I’ve been tagged by Kristen (and then Brett too) to do the IMPOSSIBLE: Six Word Memoir. I sat down and tried a few (which you can read at the end by clicking the “continue reading….” link), but have settled on the following:
ex-hedonist motivated diabetic dad, husband, athlete
There is no way you can sum up a person’s life in six words, but I think you can capture their current state, which is what I’ve tried to do. Now, here’s the rules for the five of you that I challenge to complete the SWM.
1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4. Tag at least five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
And the lucky tag-ees are: Charlie, Ryan, Marcus, Heidi, and Chris
Aspiring to be more than six four letter words to y’all,
Jamie, The Diabetic Runner
partier turned loving diabetic dad, husband
smoker/drinker/partier healthy/diabetic/athlete
my wife and kids complete me
creative lazy capable lost conscious bored
blonde hair blue eyes tall taken
love-hate diabetes running writing working
claustrophobic creative lucky eater capable humorous
search google for this word: JCSSixWordMemoir (and here, the lone search result would be a 100 page memoir of me - yeah right, like I’m going to write this… NEXT IDEA)

Ah, this shall be interesting but I’m up to the challenge. Give me some time to think…
I don’t like doing these things. (That was 6 words, wasn’t it? - hehehe)
But I’ll play along!
Have I told you yet that I am over a 1/3 of the way to completing my 1,000 mile resolution?
That’s great - I love it! And I laughed out loud at the “six four letter words” part
Arrghhh, I first heard about this on the radio morning show about a month ago. I think this is a product of Ernest Hemingway. You’ve challenged me, now I’ll do it.
Hey, I think u should do the 100 pg JCSSixWordMemoir! You’re off to a great start!
