About Me

Q & A With Norm

The "Norm"al personal questions

Is Norm your real name? On this site? Sure. In real life? No. That would be Mike. The "Norm" nickname comes from high school when the sitcom Cheers was popular. I worked at Hy-Vee at the time and one of the guys from the meat department took to yelling out "Norm" every time I would walk by. Somehow that name stuck for the rest of my 3 years there. And when I went to college, it was the name I used on the college BBS.

And you've got family? Yep...

Can you provide more details? Yep...

Will you please do so now? Oh ok. I've got a great wife. You can ask her how long we've been married. It's OK that I don't know right? I also have to check with her on how old I am, since I'm past the age to rent a car in Texas.

Or you can could have looked at the top of this page. Well yeah I suppose I can do that. I'm sooooo happy that's back. I can count the years I'm on here. I'm on here a lot.

You are, but back to the family. Ok, so where did I leave off? I've got a 13 year old son who has a really warped sense of humor. I've got a 9 year old who is a bit headstrong. And a baby girl just born in February, who appears to be somewhere in between those 2 personalities.

So you've obviously got pets. Obviously? Why do you say that?

Well look at your profile picture. That's not my cat.

That isn't your cat? No

So you borrowed someone else's cat picture? I'm pretty sure it's a stray.

Someone took a picture of a overweight stray cat in a sink? *Whistles*

So back to the original pet question. When I went back to college, my wife told me if I went back to school she was going to get a dog for the kids. We still have the dog I was traded for.

The Ab"norm"al questions

You're not normal are you? Why do you say that?

Well for starters, your wife seems to feel that way. Not many women refer to their husbands as "One strange dude". You're not married are you?

Well, uh. Nevermind, this is my interview. Look I'm perfectly capable of being a jerk, but you know the times I'm the happiest? When I can make someone (especially a friend) crack a smile. I love those moments probably to a fault. And so on some days, I'll be odd and self deprecating all day long just for that one moment. If I have to deal with those moments where people realize that, but still smile I'm OK with that.

About those jerk times. Yes?

Want to talk about them? Got a couch?

Yes. You do? You do! Wow, this is comfy.

OK, so Mike the jerk. I don't want to talk about him.

You don't want to talk about him? Nope. I won't argue that I have a dark side, but the dark side needs to continue to die. There are many sins that I've committed that I need forgiveness for. But making a show of that here, won't help anyone. I don't want to glorify my past.

I thought you got me involved in interviewing you, because you wanted a spot in your profile for your testimony? I did. Well that and I wanted to lie down on this couch.

So how can you tell your testimony and not glorify your past? Actually the point of a testimony as I understand it is point out what God did for you. I don't want to glorify the past because if it was that great what the heck do I need a Saviour for? If life was better before why change?

We need to take a commercial break, but we'll back with more later.

Um Dad?  Yes, son? This has been a REAAAAAAAAAAAALLY long commercial.  But it's been a good one hasn't it?

Interests
I almost didn't fill in "Industry" because I hate the term "New Media". It's right up there with "Bandwidth" and "Swanky". Unless we're talking about an office, in which case I'll use all the bandwidth in my power as an agent of NEW MEDIA to get a swanky office. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Give me my cube.
Movies
Music
Books
Lawrence Block (Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbahr are the top 2), Janet Evanonich (Stephanie Plum series), Bathroom Reader, Dave Barry, Max Lucado, Greg Laurie, lots of different non fiction. Computer related stuff, I love the Head First series (even though there are a bunch I skip)
