Aaron Mentele forwarded a meme.  The rules, copied from his post:

• Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged

The topic is “7 things you wish you didn’t know about me.”  Here goes.

1. I love Justin Timberlake.  Seriously.  I think he’s an amazing artist and gets too much crap from haters.
2. When my grandfather was 19-years-old, he was translating Bibles in Kenya.  He and my grandmother had three children deep in Africa, did a lot of good there, and lived to tell about it.  Knowing this fact and comparing it against what I was doing when I was 19 really, really depresses me.
3. I am a born-again Christian, which I find harder and harder to talk about every day I spend on the Internet.  There’s a tide of atheism rolling in that’s getting tougher and tougher to hold your head above these days.  I have a lot of guilt over this.
4. At one time, I was a Webmaster of “the biggest James Bond site on the Internet” — Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (no link, ’cause it’s no longer around…).  It was really big — we interviewed directors of the films, we hob-nobbed with the writer of the novels, we got invited to the film premiers, United Artists linked to our site from jamesbond.com, etc.  While I love that this happened, it feels really juvenile to talk about.
5. I have very little life outside my job.  Every day, I find it harder and harder to relate to anything that doesn’t have something to do with the business.
6. I find Guitar Hero incredibly repetitive and boring beyond about five minutes.
7. I hate dogs.  Absolutely loathe them.  When a dog licks me, I have to restrain myself from breaking its damn neck.

I send this to:

• Carla White
• Tim Schoffelman
• Chris Lukenbill
• Ben Bertrand

I’ll try to think of three more.  It’s Christmas Eve.  Lighten up.
