I took a week off, and I get tagged. So, it happened. CHADMAC has tagged me with the eight random facts thing. This is how it works - I post the following rules and then post some random little facts about myself. First, the rules:

  • We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
  • Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them each a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Second, the facts:

  1. I hate tagging memes with a passion because they seem to be a severe waste of time and (save any ulterior pageranking or link-whoring motives) only serve as fodder for someone who has nothing else to post about at the moment.
  2. I have nothing else to post about at the moment.
  3. I am God. Don’t believe me? Check out my email address: god@ccannizzaro.com.
  4. Speaking of being God, I’m a control freak. I’m not a backseat driver, and I’m not one to get agitated and irritable, but it will burn on the inside if I see someone doing something that I know can be done in a better, faster, or more efficient way.
  5. This blog is an experiment, meant only to serve my curiosity and love of learning. My blog has a finite lifespan, and, as God, only I know when it is predestined to end. At that point, all your links to my blog will lead to one of two places: 1) to nowhere (fitting for an athiestic site) or 2) to rather unattractive or uninteresting pictures of me and my family, friends, and dog.
  6. Speaking of my dog, his name is Darwin, but not for the religio-scientific Charles-inspired reasons that most people assume. We actually chose it because of its intrinsic meaning, which is “good friend, dear friend, or friend”. We thought it a fitting name for our dog.
  7. I’m weird and obsessive compulsive sometimes. I consciously avoid stepping on cracks on the sidewalk, but just the natural unplanned cracks, the seams that are supposed to be there don’t bother me. Not for any superstitious reasons, just because I don’t like to. I also flush the toilet in a public restroom with my foot, including the urinal, where I am forced to use my flying dragon ninja kick. I also have the highest possible frequent flyer status on two different airlines, I’ve flown hundreds of thousands of miles, and still have never seen the inside of an airplane bathroom. And if I have my way, I never will.
  8. I have arachnophobia. I know… how can God be afraid of spiders? but it’s true. As you know, I’ve never claimed to be a rational or reasonable entity.

Bonus fact: I’m not much for following the rules. I have a general disdain for authority, especially undeserved authority. And I typically learn the hierarchy of an organization or system only so I know how to subvert it when necessary.

So I’m not tagging anyone with this meme. The buck, as they (yes, that they) say, stops here.
