I was zapped by Erin from Blue Thoughts in this crazy game of blog tag. It's sort of like a chain letter (and I hate those things). I don't even care for those forward emails that everyone seems to love. People don't even send them to me anymore (most of the time) because I usually won't read them.
Anyway, Brian already broke the chain so I will also half-ass this thing.
Here are the rules:
A) Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
B) Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
C) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
D) Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1. I may be the only person in the world who doesn't own a cellphone. What about emergencies? I've blown out a tire on a major highway in the middle of the night while it was snowing. TWICE. I managed.
2. I have a twin sister. No, we are not identical and no we can't read each other's thoughts.
3. If I pay for something in cash, I never give exact change. Even if I have it. Gimme those coins!!
4. I always wanted to learn to play the bass guitar when I was a kid, but for one reason or another I never did. A few years ago I finally picked one up (complete with the "teach yourself" DVD). While no one will ever mistaken me for a pro, I'm somewhat pleased with how my playing has come around. The first bassline I learned was "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream.
5. I don't drink alcohol. No, I'm not religious and yes I've been drunk before. And no, I'm not a recovering alcoholic.
6. I think The Simpsons is the greatest TV show in the history of the world. And I possess the geek-like encyclopedic knowledge to prove it.
7. I save the ticket stub to every sporting event or concert I go to. I've got a pretty nice collection. Wanna know where I sat during Dwight Gooden's no-hitter in 1996 or the Jets' Midnight Miracle in 2000? How bout Metallica in 1992 or Tool in 2001? Of course you don't.
Well, that's it. I won't spread this pestilence to other bloggers, but I will link to everyone else on the network for your reading pleasure:
El Lefty Malo, Cobra Brigade, Stop Mike Lupica, Loge 13, Fightin' Phils Fans, Giggin' On Ya, Tremendous Upside Potential and Arin It Out.
Enjoy!

Hi, good article. I am a bigtime fan of Metallica as well. Their CD from 2008, Death Magnetic was amazing and showed that these guys are still alive and well. Iron Maiden is another band still kickin - I am completely stoked for the tour this summer! Are you planning to go see it? Anyway... slick blog... I'm subscribed to your RSS feed now so thanks again!
