Ron's Favorites
I feel it's important to have a good rapport with your therapist. To help you decide if I'm your type I am making a list of my favorite things. (no Whiskers on kittens or brown paper packages)
Television Show - Project Runway; Tim Gunn is the Man, I've been thinking of following Suede's example and speaking of myself in 3rd person.
Country Song- "He stopped loving her today" George Jones | close second is "Whiskey Lullaby" Brad Paisley and Allison Krause; I know they're sad songs but isn't that the essence of country music?
Rock Song- "Crocodile Rock" Elton John (I know I'm dating myself)
Pastime- Thinking of ways to annoy my wife (I'm really good at this one)
Exercise- Pushups (I have a soft spot for this one, maybe because I invented them)
Muscle:Do you think you know what my favorite muscle would be? Take 30 seconds to think about it then follow the link to find out if your right.
Exercise Icon- Jack LaLanne(you should see me in my powder blue jump suit) | close second is Richard Simmons; I'm not sure why, maybe it's the perm or the fact I used to have a pair of those red and white striped Saucony running shorts.
Nascar Driver - Kevin Harvick; I think I like Kevin because we are so much alike, we both have smokin' hot wives and are balding. I just can't bring myself to wear the new shell colors they're just not manly enough for me. I'll just stick with the old black tan and red.
Now my wife says that Kevin Harvick is her favorite driver, however, this is her true favorite driver.
