8 Random Facts About Me: A Tagging Game

// July 12th, 2007 // Meme Posts

From left field, I got tagged. Seriously, I was getting caught up on some Blog Catalog messages, and contacts when I found a message from Marvia telling me that she tagged me… Now typically I get tagged by others out of revenge, however this one wasn’t… Weird I know!

It would seem that people I don’t know are reading this blog… We all know it happens, yet when you’re reminded of it, it really stops you in your tracks..

Ok, enough about that and onto 8 “random” facts about, well, me.

  1. I’m licensed: Pilot, SCUBA instructor, car, truck, radio operator, and boat
  2. My drink of choice is Root Beer.
  3. I would very much like to write a 25 year later follow up book to Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine’s Last Chance To See
  4. I have never physically met another blogger
  5. I have a tattoo on my arm which reads DESTINY, and when turned upside down, it reads CHOICE. The artwork for it was used in the header graphic of my first blog template… actually, it is still in use on the index page for this domain..
  6. I don’t trust ladders.
  7. Thanks to the Dave Matthews Band, I found (and later married), my soul mate, Colleen.
  8. My unique ability is being able to disassemble complex concepts, plans, processes, layouts, etc., and reassemble them in a more logical and efficient structure.

Hopefully those are random enough bits about me, and the more I think about it, the only one in the world who is aware of all 8, is Colleen. Interesting..

Ok, so in keeping with the meme, it is time to ‘tag’ 8 fellow bloggers and hope that they will participate and share a bit about themselves.

(side note: I have only linked the blogs here and have not contacted these authors directly. I know, kind of outside the rules of the game, however, I have always wondered if others are aware of their inbound links like I am and so this is my small test. Each of the blogs listed is WELL worth the time to visit and I hope that the authors will not hold this test against the meme and will participate. As each one does, I will update the link with their actual blog post.)

    Tully,
    Happy that you participated!
    Gee had I known about the revenge bit….;-)
    This ‘tagging game’ has so far revealed some truly interesting personalities behind the Blogs.
    #8 is a rare trait!

    Ok, I’ll work on this, it might take me a day or two.

    In response: 4) How do you know?

    Marvia – Rare.. Unique… My wife calls me ‘special’ – whatever that means.. *shrug*

    But Bob – we’ve been so long without quality memes!

    Greg – haven’t met, as in shaking-of-hand and “Great to meet you” type physical meeting. Sure, dude at the local video store MIGHT be a blogger… You’re not him are you?! ;)

    Fact #8 helps me understand both your blog and YOU better. I concur with this assessment of you! :)

    Hey now! See Marvia – it’s a tough crowd around here!

    Hey, any thoughts on how I can do more of what I’m good at is always welcomed! (I tore apart an organization chart the other day so it could be adapted to a website – never been happier!) ;)

    I was tagged a couple of times for this meme but never get around to it. There is no difference between blogging and real life: if you have time for something or not always depends on who is asking you ;)

    I’ll post about it this weekend. Much power to you!

    Thanks for the ad at BlogCatalog and what a great way to be introduced. It’s always good to know a person behind the blog you know.

    Steli – does that mean I wield power in your life? Hey, I like the sounds of that! Kidding – hey, your call, if you have time great, if not, no worries. I could also see it being of great value to your readership especially.

    Renny – BC does have it’s uses at times! Not sure about this new broadcast thing, but hey, regardless – welcome to the madness!
