Truth and Lies.

Omally tagged me, forcing me to tell five facts about myself. If this doesn't get me the highest comment count so far, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

Here goes.

1. I don't like the last-year me. I've re-read my blogs from 2006, and the Kouros that wrote them is a bit of a twat. In all fairness it was a very stressful time. I was losing a job I hated, but had no direction as to where I wanted to go. Still, I was self centred, disrespectful and a bit of a wanker. Life is all about changes. Some are for the better, some are for the worse. I hope I've changed for the better.

2. I'm a hypocritical bastard. That's all changing (the statements in the blog, that is, not the hypocrisy). Ween knows, though I won't actually propose until the new year, eight years after we met. I went to see the ring today. It looks fantastic - a jeweler friend made it, so it should, though the price has taken me aback somewhat. Worth every penny.

3. Like Omally, I am a son, a brother, a cousin and an uncle. One part of me would love to be a dad... unlike Omally, however, one part of me is petrified at the prospect. Like marriage, I guess it is something I will grow into much sooner than I realise, but jeeeeez....

4. I've never finished Lord of the Rings. The films, yes, but the book, nah. Really, it's as boring as bringing a cup of tea to the boil by breathing on it.

5. I really did name myself after a pair of shoes. Aftershave had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Because I dislike the last year me so much, I've considered starting afresh, and killing off this name. It would do in two birds with one stone. No more Kouros. That scares me more than having kids.

Kouros is a good name, just consider yourself the new, improved, washes whiter version!

You ARE Mr Toad.
Finish the damn book(s). His other stuff is dire
Being a dad seems to have been my whole life, so much so that my son accuses me of not being adventurous enough (as if bringing him and his sister up wasnt an adventure!)

I'd never seen myself as Mr. Toad before, but you are so right! Poop poop!

1. Everyone has room for improvement.

2. I hope she says yes!

3. EVERYONE is petrified by parenthood. If they aren't, they should be.

4. Me neither.

5. Time it for Easter and cash in on the other reincarnation.

You could always rename yourself "Hi Karate" instead.

And you're nothing like Mr Toad. Oh,hang on though, yes: I remember your driving skills now. Particularly when I wake up screaming at 3am.
