• Seven Things

It was only a matter of time, I suppose.  St. Peter has called me out to join the Internet chain-letter phenomenon of posting seven facts about myself that may be of interest.  Here goes

  1. I was the frontman (singer/songwriter/guitarist) for a band.  We released an album which you can preview and purchase on iTunes.  Personal favorite: track 4.  The band called it quits after the drummer and bass player broke up.  Bonus cliché: I delivered pizza for most of my musical career.
  2. Favorite guitar: Fender Telecaster HS (humbucker in the neck position).  When I learned that Fender stopped making them, I bought a second one on eBay and had it professionally set up.
  3. My hobby is collecting hobbies.  Music, writing, photography, web stuff, Mac fanboyism, video, social media, cooking, painting, collecting movies, design, drawing, and collecting domain names.  My unmaintainable list of hobbies means I’m not especially good at any one of these things.
  4. I was a contributing author for this book.  I wasn’t paid.
  5. I’ve been skydiving.  If you haven’t done it, you should.
  6. I have a tattoo on my left arm.  It’s the logo for one of my favorite bands, and reminds me that no matter how much of a corporate tool I become, I’m still a wannabe rock star at heart.
  7. My hair used to be very long.  Like down to my ass.  I looked like a girl.  Years later, I maintain that cutting it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I’m going to risk death and dismemberment now by breaking the chain.  Primarily because I can’t think of seven people who have blogs and haven’t already participated.  I reserve the right to reverse this decision at any time.
