Seven Things

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.

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 hobnobbed 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.
