The BIG, BIG Interview

Two months ago I had the distinct pleasure of having a reader read through every single post I'd ever written -- and it wasn't my mom.  Later, she profiled me in a big, big interview where she had the audacity to ask me some very pointed -- and revealing -- questions.  Have no fear.  I revealed EVERYTHING.  This excellent interviewer and amazing reader's name is preTzel .

Guess what?  She's back again.  And this time she's got a whole list of questions.  Only this time there's a twist. 

This time Ana's the subject.  Pretzel thought it'd be interesting to interview Ana after Sienna was born and get her thoughts on the pregnancy, the birth - and ME.

Sample Interview Questions:

Q: What was the first thing that attracted you to Brian?
A:  His ass.

Q: Does Brian know how to take apart a car and put it back together again?
A: No, thank god.

Q: Who is better in bed: Brian or Pablo ?
A:  Brian, definitely.

Oh, wait.  Those are MY questions.

To read Ana's big, big interview GO HERE NOW .  Seriously, make the jump.  It's that good.

Don't do it for me. 

Do it for Ana.

See for yourself the remarkable woman she is and why I fell (hopelessly) in love with her.

And: How she may have very well coined the best catch phrase ever! 

Trust me, you'll know the one.

P.S. (Rumor is there's also another picture of Sienna.)

I want the loudest CHEERLEADER for my B-DAY

Today is a big, big day.  Today, PAPA turn 35 years old. 

It's so BIG I'm announcing it in Third Person.

"What do you want for your birthday?"  Ana asks.

What do ALL guys want to "celebrate" their birthday?

"Besides THAT," she says.

So I give it some real thought.  What do I want for my B-day?

The Part in which PAPA lists his B-DAY wishes:

I want many things.  I want Sienna my first child to be born beautiful, perfect, and healthy.  I want Ana to have a safe, short labor.  I want everyone coming to visit us to have safe flights and Frequent Flier points.  I want a better economy.  And brighter times.  I want people with stronger values and real morals.  I want hope.  I want people to care.  I want Nikki to stop having bad days (again).

And....

And...

And I want the biggest, loudest cheerleader.  I want her/him to YELL my name across the blogosphere.  YELL IT HIGH AND LOUD. 

GO PAPA!  GO PAPA!  IT'S YOUR B-DAY!  EVERYBODY GO READ SOME PAPA!!

Everyone's had a cheerleader that's put their name on blast.  Helped spread their name big and wide.

Black Hockey Jesus had Stefanie and MetrodadBackpacking Dad had The Red Neck Mommy.  Sarah Palin had John McCain.  (Um, yeah.)

People have whispered of PAPATV.  They have called it incendiary.  Dicey.  Sexy times for the sexy set.  And "The best kept secret on the web". 

I don't want to be the best kept secret.  I want to be THE BEST.

I'm the little kid begging for his Wii "More, more, more" or David Duchovny or Eric Benet for sex "More, more, more..."

I want to hear my name.  I want it ROARED.  I want my stat counter to breakdown.  My blog to crash.  My inbox to flood.  My feedburner to bleed.  Twitter to Fail Whale me.

PAPA, PAPA, PAPA, you got to read his shit!  He's outta control.  He FUGIFIED the NET.  He's dirty.  He's sweet.  He eats strangely shaped sushi rolls .  He takes his dog to work.  He makes Kegel videosHe met (and hired) Mr. Black.

The part in which PAPA uses video games as a Metaphor:

You know in video games where you find a secret door and discover the next level?  Or skip ahead three levels?

I want the next level. 

I want to eat green mushrooms and grow BIGGER.  I want to STUMBLE UPON big boots and jump HIGHER.  Discover new doors and teleport into new worlds FASTER.

The part in which PAPA throws down a challenge:

But I need your help.  I want the biggest, loudest cheerleader.  Blast my name.  Light up the blogosphere.  Be my FAVORITE.  And tear down the Technorati wall!

WHO WILL BE MY CHEERLEADER(S)?

-- B-DAY PAPA

...

And for all my current readers: big, big props and mad love.

Pablo sightings in Houston

Today I'm featured over at Good Mom/Bad Mom.  It's my second time appearing which can be explained by: a) good writing b) generosity of Jenny & Mindy or c) 2x(x-4y*)/6a+2.

Stalking just got easier

You know when you stalk someone and you're like "God, I wish there was like a one-stop shop where I could go and learn EVERYTHING about that person?

Now there is.  If it's ME you're stalking. 

Neil Kramer over at Citizen of the Month did a little interview experiment, and I had the pleasure double the pleasure of being interviewed by rockstar and 80's Karaoke grand champion legend: preTzel.  She's also been a mother for 19 years!

You can find the full interview HERE.

Go read the interview, explore her site, and see which posts she voted most popular.  Leave your own answers in the comments. 

Warning: You may never look at your Oral B toothbrush the same.
