Jeez, it’s a little dusty in here, isn’t it? Seeing as how I haven’t posted anything since early March, I thought I should get something up here, before I’m no longer the top Google search result for “Jeremy Oswald”.

While I was ignoring this Website, my college buddy Derek “tagged” me in the Wife Swap post comments. Even though I don’t typically like this kind of stuff, I don’t want Derek to think I’m ignoring him. I’m not ignoring you Derek. In fact, here’s a picture of our badass college selves:

Derek is on the left right

In any case, I completely ignored every single one of these stupid survey things that I received on email over the years, when email was all the rage. But here are the questions I’m supposed to answer, and my responses:

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Josh and I had just moved back to Fresno from Indiana in January. Short moved to Fresno too, I think 10 years ago this month, and we were looking for a house to rent. We eventually found one and were kicked out about three months later.

Short, Josh and I were all working for my dad at Avante Health, although it was called Genesis Healthcare Management at that time. We’d play on our dial up Internet connections, and Short would refer to his college text books to figure out what he was supposed to be doing to market the company.

2. Five things on my to do list today?
Not necessarily in this order:

1. Wake up
2. Shower
3. Go to the gym
4. Make dinner
5. Work

3. Five or so places I have traveled?

1. Most recently NYC. I’ll post some pictures and a little something about that trip once I get this “tagged” thing behind me. Look for something new to be posted around December.
2. Costa Rica
3. Various countries in Europe
4. Various states
5. The Fresno Fulton Mall – Actually, this was the most recent, as I walked around looking for something to eat this afternoon. It was kind of like a foreign country. I was submersed in a Spanish culture and couldn’t communicate effectively. I finally settled on Guadalajara Taqueria (1139 Fulton Mall). If you ever travel to the Fulton Mall, I’d recommend it.

4. Five snacks/treats I enjoy
I’m a health nut:

1. Original Goldfish
2. Buffalo wings
3. Salt & Vinegar chips
4. Hot n Spicy Beef Jerky (ideally not packaged, you pull a big slab from a jar)
5. Cheetos

5. What would I do if I were a billionaire?
I can’t count that high. Besides, I’m working on the whole “hundredaire” thing first. If I could count that high, I’d buy a few places to live and rotate through them throughout the year, eating well and trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Maybe work on jeremyoswald.com full time?

6. Five bad habits.

1. Procrastinate
2. Always late
3. Over commit
4. Chew on my tongue
5. Crack my knuckles in public

7. Places I have lived.

• Olney, MD
• Colombia, MD
• Hughesville, PA
• Fresno, CA
• Goshen, IN
• Clovis, CA

8. Jobs I’ve had (kind of in order)

• Doorhanger – Domino’s Pizza
• Doorhanger – Popolo’s Pizza (they poached me, I was that good)
• Dishwasher – Popolo’s Pizza (big promotion)
• Janitor – Oswald Associates (I cleaned the office for a bit and then left for college. Josh took over, but unfortunately for him, an ass doctor of some kind moved in next door and shared the bathroom. The bathroom that my brother had to clean everyday.)
• Cook – Camp Keola
• Sales Associate – Eddie Bauer

9. People I think should answer these questions (you’ve been tagged!)
