She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.

5! – The number you can say the loudest!

No, I’m not going to explain that one right now, other than to
(A) tell you that its origins (in my life, anyway) go back to my days as a quasi-DeadHead. I say “quasi” because I never fully embraced the lifestyle, and I never traveled further than a few hundred miles to see the band (and really, it was more to be with my friends than to see the band anyway); and
(B) tell you to try it for yourself—you’ll discover that “5” is, indeed, the number you can say the loudest.

OK, that said, on with my post…
I found this on another blog, except that she had used “4” as her number, rather than “5.” I have a certain affinity for the number “5” (as explained above--sort of) and Timely Manor is my turf, so “5” it is. Here goes...

5 jobs I have had:
1) band manager
2) accounts manager
3) chiropractic assistant
4) chauffer
5) caterer

5 movies I could watch over and over:
1) Philadelphia Story
2) Chicago
3) Lost in Translation
4) Pirates of the Caribbean
5) Under the Tuscan Sun

5 blogs I visit regularly:
1) 327market.blogspot.com
2) mollyuninterrupted.blogspot.com
3) dankimball.typepad.com
4) nabajuice.blogspot.com
5) shrimpplate.blogspot.com

5 places I would rather be right now:
1) Tahoe (with my brother)
2) Grenada (with Sa)
That’s it.

5 songs I could listen to over and over:
1) Hallelujah – sung by Jeff Buckley or Justin Dillon or Ari Hest
2) The Blower’s Daughter – Damien Rice
3) Down to Beautiful – Tremolo
4) Pretty the World - Matt Nathanson
5) Sweet Abandon – Maeve
6) Breathing – Lifehouse
7) Thinking About John Hartford – Jim Brunberg
8) David (151) – Suzanne Brewer
9) Suspended – Matt Nathanson

5 reasons I blog:
1-4) to share my stories, thoughts, ideas, dreams
5) to perpetuate a false sense of self-importance ;-]

OK, so I cheated on some of those. (You couldn't really expect me to limit anything music-related to just 5, now could you?!)

I'm not going to "tag" anyone else to do this, but if you do join in, please leave a link in the comments so we can all enjoy it. Thanks.

Cheers!
