Tag it Up

I was tagged about a month ago and have done nothing about it, but have finally gotten around to it. So here we go, a peak into the wild life of the Little Guzy Guy.

Five Jobs I have had:
1. My first job was when I was 15 years old. It was the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of high school. I worked at Samurai Sams, a fast food Japanese restaurant. I loved it because we were allowed to eat as much free food as we wanted along with all the free pop that we could drink. It didn’t pay very well, but I didn’t know any better. I think I made about $6.00 an hour, but with all the benefits mentioned above I made more like $12.00 buck an hour. I ate a lot.
2.I worked for 2 summers as a construction man for brother John Sheffield. A great job that paid 10 dollars an hour and wasn’t all that hard. I didn’t do a bit of skilled work, mostly digging and moving trash all day. Not to bad.
3.Before my freshman year at BYU I worked as a copy boy at a law firm in downtown Denver. Not too hard of a job, but I was treated like, well a copy boy by all the lawyers who I didn’t like very much. Also, I had to travel about 45 minutes to an hour everyday to get there so that wasn’t very fun. I became an expert on how to use a copy machine though, a skill I still utilize today. This is also where I honed in on my foosball skills because every Friday afternoon all the lawyers would gather in the “foosball room” where they would break out the beers and play. They allowed the copy boy to play every once in a while.
4.Right after I got back from the mission I worked 11-hour days digging pools for brother Reardon. By far the hardest job I have ever had. After about a week I had trouble opening my hands every morning. I shoveled more dirt than your average man does in a lifetime. It was a very satisfying job because I felt like I was actually doing something important and I learned a lot. Also, to see a giant hole that I dug made me feel quite manly.
5.The last job I had was a janitor at the hospital here in Provo. I cleaned for an hour every night the Urology clinic. It stunk. Need more be said?

Places I have lived:
1.Born in Jefferson City, Missouri and lived there until I was 4.
2.Lived in Littleton, Colorado for most of my life.
3.Lived in Provo, Utah for a total of almost 3 years now.
4.Lived in Boston, Massachusetts for a month waiting for my visa to Ghana.
5.Lived in Ghana, Africa for 14 months.
6.Lived in Bo, Sierra Leone for about 9 months.

Favorite Foods
1.A beef meximelt from Taco Bell.
2.Dad’s BBQ glazed pork steaks.
3.Mom’s mashed potatoes.
4.Kristen's Beef Enchiladas.
5.Fufu with katenkuin.
6.Tomatoes (this is for Dad so he will finally know)
7.Anything else besides olives. I am a human trash can!!!


Top Five Movies
1.Signs
2.Hotel Rwanda
3.The Fugitive
4.Clear and Present Danger
5.Jurassic Park 3!!!!!!

Top Five Shows
1.Seinfeld
2.Charles in Charge
3.The Office
4.Batman (the cartoon)
5.Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader (For Real)

Four Weird Things about Me
1.I love mustard. One of my favorite snacks is a Lays Potato chip dipped in mustard. I also like mustard and mayonnaise sandwich’s but that is a different story.
2.My name Andrew Foster literally means “Manly Forrester.” Well I guess that isn’t too weirdJ
3.One of my toes is bent over so it give my feet the appearance that they are webbed. So far there have been no adverse effects, but who know. Ty would know all about this defect of mine.
4. I have started to make some transitions in my preferences for foods which are making me more and more like my dad. I used to enjoy Ranch dressing on my salads, but then moved to Caesar. But in the past few months I finally made the switch to Blue Cheese. I am now stuck on Blue Cheese. Another example is I use to like sweet pickles, but I now enjoy only Dill (I’m not sure what kind of pickle you like dad). Anyway, I think I am becoming more and more like my dad and there is nothing I can do about it. At least in what I eat.

Places I Would Rather Be
1.Anywhere where my beautiful wife is!!!!
2.I West Africa with the most wonderful people on earth.
3.At Taco Bell enjoying a Meximelt with some Hot Sauce.
4.With the whole family winning some kind of competition. (like the most manly man)

New Category: Funniest Foster
1.Mark, everyone knows he is the funniest.
2.Ty, a surprising yet deserving finish.
3.Kristen, when she is on a roll she is on a roll.
4.Adam, there is just something about the man.

The list could go on, but I will stop there.

I am tagging Mom, Adam, and Ty.

Great post! I am surprised you didn't mention the plastic factory as one of your jobs.

I wasn't aware of your love for Charles in Charge. And of course we all know Jurassic Park 3 was one of the best ever:)

Oh and thanks for the compliment of one of the funniest Foster's. I do think that Mark should be ahead of me, but Ty.. come on.

Dad said...

Are you kidding me Goose. I didn't even make the top for on in the funniest person category. You're whole list of things has lost all credibility with the old man as that is absurb. You think I'm not funnier than Ty and Kristen? What is wrong with you?

Terribly disappointed in you Goose.

(by the way, I do like Dill pickles and way to go on Blue Cheese....it is a very well kept secret and you have found it out...even Mom is starting to come around on that.

I too find myself becoming more and more like my father as I grow older. I will never let myself go so far as to start eatin bleu cheese dressing. Puke!

I'm sorry, but I have to take exception to your choice of Signs as your number 1 movie. That is just not acceptable. I reject your number 1. Although, when they first see the alien walk by that was pretty freaky.

Why are you ashamed of your crooked toe. It is a genetic enhancement that aids your stability and agility. Genetically, you are an evolutionary generation ahead of your siblings (except for me of course).

Hooray for a new post from the Goose Man!

Now, Goose, I know that you've been on a mission for about half of my marriage to your brother. That is why I am going to excuse you from excluding me on the Funniest Foster list. Time will show that I have a rightful place on this list.

I, too, have to reject your movie choice of 'Signs'. Oh my. Movies just don't get much worse in my book. But it's your list so who amy I to judge? I'm sure that the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice wouldn't make the cut for you. :)

All in all, I think you are a very interesting man and we are very lucky to be related to you!

Sorry. The above comment was not from Tyler, but from me, his lovely wife.

sorry bub but i am the ONLY one who can determine the funniest foster. so back off. i think my list would now be One Mark, Two Drew, Three Jeff, and Four Adam. But that couls all change over Thanksgiving... but know that if anyone wishes to defeat Mark, it will be the hardest thing you will ever attemp in your life time.
