Damn Wisey – she chain linked me and she chain linked me good. I’m normally averse to any type of chain mail scheme but I also cave easily to peer pressure. Given that I haven’t taken my advertising hat off on this blog, here are seven things you probably don’t know about me:

1. I’m colour blind and short sighted. Destined to be short and long sighted in about 20 years. I am screwed.

2. I drive a girl’s car. It’s a Renault Clio. She’s my bitch. This came about due to my previous car being an ’88 Camry which helped me develop my guns by making turns as easy as a 20kg bicep curl. I needed to get something small and light to give them a rest. The car is small but the guns remain huge.

3. I was destined to become an elite athlete. In 1996 I was crowned Junior Lawn Bowls Champion at Coolangatta Bowls Club. I won a push bike. The first time I rode the bike, I was standing up on it and one of the pedals snapped off which sent me falling straight down and slamming my children onto the crossbar. The next day I traded the bike in for a Nintendo64.

4.  I worked in a cinema for about three years. I saw heaps of free movies, ate way too much popcorn and caught heaps of teenagers half-naked on coke saturated cinema floors.

5. I was school captain in both primary and secondary school. I keep telling myself this is because I was ultra popular but more likely because I was an ultra nerd who put his hand up for the shit that no-one else could be bothered doing. And I like badges.

6. I’ve moved house nine times in nine years. I have a fairly strong disdain for real estate agents, bond payments and couch lifting in summer. And who said home ownership is over rated?

7. This is what the office I share looks like:

Now, I have to victimise seven other bloggers who must feel some sort of guilt strong enough to continue this on. On the upside, you get some link love – so I choose those who have been nice enough to contribute to my blog recently: 

1. Matt Bowen of Why Not Y – Not only a great blogger but does awesome work with Chasing Rainbows Australia
2. Andrew Dever of andrewdever.com – Runs three totally different blogs and has a killer layout.
3. Daniel Oyston of The Oyster Project – General funny bugger and has a giant spoon to stir the giant pot.
4. Lucio Ribeiro of Marketingeasy – Fantastic Twitterer and always take note of his life observations as well as his marketing prowess.
5. Matt Moore of Innotecture – Does a mean slideshow and diagram to get his point across. 
6. Brett Nicholson of DigitalOZ – Humanises digital happenings with insightful and humorous insights.
7. Zac Martin of Pigs Don’t Fly – I’m only asking for trouble when I ask Zac for things that we don’t already know about him…

Here are the rules…

• Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
• Link to your original tagger and list these rules in your 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.

I’m leaving for the mountains tomorrow morning to hunt bears, chop fire wood and drink brandy (added value: unknown fact #8). Should be back mid-next week. And yes, I was too lazy to write covering posts to tide me over in between. Looking forward to finding out some hidden gems from my seven special peeps. Adios!
