione in Queens, just 'tagged' me with a holiday Meme. Click here (Sellsius), here (NYHouses4Sale), and here (BloodhoundBlog) for three very human definitions of this phenomenon. So in this joyous season I hereby accept this gift and in turn, pass on five things most people do not know about me:

1) That while I like to quote The Godfather and Scarface {"...first you getta the money, next you getta the power...then you getta the woman...}, Its a Wonderful Life is my favorite movie.

2) I take a nightly mental inventory of my words and actions and silently vow to be a better man on a daily basis although for several years now, I really haven't noticed too much of an improvement in what I say or do.

3) I've been an 'early morning riser' ever since my first memory of climbing out of my crib (bed...not house) to check things out by myself. And because of this, my first job was a morning paperboy (which I could do again tomorrow if this real estate thing went away! )

4) My life changed instantly and took an incredible turn for the best, the day I met my wife Mona.

5) I believe in God although talking to me, you'd never know it.


And now I pass this Meme along to Christine (you didn't call 'no tag backs'), Eric Rojas, Pat Kitano, and Joe Pinto.

  1. Geno - I MUST read more of what you write. You have a great "voice" - and I bet your accent only makes it better, yes?

    "...silently vow to be a better man on a daily basis although for several years now, I really haven't noticed too much of an improvement in what I say or do."

    I laughed quite hard, as I do a very similar thig - and just recently came to the same conclusion! Oh well!
