Jean decided to see fit that I get tagged with another meme… a six word meme. A little story behind it: Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).
The rules?
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 the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4) Tag at least six more blogs with links.
I could probably use a paraphrase of Steven Wright (Got batteries, but they weren’t included.) to show my great fortune, but I won’t. So here’s my lame ass attempt.
40 years, 45 states, worn sole.
I’m not tagging anyone… you can do this as you wish. Weeellll…. wait one. I will tag someone. Someone who managed to dodge a creativity issue.

I’m still thinking, I’m not creative.
That’s 6 more words.
Or how about:
